Inspired by singer-songwriter Jimmy Buffett, THQ’s Margaritaville Online is now available on Facebook and iPad. The game invites players to escape to the laid back tropical paradise where margaritas are a plenty, music is chill and adventure is guaranteed. The point of the game is for the player to build their ideal oasis while partying with friends and turning their experience from a game into a lifestyle.

Featuring an immersive 3D world and hits from Buffett himself, players are encouraged to leave their cares behind. And yes, there are frozen concoctions to serve up to friends from the player’s personal island beach bar. Beyond the adult beverages, players can explore all the island has to offer such as meeting and interactive with the natives, finding forgotten treasure, sailing boats and playing mini-games. Basically, the game is all about relaxing and enjoying the sun, surf and sand with a drink in one hand and a six-string in the other. Finding the lost shaker of salt is just a bonus and not required. The game is free to play with optional in-game premium items

FREE!

Updated 2:30pm: Whoops! Looks like we made a mistake. THQ are not involved with this iOS app, it’s coming directly from Jellyvision. Post updated.

There is just something about quiz games that tickle my fancy something fierce.  Since the days of PC gaming there has been one franchise that did the fake quiz show better than any other, and that was the Jellyvision classic, You Don’t Know Jack.  The combination of dirty jokes and clever wordplay kept me coming back for round after verbally abusive round.  It didn’t hurt that I was awesome at it, either!

Well now there is plenty of reason to be excited, because fresh off of recently reviving the franchise on consoles, THQ Jellyvision is announcing that the title will be making its way to the iPhone and iPad very soon.  We do not have an exact date to pin on the release yet, but stay tuned, because as soon as we know, you will too.  Keep it locked here for any updates and take a little time to bone up on your pop culture wisdom.  You will be needing it very soon!

We first told you about the Battle for Hoth in an early preview back in May. The long wait for Star Wars: The Battle For Hoth is over, as it is now available on the App Store for the iPhone and iPod Touch for $2.99.

“Just in time for the 30th anniversary celebration of The Empire Strikes Back, Star Wars: The Battle for Hoth offers an exciting, strategic gaming experience for fans of the original Star Wars series,” said Adam Comiskey, Vice President, THQ Wireless.

The Battle For Hoth is a Star Wars based tower defense game that puts you in defense of the Echo Base’s defenses, recreating the classic opening sequence of The Empire Strikes Back. In the game, you control the Rebel forces in a battle against the invading Imperial forces and their now iconic AT-AT walkers. With 15 levels to play and two gameplay modes, along with numerous weapons and units, such as ion cannons, snowspeeders, X-Wings, and gun towers, there should be plenty to keep anyone entertained, Star Wars fan or not.

Go on now, hurry up and save the base!
