I think the lack of buzz was because of Apple's NDA on SDK use, which made it tough to really talk about any of the software being developed with it. But the volume of titles available certainly bolsters the notion that there's definitely buzz among the dev community.Chris Remo said:

So you can take screenshots in-game? What was the process for doing this?Mr Jared said:
This is a screenshot I took with the 2.0 update, of me playing Super Monkey Ball, uploaded using the Mobile Flickr app.
2.0 am god, confirmed. We're all fucked when Peggle comes out.

Apple fucked us on the last update too, the one they asked 20$ for with the apps that iPhone users and new iTouch users are getting for free.
No demos per se, but there is a preview button that allows you to view a brief video of in-game play.amrod said:
Edit- my bad, looks like the preview button was just available for the games available in the old store for iPods. Haven't looked through all the new games, but so far I'm not seeing a preview button for the iPhone/iTouch games.
High recommendations from me for MotionX-Poker. It's gambling + yahtzee + unlockables + achievements, and it's got a great intuitive interface for rolling the dice. You shake the phone.

One of the most addictive casual games I've played this year. Well worth the $5.

that looks great. it's basically yahtzee minus the trademark, right?
mattiewheels said:
Kind of. Imagine if you were playing Yahtzee against another player for one set of three rolls to see who gets a better hand - that's MotionX-Poker.
There are 5 unlockable tables based on your cash level, and there are various bonuses for how you win (streaks, low hands, comebacks, etc).

160+ games at launch? Crap-Store
rakka said:
If they're anything like the jailbreak games that are out now, 1 maybe 2.
I'm not sure if i really want to upgrade to 2.0. First of all, i need to wait till they unlock 2.0. After that, i have to decide if i want to keep the apps that i have now or lose them all and upgrade to 2.0.

Yeh but it's Apple, Apple is cool and edgy. If you don't have the latest from Apple you're a PC geek living in your mum's basement.
/me got fucked for the apps with my iPod touch as well. It left me slightly less butt sore than dealing with iTunes, what a POS it is.

I can't believe they made a Bomberman game without multiplayer!
I just want to suggest everyone gets the FREE AOL Radio..it rocks! You can get radio stations from all over America and you don't need Wi-Fi. Some stations even have it set up where they show you what song is on and you can buy it right there from the itunes store (WiFi needed) It rocks!
This Comparison sheet has some comparative specs for various handheld devices.Marconelly said:
iPhone graphics have better image qualities than PSP -- better definition, 3D depth, and color blending -- and support more advanced features like DOT3 normal map texturing, yet the lower silicon and power consumption of its MBX Lite + VGP Lite graphics core limit it to around half of the PSP's performance.
A game still in development, Ascension, looks to utilize the hardware well for an early effort.

Its tile based, deferred rendering architecture delivers a lot more performance for a given budget of power consumption, though, and clocking its variable rate SoC higher could theoretically give it the performance crown.

Went to the Apple store today, to check in person when the iTouch firmware will be available...
"We don't know, actually Apple hasn't told us...we only find out through their website like everyone else."
Are you fucking kidding me?!?!?!?

is it multiplayer? It'd be good to hand it round among players.
as for the cost, I mentioned in the other thread that I didn't mind paying a little for the previous itouch firmware as at least we were getting some new apps. but if this new firmware simply allows me to install software, then I resent paying for something that lets me install things I've already paid for. app store is a new revenue stream for apple so they shouldn't charge me to get access to it.

I watched that whole vid expecting to see some cool gameplay idea/mechanic. Spent the whole 2 minutes wondering wtf the big deal was. Then I came back to the thread and realised the big deal is that its a good looking mobile phone game.
And it looks VERY good I must say. Colour me impressed.
mrklaw said:
MotionX-Poker does not have a multiplayer mode, sadly, although it does have a free roll mode so if you wanted to use it to play Yahtzee proper you could.
As for the iPod Touch firmware cost - the new firmware is not simply the app store update, it's also the enterprise features Apple's been talking up. Those may be completely useless to you and most iPod touch users, but those are significant features and Sarbanes-Oxley is in full effect, y'all.
