'Smash Cops Launching This Week

So, there you were. Looking at our upcoming games list and getting psyched about Smash Cops. And then the game was pulled before you could buy it. Good news: it's re-hitting the App Store this week, and reviews should be follow it on January 19th or so. Yay!

What was up with the delay? Licensing issues. In a statement sent to us at the time of the postponement, developer Hutch explained soberly that it hoped to "get [its] forms straightened out" and get back into the App Store this week. And, hey, it did -- but not before about 5,000 lucky dudes purchased the game.

If you still haven't been introduced to Smash Cops, check out its trailer. It's a Burnout-style game with an fresh virtual control scheme that should, actually, make for something special. We're definitely stoked to get our hands on a final build.
