iPhone games (also Ipod Tooch/iPad games too)

For me, considering the limitations of the media (the small screen, the never really perfect control mechanics) I'm not willing to pay $10 for a game, even if it otherwise has the same amount of content as a 360 game that I'd spend much more for.

I was willing to pay 10$ for Carcassonne and Scrabble because I knew that I would play them basically for the rest of my life, considering I already play the board games. It was like buying knives for the kitchen or something. I know I'm never going to get sick of them and they both play very well on the iPad.

I paid 10$ for World of Goo because I have been wanting to play that game forever and the iPad seemed like a good way to play it. But for the most part I am not willing to shell out more than a buck or two for casual games, and usually am more than happy to just dick around with the lite version for free.

I don't feel bad for any 99 cent game I buy, even if I play it for 5 seconds and immediate hate it.

I can feel bad about almost anything. Carefully cultivated skill.

Dudes should really give soosiz a shot before balloting for coint an plick btw

I bought Game Dev Story for 59p today so am more than satisfied at that price. Would easily have paid more.

Yeah, from all the hype here I bought it on impulse. Then I realized I need to upgrade my iPod Touch firmware. DOH!

I tried playing that SimCity a bit and was like ugh, I need a mouse.

Yeah this, totally (worked out my powerline prob btw, was a default auto-power setting wtf)

No longer available, according to iTunes. :(

has words w/ friends been really buggy and crashy with anyone else?

Arrgh! I was so damn close! So out of like 9 games you are my only loss

Stevie I'm too scared to play you again cos I cant handle another 400-point trouncing :(

Rock band has crap music

Debaser! Cherub Rock! Everlong!

Broken Sword: Director's Cut just gone free. Get get get.

Ledge: none of those are in the iPad store that I can see!

Iam on words with friends and my username is mches. Holler at a thug.

Number Munchers

Ledge: none of those are in the iPad store that I can see!

hm, they came with the iphone version i got many months ago. i can see them changing the default song pack maybe, but removing them from the store is shitty.

Mirror's Edge and Death Worm both free at the moment!

Also Runkeeper Pro is free all January.

^^^not a game but that looks pretty cool.

I use it a bit, but I've got a mate who does loads of road running and he reckons it's the best available on the App store

I use it for biking. Works better than a couple others I've tried.

All of Gameprom's Pinball games are free - Wild West Pinball, The Deep Pinball and Jungle Style Pinball. All are pretty great.

Even on a phone?

100 Rogues is free today for any dungeon crawling fans

...and when you get it, do not hesitate to purchase the Skellyman Scoundrel class. You will not regret it.

I finally managed to download Soosiz and it is indeed a lot of fun.

Also downloaded Minotaur Rescue and could not figure out how to play it, as usual with Llamasoft games. But I like the idea of it.

Guys, I just started getting into Chaos Rings and it is p legitimately a masterpiece. I mean, as far as the amount of time/effort/programming/thought/etc that must have gone into this game; there's a reason it's $13. This is making me remember how much I <3 <3 <3 Square Enix RPGs

Tracking free stuff. Probably another free game on Friday again.

Papa Sangre on sale for $4.99 ...... do I buy it??

Like, I have rly bad hearing and am afraid I'm going to find that I'm too deaf to be able to play it

I bought it but haven't played it yet. Will report anon.

by the makers of Castle Crashers, Super Soviet Missiel Mastar is now a free game for the iPhone (8275km is my high score)

Now 17799km!

Super Soviet Missiel Mastar was a free hidden game in Alien Hominid if I recall correctly.

Capcom, Sega, Namco, and EA (US only) are having a $0.99/59p iOS game sale

oh yeh, link http://www.joystiq.com/2011/02/09/sega-capcom-and-namco-go-iphone-sale-crazy/
any recommendations ie which will not control like ass?

If you don't like virtual controllers then there's not much to like there. Puzzle Quest and Noby Noby are both built for the touch screen I think.

wait isnt phoenix wright supposed to be awesome?

the iPhone NBA Jam is surprisingly excellent! the controls are really smartly laid-out (buttons for shoot, pass, & turbo [which you activate by dragging over to the icon you want to do a turbo version of], and shake the device to spin/juke) and adding portability to NBA Jam's compulsive playability makes up for the lack of multiplayer.

also if you're jailbroken and have an iPad, I strenusouly urge you to drop the $2.50 for RetinaPad since it actually works on games, unlike FullForce.

I'm loving Tiny Wings

Up to 26x multiplier

me too -- working on the 175,000 points objective (did the other two). my high score atm is 158,126

You guys are good! I'm not even close to that.

Island 7 gets me every time. I usually screw up on 6 and that dooms me.

Really, it's crack.

I get so pissed off if I can't hold fever through the first 3 islands.
