Also, isn't Aralon out right now? Full-on 3d rpg

3pg

Aralon's getting mixed reviews. 30 hours of gameplay but also plenty of bugs. Might wait for an update but it's at an introductory price of £3.99 at the moment.

Sooo tempted to buy this. I presume they're emulating Bethesda games right down to the 'plenty of bugs' thing.

I am downloading basically all of the EA games since many of them are as much as 90% off.

Are any of them good?
― Mordy, Saturday, 18 December 2010 01:28 (thirteen years ago) link
Scrabble, Sim City, Madden, Tetris, Dragon's Lair, Scrabble, Mirror's Edge, Reckless Racing, Need for Speed are all certainly worth 99 cents!

scrabble, so good you listed it twice!

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!

Loving all these tips, just wish iTunes had a usable way of displaying every app you've bought/downloaded.
― I mean Emma Watson Premier League fit (Autumn Almanac), Saturday, 18 December 2010 02:05 (thirteen years ago) link
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.

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
― saturday? thursday? monday? where am I.... (Stevie D(eux)), Monday, 20 December 2010 17:41 (thirteen years ago) link
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.
― Defecate on Myspace (Schlafsack), Tuesday, 21 December 2010 05:27 (thirteen years ago) link
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.

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.
― I mean Emma Watson Premier League fit (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 21 December 2010 06:26 (thirteen years ago) link
Sounds (literally) facinating.

aaaaaand there goes Final Fantasy II.
― I mean Emma Watson Premier League fit (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 21 December 2010 07:16 (thirteen years ago) link
Ditto that.
I'm playing Osmos at the moment, which is dreamy and... difficult.
― Also unknown as Zora (Surfing At Work), Tuesday, 21 December 2010 10:11 (thirteen years ago) link
I feel like I am missing something key about Spider because I find it really boring.
Final Fantasy/FFII are worth $5.

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