I'm not liking this updating games for retina display and then finding the performance shitty. First asphalt 6, and now riptide gp.
 
Did the FSS update address the absolute pointlessness of the girlfriend? I know that she keeps your "Happiness" up (whatever that does), but fucking Christ, every few weeks she slags off my boss or teammates and I lose half of my progress with them. It's gotten to the point where I'm actively trying to get her to break up with me now.
 
I bought Tiger Woods 12 today, on sale (40% off) and I have to say I'm very impressed with it. I love golf games, and this plays well with touch controls.
 
Is that a one time thing or can anyone get in it on it?

They have twitter-trivia contests or other giveaways quite often, a few times a month. Anyone can get in on it, if you have twitter and check it frequently enough to not miss a contest ;) They're extremely cool, really.
 
Is this site legit? I saw that it wanted to change the settings on my phone but it wasn't very specific.

It's legit, all it does is it installs a small tool to see which apps you've played. Harmless, countless people on here can attest that it's legit :P
 
I love trivia games, I'll happily throw up a review if I can snag a promo code.

Done, Sire! Check your PM :)

Any one else for a promo code for sQuiz: Reel Trivia? Would love a review if possible. I'll be here for a couple of hours and you won't have to wait as long as LevelNth did :p

Seems like that "tool" can be removed by clearing your safari cache/history if anyone is worried about it. Everytime I deleted my cache/history the freemyapps site prompts me to re-install the tool again. There doesn't seem like any other way to remove the tool.

I've gotten a good 5 apps from the site. Good stuff.
 
I was going to buy riptide tonight since it now has retina and looks like a game which would hold it's frame rate in that res, guess not :/
Is it good? I was thinking about buying too but haven't heard too much feedback about it
 
Ok so I exchanged my 16gb new iPad for a 32gb...I restored from cloud...when firing up modern combat 3 I now get a "this title might have been obtained illegally" and screen goes black...anyone have any ideas?

If you aren't attached to your save data, you can delete the game and reinstall - this should revert the game back to a just-purchased state.

If you need to keep your save, not much to be done but contact the devs. (Might be worth doing even if you do the above anyway.)

I didnt notice that you can tone down the graphics settings in options. I put them down one notch and it seems to run pretty smooth. Its an alright game if you can get it on sale. Only six tracks i think.
 
Riptide is aight, worth a buck, lacks a certain something though. I was really into it cause I dig the Wipeout-ish aesthetics and I like that it takes some skill to master the 'physics' of it etc, game has an okay flow to it when you master it. But it never really feels fast enough and the controls (tilt controls are far superior than its touch controls btw) never really click 100%.
 
Okay, the AI in New Star Soccer is now SO much better, for everyone who was complaining before. :P they score even from weird angles now, nearly too good lol.

Welp Namco really doesn't want you using this outside Japan :(
 
Oh man, the new NSS update nerfed the slot machines. Good thing I farmed it while watching some tv today before updating. The new AI is so much better. They now properly chase lobs and just move so much better. Hats off to those guys
 
Anyone ever hear rumors of raid leader expansion/sequel? By far my favorite hand held game in years. Most of my classes are at lv 10 and I don't really like the challenge modes.

no longer are forced to have a gf, and if you do have one you can dump them whenever you want

Just saw this pop up on the App Store. Came out today. Anyone willing to be the guinea pig? It might be a Pokemon like scam app though.
 
Ghost Stories was my first big adventure with the new iPad. I know the rules of the base game but never played it. Really fun game and a great example of the kind of board-game action you can pull off on the iPad.

Carc is still much prettier though. :D

I'm assuming some are slapping in quick updates to ride the retina hype wave and pick up new customers looking for retina stuff. Hopefully some will go back and optimise

If you find a good pandemic style game let us know. Forbidden Island is good but I'd like something new.

I'd also kill for aliens/space hulk, think it'd suit iPad a lot. You can sort of play the newgrounds flash version of aliens using skyfire, but it's not great

So should I pick up Ghost Stories and Forbidden Island? They were both listed under the 'also bought' when I picked up Titan HD.


Ive never played Pandemic, but ive heard a lot about it, through friends and podcasts. I also picked up Operation Eradicate which is supposedly a lot like Pandemic. It seems to have a lot of cool stuff in it, but its not the best iOS board game ive played, it has some UI issues and other stuff that doesnt seem to be jiving right.


Also, I dont know how many people here have played Titan HD, but so far, after only playing it for a little while, and only vs cpu im really enjoying its style and gameplay. I plan to play a 3 player match with my buddies tomorrow, so we will see how it goes.

Well Ghost Stories is a co-op that's even harder than Pandemic (even at the lowest difficulty). Sounds like that's right up your alley.
 
I know this has been asked just recently, but I can't seem to find it...

Are there some good History/Medieval-related boardgames or turn-based strategy games out there? Not battles, more like diplomacy? I'm thinking Europa Universalis-ish. Aything? Board-games with that setting would work perfectly fine too :x
