I agree! I'm loving QuizUp so much. Have been looking for a really good trivia game, and was getting tired of Ludia's energy crap they shoehorn into every game.
iOS Gaming November 2013: Runs in 1136x640 / 2048x1536 natively, no up-scaling needed

bought a white 16gb mini retina. gorgeous screen. need to find some games that i had issues running on mini 1st gen and are ipad only.
Isn't ravenmark mercenaries the multiplayer version of the game? I wasn't even aware it had a story. Have you played ravenmark: scourge of estellion?

Not actually that important
Nope, that was it. Success, and game beaten
Now she wants to get the achievements, lol like I remember where all the white thingie are.
Anyway, no spoilers here of course, Limbo's ending never jived with me, I understand what they were trying to accomplish but I just think it falls short of the game's atmosphere and has nothing going for it besides "hey let's talk about what it can possibly mean".
We now know the A7 is running at 1.3 GHz in the mini, same as in the iPhone 5s. Air is 1.4 GHz.
I need a quick yes or no for Transport Tycoon from the iOSGAF. Was dead set on getting it but the AppStore reviews are less than favorable so I held off. Yes? No? No? Yes?
The challenge missions are where the game gets really challenging and you don't get to use heroes for those...there's really no point in buying them.

War of the Zombies is free right now. I think a gaffer was asking about it earlier in this thread. Now's your chance to try it!

Maybe I'm blind and missed it, but I can't believe noone mentioned that Tilt To Live 2 is coming out Thursday.
http://onemanleft.com/games/tilttolive2/
If you haven't played the first one, you really should. Still one of the best iPhone games ever.

iPad only, isn't it
EDIT: Silly me, I didn't read the thing, iPad time exclusive, so eager to play this, so pretty
You're playing the wrong Ravenmark. Play the single-player version (Scourge of Estelion)

Definitely looks like a Tapsonic/O2Jam/DJMAX Ray clone with artsy-fartsy story elements. I hope they at least bothered to sync the music properly this time. Cytus is still an unplayable mess to this day.
It's out now, $1.99 universal. A quick scan through the Facebook page they set up for it had a video message from Nobuo Uematsu among their posts - I didn't really have much time to look into it, but does that mean he did a song for the game?

I can't believe Oceanhorn is finally coming out today.
I agree-it was great. I backed up my save with iFunbox just in case, but I did delete it. I'm assuming the Room 2 will be a new app entirely-I can't say the same for The Walking Dead season 2.

Tonight's OP haul:
Want impressions for the OP!
Want impressions for the OP!
-----------------
Adding to that, here are a few more titles coming out tonight that I think might be worth while
(linking straight to TA as I'm on mobile and they have info compiled)
Stealth Inc (Universal app By Curve Digital Games) - This looks absolutely fantastic, just check the trailer!
Epoch 2 (Universal app By Uppercut Games) - I never really got into the first one personally, do we have any huge Epoch fans here?
The Rivers of Alice (Universal app By Delirium Studios) - A marvelous looking graphic adventure, with music that reminds me of Sigur Ros.

It's fantastic. Well the PC and PS3 versions are, don't know how the touch controls will play out. If N or SMB mixed with puzzles and Splinter Cell, you'd get something like Stealth Inc. (I still think Stealth Bastard is the better name)
I might check Stealth Inc. Out...

I like what I see but I don't know how do I feel about Oceanhorn being the most blatant copy of a famous game series I've ever seen. It's not even Gameloft level of obnoxious - it's far worse. From the simplistic story set up, switch puzzles, combat, enemies (oh hai chu chu
), art direction, heck even Zelda-ish jingle when you solve the puzzle and that Nordic-esque mural telling the legendary story of... wait, a legendary kingdom? The game hardly tries to be any different. Now if it would be 20 hours long, and have *actual* Legend of Zelda-kind-of-good dungeons, 9 dollars for a different "skin" and no iconic characters is actually a very decent deal. But I doubt it will be. Still, knowing myself I'll probably check it out soon anyway I just feel very confused about this game at this stage. Whoever picked it up, share the impressions but preferably longer than after first 20 minutes!

So I've played the first 10 mins or so of Oceanhorn and I tell you guy, we have a winner on our hands.
It looks, sounds and controls great. Very polished and very smart.
Impressions...
This is definitely a game you will want headphones for.

Right away it starts off rainy and moody (as it was in A Link to the Past) and has great track by Nobuo Uematsu.
I was surprised to find it has some voice acting during key scenes which was nice.

