How does that work though? Obviously you can't pick letters off your iPhone screen and place them on the iPad, so I don't see what you mean by using the phones as tile holders. What happens when you actually play a word?

Anyone else notice that the jump button in Rayman appears to be an explosive, bloody diarrhea button if you REALLY look at it?

So you flick a tile and then position it on the iPad? Seems kind of clunky, I guess the convenience of having score kept for you and less clean up would be worth it though.
I think the real convenience is the fact people can't see what letters you have.

Is anyone else playing Layton Brothers: Mystery Room (Japanese only ATM)?
I'm only a couple of cases in but I'm loving it. It's very similar to Phoenix Wright in that you collect evidence and try to find discrepancies in testimony to root out the killer.
According to the website there are 5 cases in total, and based on the length of the first couple it's well worth the 800 yen sale price (and the 1200 yen regular price). More episodes are apparently planned, and hopefully will be similarly priced. I'd recommend this in a heartbeat to anyone who likes Layton and/or Phoenix Wright.

Rayman and The Room seem to be last week's picks. I started the Room last night and it's really really good. Also the reference to Guildford made me chuckle since I work just down the road from there.
You can turn off emeny colours and another effect I can't remember - this makes the game run super slick.
Don't be cheap, buy the game.
I hear that FF Dimensions is not only underwhelming but is also insanely overpriced for what the game is.

Ugh, I hope that gets localized in English.

iPad only though, not sure what you're using. The game reminds me a lot of Myst/7th Guest et al but the puzzles seem to be much less obtuse so far. I'm really impressed. It's like a piece of thread you're pulling from a jumper, unravelling before you.
...
I bought Rayman late last night but have yet to play it. My fingers are itching to get at it. Maybe if I lock my office door and pretend I'm out for a bit?

I love surprises like that. And it happens frequently with iOS games.

Sequel to this: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/monsters-ate-my-condo/id459489208?mt=8
One of my personal favorite puzzle games. I'm assuming it's a sequel and not a rerelease with new stuff.
I'm not sure if this is the right place to post but we've released our first game for the iPhone, it is called The Blops and it is an action oriented match3 game with a little strategy.
Check out the screenshots, trailer and some wallpapers at our website or get it on the AppStore
I hope you like it!

Is this the same game with added IAPs? Thats what the screenshots look like
Delta app updates were added silently in Beta 4 of iOS 6.
Holy shit, yes!

Damn, this might make me give up google maps. I hate having to choose.

Never played MAMC? Dude, I think it went free a while back (might still be). Play it, and you'll understand why a sequel is something to get excited about.
Don't think so. I believe it's a full-fledged sequel.
Do we know the price yet (US)? I've always wanted to play TLE and this would be the perfect opportunity.
That's what I thought as well from the screenshots. Hopefully someone can clarify this but it seems like its just a new 2 min mode with "optional" iap that can help boost ur scores. Would be v disappointed if that's the case because I absolutely love the first game.

Gods and Blades is out tonight, and seems to be really well-received among those that've played it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=l6qQl8Hww3c. I think it looks pretty cool.
Also: Rayman. I'm falling deeper in love. Ubisoft is so amazing, in that they make these brilliant decisions that actually pay off, decisions no other large publisher has the smarts or courage to make -- letting Chahi do essentially whatever he wanted with From Dust, or, instead of making an internal team spit out an UBIart-powered Rayman for mobiles, giving it to a very small, talented and experienced iOS developer. And yet these decisions are lightly sprinkled in with those such as their draconian DRM and the torture porn that was the Splinter Cell E3 trailer. Bravo, Ubi, you beautiful, stupid bitch.

The original was 3 CDs.
There are TONS of dialogues, everytihng is spoken and there is an almost complete full orchestra event in the game.
The dev said the app contains all the languages, maybe they will release an english only version which can trim down the footprint a bit (about 300 megs) but it's not even decided nor sure.
I like the fact it contains all the spoken languages...always played in English, would like to check out the Italian version too, which was published almost a year later due to the fact that Broderbund was out of businness the day the game was published in the USA (hence almost nobody played it, even if reviews considered it awesome).
I remember I had to do quite an effort to get the game back in the days...the publisher didn't even shipped the game to shops.

If you are no good at the game you're definitely not going to be able to buy your way to the top of the leaderboards. That's not how this game works - you still need skill. Everyone has the same 10 boosts to pick from as long as they've progressed far enough to unlock them, costing from 250-3,000 coins (there's only 1 of those), and you can earn those coins by playing if you don't want to buy coin packs. You start with 10k. And the coin doubler in this game doubles all coin earnings including the chance wheel.
If you're good at the game I don't think you'll have much problem. You might have to grind a little if you don't have the doubler, but I don't think it'll be crazy.
Games have a 2-minute timer, but that can be extended by matching clock condos. You definitely won't see games lasting forever this time around.

Sounds doable. How much is the doubler?

It's $1.99.
