BANDAI NAMCO Games has brought their popular mobile game, One Piece Treasure Cruise, to the U.S.

The game lets players engage in strategic battles while following the story of the original comic. You'll get to form your own crew from new characters created for the game, and when it comes time for your crew to fight the one-touch tap controls will have you knocking out opponents in no time.

You can download One Piece Treasure Cruise for free on the App Store.

At this point in the month, you or at least a few people you know are probably getting ready to scramble around (or are already scrambling around) for Thanksgiving Dinner. It's a hectic day of precise oven utilization, but there's also the whole family and camaraderie thing.

We've already put together a handy list of useful apps that should make your Thanksgiving a breeze, but what if you want to unwind while staying in the holiday spirit or practice for the insanity that is to come? Well you're in luck, because now we've got a list of a half-dozen iOS games that evoke all sorts of Thanksgiving feelings - both heartwarming and... well, not so heartwarming.

Have you just downloaded the rather enjoyable pirate-em-up Plunder Pirates and are in need of some assistance? Never fear, for we’re here with a few tips and tricks to make your early days as a bloodthirsty pirate a bit easier!

Starting Out

• When you first start, you get the aid of a protective shield for the early moments of your pirating career. Take advantage of it! It won’t be there forever and it’ll cost precious gems to erect a new one. Don’t attack others during this time as your shield will drop.
• Use that safe time to build up your resources. Grog and gold are everything in this game when it comes to getting anywhere.
• The game is pretty generous at dishing out gems early on. Use that plentiful supply to hire a second builder to help you build more things at once.
• Use the remaining gems to start saving towards a third builder. Don’t bother rushing production; it’s just not worth it. Be patient.

HeroCraft has announced that they are working on a new game, called Tempest. It will be a free-to-play pirate RPG, coming out later this year.

Tempest is centered around seizing merchant ships, attacking sea forts, and battling warships. Each ship has different battle tactics and can be customized from the flag to the figurehead. Players will be able to equip their ship with a variety of weapons such as cannons, mortars, and even flame throwers.

There will be quests that require magic artifacts and will pit the player against fearsome foes like the Kraken. If that wasn't enough, you will also be able to play in co-op multiplayer combat. Players on mobile devices and PC owners will be able to play against each other in these exciting sea battles.

So don your best Captain's hat and strap on a parrot, Tempest will be coming out soon for iOS.
