Hot New Release – Space Miner: Space Ore Bust
Feb 8th
The iPhone just got a new time sink, and it is called Space Miner: Space Ore Bust. Space Miner is a zero gravity space shooter with a wacky story line and extensive RPG elements.
By itself, Space Miner is a great shooter, but add in a fun story line, massive ship customization, highly polished 3D art, and tons of exploration, and you get one of the best games available for the iPhone to date. It is very rare that a gem like this comes along, and should not be missed.
Expect to see a more extensive review in the future. Space Miner: Space Ore Bust from the Venan Arcade development team is currently available on the iTunes store for $4.99.
