For new page:
Anyone playing Big Win Soccer? Looking for some friends for the friends tournament or whatever.
If you haven't played it, its a freemium game from Hothead. Similar idea to FIFA Ultimate Team I think, you get packs of cards that give you players as well as 'impact' cards that have various effects (like better passing, shooting etc.) and strips and contract cards. You can watch your teams matches in a nice little match engine, although there are some annoying niggles (ridiculous amount of penalties for one). Subject to usual freemium stuff like in-game currencies, but I have been progressing fine without spending any money.
My GC name is number1jagsfan (actually does it use GC?)

Bolded for Great Justice. They will find a way to fuck you, either delete the app for a more profitable one or never update it.
Thankfully we don't have to worry about that too much since they release an app like every two years.

No gear grinding here, Sport.
You asked for information about the new version of Tetris and I provided some. Make of it what you will. If you're fine with iap and origin, buy away. In the same review he says:
Of course, finding that would have required actually reading the review.
If you want personal anecdotes, perhaps it's better to ask for those up front. If you had, I wouldn't have wasted my time trying to help out.
Having spent some time with it, IAP are definitely NOT essential, but they do speed up the gameplay. The gameplay, however, reminds me very much of a more interactive Tiny Tower. To summon a monster, it costs gems (Fire, Soul, Wind, Water, Earth) which cost energy to gather, and that replenishes every three minutes. Once you reach Lvl3, however, every time you level up the replenish rate is cut in half. When you summon the monster, a timer will appear, the summon time being dependent on the level of the monster (zombie takes 10 seconds, cat woman 30, mini man 60, etc), but you can summon them instantly by using a token. However, the game runs in the background, so you can really play the game exactly how you would Tiny Tower! Summon a powerful monster, exit out of the app and do other things, and you'll be notified when the monster is ready. The flow of the game is not dependent at all on the tokens, and the pacing is very nice.
MonTowers is going to be my new obsession for a while, I feel. It's not an extremely deep game, but it's simple, well presented and fun.
You don't have to get snippy man, just looking for feedback beyond 'lol EA'.
I thought "How's the new version of Tetris on iPad?" pretty much implied that, but sorry if it didn't?

Easiest way is to restore the new iPad from your old iPad's iCloud backup. You'll have to set both iPads to use the same iCloud account, at least when you're in the iPad's initial setup phase.

Thanks, Okno. I don't have much against IAP, as evidenced by my eagerness for the updated Neuroshima Hex and my poor, poor wallet, but consumables make me wary. I think I'm going to give it a try.
The way you asked implied, to me, that you were open to any relevant information. I got snippy because I didn't appreciate being painted as though I had a particular agenda for just trying to help out.
Putting a "those who have played it" clause in there would cleared the whole thing up before it was started. I guess it is best if it were chalked up as a misunderstanding.

Can I play my Junk Jack worlds on my iPad that I play on my iPhone?

Anyone checked out Legend of the Cryptids? It's a free-to-play CCG with some light RPG elements. Developed by Applibot. A very addicting game. The artwork on the cards is fantastic!

Easy way - put the pics in a quote block.
The Sandbox Game will be releasing tonight/tomorrow morning ....
Looks kinda interesting.
http://www.thesandboxgame.com/
At a glance it reminds me of maybe a mash up of bits of Minecraft, LittleBigPlanet, Mario Paint and a physics-y lite sim game.
Will be free with IAP or unlocks for different elements.
Sounds like no Universal, tho.
So ... .... not for me, I guess.

I'll want them both to be set to the same store account so they can easily download apps, but can I change the main iCloud account later?

To be honest, I've never tried... but there's a section in the Settings app devoted to iCloud in iOS 5+, so I don't see why you couldn't.
EDIT: Okay, looks like changing the iCloud account requires deleting it from your device, which states that all documents stored in iCloud will be deleted. No idea if that includes app data saves. I only maintain a single iCloud account so hoping others with more experience with this than I can chime in!

How do you guys manage storage? For example, I have Max Payne that I already beat and it's 1GB but I can't manage to go through with deleting it. Even though I know I probably will never play it again. ಠ_ಠ I like to keep my games to 4 folders or one row. Gotta maintain symmetry on my home screen (OCD like that). So I couldn't have 5 folders for example with 4 on 1 row and 1 on another. This would all be solved if apple lifted the stupid 12 app per folder limit. (or if i fixed my OCD but that aint happening abytime soon 
) What the hell is the point of that?
I'd love to keep all my games in one folder.
Do you guys have trouble deleting apps that you paid for? Even if you know you can always download them again but shit, who does that? Once they are deleted you know your most likely not going to re-download them again.

I redownload stuff every now and then, mostly thanks to the "purchased" tab in the AppStore. I wouldn't without it however, too hard to keep track of stuff.
Yes. It's my dumb game of choice when I'm not playing Spacechem.

Once I finish a game I normally delete it since most games I play once and I'm done. That goes for all platforms. There are some exceptions, of course, and I make sure to keep those available.

Haha, I've got the same and I still feel the need to delete stuff when I'm done. No idea why, I've never even come close to filling it up.

Don't suppose anyone knows when we should next expect a 20% off iTunes gift card sale somewhere? I really should learn to stock up whenever these come around...
: )
But then I'll probably be in here tomorrow with Batman Arkham City Lockdown codes from Panama Chief to squander any goodwill I may have cultivated.

LostWinds 2 is basically the best iOS game, hands down. Stunning graphics, sound and gameplay are part of an awesome package that for the asked price, is one hell of a steal. Buy it twice.

nice! Will keep an eye on this!
Should be available now, depending on your location :

Don't know how relevant it is..but I quite enjoyed the iPod version. I really like the one touch mode. Granted its not exactly the "traditional" Tetris, but at higher levels, it's just as frantic. I haven't progressed through the galaxy mode or whatever that's called, but I don't feel the need for IAP so far.

Game is pretty cool so far, but man, there are a bunch of typos, lol.
On a side note, mobile GAF is all messed uo right now. It's p-ing me o.

How's minecraft pocket edition? Does it or will it be getting regular updates? Not paying for it I'm just going to save up my points on freemyapps and deciding whether I should get FIFA 2012 or Minecraft because I have almost everything else interesting being offered on there.

I keep games until I've finished them, and then I delete. I only have 16gig devices. Holding on to big games like that is a waste of space.
So really, if you do actually have OCD then you're fucked
you might as well just do away with folders entirely. Why not have a page for each genre instead?yo link the free apps man
like shits hard typing up the names on the appstore app when you just say " ____ is free"
Arkham City Lockdown? Still showing £3.99 on my end.
How important is it to play through the first one?

Congratulations, you really deserve it!
Awesome game

Only insomuch as the first one is a good game too. And there are mechanics that are iterated upon in the second that might be a little obtuse if you've not played the first.
