iPhone games (also Ipod Tooch/iPad games too)

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:

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

getting a chain x16 was probably the most exhilarating moment of my life

also these days i feel like i'm just trying to get rid of 6s and 1s

6's are so easy! my foolproof strategy was just to drop every token into columns less than the number but it doesn't work when you're 6 high and you're getting 2's and 1's all the time

i'll have to give 'strategy' a try. i've just been relying on intuition/randomness at this point

dont you just hate it when youve somehow gotten some blanks sectioned off by 1s and you realize that there's nothing you can do to get rid of em?

| 1 1 1
| x x 1
| x x 1

yeah that is pretty much impossible to get through and it happens all the time and it's the reason why I think the game is FLAWED and have devoted all my time to playing 9 innings 2011 (I will hunt you down and eat your children for recommending it, jamescobo)

btw jamescobo how do you work this card collecting system out, like I've won several cards of players from other teams am I just supposed to stick them in my lineup without regard for the rules of how major league baseball actually works?

Carcassonne's internet match thing is so cool.

hah I too have picked up the drop 7/9 innings addiction. I accidentally bought the first 9 innings game at first.. what a turd. =\

so glad you guys are "in deep" with drop7 as i am

imo i am the world's greatest drop7 player

yall play hardcore right?

got a shitload of stuff lately:

- Babo Crash HD went free over the weekend so I said fuq it and grabbed it. if you can get past the branding, it's a pretty good ultra-casual match-3 clone; they included a shitton of powerups so that massive screen-clearing explosions happen all the time. also just think of all the "HOW IS BABBO FORMED" jokes you'll be able to make to yourself!

- TouchArcade flipped out over Fastar and it was only a buck so I gave it a shot. it's boring as hell.

- Pinball HD: a compilation of The Deep and those other 2 pinball games by the same developer w/ retina support & landscape mode. owns so far.

- Osu! - free Ouendan clone w/ a regularly-updated database of user-created tracks accessible from the app. I haven't gotten too into it yet since the lion's share of the songs available are shitty k-pop songs w/ tapping tracks for ultra-super-uber-mega pros, but to reiterate, FREE OUENDAN CLONE W/ A REGULARLY UPDATED DATABASE OF USER-CREATED TRACKS. for jailbreakers only, though.

- Osmos: fun but so very very overrated due to the slightness of the game. if you were one of those people who busted a massive nut over the Bit Generations games then you'll probably love this.

- TunesAttack: this was free and they've apparently already submitted an update to Apple to let them use the songs on your phone's hard drive so I'm waiting until all that happens to get into it. nothing special so far though.

yeah that is pretty much impossible to get through and it happens all the time and it's the reason why I think the game is FLAWED and have devoted all my time to playing 9 innings 2011 (I will hunt you down and eat your children for recommending it, jamescobo)

there is a very real chance that this game will finish in my top 3 for the year. I play it SO FUCKING MUCH.

btw jamescobo how do you work this card collecting system out, like I've won several cards of players from other teams am I just supposed to stick them in my lineup without regard for the rules of how major league baseball actually works?

basically yeah; I guess if you want to be a stickler you could just keep leveling up your original cards, but my Tampa Bay team has zero of their original starting players/2 or 3 original pitchers at this point and I am LOVING LIFE (especially since I somehow managed to draw Ryan Howard and Steven Strasburg). I would have preferred a trading mechanic but oh well, the game's close enough to crack as it is.

also make sure you get the newest update; not only is there a massive make-good effort if you lost your first team in the 1.0.1 update, but it adds LANDSCAPE MODE (!!!)

hardcore drop7 is fun.. also helps hone skillz for normal

funny my top score name is 'ass' because I am mature

wow 9 innings is a lot of fun.

always play hardcore drop7, there is no other way
root out 1s, never let un-blown-ups get above 4, cuz they could be 4s

damn slocki

work horizontally as much as possible

aw guys i went cold turkey on drop7, don't make me go back

work horizontally as much as possible

that's what she said

4 ares really the most deadly

4s are, that is

So re 9 innings, the card situation is really confusing. Are you able to put your cards on your team? How? Or only certain ones? What good are they if you can't put them on your roster?

you go to the 'my cardbox', go to your team, select a card the hit 'change'

I still dunno what all the percentage points do, or what they affect, or why my baseball team has cheerleaders

I thought it was really cute in the tutorial when they selected the teams for an exhibition game and the lady say "we will select the New York A and have them face Philadelphia just like in the 2009 finals"
