After a long trademark dispute with Tim Langdell, Mobigame's suberb game "EDGE" is back on the App Store. Tim Langdell is the founder of Edge Games. Instead of making games for the past 15 years, he has been making a living by suing any game with the term "edge" in the name, effectively trademarking the word. He made no exception to EDGE, and due to the pending legal action the game was removed for the App Store. The game made a brief reappearance but soon disappeared again. Things took a turn for the better, however, when EA joined the fray. Due to a lawsuit regarding EA's "Mirror's Edge," EA petitioned to have the "Edge" trademark thrown out. Whether EDGE's return is due to EA's interference is unclear, but it certainly seems probable.

EDGE itself is a colorful puzzle/action game in which you move a colorful cube through isometric levels. The graphics are ultra-stylish, the music is killer, and the gameplay is fun and challenging. The overall experience is great and would definitely rank on a list of App Store "classics." There has never been a better time to buy EDGE, as updates of the initial version have brought a hefty amount of new levels, and unfortunately we're not sure how permanent EDGE's stay will be.
