Jetpack Joyride Available Now

September 1, 2011

While I'd grown accustomed to Jetpack Joyride's original title, Machine Gun Jetpack, the Apple overlords probably thought the game deserved a slightly friendlier title. It could also have to do with the fact that the game's star, Barry Steakfries, can purchase many different backpacks. It doesn't have to be a machine gun strapped to his back.

It could also be a jetpack that runs on rainbows.

Either way, while you wait for GameRevolution's official review, you should just go ahead and download Jetpack Joyride. It's got a ton of unlockable content, arcade-y replay value, and a jetpack that runs on bullets, the makers of Fruit Ninja seem to know what gamers want on the go. Priced at only $0.99, you can't really go wrong.

Welcome to GameRevolution! If you've got any questions, comments, or concerns, I'll be sure to help you out if you send me a PM.

I attended San Jose State University and graduated in 2010 with a Bachelor's in English and a Minor in Journalism. I've been playing games my whole life and will continue to do so as long as they stay entertaining! Some of my favorite games include Team Fortress 2, Battlefield 3, Star Fox 64, Batman: Arkham City, Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem, Counter-Strike: Source, Super Mario Bros. 3, Kirby's Dream Land, and the list goes on.
