No release date yet but it will probably drop towards the end of this week to sometime next week just before ME3's full retail release.
 
Gah. At work. Will have to wait until I get home to download it. Thank goodness it's a unified app with support for both the iPhone and iPad.

Played it all the way to work on the train. Brilliant game. Like all iOS game its biggest short coming is the touch based controls although Iron Monkey has done a good job of trying to compensate for it. Once in cover you tap the enemy which causes the player to pop out of cover and time to slow slightly, you then use the right thumb to move the reticle, which is already swirling around the target. Game auto fires and while you need to reload there is no ammo count. You can also chain different weapons (so far i've used a rifle and a shotgun) and the player also has access to some biotics, currently only have pull unlocked. Each combat encounter finished with you ranked between Rookie and (top rank I've gotten) Soldier but I have a feeling there is something above that. Also get a star rating out of 3 for Style, Time and Health which rewards with credits to be spent in a as yet undiscovered way. Must be said I splayed for half an hour and only finished the first mission and had to stop.

Will post more when I get a chance to play more.

I must note that I think like most iOS games this would play better on iPad.
