I don't think it even took 1 for me.

You know, some folks say they've experienced zero issues with the game. Myself, it's been a matter of playing for about 10-20 minutes, and then the game starts to chug until animation completely ceases altogether. Then, it's a matter of restarting and playing another 10-20 minutes at a time. I'm on 3GS, no jailbreak, and I left ample file space on my phone. Now, if I turn the shaders off, the issue seems to go away, but then you lose a ton of background animation (water, clouds, etc.) Other folks on 4 and 4S have reported similar issues.
All that being said, I love the game itself. It's a wonderful RPG, and "Wow!" at the cutscenes -- just lovely.

I agree and once you complete all 4 bonus levels, you'll want to go back to them and compete with times on the leaderboards
iTunes itself? No should be fine.

Looks like there is some kind of iOS Valkyria Chronicles game coming out in Japan:

Kingdom Rush is pretty damn amazing, by far the best TD game that I've played. The people suggesting playing the game on easy mode before going to hard are insane, the difficulty seems near perfect to me on normal. A couple of the snow levels took me a couple tries but I've been able to beat every level without taking a hit. If it's the first strategy game you've ever played (or if you're going to inexpicably play it in some boring way like fully upgrading one single tower, then another, then another like someone suggested doing a couple pages back) easy might be better but I'm really happy with Normal, too many of the popular TD games like The Creeps and PvZ are cakewalks.
I just got to the circular graveyard level and it's the first one really giving me trouble, I might have to forget passing this one with full health. I barely keep it going before the skeleton summoner things show up, and I never have money for cannons to take care of the skeletons (that seems to be what you'd use on them) after spending all my money on archers and wizards to take care of everything else. Is there some way to target a specific enemy? It's really frustrating watching my archers and wizards take out the skeletons one by one, totally ignoring the things summoning them. Tapping on them highlights them with a red circle but it doesn't seem like it makes my towers focus on them.
I'm also wondering if the heroes are worth getting, I've been spending all of my stars on the upgrades and it seems hard to believe that a hero unit is worth the many permanent upgrades you can buy for the 15 points.

Good question!
I've just started playing it and was wondering the same thing. It's worth mentioning that you're not locked in to your choices. You can remove some upgrades and put the stars back into Hero units if you want...or vice versa.
Is it a card or sim type game?

Don't give a flying flip what it is, I must have it!
Free-to-play browser-based card game.
I can't even get that far.... someone please help me figure this out

I noticed Apple finally improved on the updates. Don't have to download the entire app/game again to update it. I like the patching system.
Thanks!
Working on the second land of the dead stage in RJR. Damn, these are hard. Difficulty balance on the main stages seems pretty much perfect so far. These are like the Key Temples in DKCR. Great challenge, although they're starting to annoy me a bit. LOL Great game; definitely worth the $3 asking price, and I'm pretty cheap when it comes to mobile.

Ah, forgot about that, I feel stupid now, going to try a hero unit now and see what they do.
On a related note, how do you get access to the different upgrades? I have a couple of the trees maxed out at this point while the game won't let me purchase past the first few upgrades in others. Also it seems like the upgrades I have are different to the ones I had access to when I started playing the iPhone version.

Eh? I haven't heard of this.
Noticed it too. Updating Galaxy on Fire only took like a minute instead of 30 minutes. Same for IB2. also, NO MORE CONSTANT PASSWORD ENTRY REQUESTS FOR UPDATES. yesss. Definitely the best part about the update. Still doesn't make up for how absolutely shitty apple maps is, though. -.-

I just picked it up, myself. Quite impressive that something that looks like that is running on my iPod.

Folks on iPhone 4 and above report no problems. I have it on my 3GS, and there was slowdown during spell animations -- annoying, but not game-breaking. Oddly enough, however, if you turn off character icons in the menu, it does help alleviate some of the slowdown. The game's perfectly playable, and if you have a more up-to-date device, you'll probably have zero issues.
Huh, is this an iOS 6 feature? (still on 5.1.1)
I have officially purchased an iOS 6 system.
So, I was just wondering when the Chaos Rings series is going to get a special discount.
I really want them
Even when they go on sale they don't really go down that much. Expect something silly like $19.99 ---> $17.99.

Scrabble on iPad, using iPhones as your word tile is pretty awesome to see.

How does that work? Everyone has the game on their phones and then you have the iPad as a bigger reference for everyone? I can't imagine this working in a way that isn't pointless.
The iPad is the game board and the iPhones are the little wooden things that normally hold your letters. Kinda neat, nothing necessary.

Plus you flick the tiles from your phone to the iPad.

Think I paid $5 for the first one last time it was on sale, or something in that neighborhood. Couldn't really get into it.
LOL
Nah, but it's the only comparison I can make. If this old phone can play half these games fairly decent, it should be a good sign for 4 and 4S (and now 5) users. Contemplating upgrading for Christmas, but it will only be to 4S if I do.
I need to start playing Horn but I can't decide whether to play it on phone or pad. Decisions, decisions.
Dude, 3GS to 4S is a PS1 to PS3 style jump. Huuuuuuuge upgrade.
'Only' a 4S?!

October, I think.
I want one, but no street date is annoying.

this show is not Breaking Bad why is it not Breaking Bad? it should be Breaking Bad dammit Breaking Bad
I guess I'll wait until Final Fantasy: Dimensions then. iOS 6 is so much faster than 5, woah. I know deals will come soon, I'll dl other games In the meantime. One thing I noticed coming from the play store is the not so great interface on the App Store. Maybe apple should rethink the design?
Temple Run on iCade is just too much fun for how simple it is.
Horn looks like it'd definitely an iPad game to me. I'm looking forward to playing it as soon as I finish Bastion.
Have you played Bastion btw? It's goddamn awesome. Everyone should play it.

Priority for the 4in retina screens are probably going to the iPhone 5, unfortunately. I'm still glad they are using the same screens, but still...I'll be utterly astounded if I get my iPod touch 5 by mid-October.
Month #2 of no "i" device.

Ha, ha. For me and you both. I just meant I can't afford to jump on the i5 bandwagon. 4S will definitely be a sweet leap for me, no doubt. And honestly, I just don't see how eager developers are going to be to push that new iPhone 5 hardware too hard and still charge a buck for games. I have this feeling 4S should suffice me for a while.

I'm in the same boat. I sold my 4th generation iPod in anticipation for the new one (and got $230 for it too). It drives me crazy without it considering how much I used to use it every day, especially since we have such a vague release date of "October".
