Mid-week iOS releases: Run Roo Run, Woody Woodpecker, Urban Crime, and more

Welcome back to Pocket Gamer's round-up of the latest iPhone and iPad mid-week releases.

As you all probably know by now, we produce this article because we're simply too busy to bring you a story on every single new mid-week release.

These games have recently hit the New Zealand App Store, meaning they should be available to download in the UK and US from around midnight this evening.

Playing as a battle-hardened drifter in Star Marine: Infinite Ammo, you have to destroy wave after wave of the extraterrestrial nasties that have taken you hostage.

You have seven different weapons to help you complete your task, including the awesome-sounding Decimator HD: a highly explosive grenade launcher.

Chillingo's new undead-filled shooter sees you visit ancient Egypt, a Viking hut, a scary castle, and a range of other locations on the hunt for flesh-eating zombies.

Unfortunately, ninjas, sumo wrestlers, and flaming pharaohs are also out to cause you trouble, so it's a good job you have a tasty selection of weapons up your sleeve.