Which is odd for me to say because I almost never play iOS games that require sound.
Then it just gets right in to letting you play. The movement is really responsive and combat so far has been fun. It really captures (copies?) Zelda well. I can't wait to play more at lunch.

Super hexagon is 66% off.
I'm not convinced I'm even playing real players in Quiz Up, and I'll show you why:
Just going off my firm grasp on the sport of mixed martials, I can say without a shadow of a doubt that I'm not playing with a real human. I find it extremely hard to believe that I'm consistently playing someone who has never played the category and knows quickly off the top of their head that UFC midcarder Takeya Mizugaki has a college degree in electrical engineering, Kazushi Sakuraba's catchwrestling mentor, and that in 1996 Cal Worsham broke 3 ribs and punctured his lung.
I'm calling bullshit. At least in an obscure and not mainstream category such as this one. dream, play a few rounds in the mixed martial category and tell these gentlemen they've been had.

So, Oceanhorn. Almost 2 hours in... I like it. It's pretty much a Zelda clone (it's indeed pretty shameless sometimes) but it's decent, I'm having fun with it. Probably more than I did with PH and ST. Navigation is more Phantom Hourglass than Wind Waker.
Tip: block just before an enemy attack and it will bounce, giving you an opening. The visual cue is very subtle (animation is not hot in this game) so I discovered this by accident. Some enemies like ogres will block you, so it's usefull to know,
I say give it a try if you don't have a 3DS to play the new Zelda.

I'm in total agreement, friend.

So far I like this more than Real Racing 3. It looks and runs better on my iPhone 5S than RR3 too. The graphics are really good. Menu layout is nice and easy to get around. Negative, I don't think it has a lot of real tracks. It does have Laguna Seca, and it is nicely modeled.
Downloaded Stealth Bastard/Stealth Inc. and played through the first set of levels.
I was always a big fan of the Desktop version (I played some of it on my Mac), and wanted a portable version. Good news is it's a pretty faithful port. If you want to know about the base game, just look up reviews for that version and that should suffice,
One thing that I'm not a great fan of in the iOS version is the "floating" movement controls. The movement is controlled by basing wherever you put your left finger down as the center point if a virtual analog stick. For most analog games, I can see the reasoning behind this, but playing this previously on my Mac with a keyboard, I'd actually prefer a more digital d-pad or at least the option for one.
My issue with the floating analog pad is that, with my ipad, to go left you have to drag left, which means that many times, I find my thumb running off into the black bezel and bringing me to a grinding halt.
Otherwise, still love the base game. Great music and graphics, fun mechanics, but some odd control decisions.

The problem with Quiz Up is that the questions repeat FAST. And maybe there's no way around that early on, but it'd be nice if they filtered out questions you've already encountered.
PikPok just released our latest game Halos Fun for iOS and Android, the first of two games from us for November.
Bit of a mix of Angry Birds and Peggle with a smidgeon of platforming.
Free to download, no IAP, no ads (well, aside from being tied into a new fruit brand).

That's awesome, see, Dana isn't so beta after all, he is right that the sport is growing, so fast in fact that even random people know everything there is to know about the history of the sport.
Right?
Yeah especially the flag. I was going to go for the 1st place on the global ranking last weekend (little point now since people seemingly either play it 24/7 or they pay for extra exp) but I can't see much fun in getting perfect score after perfect score. I could call out the name of the country before the selection even appeared. I suppose there's a limited list of flags anyway, but for the other sections I'd say they will be expanded eventually.
As for the non human players... I don't know. They must be really good at emulating this so.
I am having no issues with it, you can just rock your thumb left / right and it still works, the developer said as much on TA forums and when I tried it it worked.
I'm going to throw my weight in with the QuizUp "the players aren't real" crowd, but for a different reason. I've been playing pretty much exclusively in the Futurama category, and I'd say that 19 times out of 20 I play against someone who just randomly hits answers without having a clue. Almost all the people I'm playing against get maybe 1 question right. I don't see how people can pick this category and then constantly get them all wrong. Just now I had two questions with essentially the same answer ("Who owns half of Mars" and then "Who is heiress to half of Mars") and despite being basically given the answer to the second question after the first one my opponent still got it wrong. I can't be playing against only idiots, can I?
Plus I'm always shown as a "beginner" despite being at level 14. Annoying!

You have to change your title yourself in the profile section in settings.
Do you read comic books and/or magazines? Then get the Air. Otherwise, get the Mini, especially if you value portability.
