so i tried playing power of coin...it's...fun, but I have no idea what the point of the game is. is it to jsut try to "score" as high as possible before your coins run out?
really enjoying undercroft btw.

I don't know, but I have no problem with my soccer team (still West Ham) sucking some games. I'm star level 14 and can't carry the team all by myself every single game - sometimes I score a hattrick and we lose, but sometimes I get neither an assist or a goal and we win anyway. It makes it more realistic if you can't just steamroll through every team, when you're really just ONE player.
I was always under the impression that they will only work in the country specified.
Just saw this new release:

Looks like a Card/Boardgame with a historic setting??? Definitely sounds great to me, but I don't know anything about it... Is it a port from a real-life game? Does anyone know anything about it?

Has there been any new word on those old rumors of Grim Fandango and/or Baldur's Gate 1+2 for iOS?

Instead of trying to fix the screen try to fix your finger. A piece of tissue attached with a rubberband has worked well for me in the past, for stuff like Fruit Ninja. Looks super ghetto, but I don't really care (and only do it in my house)

As promised, here's a short list of the diablo style games that i've come across:
1. Companions
2. Dungeon Hunter & Dungeon Hunter 2
3. Emissary of War
4. Legendary Heroes (Crappy DoTa style game)
5. Lara Croft and the Guardians of Light (it's a stretch, but i'm including it)
6. The Bard's Tale
7. Pocket RPG
8. Pocket Legends (it's an MMO, and not very good)
Upcoming:
1. Dungeon Legend (Think Baldur's Gate meets Bastion)
2. Hero's Call (formerly Quick Quest)
I know that i'm missing a few. SOLOMON's KEEP was pretty popular on the iPhone for a while.
Hope this helps.

Thank you! I'm definitely looking forward to Infinity Blade: Dungeons. I wish it would come out soon!
You're awesome, thank you very much for the suggestions!

The solution to this problem is calluses.
Mage Gauntlet is a lot of fun, it is kind of like a SNES Action-RPG simplified. Hard to describe and I don't know if it's what you're looking for but it's entertaining.
Do these work in Canada? Or more specifically, in the Canadian iTunes store?

Weird, replaced my iPad and now Carcasonne thinks I didn't buy the $.99 river expansion or the $1.99 Inns and Cathedrals expansion and is trying to get me to buy them again before I can start a new match with an opponent using the expansions.
Anybody else ever have in-game purchases disappear on you?

There should be a button / method to 'Redeem Purchases' and re-download In-App Purchases.
I assume you are using the same iTunes account.
Carcassonne has a 'refresh' arrow button in the top right. Press that and login and it should work.

Haven't heard the Grim Fandango rumors myself, but Beamdog's platform announcement for Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition is supposed to be this Thursday (they mentioned they won't be supporting controllers, so that probably eliminates the 360/PS3).

And if you ever encounter a game that lacks a "reauthorize purchases" function, you can just go ahead and "purchase" it again - the App Store will recognize that you already own the content and just download it without charging you. It sure was fun reauthorizing 35+ songpacks on jubeat plus...

I did when I got my ipad 2. Trying to buy it again should actually restore it for you. I never got charged again for expansions.
Wow. It's really easy to implement 'restore purchases' through their storekit api. No excuse.

Man what did gameloft do to dungeon hunter 3, I loved the first game but this, this is just a money grinding pit without a story at all, all about timers and spending gems that want you to buy 
It's a real shame because the base and gameplay is rather good, uugghh

Yup, it's a total shitfest.
Mage Gauntlet is amazing.

listen to the mad man
I don't like 100% of these games, but they're among the most acclaimed on the platform across the board, and so it's a GREAT starting point for getting a feel of what you think works and what doesn't.

Argh, I just synced my new iPad to iTunes and half my apps inexplicably disappeared. Telling iTunes to put the apps back did nothing to restore the data for those apps. More than a little pissed right now.

This is one of the reasons I've stopped syncing with iTunes. So frustrating...
Anyway, a suggestion to you - a lot of times before the sync iTunes will backup your phone data. You may want to see if that happened and do a restore to right before you did the sync?
StarCreator
Member
According to the timestamps on iTunes it overwrote the backup with all my data after syncing, and restoring via iTunes seems to have restored it to the post-sync state, with half my stuff gone. Trying to figure out how to restore it directly from iCloud without involving iTunes now.
EDIT: Did a factory reset and restored from iCloud data, that turns out to be post-sync so all my stuff is still gone. Now having to go back to the backup from my iPad 2, which means anything I did in the last week is gone for good. Holy shit Apple.

I've only played ESPGALUDA II HD out of that list. Definitely like, though I'm a bit biased as I liked it enough that I briefly owned the arcade hardware for the game.

This is why I don't sync with iTunes. I'm iCloud only now and have restored an iPhone and an iPad flawlessly.
Graphics aren't as good. That's about it. Still has multiplayer I believe. The touch controls are okay. Not great, but more than enough to beat the game.
If they put BG1/2 on iOS, it better be the EE versions being made for PC.
Dunno but Best Buy in Canada does 20% off sales on iTunes cards every now and then too. They sell the $50 for $40.

It was an arcade game first, released in 2005. I bought it in 2008 (cost more than my iPad) thinking by then it was unlikely to ever get ported to anything. It was ported to Xbox 360 in early 2010 and hit iOS very soon after.
Yeah it's crazy. They make them for these places called "arcades" or something. There's an urban legend that says there's even some in America! (...well not that many anymore)
Anyway I don't have Espgaluda II, but here's my Ketsui* board for an example (the "hardware"):
You can play them on a TV with some adapter hardware (called superguns), but I use a cab:
*If they ever get around to porting Ketsui to iOS, 1) there better be a manual shot option, 2) everyone should buy it cause it's the best.

Not actually that important
Finally playing GP Story and.. i dunno, I expected it to be different.
There's a lot of "free" time, Game Dev was a lot more hectic. But maybe it just starts very slow, i just got dine with the first GP series.
Two questions: when you race, what's the grey button with your stats/speed/driver for? I thought it was some kind of push/slow down/pass button a la GT5 B-Spec. You can push it but I don't see any change, maybe later into the game?
Second: what's the skill for you car/driver you should look out for when you crash into the barriers a tad much?

I'm experimenting with a new video format for giving interested people a "quick look" at an iOS game. Please take a look and give me feedback:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvoYDfLTeQw
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0p_FSxUQwU
Changes I'm already planning:
- Way less "ums" & "aahs." I had no idea I was saying them at the time. Didn't realize until I saw the final video.
- Shorter. 1.5 - 2 minutes, instead of 3.
I'm open to any other feedback. The audio is unscripted, and I'm playing live (capturing direct feed) as I'm speaking. The basic idea is to keep it casual, and to more-or-less pretend like I'm answering the question "So what's the story with (game)?" Hopefully these can be good resources to inform people on whether a game is for them or not in 2 minutes or less.
