Yes, one of the best games on the platform.
Oooh there are extra levels after the campaign? Sounds good. And good to know there's incentive to go back and three star levels.
Freedom = $1.05

So, why didnt anyone tell me that UMK3 is some weird 2.5d remake of the original game and there is no option for the original sprites/backgrounds? It was only $1 but it sucks to play this game with ps2 level 3d instead of the sweet sprites from the original game : /

+1 for redesigning Game Center so that it no longer looks like a bloody Gambling Center. Always irked me.

Just saw that a sequel to Kingdom Rush came out. Amazing! My only complaint is that some of the levels are pretty difficult (almost impossible) even on Casual difficulty.
Yeah the green felt and wood aethetic never did much for me.
New iOS and Game Center look brilliant. I can't wait to get my hands on it this Autumn.
By the way:
Rayman Jungle Run and Lili are for a euro each - you can't go wrong with them for this price.

Any games beside Peggle 2 being announced on iOS?

Jungle Run is brilliant. Isn't there another not-so-good game?
My favs are:

And if you stretch roguelike a little:
-dungeon raid (match3 x roguelike)
Nice. What are your initial thoughts on 7?
Super smooth, feels like I'm using a new phone, or a slick jailbreak skin with tons of new features.
It's currently quite crash prone though and there's some missing animations occasionally (folders just appear when tapped if they're in the dock instead of being zoomed into for example).
The animated/sliding background freaks out all over the place occasionally as well.
I love that folders now have pages (we need to go deeper!) but I'm not sure I like the 3x3 restriction on said pages, looks fucking slick but I liked the larger size of iOS6.

Sounds great. You using a 5 or 4S?
From WWDC Platforms Kickoff (not the keynote), Crytek demonstrates (unannounced?) iPhone game running with game controller.
You should post this in this thread: http://m.neogaf.com/showthread.php?t=581611
Didn't know that ios 7 had a whole new design. Pretty coolA shot of Game Center in iOS 7:
A "turns" tab for all of your games seems really useful. Also, hundreds of games in one folder if you'd like. Though it did seem like a lot of swiping through pages of icons without knowing what's actually in the folder.
This is actually great news, though I doubt Apple will actually bother releasing their own pad, given their attitude towards games (though it seems like it's changing). Logitech would definitely make something nice - I just want something I can take off easily when I'm done playing and maybe has a battery pack.
Finally, that should make some existing games finally fully playable (GTA, Jet Set Radio, all dem virtual joystick games really) and maybe for some exciting game announcements!

On a 5 here.
Game Center is pretty nice looking now.
The bubbles move around a bit and can be tapped to go to the sections directly (think they grow in size depending on what they contain too).
Turns is completely blank at the moment (unsurprisingly), the rest is pretty much white flat whites/blues.

That's pretty cool news, I wonder if they'll make a controller for iPad as well? That would be epic.

Any videos of that Crytek game? I'd love to see that!
The concept showed a standalone controller as well, with shoulder buttons and sticks, it was slimline and curved to fit the hand.

They haven't released the iPad builds yet.
Two types of game controllers supported:
If you have the WWDC app and you register your Apple ID for free developer credentials, you can see the "Platforms State of the Union" video. It is around the 40-45 minute mark if I remember correctly.

Makes my day. Been waiting for this game for a long time. Eclispe will be taking some time off now.

Not actually that important
I hate how iOS 7 looks from the little I've seen (Game Center/AppStore). So lifeless and barren. I'm all for minimalism but it has to b sleek and stylish.
They should have asked Tunesmith to design the freakin' layout/graphical style.

Deus EX THE FALL main campaign takes 6 to 8 hours, it'll cost $5.99
Amoebattle is IMHO the best RTS you'll find for the platform. Also critically acclaimed.
More Starcraft than AoE maybe.
Alright sweet, Ill check it out, I have some extra iTunes credit I have to burn anyways.

I'm thinking of keeping the old GC esque layout for the leaderboard stuff going forward, maybe lift out the felt pattern. Anyway I'm throwing around some ideas.
Gamebook fans should know that Tin Man Games have just released Forest of Doom.
It's not one I particularly remember being a standout in the Final Fantasy series but something that interested me is that they now give an option to revert back to the original book design and artwork. Not sure if they did this before, but it is a big deal for me as a lot of the charm is lost with the horrible artwork that Tin Man use.
So it might be something for Sorcery! fans to try out as they wait for the second part.
Edit: It seems like the classic artwork was available in their earlier conversions. Feel like an idiot for not noticing!

Yeah tbh it is, they improved using things / doors but it's still not perfect and I think Beamdog might have abandoned the iOS port tbh.

It's entirely playable. I did it start to finish pre-patch.

Some more on controllers and iOS7 game changes:

This news is even making me consider if I should invest in a new iPhone (currently 4) or iPad (currently 2) for gaming. I think right now iPad is far better for gaming, but this could change if I could use a controller that fits on the iPhone, as opposed to a wireless controller which I probably wouldn't use as much.
Well, maybe logitech will come up with a fitting type of controller for iPad too.
