iPhone games (also Ipod Tooch/iPad games too)

geared/geared 2 is free
gameloft/ea a bunch of others are doing 99 cent sales

so I have been playing Grand Prix Story

its just like every Kairosoft game ever and it is good but also disappointing

World of Goo (universal iOS, so ipads and iphones) is US$0.99. BUY IT

I still need to play that one. It's on my phone but I haven't started it yet.

how irritating is that to control on tiny iphone screen?

Pretty bad. I also have it on my ipad. :)

Cross Fingers is a deece sliding puzzle game, free right now.

Oregon Trail also free right now (slash fremium).

Oregon Trail is fremium? lol

Johnny will die of dysentery... unless you buy the cure for 2 Trail Bux

Scribblenauts for iOS is awesome

O_O i had no idea that made it to iOS

Getting a surprising amount of pleasure out of Settlers on iPhone.

Downside of Scribblenauts is that it is very short.

^^^^^ this

ooooh, also greed corp and wizardry just came out!

what +what!

Both from Touch Arcade:

"Simply put, Wizardry is just a hardcore game. Check it out on iOS, and you will find it is almost exactly like the PS3 version, with two small differences -- it's Game Center enabled, and the lovely detail of the art is more or less lost on the iPhone's tiny screen. I think the game would be much more enjoyable on the iPad if you chose to get it for a portable device, but if you had access to all options, PS3 would be the way to go. It's clear lots of attention and effort was put into the art, and it's a shame to see it all tiny and squished up on a little screen."

"Greed Corp is a turn-based strategy game that encourages players to engage in something one step shy of mutually assured destruction. You destroy the lands you harvest, and firing on your enemies crumbles away the ground beneath them.You win as long as you have at least a single unit on a single hex and your enemies don't. This brutally aggressive game first made its debut on Xbox Live Arcade and the Playstation Network in the early months of 2010, but it's hardly aged in the time it's taken to arrive on iPad. It's also extremely well done for the most part, offering a natural touch interface and both single and multiplayer content."

greed corp looks like my kinda thing, is it good guys?

i liked the 360 demo tho i never bought; seems like a really good fit for ipad.

Scribblenauts is 99c! Maybe I'll check this out.

Yeah, there's a lot of stuff on sale this weekend:

tempted to get SF Volt, scribblenauts... anyone play countre jour or shadowgun?

no, but i bought em both

contre jour is pretty nice

updated rosters for 9 innings 2011, too bad i hate the red sox now

temple run is addiiiiiiiictive

Is bumpy road really this basic? Like two levels, period? Also this is really tricky to play and the side scrolling is so aggravating!

weren't you guys playing that 1000 heroes game? it's free today.

too bad it really isn't very good

fun in the beginning, but got very tedious very quickly

Once the new age started I was like "oh, this is all they're adding? how lame" and then they started having pop up ads all over it and I was like "delete"

That said I played it every day for like a hundred days.

Temple Run is so goddamn great. hard to play in the sun though.

also KING CASHING OMG OMG OMG; it's like Slingo meets Puzzle Quest.

WELDER is a pretty good word game. Boggle meets Bejeweled?

I think I've reached to point in temple run where I've done. About the best I can do.

never say that!

I broke just 400k on temple run; this game rulz

My high is 990,000, 2627 coins.

the only prob with temple run is it should show you how much you've run as a running tally. (no pun intended).

also, the fact that there are three score variables (distance, points and coins) seems... inelegant.

my highest score on Temple Run is like 200k. last week I introduced a couple of buddies at work to it; yesterday one of them announced that they'd had a 660k run and had already unlocked all of the alternate costumes. damn kids and their vidya gaming prowess.

I don't have any games on my ipad yet. What's the most fun and, err, easiest.

also I went on a bit of a spree last night; quick rundown on what I got:

- King Cashing: unfuckingbelievable. as mentioned above, it's basically Slingo + RPG character development. I can see myself sinking a LOT of time into this one.
- Disc Drivin': aka Shuffleboard With Friends. love it to death so far although it's kind of irritating how it takes longer to send your moves than it does to actually make them.
- King of Dragon Pass: apparently a combination of choose your own adventure stories and Civilization's political mechanics. I need to dive into this deeper (especially since it cost ten fkn bux COME ON) but what I've played so far is pretty cool.
- Poker Pals: refuses to open :( apparently I need to update to iOS 5, but seeing as how I can't function without jailbreaking functionality (primarily SBSettings, BrowserChanger, and BiteSMS) I'll just have to pass for now.
- WELDER: haven't really gotten a chance to try this out yet. Bejeweled + Boggle sounds like a pretty deadly combination, though.
- Jetpack Joyride: the actual game mechanic of using the jetpack is kind of meh, but I loooooooove the micro-rewards structure (especially the last-chance roulette wheel).

really curious to hear your thoughts on king of dragon pass; I've been very sorely tempted
jetpack is great for two minute jags.

like I said I'm still very early on in the experience, but it's VERY text-heavy so far - almost like an interactive storybook w/ tons of affectable outcomes - but despite my unyielding antipathy for game stories it's pretty neat. the diplomacy parts are pretty cool, though - very Civ Lite, and since I've always had a soft spot for Civ's diplomatic stuff it's a big win IMO. of course I really probably need to play through it a couple of times since I would imagine that the big hook is seeing how things play out through multiple gameplay iterations; thankfully I ride the bus in Los Angeles so time is something I'm hardly short on.

sux that there's no iPad version, though. they're supposedly going to release one later this month; I *really* hope that it's a universal upgrade rather than a

I played a bit of greed corp. It looks like a Risk-like game with some cool twists.
