Sling down zip lines, roll through a mine shaft, or simply run. Addictive and fun.

Netflix just released an update today for their iOS app that's not all that surprising, but still welcomed. Here's the update ...
Temple Run 2, the successor to the mega-popular Temple Run game for iOS, has been enjoying a nice run (pun totally intended) since it came out last Thursday. I nabbed it as quickly as I possibly could, and managed to play only about 20 seconds of it before I died. Unfazed, I called my wife and told her, "You gotta download the new Temple Run. It's amazing."
The sequel boasts a major update to the graphics, as well as new gameplay moves enhancements. Not only is it just gorgeous scenery, you're now zipping down ropes and barreling through mine shafts at warp speed, using only your reflexes to keep you from falling to your death. Still, it is repetitive in nature, and if you're not a fan of this "endless runner" genre, you probably won't like this game. I'd still recommend trying it though, if only to see how pretty it is.
Earlier today, fansite
Touch Arcade said the game was celebrating 20 million downloads since it's highly-anticipated launch last week. Not too surprising, considering that the first Temple Run was downloaded more than
2.5 million times on Christmas Day.If you're a fan of Indiana Jones, God of War, Tomb Raider or the Uncharted series, chances are that you'll like this game. If you're like me, chances are even greater that you'll sacrifice food and sleep to get just one more achievement.
