So many games drop in price like this, you are always best waiting a few weeks on most apps.Costanza said:

Yeah it seems kinda buggy as shit on my 3G, I'm guessing at least part of it (if not a lot of it) is OpenFeint. Other than the rotated dialog thing, it gets choppy whenever an achievement comes up (and hardlocked my phone on my 2nd achievement). I was able to finish my first game though!anachronous_one said:
...even then that's due to another crash on the name entry screen. I actually lost it on level 39 somewhere in 39k, then when I started it up again it let me continue from some point where I then survived to that score, and apparently Normal mode ends on level 40? Even with 39k I'd be first though, so it's not entirely fraudulent!
I was wondering about that, the trailer from way back looked nice but seemed...confusing? Like there was a disconnect with the guys movement and the on screen action, it was really weird.mrWalrus said:

So is Duke Nukem 3D worth it for .99 even with what everyone complains about?
RelentlessRolento said:
I haven't had a decent go since the controls were updated, but if the bugs were fixed, I thought it was fine before. I think you kind of had to have a history of Duke to full appreciate it. The game is flawed on the iPhone for sure, and the release is a true screw up. 99c is pretty low, though.

Wait, so it wasn't just me? I thought I had died, but when I booted up it asked me to continue... I was wondering if I had just remembered incorrectly, or what...
Actually I think it crashed again at some point after that and had the continue option up again. Tried it for the hell of it and just brought me back to the end screen with name entry (which wasn't saved apparently) and score submission. I guess it only takes one score per user, otherwise I'd have the top two spots with the same score.mrkgoo said:
Just finished my first game of unify. it was everything I was hoping for. 
and, as I expected, I got totally freaked out by the end. I scored 26,100 points on my first try and then the colors started messing me up and I couldnt keep up.
I suspect Ill do better on subsequent playthroughs.
this one is definitely a keeper. yet another game that I would easily, EASILY pay over 5 bucks for yet its only a dollar.
A DOLLAR.
WTF!!!

Hmm, I wonder if it'll be the same package as the Wii version, or are they releasing each mini-game induvidually? The TAPRUNNER logo worries me a bit.mrWalrus said:As I would imagine there are, however when you use this as the first image someone sees..
it's a little off-putting. :lol
Can't wait to get my iPhone, phone company I ordered from seems to be getting steadier shipments from Apple, at last.

Watch for Warp Gate, it looks like it's going to fill that void, and the creators have even said that Escape Velocity was an inspiration. Should be coming soon.
Well 99 cents is the "special introductory price", who knows what the regular price is supposed to be.LCfiner said:Just finished my first game of unify. it was everything I was hoping for.

panelfly looks amazing, it's a new 99¢ comic-reader with a really beautiful interface and an interesting way to handle scanning between panels. i'm a comiczeal man right now, so it's definitely competing with the perfection of that app. apparently, it knows intuitively how far to scan to get to the next panel, so you just tap the right side of the screen and it moves automatically to the next one. i wonder how well this works on all comics, and if you can import your own.

what really interests me is the built-in 'itunes store' type deal you can purchase new comics from. never heard of any of these but one of them looks like o'malley, and they all look pretty interesting.

what the hell?
lose/lose by the creator of Unify
"Although lose/lose is a video-game, everything that happens while you play is real. Each alien is procedurally generated out of a file on your computer. When you kill an alien, the file it was created from is destroyed. On the other hand, if you are killed, the application itself will be destroyed."

I really like the iVerse Comic reader. You can buy a lot of good comics that you may have actually heard of, and the way they adapt comics is very well done. .99 cents for the app, almost all first issues are free, and comics are .99 cents and purchassed in-app.
Great stuff!

LMFAO. Omg. Imagine Unify is another sick game by ZG and it's deleting random emails, apps, pictures and songs for every combo you get.

OK so Hybrid is AMAZING but also has a story which is throwing so much info at you sometimes you feel like it's too much. Gameplay is all about your combo skills if you like that kind of thing and there is no overworld apart from a map select screen, very pick up and play game.
Will play more and make a thread about it, gaf needs to learn about the awesome.

So I deleted Hybrid. I'm not a huge rpg fan to begin with, had I been I'm sure I could find reasons to like it but the story seemed generic and cheesy and the battles were more button mashing than anything else. I'm sure a lot of people will love it, I didn't love Zenonia either, but I played it for 45 minutes and didn't want to move on. It did have a pretty cool style though.
Happy that I got it for free...is anyone else loving it?
Oh I also hate how the sprites are so damn small and I had difficulty pulling off combos.
Edit: lol @ a both extremes of Hybrid impressions being posted at the same time. For me the story wasn't intriguing enough and since it's story, battle, story, battle, neither mechanic was better than "ok."

But yeah, it's not for me. I'm not saying it's bad, just saying I didn't find the story to be interesting (I'm sure anyone who's played it can see where I'm coming from calling it generic and cheesy) and neither are the battles. I have much better things to play.

All updates are just reinstalling the software, even if they are just patches. Software requires double space to install - it copies over the package, then installs it and deletes the package. I assume it then transfers save data over, and deletes the original app.
Any update to Monkey island will always be 350MB.

Insane For Sony
Monkey Island really looks so much better now with AA added. They also fixed some of the visuals flickering issues.
