iPhone games (also Ipod Tooch/iPad games too)

orbital is pretty fun/frustrating. have made 500 my goal because of Tracer.

i i'd say about 50% of my games hover around 200, 45% i die almost immediately, and 5% are over 300

it needs slow-mo replay on death shots

yes!!

I play a lot of doodle jump.

I've gotten way more than my .99 cents out of it.

angry birds

anyone in this bitch playing We Rule? my username is trdn89 if'n you want a neighbor. same username for Words With Friends if anyone's doing that too.

finally hit 534 on Orbital btw

wondering if Tracer is still beating me

Have worded you, mr cobo.

587

max single shot - 144

the final fantasy ports are p fukken rad imo

wish the controls were better cuz im just loven the chibi looken sprite for my white mage

Addicted to strategery

Is that like risk?

Yeah but stripped right down

what's the poker game jamescobo reps?

after 5 hours, 9 minutes, and 55 seconds of playing orbital in supernova mode, my high score so far is... 108 :\

I'm at 168 after 3hr 45min.

I have Civ:Rev on 3 platforms: 360, DS, & Tooch, & the Tooch version is by far the best---totally fabulous interface, & well-suited to short-ish commutes.

Tooch = iPhone? If you say it's really worth getting I may consider it. Is it a huge battery drain tho?

haha yes, Tooch = iPod touch = iPhone (for the sake of this thread). It's a bit of a drain, yes: but I can get at least 3 hours of play I think? haven't timed it out. It's no worse wrt battery life than the other games I play a lot of (e.g. Catan, Peggle).

Bejeweled seems to suck my battery dry.

Carcassonne is out for the iPhone.

managed to sort out some kind of strategy for orbital, have hit 192, could probably go higher if I didn't have the patience of a 3 year old in setting up my shot. also begging for an option where you get to repeat shots along the same trajectory

what are some other good games? orbital & drop7 getting kind of dull tbh

still stanning for strategery

bunch of vuvuzeela apps on the appstore too

dyao you can basically set up the same trajectory by paying attention to the gridlines

hah I try but being even a little bit off can make your shot go all crazy, especially due to finger-drift when you lift off the screen

(btw think upgrading to RETINA SCREEN might be worth it for orbital fireworks alone)

strategery is OK but Carcassonne may be the best game on the app store.

also Sigma owns if you like match 3s

what's the poker game jamescobo reps?

Sword & Poker?

Which is actually based on poker squares, not poker. Sword and Poker II is out now, btw.

got 497 on orbital yesterday and came here to brag..but then I see tracer has 587 lol

SHIT WHAT I DONE BOUGHT RECENTLY

- 9 Innings 2011 (strong contender for my favorite game on my phone after 2 hours of playing. controls take some getting used to but once they click they're immaculate, and there's an unbelievably addictive baseball-card mechanic to extend the playtime. if you like baseball and don't get this game I impugn your sexual prowess.)

- Secret of Monkey Island 2 (haven't had much time to play it yet but the new controls [think a more refined Broken Sword] are a treat so far)

- Real Racing (got this the day I got my 4 and having only played it on that I have no problems calling it one of the 5 best motion-controlled games I've ever played on any platform)

- Gun Range (kind of fun but got old quickly)

- Espglauda (not really a shooter dude by nature but this is really fun! I can't say I'm playing it like a pro or anything [basically just blasting through the levels] but w/e, blowing shit up is awesome.)

- 100 Rogues (ok but nowhere near worthy of all the pre-release hype. Sword of Fargoal is a way better roguelike.)

- Civilization Revolution (whoever said this game sucks can sit on many dicks)

- Dungeon Scroll (still waiting for Popcap to put Bookworm Adventures on the app store but until then this will have to scratch my killing-things-by-finding-words itch)

- Soccer Superstars (eh)

also Qrank remains the best game on the app store; get it and add me (trdn89)

Civ Rev on this platform is fantastic---dragging units around feels great.

yeah that game is pretty great too. iPhone is maybe the best platform in gaming right now; I looked through my running best-of-2010 list and like half of them are iGames.

whoa! list please? I am pretty much all Civ Rev all the time b/c it is so perfect for commutes.

has anyone here tried Settlers? (not Settlers of Catan) I'm wondering how the interface works, & whether resource development games can work well on the platform.

you mean the Gameloft version of Settlers? I heard there's no free-play mode, just

btw my list as it stands right now (C&P 2010 SPOILERS I guess)

1. Bayonetta, PS3
2. 3D Dot Game Heroes, PS3
3. Yakuza 3, PS3
4. Qrank, iPhone
5. Plants Vs. Zombies, iPhone
6. Carcassonne, iPhone
7. Joe Danger, PSN
8. 9 Innings 2011, iPhone (will probably be much higher by the end of the year)
9. Dark Void Zero, DSiWare
10. Space Miner, iPhone

honorable (iPhone) mentions: Monkey Island 2, Sigma, Dizzypad, Espgaluda 2, Super Quick Hook, Tilt To Live

I keep meaning to start a thread for (proper JRPG by Square Enix) Chaos Rings, it's fantastic.

Audiosurf for iPhone? WANTWANTWANTWANTWANT

Dylan looked into when iPhone OS 3 came out, and it turned out it didn't grant enough access. Maybe it'll change now, assuming he doesn't have some kind of exclusivity thing going on with the Zune version. What I really want is a Mac OS X version, or sequel!

I cannot possibly recommend 9 Innings 2011 emphatically enough; even after a bug with the first update wiped all my progress, I still keep coming back to it. the controls are magnificent once you get used to them, the card-collecting mechanic is unbelievably well-implemented, and thanks to the segmented nature of baseball it's the perfect game to pick up & play for a few innings w/o losing the flow of the game. I'm actually going to use it to try to quit smoking by ducking out for a few innings instead of for a cigarette. A++++++++ would buy again.

Someone made that sweet basketball flash game into an iphone game:

Animal Color Cross

drop7 has taken over my entire life

i wake up and my brain is already playing it

i'm maxing out at like 250,000 now though.. perhaps it is for the best

so Angry Birds is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too addictive

also, Sword and Poker

I thought I figured out the perfect strategy for drop7 and the first time I tried it I got like a 330,000 and I was like "yes!" but subsequent tries have ended in dismal failure so maybe I got lucky
