Perhaps more importantly, it&rsquo;s also commanding a 4 &frac12; star rating aggregate from users, pretty much declaring it the best thing ever.<\/p>\n<p>No, I can&rsquo;t work out how it could be better than <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mygaming.co.za\/news\/reviews\/5705-Robot-Unicorn-Attack.html\" target=\"_blank\">Robot Unicorn Attack<\/a> either, but I guess there&rsquo;s just no accounting for taste.<\/p>\n<p>The game was originally unveiled in September under the codename &ldquo;Project Sword&rdquo;, and subsequently released on the iTunes Store as a free demo dubbed &ldquo;Epic Citadel&rdquo;. It was developed by the guys behind last year&rsquo;s XBLA hit, Shadow Complex. Needless to say, perhaps, but it&rsquo;s kind of amazing looking. I remember when Snake was hot **** on a Nokia 2110.<\/p>\n<p>Infinity Blade is available for the iPad, iPhone 3GS and up, and iPod Touch 3G and up, and tagged at $5.99 \/ &pound;3.49.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Epic\u2019s Unreal Engine 3-powered iPhone game dethrones Angry Birds<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":161,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8969","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-business"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8969","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/161"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8969"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8969\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8969"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8969"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8969"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
