Jetpack Joyride from Halfbrick Games Launches Next Week

By Daniel Bischoff

So… I guess the game isn't called Machine Gun Jetpack anymore, but that doesn't prevent it from being any more awesome than it already was? C'mon, Halfbrick! What was wrong with Machine Gun Jetpack?! We're going to need some good news to make up for this sudden and disturbing name change!

Oh! Here we go: Jetpack Joyride will be available next week on September 1st and, much like Fruit Ninja before it, will only cost iPhone gamers $1. You know… that's not bad. OK, I can deal. We'll be getting hands-on with Jetpack Joyride at PAX so keep an eye out for our hands-on preview.
