iPhone games (also Ipod Tooch/iPad games too)

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.

I like fragger too. Working my way through the Arctic storm level now.

I'm worried it's going to turn out to be less fun that epic citadel was.

I'll be waiting for some reviews before buying that's for sure.

Oh dear. Imagine if it turns out to be complete shit. Just imagine.

is it a fighting game?

fight fight fight

how do you even play a game like that on iphone

Feature on some of the controls here:

that does sound kinda awesome

goatse not a recognized word ;_;

Galaxy on fire 2 has been awesome so far.

it looks like the iphone version of Dragon's Lair

got suckered into buying zenonia 2 for 2.99

it suuuuuuuuuuuuuucks so far, about 20 minutes in. did anyone else play it and get further in?

the whole Zenonia franchise can get fucked to death with a million dicks

keep forgetting compound words aren't allowed and get blocked from playing NUDEGOATS

it looks like the iphone version of Dragon's Lair

I've been thinking that but hope the gameplay experience changes that preconception.

Gameloft doing an iPhone giveaway Advent Calendar

Driver is free today only.

Another free game a day Advent Calendar

Today's free game is Time Geeks which I happily bought earlier in the year and is brilliant.

is that only in brittania?

nm, i was looking at the gameloft link firstly...

(gameloft's calendar arguably peaked on 12/1?)

also Time Geeks <> free!

I hate Where's Waldo and am not totally in love w Time Geeks buts it's pretty nice for $0.00

"If its not free yet please wait some minutes"

*waits*

Time Geeks is 46388382626193984 times better than the Where's Wally game, which is a pathetic and badly-coded bag of shit.
