We have not one, but two TV/movie-based games in this week’s selection of new, free games from the iOS App Store. Movie games don’t exactly have a sterling reputation, but both games this week (especially the 2D Stranger Things adventure) look to break that mold. But if that’s not enough, you can always search through the archive where there are well over 100 free games to choose from that we covered in previous weeks.
