Apple App Store Adds Hardcore Games to App Store Essentials

While Microsoft is trying to save face with their upcoming launch of Kinect, and how it relates to hardcore gamers out there, Apple is apparently vying to make their name known amidst the crowd. Sure, their titles are far more “mobile” than, say, Microsoft’s, but that doesn’t make the gamers any less hardcore. Today, Apple officially unveiled their new “Hardcore Games” section within App Store Essentials. And, as you can tell from the picture above, it’s pretty hardcore.

Titles you’ll find in there range, but you should find some familiar ones like Space Invaders Infinity Gene, Chaos Rings, and Archetype. The prices don’t seem to have changed much, though. Any hardcore gamers out there feel like this section was absolutely needed to get your favorite games their own showcase area?

And even the iPhone app developers are focusing to keep the prices as low as possible on the App Store encouraging gamers to buy more games from there . While we have also seen in the past that the price factor has also played a major role in the gaming industry lets hope we get to see the same spirit with the Microsoft guys .
