Mass Effect Infiltrator is waaaaay better than Dead Space in terms of gameplay. Its gameplay mechanics are absolutely excellent. Though in terms of levels it is somewhat simplistic and repetitive (though more varied than Dead Space) and in terms of story and story-telling it's a joke (which is sad since it's supposed to be Mass Effect). But if you really dig Mass Effect games' combat and you want something you can up your galactic readiness with on the go, this game is *awesome*. I'm having a lot of fun with the flow of the combat in this and I'm actually on my second playthrough. Dead Space, on the other hand, was never really engaging to me gameplay-wise.

I had hoped Spellsword was going to be a cool mix between scrabble and RPG.

Yeah I agree with the gameplay bit for sure. It's easily the best shooter controls I've seen on iOS. I just wish they'd kept it fresh by not having it be so repetitive. Great systems though.
Yes we can. We can also talk about how much we need an Every Extend game for iOS

That's basically turning an iOS handheld into what the Apple TV should be, an app enabled iOS TV hub. It's an awesome idea but a little expensive for me to invest in, good luck to them though.
I may as well recommend something while I'm here. I've been playing Billy's Gang Slot for a while, it's a casino slot machine with brief minigames and nice graphics of Dick Tracy-esque gangster animals.

Like others said, jailbreaking and talking about it is fine. Piracy, of course, is not. Talking about emulators is fine, too.
And, yes, you can access anything and everything normally when you're jailbroken.
If you're ever stuck or have any specific questions, feel free to ask them here. I sift through this thread at least once a day, and I'm happy to help anyone who needs it.
Jailbreaking is very safe, and does not void your warranty in any way. (Just don't take your jailbroken device to the apple store - remove the jailbreak if you're going to do that.)

Hey guys, i had an IPhone 4 for a while now. I don't have so many games on it. If you have any recommendations, i would love to try. I don't like action and racing games with touch screen controls. So slow paced genres (adventure, strategy, rpg) are more suitable to me than the other genres. So what should i play? Also i love old adventure games like Monkey Island, Broken Sword, etc. but i don't know which of those games are on IOS, please tell me about such old gems as well.
Wow, too many to name. You're in luck though, because adventure games are very popular on iOS.
Here's a small list off the top of my head:
King of Dragon Pass (must-buy)
Osmos
Chaos Rings 2
Squids/Squids 2
Ravenmark
Ghost Trick
Yesterday
Starbase Orion
Amoebattle
The rest of the games on my mind are ipad only.
I know there's a generic KS "gaming" thread somewhere, may be worth posting in that?
It got me thinking about getting a decent controller for the iPhone... Wiimote is only 2-button, Wii Classic is cumbersome due to needing the Wiimote and there's nothing yet for PS3 controllers over bluetooth. And the iControlPad is $80 or something still! Oh, and no 8-Bitty yet either. So shit
i did this once. Dude didn't even notice and still gave me warranty.
Broken Sword and Monkey islan have AWESOME ports, best adventure games on the device. Get them.

I'll be honest, that fast-forward button really makes old JRPGs a lot more playable, IMO.
How so? Isn't the super-unit the only difference between the teams? I haven't put that much time into it, but so far I'm having some success primarily using Runners and Snipers.
Awesome, and thanks - it is so difficult to find intelligent discussion of these kinds of things. (Actually, I think I registered here primarily to find more info from the PSP CFW thread back in the day!) Is there a general "best" way to jailbreak a Verizon iPhone 4S on 5.1.1? I've tried some searching, but most of my initial findings look like they're from sketchy sites made just to skim ad revenue from people searching for jailbreak info.

