Just saw this new release:

http://appshopper.com/games/michael-schachts-web-of-power-card-game-the-duel

Looks like a Card/Boardgame with a historic setting??? Definitely sounds great to me, but I don't know anything about it... Is it a port from a real-life game? Does anyone know anything about it? :p
It's based on Richelieu which is on Boardgamegeek if you want to check out rules and reviews. You can also play it on Yucata.de

I didn't fall in love with it on Yucata when I tried it but horses for courses etc. might be more fun in person rather than on the internet. I'd recommend Carcassonne if you haven't got it already.
 
This is why I don't sync with iTunes. I'm iCloud only now and have restored an iPhone and an iPad flawlessly.

As of tonight, so am I... But I wonder what this means if I find I want to sync music or videos later. Can these be synced separately from apps?

Won't be finding out anytime soon since I uninstalled iTunes in rage. Hope I didn't have to deauthorize it first.
 
So, pinball, whats this thing got? I have zen pinball, which is from the guys who did Marvel pinball right? I liked those tables

I also have Age of Pinball and got the Vampire Table when it was free as a separate app. Is there a way to get that table in Age of Pinball and delete the vampire table app

If you have an iPad 2/3 or iPhone 4/4S, Pinball Arcade is king. You can try out all the tables for free too.
 
I played Async Corp a lot when it came out (and posted about it here a few times). It was recently updated with Game Center support and I've started to play it again, totally falling in love with it (again), so I felt I needed to share my enthusiasm with you guys.

It might actually be the best iPhone game ever (close call with Sworcery, but they are very different games). It's definitely the best puzzle game on the platform, no doubt.
You really need to play this.

Also, the game was nominated for best mobile game in the IGF - we ended up winning with BSB (yay!), but I would be very ok with Async winning - it's so freaking clever.
 
Async Corp still isn't universal? I've not played it for a while but I'm pretty sure it wasn't native for the iPad. A big shame.
 
I've had iOS devices for nearly 3 years now I think and still don't really know how iTunes works. When I got my 4S last year, I backed up my 3GS on iTunes, and then when I restored my 4S from the back-up and re-installed my games, my save data was all there. I did the exact same thing when moving from iPad 2 to new iPad last week, and none of my save data is on there. Wtf?

I don't know how this update was made, but there's a pretty sad story behind Async Corp - Basically the team got laid off right after its release :( so I'm not sure how likely a universal update is - I don't know if i'd want to play this on iPad anyway, this should definitely be played on iPhone for dual thumb wielding excellence.

Yeah, it's definitely my favorite puzzle game on there. I also love that song that plays the whole time. It always gets stuck in my head.

Oh, I read an article on Indie Games about an unreleased game you guys made called Punk Retro Game. Looks really interesting. Shame it'll never come out :-(

How many people here actually use freemyapps? I feel like it's not worth having all that crap attached to my account in the cloud now.
 
Superbrothers is on sale for $0.99/$1.99 (micro/universal), today only.

Ever since I got my iPad I've been coming to this thread to see if Superbrothers is on sale. As I was scrolling down I was actually thinking "yeah right, like it's gonna happen today". Lo and behold, here it is :D Thanks man!
 
I bought the Regular Show Nightmare-athon game for 99 cents. It's the same as the Flash browser version but with tilt to move rather than mouse hover. Pretty difficult for this but I love Regular Show.

Thinking about getting Catan HD for local pass and play. the reviews report constant crashes, is this only if you download the Seafarers expansion? I don't like Seafarers anyway so I don't plan on getting it
 
Went a little crazy and got Chaos Rings 2. First one was okayish, let's see how this one fares.

Also, I'm considering buying the Universal version of Superbrothers to play on my iPad, even though I already have the iPhone version, which I still hasn't got around to playing it. Should I do it iOS Gaf?

I say yes! I think the game is much better on the iPad.
 
Moto Heroz is fantastic!

Hope one of the releases tonight is good. I'm probably gonna take a gamble on Swordigo. 2D platforming/action with magic, equipment, and customizable controls from Soosiz dev.
 
Battleloot Adventure is pretty cool so far, but I'm not sure why a game that seems so focused on loot would just have a set table of unlockables for each character. It seems so limiting.
 
Huzzah!

Finally managed to fix this stupid error that has kept bugging me since Waking Mars came out:
Intermittently when I would update or purchase another app afterwards this would pop up with +1 to the count of "other apps", then go away and the update/purchase would proceed as normal, only with a very delayed "Waiting" stage of the download. Finally got fed up with it since it was never going away and found a fix that has both removed the error message and has seemingly permanently and reduced the "Waiting" stage of downloads to 0 again as it was when I first got my 4S.

If anyone's interested for the fix it's very simple, involved deleting a app store database cache file via iExplorer. Here's an article explaining it: http://www.blog.gleff.com/2012/03/app-store-unable-to-purchase-fix/
 
A while ago someone here mentioned a new gaming site focusing on mobile that actually had good writers. Does anyone remember the name?
 
Btw when I mentioned that Sky Gamblers AS only has a crappy 10 mission campaign ending in a cliffhanger just when it starts getting serious and then after that just 40 repetitive dogfight missions, a few barebones multiplayer modes (playable in single player too) and a survival mode with increasing enemy waves, that was wrong. There are 100 repetitive dogfight missions. I want to clear it and there's the occasional exciting chase but yeah, there are like a handful of scenarios (yourself against 1, 2, 3, 4 planes, yourself and 2 teammates against 3, 4 planes, etc) repeated to hell and back supposedly with tougher opponents etc.
 
God I really wish midway arcade was available elsewhere, all of those classics put to waste by the shitty control system.
Bring it to live arcade or vita please.
