The highly anticipated Sons of Anarchy: The Prospect by Orpheus Interactive is getting hammered in the Customer Reviews section of the App Store. Even though the game supports iOS 6.0 it doesn't support older hardware such as the iPhone 4s and iPad 3. This is causing the game to crash which has earned it a two star rating. There is also very little talk about the game on the Touch Arcade forums and there seem to very few, if none, industry reviews, making it very hard to judge if this one is a dud or just suffering from a few release glitches. Sons of Anarchy: The Prospect is available on the App Store for $1.99.
Releasing games based on popular older movies seems to becoming a trend these days. First the lackluster Princess Bride game hit the App Store a few weeks ago, and now the creators of RuPaul’s Drag Race: Dragopolis have released Mean Girls: The Game for mobile devices. Mean Girls: The Game is a tower defense title where players must "fight off the new clique from piecing together the Spring Fling Tiara and taking over North Shore High School." The game is available for $3.99 on the App Store.
