I did and i said so in my previous message. I asked here because there might be hidden gems, unnoticed games etc.
The recommendations in the OP are updated as those things come up.
As much as possible at least(!)
That said, how did the Lucid Games' "Jacob Jones adn the Big Foot Mystery" game turn out?

I played literally 15 mins of it yesterday but it seemed very charming and the puzzles were a light and enjoyable fare to start with. I'm def going to give it some more play.

Any interesting games this week?
I would say Poker Night 2 is, it's multiplatform, from Telltale and has great voice acting (Glados, Brock Larson etc...)

I don't know but you and I can both now find out for 69p (or whatever currency you desire).
One week after release, iOS is crazy.
So has anyone done a "cataclysmic purge" of their device?
I have SOOOOOOOOO many games on my device, and honestly I have played but a handful (board games/card games a ton). But I have lots that I downloaded when prices dropped to free when they were on my watch list, or I bought on the cheap. The 64 gigs is almost completely full and I need to do something!

Its been a long two and a half months since my 32GB iPad 2 Wi-Fi got stolen. But I now have my replacement, 32gb iPad 4 Wi-Fi Cellular. Painful wait but at least I got a free upgrade, was not expecting that.
Didn't even know there was a 4th gen, iPad 3 was the latest as far as I knew.

Is Men's Room Mayhem a bit like Flight Control HD?
And has anyone one played Castle Defense HD?

Seems very Kingdom Rush-esque.

I'm in a similar boat. I grab games when free, many of which I've never played, many I've never installed. If I had the willpower, I'd either stop collecting them, or uninstall all but a couple so that I could focus on playing through them.
I haven't really seen much of this, but the little I have intrigues me. Never played Warhammer back in the day but may give this a go. Is it a sort of dungeon exploration game? Something like Space Hulk?

It pretty much looks like Hunters with a Warhammer skin. So - aces.
That's the prologue, then you wake up and its a visceral FPS endless runner.
O Fortuna is playing in my head right now. Fuck yes.

LOL Epic.
If you like it, I think you will like some WHQ music scores, expecially the ones in the main quest dungeons (they are very cool imho).

So Warhammer Quest is $5 for the main game, $3 per DLC, and $1-$100 for gold or whatever depending on how much you want to buy? There's also IAP to unlock additional classes too right?
It looks like a rip-off to me. Given the official Kingdom Rush sequel is due out in mere weeks, I'd just wait for that rather than get burnt out on a cheap clone. They added a ton of content to the original in the last few months, so if you haven't revisited it, there's a bunch of much harder epic levels to go through that will help kill the time until the sequel is out.

Really digging uplink on ipad as well.

I don't think they have already disclosed the expansions and additional characters prices (did they?)
Core game comes (as the original boardgame) with the 4 main characters (Marauder, Grey Wizard, Elf Waywatcher and Dwarf Ironbreaker) and a main quest.
On day one you will have a big expansion and 3 additional characters classes as iaps (likle the miniatures Games Workshop sold in the course of the years, each one has unique skills).
I do not know about gold...I think it will be like Hunters 2.
To be honest I never even watched the gold iaps, nor I can even understand why someone would buy those (as in Hunters 2): the game certainly doesn't require those.
Must be people that want legendary items on level 1 (and they will realize they will die nonetheless).

Not 100% sure, just asking / guessing with what I've seen for now. Getting prepared for all the IAP items that will be in the game, hopefully the character classes are just 99 cents, even if they're $2 each, I guess that's not bad.
So the full game (with expansion) and extra character classes will run around $15 (if those numbers are right $5 + $3 + 3 * $2), and there will still be gold available to purchase. Or maybe all three extra character classes are a single purchase and it will be closer to $10.
On top of the core MQ you get daily random missions as well iirc? adds value at least.
Oh and I took the plunge on Poker Night 2, it's about 480mb installed (nice that it does not double like some apps) and runs pretty well on the mini, intro is a big laggy but the gameplay is smooth.
It's a premium title that needs some love, since it's a multiplatform with stellar voice work. Glados as the dealer is truly inspired.

Ah I see.
Well...I'm ok with people throwing money to Rodeo Games because I'm selfish, I want them to be rich and publish many more expansions for Warhammer Quest (NDA or not, it's pretty clear I love the game)
Still...and I'm talking about my boardgame experience first and foremost...usually everyone has his preferences when it comes to characters....you aren't really required to buy them all...expecially when you levelled up 4 and played some main quests.
They play pretty differently...I'll buy them all just because I love the game and I feel it's value it's much higher than the one asked, but I won't use them all.
To be honest, I love the initial 4 characters and when I'll get the final game, I plan to complete (again) the game+expansion with them.
I'm waiting first and foremost for new expansions now, but I will buy asap the Bretonnian Knight and the Witchhunter if Rodeo will make those avaible.

the actual poker is kinda shitty with really unbelievable ai at times. It's only worth getting for the free hats and costumes for tf2 and borderlands... which i don't think are in the ios version.
There are better poket games on ios imo :/
What would those be? I don't have any good poker games on my phone outside of Poker Rush, which is more of a puzzle game.
Our new game Regular Show: Best Park In The Universe is being released today.
Its a beat em up with XP leveling and that kind of stuff and NO VIRTUAL STICKS!
We plan to support it after release ... * wink wink * Free updates * wink wink *
Be sure to try it you like the show!
EDIT: Misc (Or any other mod) let me know if im breaking the rules.
EDIT2: Game feedback is always welcome too! Even if you hate it.

Really? not noticed tbh, I love the atmosphere though and am pretty green at poker.
I haven't played Hunters or Hunters 2, is it worth trying either of those or should I just give Warhammer a go next week?

If you love sci-fi, I would suggest to skip Hunters 1 and get directly Hunters 2.
Warhammer Quest, while sharing certain similar mechanics plays a tad differently and it's fantasy of course (it's a much bigger and more complete game too imho).
In reality it would be fairer saying that Hunters 1 and 2 share some similar mechanics to the Warhammer Quest boardgame, as the videogame of course does.
I like sci-fi, but if WQ is the bigger and better game then I don't mind that. I've been enjoying Talisman and Sorcery so have no aversion to the fantasy genre. I'll hold out and try that when it's released next week then. I assume it'll work on either iphone 4 or ipad 2?

I think I may need to try the uninstall aspect. I do know once they are off the iPad, chances are they will never come back on. But this more than anything causes analysis paralysis which stops me from even playing sometimes. As silly as that sounds ....
I'm gonna try it over the weekend. It's aesthetically attractive and supposedly has the best touch controls for a Tetris game to date, but like Bejeweled Blitz it seems big on IAP-supported boosters. Obviously you can still play without them, but in a score attack game it kinda sucks to feel limited without dropping cash.

Looks great.
Cool...although it looks very LoE 2 which was nowhere near as much fun as 1. Hopefully they reach a nice compromise.

I just think LoE 2 was too easy. Hopefully they bring it back to original's level of difficulty.

I can't help but think that $5 each would be a more appropriate (and lucrative) strategy for the platform.
It's a free app, with IAP to unlock the episodes. The first two cases in the first game are free, the other 3 cases are $5.99, and the other two games are $6.99 each, with an option to buy all of them for $16.99.

the games are so good and LONG that I find that a good price.

Yeah that is a big part of it. I think the bigger sprites took away a bit from the control too...just didn't feel quite as tight.
I'll certainly be giving it a go though.
