Since Infinity Blade (App Store for $5.99) launched just five days ago, it’s hauled in an estimated $1.6M and counting, according to GameIndustry and AppModo when analyzing Game Center data. According to the data, over 274,000 members had registered the game, and likely many more have bought the app without registering with Game Center.
Whenever I get a few minutes of “down” time (a real rarity these days), I do a little hack-and-slash on Infinity Blade. If you need a little touchscreen slicing and dicing practice, I can’t help but think of Fruit Ninja being a good, harmless warm-up for the more serious and life-or-death struggle found in Infinity Blade. Yes, that last thought was very random, but while playing the game, I’m oft reminded that I’ve used the same swipes to slaughter helpless watermelons, kiwi fruit, bananas and the like. Infinity Blade truly offers more depth and stunning graphics, however. If you haven’t picked it up already, then you should consider it if you like the genre.
