iPhone games (also Ipod Tooch/iPad games too)

^my question also

bought Zen Bound after reading a lot about it but so far I'm struggling to see the attraction (I guess I'm not really looking for Zen wisdom when playing on my iphone in the metro)

xpost... no its not.

It's definitely a baseball game, but with a very fun presentation style, and good touch controls.

i would not advise 9 Innings for non-baseball fans... Angry Birds or Cut The Rope are much better games than 9 Innings but 9 Innings appeals to my awful baseball addiction.

Angry Birds has been awfully laggy since the Game Centre integration.

does everyone have minigore? it's free atm, i don't know how often that is the case. anyway, it's the only action-based game i've played on this thing (my 3g phone) that both controls well and compels me to play regularly

aw mini gore!

Yeah I just grabbed mini gore a few days ago and i dig it so far!

Yeah, the Zen Bound games aren't really suited for train environments. They're more for playing alone at home if you need to unwind after a stressful day at work.

unwind

HIYOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Rage HD is a bit shit really, looks gorgeous but there's no game there. Galaxy On Fire 2 is soaking up increasing amounts of my time, the first few hours are quite annoyingly hard but once you get a bigger ship and a couple of upgrades it all gets a lot more fun.

Preview of Infinity Blade over at IGN

Looks pretty awesome

idg mini gore, what else do you do besides shoot domokun?

yeah its pretty boring

Anyone else playing Words With Friends? It's fun but these ransoms always quit whenever I bingo..

The updates for DoodleGods have been cutely amusing fun. latest one was a kind of RPG theme pack, with wizards and dragons and raiding parties saving a princess and whatnot.

u kno what's pretty fun playing yr entire rack on the first move of a words w/friends game

u kno what's even more fun mauling someone with a 100+ pt lead after being like 100 pts behind the first few turns.

JUST SAYIN.

Also just picked up some apparently highly acclaimed 16-bit throwback RPG called Zenonia for $0.99 (on sale til Monday!), have not tried it yet.

Someone plz notify me immediately if Game Dev Story drops below $4.

Got Zenonia last week when it was free but also haven't played it yet.

If you get the Bargain Bin app you can set notifications for when apps fall below a price of your choosing.

Someone plz notify me immediately if Game Dev Story drops below $4.

on sale for less than four bucks!

Ok, someone plz notify me if Game Dev Story drops below $3.99 sigh

seriously just pull the trigger already, $4 is a small price to pay for something which will have you ignoring everything except breathing in order to focus on it

Totes. Its ridic addictive, and I cant even figure out why! Its like watching soaps. "just one more game then I'll go to bedahhhshit its 3am"

Yeah I already did that with Peggle. Once drank a ton of Four Loko and sat in my friend's basement until 7am. Also am only a bit into Assassin's Creed: Altair's Whatever, and I haven't even started Zenanana yet, so it's more like a "hey if it's cheap I'll pick it up so I can play it in a few weeks or whatever" thing.

Also am I the only one that just simply does not like Angry Birds?

I bought Angry Birds for some reason and regretted it immediately. So joyless.

It feels like every shot is a crapshoot and I'm sure that, you know, you get better at aiming over time or whatever but this game gives me no incentive to continue playing it for that fucking long.

isn't it? i don't know any actual gamers that like it; even casual gamers seem kinda meh on it. It's game for non-gamers.

Angry Birds takes a bit of time to get into, but once you're hooked you can't put down the bloody thing.

I never understood people's hesitation to buy a $1-2 iPhone app. I wait for sales too, of course, but $1.19 is so ridiculously cheap in software terms that you're bound to be up on the deal, even if you only spend 10 minutes using it.

xp I am the gamer who likes Angry Birds, then.

Also got my eye on Chaos Rings except not for $13

Yeah, me too. I can't justify that much for an iphone RPG, despite it being excellent value in relative terms.

otm.

I must say, Angry Birds is the sort of game you play out of compulsion, not necessarily for enjoyment.

yes. i played it a lot for little enjoyment. otoh i have some gamer friends who loooooove it.

do not not not understand the appeal of angry birds

I must be the rare joyless squab that enjoys angry birds and cut the rope more than 9 innings and game dev (which is the most rote management game i've ever played fwiw).

for some reason I have been playing world war. it is how I imagine farmville or some horrible game where there is no actual "game" just like a skinner box to click a button every few hours.

Think it's a bit harsh to condemn Angry Birds for being joyless yet compulsive, there are plenty of non-casual games which share that trait yet are perfectly well respected. I mean, "I hate playing it but can't stop" is the general consensus on Trials HD, right? But nobody claims that's only for non-gamers. Angry Birds is just the same as that, imo.

cut the rope is terrific and also incredibly incredibly frustrating.

It's terrific up to the parts where things are too close together to be able to reliably tap the right one, and the frustration is at the controls rather than your own inability to figure out/pull off a solution.

just dl'd words w friends, I am the400lols

With a cancelled flight from London yesterday, and a 6 hour train journey instead, I treated myself to Game Dev Story. Played it solidly. It may just be Rock Start Ate My Hamster with computer games, but it's soooo good. Seriously, just drop the $4!

21 years and I got a 40 pt game that won the grand prize. may continue on until my company runs the globe.

I am bnwww on words w/ friends. No words or friends presently u_u

I mean, "I hate playing it but can't stop" is the general consensus on Trials HD, right?

Not when you are amazing at it. ^___^

I have been enjoying fragger lately, but am so stuck on level22 of atlantis, it's probably something simple like every other time i've been stumped....

Fuck me if I didn't just go back and do it first time, ridiculous.
