iPhone games (also Ipod Tooch/iPad games too)

Osmos is damn cool, but I am still trying to beat those last levels, they get shockingly difficult

holy shit Ticket To Ride iPad!

has some pretty glaring issues appaz

no pass and play, no asynchronous online play seem like big issues to me

Infinity blade is pretty fun after all

TtR is a lot more fast-paced than something like Carcassonne or Words With Friends so I'm fine without asynchronous multiplayer. I do hope pass-and-play gets patched in later though.

other games I bought this weekend:

- Hard 8 (EXCELLENT Drop7-type game)
- Coin Drop (fun little Peggle-esque timewaster)
- Death Rally (used to love this game back in the day. touchscreen controls actually work surprisingly well too!)
- Gears (ordinarily ball-rolling games like Marble Madness fill me with rageful rage but this one works since they made the decision to go with touchscreen controls rather than tilt. looks awful purty too.)

Ooh, is Coin Drop that Peggle-esque? As far as pick-up/put-down timewasters go, nothing does it for me like Peggle.

Coin Drop looked like the old arcade-drop-your-tokens-in moneywaster

Peggle has a depth (tons of levels!) and a replay-value to it (trying to get all the red + blue ribbons on each level!) that keep me still playing it after like 10 months.

Coin Drop has the same type of system - you can finish a level pretty quickly but three-starring every level is a whole new kettle of fish. there's also a decent little set of skill-based microchallenges - drop a coin in every bucket, level-up all the pegs, etc.

Peggle is legitimately one of my favorite games ever so I don't want to go overboard putting Coin Drop in its league, but if you like that sort of gameplay and have an extra buck this game is a very productive way to spend it.

Dungeon raid high scores? How the hell are ppl scoring over 100k on the leader boards?

jeez, my dungeon raid high score's only 31K! although, in my own defense, i only played about 8-9 games, total

I've played 72 games and my high score is just over 8k. Wow, I suck.

just bought heist... it's okay? worth a buck.

guys this looks awesome

What are everyone's favorite word games besides words w friends and moxie?

Does anyone just play regular scrabble instead of wwf?

Been trying AbbleDabble, which has some nice extra stuff like randomly moving bonus tiles and 4 player games, but it lacks the polished iOS feel

try 7 little words; it's free for the first set and pretty great

Anybody wanna do 1000 heroz with me? Looks fun but you need friends to make it interesting
http://toucharcade.com/2011/06/09/1000-heroz-review-every-day-a-new-hero/

It sounds like fun. I bought it. Let's do this!

If it used game centre I'd be in, but I'm done with signing up for 3rd party leaderboard things.

I just played it for a few minutes and the physics are fuxkin terrible

Custom League: ILX

xp ugh bad physics is the reason I have yet to find a remotely playable pinball game :(

pinball fx 2. never look back.

"No Matches" :(

360 + PS3 alas

No idea how u got that score mordy

Ha ha! Now i do!
Floaty physics in this suck but leaderboard fights are fun.

U dont have to sign up for leaderboards

Bam. Beatcha!

hate u

i thought it handled a lot like trials hd. lo and behold -- same company.

currently 31st in the world w/ 15.080sec

Did anyone recently get an email purporting to be from Zynga saying to download a WWF update? It looks hella dodgey, the links are not from zynga.com so I'm guessing it might be some suss phishing thing. Also I dont recall giving WWF my email address but maybe I did?

#6!

the links are not from zynga.com

= this is absolutely a phishing thing

I made that assumption yeah. Also since when did apps email anyone about updates, when the app itself can remind you there are some to get?

Hanging With Friends now out

http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/hanging-with-friends/id440784937?mt=8

Hang Man should be a lot more gory than that.

1000 heroz is VERY trials-y

thinking i'll start a 1000 heroz thread this afternoon and post ILX leaderboard screen shots for posterity. other ppl should def play. it's a lot of fun and the loopy controls are what makes it challenging.

i spent about a half hour last night chasing you

so is nobody playing the earlier runs? Or you just cant' do leaderboard fights once the day passes?

Yeah, you can only do leaderboard fights on the day of -- but you can still earn medals for previous runs.