Though the site seems to currently be down, you're looking for the Absinthe Jailbreak. A quick google search for that will give you the main site as the first result (but again, it's down at the moment).
You can use either a mac or pc. Make sure you make a backup of your device beforehand, though. Either locally, or by making a complete backup on iCloud. There's no risk of bricking your device, but you can definitely temporarily lose data if something goes wrong, which is why it's good to have a backup.
There are guides on that site, but honestly, it's a super easy process. Download the program. Connect your iPhone. When it recognizes your phone, click "Jailbreak" and wait. Sometimes it takes 20 minutes, sometimes it takes 4 hours (depending on how filled your phone is). Just wait. If it somehow does freeze and never move on, first check your phone to see if Cydia actually installed. My jailbreak never officially finished according to the program, but it did properly install Cydia, and everything went well. If stuff seems borked or you have missing data, just reformat your phone, restore the backup, and try again.
Let me know if you need anymore help.

I've just discovered my new favorite genre for the iPad and it's pinball! I just downloaded a couple apps and they work really well. Having the close elongated screen is the closest I've seen electronic pinball gaming get to replicated the pinball feel.
Oh and I have decided magic on iPad is the way to play that game. Tap those cards!

Can't speak to the IAP, but I agree it's shallow and repetitive. I would add slow, too. I can understand the fog of war but I find it makes for a less interesting game. It's really lame watching an enemies turn of nothing happening because it's all behind the fog.
Have gone back to HA. Can't beat the king!
You should give Summoner Wars a try. It's pretty much the game that HA took a lot of ideas from, but the original
awesome boardgame, ported extremely well by the Ascension/Nightfall dev Playdek, DEFINITELY worthy to be nr1 boardgame/async multiplayer game on iOS, right next to Carcassonne. IMHO even better, mostly because the game itself is better than Carc.I hope you've picked up Pinball Arcade. Don't bother with any others, it's the real deal. Just don't waste your time with Ripley's, it's a bit shit. The rest are fine, though!
First of all, what do you think of this incoming iOs game?

Second, some replies:
I Agree completely. Gunman Clive is a very nice game, better if you can use other thing that virtual controls.

Yeah, but compare the default super to the ones on the IAP teams, and it's kind of a joke.
Also add the fact that map design is kinda cheap. I didn't really pay too much attention at first, but after a couple of losses, I noticed certain maps leave your base open on the very edges of the map while blocking access to those areas from the middle of your base. So, basically, if you don't turtle those areas, there's no way to get to them in time should someone rush you from the sides. That kinda tug-of-war gameplay gets old fast for me.

Sweetness! Thanks. Was waiting for it to go on sale, but free will work too, of course.
Going by the screens, am I wrong in saying it's similar to Subterrania on the Megadrive/Genesis?

Does the full IAP of Magic 2013 worth it?
I have enjoyed the demo so far. But 10$ seems a little expensive for me.

Dungeon Raid would have to be pretty light, I'd imagine.

DONT DO IT!
As long as you stay away from 3D games (which tend to heat up the device), you should be fine. Memory intensive 2D games like cave shooters can also drain battery fast.
I imagine kairosoft games would be light on battery life. And king of dragon pass.
Has someone played Skweek? http://www.freshuu.com/skweek/
I loved the original one, and this is a very good (and funny) version.

Yeah. That's a pretty good comparison.
Yes, this. Pretty much everyone in this thread needs to be playing Summoner Wars. Especially if you like Hero Academy and turn-based strategy.You should give Summoner Wars a try. It's pretty much the game that HA took a lot of ideas from, but the original

Anyone knows what the bag number above the items tab is supposed to be? Tried to figure it out by myself but failed.
I'm playing it again today and the ad is now gone. Weird.
Despite the bug it didn't bother me though. It was actually nicely designed lol, it was pixelated in the style of the game and it always showed the same ad (Left2Die, Everplay's new release).
What game is this? Sorry just looks interesting.

Zen Pinball, man.
Some may say that Pinball Arcade feels a bit more realistic, but that game ain't nearly as polished as Zen.
I like that PA has real tables, of course, but playing it feels far less enjoyable for me than something designed from the ground up for digital, like Zen Pinball.
Whatever, though. Get both.

I love the fact that you can now hide purchases in your purchase history. It really is just a giant backlog of games for me at this point.
Like, literally hundreds of games I've never even tried, but have bought/downloaded when free. It's worse than my steam backlog at this point.
