street fighter IV sale!
IV quid in the UK store!
i'm actually really impressed so far, and it seems to run near-perfectly on my 3G.

i don't really know what you're getting at - it has about as much content as you'd expect from buying, say, street fighter II on XBLA, and the game mechanics are as complete as possible on a touch screen.

I meant to ask is SFIV on iPhone the same as SFIV on Xbox/PS3?
And I don't mean the same in terms of graphics/sound, I mean in terms of content (I.E. full roster of characters/special moves/endings/modes, etc.).
I passed on Resident Evil 4 for iPhone for similar reasons. Even though they called it RE4 it wasn't actually RE4, you know?

gotcha. um, there's only 8 characters (more coming in update) but the game itself plays almost exactly like SFIV with ultras, focuses, EX attacks etc. there's the training mode, dojo, wireless multiplayer, arcade (no seth)...i dunno, apart from the roster it's about as full-featured as i'd want it to be. comparing it to RE4 isn't really fair because that was a linear game where cutting content really hurt (and it's harder to pull off a 3D action game on a phone than a fighting game), but it's probably fair to say that SFIV iphone is closer to SFIV console than RE4 iphone is to RE4 console.
basically i don't feel shortchanged by the sale price, it plays really well.

It's still garbage next to the PSP version it's based on. :\Diablohead said:Awesome, I not played since I raced the first track pack to death a few months ago, I actually thought they gave up with this app... Shows that I not loaded up itunes for a few days doesn't it
It's a shame that they had to water down the car reflections on older devices, did they add them back in with this update? my 2g touch was ok running it before they optimized it.
*edit* 13 updates lolz

Can anyone recommend a good battery pack? I'm really sick of my ipod dying in the middle of the day at work. Graphics intensive games really drain the little fucker, don't they? I think I only got 3 hours out of it on Thursday last. Was listening to music in the morning and then an hour of Geared killed it.

It's worked great for me over the past year or so.
Got a few more games.. mostly the bite sized time wasters..
angry birds - awesome fun little game. Boom Blox esque
fruit ninja - meh. Feels like a wario ware mini game.. simple and sort of funish, but not as much fun as some of the other simple games
must eat birds - awesome. Not as good as the bombombs mini game but a nice distraction
doodle jump - fun fun fun, 35K is my high score so I need to get a lot better
Space Invaders something something - reminds me of rez. Great little shmup
Sword of Faragal - never been huge on rouge likes, but this is prettty fun.

So I picked up street fighter iv and I'm pretty impressed. Granted, I've always been a scrub street fighter player, but the iPhone version offers a pretty fun pared down version of the game. I don't find myself fighting the controls and play styles with the different characters really feel different.
It even works ok on the iPad once you move the buttons down to the corners of the screen.

First, your new Avatar frightens me.Costanza said:
Second, I've tried to do the same thing but I can usually only bring myself to remove about 12 apps out of the 9 pages I have.
I hate to remove a game I invested an hour into even though I may not have played it for months, like Cobra Command where I'm only up to level 4, got it when it first came out yet haven't played it again.Removing them is like admitting defeat to me. Got no problem removing things I have hardly touched though, or don't really have any time locked investments.
Neither really. I think the number of quality and higher priced games will increase from here on in, since there's a proven market for them, but the majority are going to remain small priced stuff made by small teams of devs. The low barrier of entry pretty much makes it the default, though personally I'm more likely to buy these high production games, Chaos Rings especially is insanely good, than I am the 1$ quick fun stuff.Kodiak said:

Kinda sucks for me right now since I went to my class' college graduation party and I got tossed in the pool with my iPod Touch... the thing got fried >_<
I am waiting for it to dry for 24 hours before recharging it but I don't know if it'll still work. If it dosn't, don't know if I'll pay $150 to get it fixed or sell it broken

I hate that kind of thing. The people who threw you in should pay.
I was reading about a guy who was at a party and was thrown in a pool with his slr. They didn't realise his camera and lens were worth over $10,000.

Reading about you folks running out of space on your devices makes me oh so glad I sprang for the 64GB ipod touch. I pretty much never have to worry about running out of spce for the games and apps I buy. It helps that I only have about 18GBs of music on it, leaving the rest of the space free for games and stuff.
Anyone recommend a good Sudoku game? I bought the EA Sudoku for .99 cents, it seemed to be one of the higher reviewed Sudoku games on the store. Is there another that is better? Are there any that allow you to draw the numbers to input them instead of selecting them from a list of numbers? None seem to do that. Brain Age on DS lets me play by doing that, and its really intuitive.
Also bought Boggle a couple of weeks ago. It's actually a lot of fun! I recommend it for fans of word games. Bought Street Fighter IV too. Need time to learn the controls better, I don't like games with virtual joysticks and buttons. Fruit Ninja was bought as well, like it a lot.

wait, this is a dungeon crawler? now i'm interested!
so do you mean dungeon crawler like dark cloud (well, except with turned based battles), a grid-based dungeon crawler, or a rpg with towns and fields connecting various dungeons?

After a long long wait - our new game 180 is out 
Here's a youtube showing how to play.
I will promote this when the Free version is available (another week or so?) but if you wanna see what I have been up to, check it out!
If you are a fan of Tetris Attack and Bust-a-Move (but played them to death) then you will be addicted to this!

Give it at least a week before giving up on it. My sister put her iPhone through a full wash and dry cycle and it started working again a few days later.

First day of release. I'm guessing I need to reinstall?
UPDATE - In talks now to learn more about the tech behind the issue - if anyone is having either swipe or crash problems, you can fix it by doing one of two things. First, try simply restarting your device. I've offered this fix to several people experiencing the swipe problem and it has worked perfectly every time.
In the event that a restart doesn't fix the crash issue, just reinstall the game. As mentioned the problems should only be affecting players who already had Fruit Ninja before the update - we haven't had any reports of issues from players who bought the game recently which included the update. if you have any problems when buying the game for the first time, please let me know!
Every current issue will be fixed in a minor update we will submit tomorrow, so you can expect Fruit Ninja with improved performance very soon!
Still, for the vast majority of players, everyone who is buying or updating the game is enjoying a bug-free experience with silky-smooth gameplay. And I'm very happy to say that it's the reason we are now at #7 in all paid apps in the USA. Thanks so much for your support and let your friends know that Fruit Ninja is here and we will be updating the game for a long time to come.

I feel like buying a new game to round out my home screen and so far the most recommended games that I haven't got are Angry Birds and Tilt to Live. Which should I get?
I've played Angry Birds Lite so I know what that is but I'm a bit unsure on what Tilt to Live actually is. The impressions I got from this thread and the app store description is that it's kind of like a Gemetry Wars style game but you can't shoot and you tilt to move around. Is that right?

We really need a thread where people can pimp their iPhone games to us, and another where they can't, so we can talk about them if we think that they're shitty without it coming directly beneath an extended advert for a product.
I would think there'd be more value in lodging complaints about games in a thread where a dev can respond, rather than having some arbitrary thread split.whatevermort said:
Back on topic - did anyone buy the Linkin Park game? I'm very curious if it has any merit at all, as the stigma of LP is making that $5 hard to swallow.
