Was okay, except the computer player felt it was okay to just make up words.

Ok, grabbed Sims 3 + Mirror's Edge. Any super essential ones? (I don't like the way Madden controls on the iPhone, don't really like racing games, and I think I've played enough SimCity, Tetris, Scrabble, etc on other platforms, don't need them on my iPhone too)

scrabble is free!

not on the ipad :)

get 'geared' while it's still free.

Loving all these tips, just wish iTunes had a usable way of displaying every app you've bought/downloaded.

I really wish they had a feature that organized your apps by frequency of use so it could intuit which apps I want on my front page and which ones i want buried in the back.

Right now, I'm just looking to load up on cheap games to keep me entertained on the flights back east.

someone how to teach me to play mirror's edge, the input sucks

Asked N "why didnt you tell me EA were doing an app store sale?" he says "Oh, I didnt think you'd be interested". o_0

Oh man, I want that to be good SO badly! If it was even 1/10th as good as the original I'd be happy (<possibly a lie). But the little onscreen "buttons" scare me. *bites nails*

I couldn't figure out how to do the ninja wallclimb and gave up. I thought it was pretty intuitive up to that point though.

You just swipe. That's the entire control scheme- swipe up, swipe down, swipe left or right...

You just swipe up right before you hit the wall! And then swipe up again to jump btwn them

Oh I was swiping left to jump backwards.

Chaos Rings just dropped to half price.

Oh damn! I feel eh abt paying $6 for a game but otoh I hear it's totally worth it and prob won't ever be any cheaper.

Hah yeah, last week I bought Sega Mega Drive Collection on disc for $17 but I won't spend $16 on a full modern Square Enix game because it's ON IPHONE.

Then again i got mirrors edge and assassins creed and they were both repetitive and kinda boring. Though they were both on sale for 99c.

Where's Wally cost me $1.19 and is absolute dog shit. I tip that much for coffee in two days but was still hell of annoyed.

All six of these iPhone games are $1, with some proceeds going to charity:

Does not apply to iPad sadly, but I still bought Canabalt, Drop 7, and Solipskier.

Spider is the best iPhone game ever imo.

Final Fantasy just dropped to five bucks. Considering it.

Sounds (literally) facinating.

I don't have any hardware to run it though.

Wow. Dying to see reviews.

aaaaaand there goes Final Fantasy II.

Spider is the best iPhone game ever imo.

Ditto that.

I'm playing Osmos at the moment, which is dreamy and... difficult.

I feel like I am missing something key about Spider because I find it really boring.

Final Fantasy/FFII are worth $5.

yeah spider is duuullllll.

*still* playing trainyard, 2 bonus levels to go, the penultimate one is killing me. been stuck on it for over two weeks.

Oh, oh oh oh. Oh. Spider is *not* dull. Spider is an afternoon spent in an abandoned house, poking through the things the owners left behind, trying to work out what happened to them. The bug-catching is a v. original mechanic for delivering the narrative, and getting really good at it is pretty satisfying, imo, but Spider is really all about the secrets, the puzzles, the story.

WINtA is free, and is by Masaya Matsuura. Haven't tried it yet, got to be worth a go though.

Wow, winta load times are a total joke. Plus it only comes w 1 song and each addtl is 99c

I lost all my trainyard progress when my phone was stolen, and I can't bear to go through it all again...

I got stuck on two Trainyard puzzles a long time ago and gave up, but it was fun while it lasted.

Dudes on the train to the airport and the flight here were playing Angry Birds. I'm still suck on the Christmas levels.

Secret of Mana is live. $9 bucks American.

Much like how people wondered why Wii users were blowing $200 bucks on a console to play old games on it, we have yet another jrpg tidbit:

Downloaded Trainyard earlier today. Just hit 160 stars and this is starting to hurt my brain

Infinity Blade, Carcassonne, Trainyard & Camera+ updates out !

Game Dev Story is on sale!! But... I have so many games to finish before I even think about starting another one... should I/shouldn't I?

You should

Okay now at the last two levels of Trainyard (Cooksville Creek and Machine Gun) and like omg jeez WTF. I can't wrap my brain aroub all of these switches I'm going to have to make. Idk why I can't just have leftover trains runnin around if all te stations have been filled :/

Like ive got most of Cooksville down but the fact that I'm going to have to have the final two trains merge and go into the last station is just like GGAAHHH

I can't do A Barrel Roll or Clown Car either.

This game was great for the spell between too easy and too difficult, but that didn't last all that long.
