[Every week, Gamasutra sums up sister iPhone site FingerGaming's top news and reviews for Apple's nascent -- and increasingly exciting -- portable games platform, as written by editor in chief Danny Cowan and authors Tucker Dean, Jason Johnson, Ryan Hibbeler, and Mike Rose.] This week, FingerGaming covers Gameloft's Iron Man 2 and the return of App Store favorite Edge. Also within are the lists for top-grossing, most-downloaded free and paid Apps from Apple's store, as well as reviews for Warpgate, Giant Moto, and Mikado Defenders. Here are the top stories from the last seven days: - Iron Man 2 Now Available in App Store "Gameloft's video game adaptation of the Marvel superhero film Iron Man 2 launched today in the iTunes App Store, boasting two playable characters and a variety of skill upgrades." - Top-Grossing Game Apps: Iron Man 2 Tops iPhone Sales on Launch Day "Gameloft's Iron Man 2 leads the iPhone sales charts in its first day of release, beating out Clickgamer's Angry Birds and last week's chart leader Chaos Rings." - Review: Warpgate "Warpgate may not be a revival of the glory days of the PC space sim, but it's a great game in its own right, and once you pick it up you'll have trouble putting it down without finishing just one more mission." - Mobigame's Edge Returns to App Store, Now Available for $0.99 "Mobigame's wonderful but legally troubled isometric action-puzzler Edge is back in the App Store, and for a limited time, it's available for only 99 cents." - Review: Mikado Defenders "There's enough different going on here to make Mikado Defenders worth recommending to those who have grown bored of the tower defense genre and to other strategy-minded gamers who never got on board in the first place." - Top iPad Game Apps: Iron Man 2 Takes on Flight Control HD "Gameloft's Iron Man 2 makes an impressive debut at sixth place, beating out Laminar's X-Plane, Angry Birds HD, and CrowdCafe's recently released Sudoku HD for iPad." - Review: Giant Moto "Rocket 5 gives the iPhone its first Excitebike clone which tries to stay true to the Nintendo formula, while delivering updated graphics and touch-screen controls." - Top iPhone Game Apps: Angry Birds, Chop Chop Runner Head Charts "As Angry Birds tops iPhone app sales for the second week running, Halfbrick Studios' fruit-slicing action title Fruit Ninja takes third place in its debut week, leaving Skee-Ball at fourth." - Review: Alive-4-ever RETURNS "Even if I were into slaughtering hordes of grotesque organisms that look like something my cat coughed up, I still couldn't recommend Alive 4-Ever. There's just not much entertainment to be found underneath all the grungy assets." - German Hip Hop Group Fanta 4 Gets iPhone Pinball Game "German hip hop pioneer group Die Fantastischen Vier makes its App Store debut with Fanta 4 Pinball, an Amiga-styled pinball sim from Bad Monkee, publishers of the well-received iPhone remake of Giana Sisters."
