The Week in iOS Apps: Beatdown
This week’s roundup of iOS apps features a bit of the old ultraviolence, as well as innovative ways to make your teen hate you.
Already this week, we brought you reviews of The Room and NBA 2K13, as well as news of a game that co-stars the legendary Danny Trejo and the legendary Steve Wozniak. Here are other new and updated apps that caught our eye this week.
