The Google Maps Quest prank got me in the mood. I know SE announced that DQ Monsters Wanted game for iOS/Android but I hope they eventually start porting the normal DQ games to mobile too like they do with FF.
(Edit before someone tries to be funny: by mobile I mean iOS/Android, I'm aware there are DQ games on some Japanese mobile phones)

$100 for creating another dev account is not a huge price to pay when the developers are probably raking in thousands from these scam apps based on popular IP like Pokemon. I don't think it would stop much of anything.

Didn't know about that one, but it's been added to appshopper. Thanks.
There's also The Settlers, although it's a Gameloft game.
Sale? Or is that the new price?
Pretty sure it's a sale
God dammit, my wife is going to kill me. I'm spending our life savings in .99 - $2.99 increments, daily.
First one has just as much grinding. Only thing it has over IB2 is multiplayer (which IB2 should have later this year, I think)...and it's less buggy, lol.
For anyone who has neither game, 99 cents is a great price and recommended

Thanks man, I bought Ghost Stories. I will try it out solo for a bit (like I did with Titan HD) and then bug a couple friends to play a game once I feel like I can help explain how shit works. I think im going to hold off on Forbidden Island, Ive got that Operation Eradicate already, which is very similar, and despite its kinda shitty UI, it seems like a deeper and more interesting game.
I will look into this Elder Sign game too, might be something im interested in.
Fuck this iPad is taking all my money, haha. The 600 for the iPad itself was almost nothing at this point. 75 on leather smart cover, 30 on griffen back protector, 100 bucks on an AppleTV that I never use, and basically bought to try Real Racing 2 on my 50", and now ive spent close to 100 on Apps in less than a month, haha.

i personally got bored of infinity blade on the 4th blood line, it looks amazing still but so repetitive to me.

was looking at the devs blog and man, frowny face at his sales numbers
Fireball SE sales:
http://radiangames.com/blog/?p=1057
Sounds like they tried to get more income by increasing price after a review hit, hoping for a quick buck.
Another problem is that fireball SE sounds like and looks like any other ball game app on the store, you need to be really REALLY original to get more then impulse buys which I bet 90% of those are, most shoppers on the app store are going to look at your logo, maybe the first image which loads on the app page then back out to another app to look at.
yeah, somebody else mentioned the same thing (jacking price to juice the TA review) ...
but he'd actually already announced the pricing plan nearly a week before the review
(http://radiangames.com/blog/?p=1038 );
so the two events were not quite related as first appears
Region? US updates are usually at 8 PM PDT
Australia. I didn't know that there were different update times, my bad.
And Zzoram, it seems pretty safe, and if you link it to Facebook you can look for people to play with in your friends list.

nothing really besides being able to easily play against... 'friends'?
Don't notice any spam on my wall.

Congratulations, you really deserve it!
Ipod touch 4g now seems painfully underpowered after using new ipad. Ipods really need an upgrade

I don't know the port, but if it's anything like the original PC game, then it's awesome. No idea if it's a well-done port though, but the base is solid. From what I remember hearing in here though I think people said that it's good? :/
I love carcassone (played well over 1000 games on XBL) but it's such an exercise in frustration on the iphone playing online. I'll be playing and late in the game my opponent will seemingly run out of time, but turns out it was somehow me and I automatically lose the game.
I mean I am playing over wifi, and am all the way over in korea, but still :/

There's a dedicated leaderboard for it. If you've never killed him, it's 0. Mine's at 350.
I keep meaning to get it but I keep going back to my XBLA copy instead. I think if I let myself start playing it async I'd never get any work done.
quickplay is async too though isn't it?
Where are the Carcassonne amateurs on iPad? After AstroLad gets done kicking my ass I'm going to need someone I can actually play with. 
GameCenter nickname is [Slade]
I have that too. It's always been that price as far as I know, and doesn't go on sale. It's dead simple to learn.

Normal price, never been on sale. It is easier to learn than Carcassonne, good game.
Edit: Most of Gaf seems pretty solid at Carcassonne (at least the people I end up in games with) but with 3-5 player, enough luck is involved that you should be able to do well enou while learning.

I just purchased 2 more $25 itunes giftcards for $40 at Wal-Mart putting me now at $200 in app store credit. I should be good for a while I hope...

There's so many people in the GAF Carc thread. I think I updated the OP list and most of those players are still active (well over a year later
). I'd say 80% are regular but not hardcore players. Just off my list some of the newer players and also old-timers still kicking:AirBrian
awesome animals (new)
bigwinnerx
Darkflight
Diesel Poineer (new I think)
eznark
Gamecocks625 (new)
mikeworks (new)
Proxii (new)
Leaving out at least 20 or so regular players but that's most of the new folks I can remember.
How? Explain.

Thanks joined the games. I'm trying to drag dream into playing so we can get some MMA-GAF games going, hah!
Yep, the update is magnificent (dump those annoying fucking girlfriends!)
Mrs elfinke is keen on adventure games and hidden object style games, and recently discovered Dark Meadow: The Pact. She didn't get far into it, citing it as being too scary (lol). So I've downloaded and started to give it a go and damn is it a decent looker! Another Unreal engined game with some nice textures and solid frame rate. I've not played it enough to know if it is actually a good game or not, but its first impressions on looks alone are good.
