I just picked up a game called Swing King. It's kind of like a mix of Angry Birds and Cut the Rope. Loving it so far! Oh yeah, it's free right now.

Awesome news. Game was gorgeous but yeah, the gameplay was abominable.
I'll be interested to hear how this plays now after the update. Anyone have any thoughts?
Fan-fucking-tastic! Great to hear!

Only played it a little bit, very intuitive now, but I still hit the floor more than I'd like. Definitely an improvement though. Still a hard game.

Anyone have a favorite Big 2 game? They all seem to have middling reviews.
FYI, we're piloting a video where we run down the day's notable game launches and price drops in super informal (hopefully) informative form:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aqdne2JuJf8
We blasted through today's 10 games and it was still 17 minutes. Tomorrow we'll be testing an even shorter one where we only show footage of the most top-tier choices.
We're also probably going to test a format where each game gets its own video and they're tied together in a YT playlist, so people can easily jump around.
Anyway, point is, if this is/isn't helpful or valuable let me know.

It won't be. Move your save over with iFunbox between releases.

Not actually that important
Ok, I don't normally visit IGN and I rarely check out iOS games/info but this is pretty cool and something useful that will definitely make me subscribe to the series
Indeed, it's quite cool.
Seems like a good idea, I think some people may find some hidden gems through this that they would otherwise look over
Also, shorten those links in the description
This sounds like a really good idea, whether it be the one video or a playlist. A playlist may be better because then you can set a restriction for each title far easier (say, no video over 30 seconds or whatever) than with one big vid.
But yeah... good thinking! Will definitely subscribe.

Got a 3DS for Xmas so I've been out of the iOS loop for a while now, but I just finished The Room last night and made it up to episode 4 of The Walking Dead. Both games are extremely satisfying.
My question is, are there any other, for lack of a better term, "big" games coming out in the next six months or so?

Ahah, I'm playing the exact same games right now and up to ch4 of TWD myself!
Word of advice, the app has some widely reported nasty bugs, so I suggest to always copying your save on another slot as well.
Also if you like me encounter the "chapter disappeared" bug (Episode 2 went from installed to "GET!") just switch off (completely) your iPad amd then reboot, chapter(s) will magically reappear.
Did you play Ghost Trick, Phoenix Wright, Broken Sword DC, Hector ep1/3, The World Ends With You, Final Fantasy III&IV and other Telltale games already?
So I still can't transfer my save between iPhone and iPad once the regular release is out? Reason enough to quit playing right there.
It comes with a free chapter. You can pay to unlock the rest.
Ah thanks, didn't want to get hooked and then realized its not fully out on her device.
Kingdom rush 2 should be out by the end of spring,
Star wars pinball is coming out in a few weeks.

One of the Real Pinball tables or a new video pinball?
Zen Pinball, I believe.
Great idea, but I'd like to be able to subscribe to a feed of these videos and not the entire IGN channel. Maybe an RSS feed for the website or something?
SW pinball is out next week. Can't wait...I've been hooked on Zen Pinball lately.
Dead Space is just ok, pretty meh aside from the novelty of a game looking and feeling like Dead Space on your phone. Infiltrator, on the other hand, is really great imo. The 'story' is crap but gameplay-wise it's a fantastic shooter with great touch controls. I almost always have it on my phone, I've finished it and I've deleted it several times but I always end up reinstalling it to be able to jump in whenever and try to ace all the level sections, it's great stuff.

I did encounter that very same bug, and it actually made me second-guess whether I truly bought episode 2 or not. I clicked "GET" and then it just magically popped up to "PLAY" with my save luckily still intact. Have people been having trouble with their save files on iOS? I've heard about problems with the XBL version.
I have played Ghost Trick, Phoenix Wright, and TWEWY all back on the DS. I did buy FF Tactics for iPhone since I had never played it before. I also played through Bastion on iPad. I was really interested in Baldur's Gate but I've heard bad things about the controls. Apparently an update was in the works, any idea if that has been released?
BG:EE was updated with much improved touch controls and tons of bug fixes. It's a great ipad title.

I'm on it! Thanks.
That's very helpful, I'd subscribe a playlist of these. I'm guessing short versions would get more views, but I prefer footage in case a game sounds strange, but looks interesting in motion.

It's shit like this that pisses me off about iOS gaming. This happens to me all the time.
Awesome news, can't wait.
It's shit like this that pisses me off about iOS gaming. This happens to me all the time.
Does shit like this ever get fixed retroactively?
I believe it's on Football Manager Handheld 2013 where you can re-sync achievements with a simple button tap.
Chip... something... has a mode that is timerless. But it isn't as chilled as Connectrode though. Love that game.
<3 Simogo. Do we have a price for it yet?
Oh, I just read it'll be $3.99 & the companion app will be free.
Year Walk.
I'm interested to see what the response is. It is a very obtuse game. The polar opposite of Bumpy Road. I didn't have the companion app when I played either, so I'm wondering if that helps you along or merely serves to explain some of the folklore. Regardless, it's a wonderful game without comparison on iOS and is worth $4 simply for the aesthetic.

To amend myself for even mispelling the name of the game I was interested in....
App description (Universal, USD $3.99):
In the old days man tried to catch a glimpse of the future in the strangest of ways.
Experience the ancient Swedish phenomena of year walking through a different kind of first person adventure that blurs the line between two and three dimensions as well as reality and the supernatural.
Venture out into the dark woods where strange creatures roam, on a vision quest set in 19th century Sweden. Solve cryptic puzzles, touch and listen in your search to foresee the future and finally discover if your loved one will love you back.
Mysteries and clues await everywhere in Year Walk, but to fully understand the events that took place on that cold New Year's Eve, you will have to delve deeper than the adventure and lose yourself between fact and fiction.
For the complete Year Walk experience, or if you're curious about the folk lore on which Year Walk is based, we recommend downloading Year Walk Companion, available for free on the App Store.
