Newbies
Welcome back to Pocket Gamer's round-up of the latest iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad mid-week releases.
As you all probably know by now, we produce this article each week because we're simply too busy to bring you a story on every single new game that hits the App Store.
These games have recently hit Apple's New Zealand outlet, meaning they should be available to download in the UK and US from around midnight this evening.

Set in a post-apocalyptic world, TheEndApp tasks you with sprinting through hazard-filled streets in order to collect duct tape and any other supplies you need to keep your survival camp up and running.
