why did I wait till now to play drop7 its great!

LOVING all the facebook connect and twitter stuff too, I'd get Scrabble too if they updated the UK version.

Having an issue with GeoDefence updating, getting a error can't verrify game message when I update, any ideas?

Cannot recommend Drop7 enough. Most addictive iPhone game yet IMO.
 
I was impulsive and bought Need for Speed and Tiger Woods tonight, even though I was trying to hold out for lite versions of both (or a lower price).

I'm actually enjoying Need for Speed a lot, although I'm only a few races in. Graphics are nice, gameplay was fun and arcade-y. Customization options are in there too. It feels like a console/PSP game to me, not a mobile game. The acting--oh God the acting--let's just say the cutscenes are definitely the worst part of the game, probably next to the crappy music.

Tiger Woods also feels like a home/portable console game, not some stripped mobile game. I've played the Wii and 360 versions of Tiger Woods and it does feel exactly like those games. The graphics won't win any awards but presentation-wise, it's still pretty good. Too bad there's no online play but there are still a lot of options available to keep me entertained.

Ummm, way to go, EA! Never thought I'd publicly champion a huge corporation but, uhh, great job.

Underworlds 1.1 is now out on the App store - grabbing it now :)
Click to expand...

Yup. Grabbed it a few hours ago.

Word of caution - doesn't affect gameplay, but the update changed my character's portrait (he's now some kind of Egyptian warrior apparently) and there's no way to undo it.

On the plus side, they added a decent soundtrack to the game and the font is better. Appreciate the control changes too, leads to much less accidental potion quaffing.

Edit - Oh, and the new Zen Bound update is also now out. I picked it up since the price drop to 2.99, and I wish I had got it sooner. It's a very slick, relaxing game.
 
Ancient Frog just went on sale for 2.99. Neat game, the guy did a fantastic job with the visuals. Relaxing puzzle game, similar to Zen Bound in that sense.

MGS Touch is fantastic! Don't know why some of you were so down on it. I think it was done exceptionally well. Nice and polished.

6 € for a free flash game port is a bit too much :/
 
Is there any way to set iTunes on PC/Mac to automatically download App updates like it does for Podcasts?

So annoying when I load it up and it has like 10 updates and I have to manually go in and click a button. Just download them yourself, for crying out loud!!!

I don't think so, it seems even free updates are considered transactions.

Furthermore, it's not exactly hard, we're talking 3 clicks here, you can do that daily, it takes all of 10 seconds.

Finally got my Trixel review done. We gave it a 5/5.

NICE! Great review by the way. Agree with all your points.

Thanks dude. We're getting great reviews but sales are really disappointing.

Seems women dig the game more than most, but only hardcore game girls tend to read the sites. Looks like we gotta start sending begging letters to Oprah...

I'm pretty sure there is a update all button.

Archon is one of my favorite games of all time, if they F this up there will be hell to pay.

I still have my original EA Archon 'record' album sleeve from the C64 too.

Same. I've got a couple of them actually. One brand new and still sealed. It's one of my prized gaming possessions.

I've started doing some mini reviews on a site I started about 2 months ago. It was originally going to review only retail games, but then I realised the review updates would be months apart because I don't buy many retail games these days.

So I've been doing a couple of iPhone games. The idea is that a game is rated relative to every standard drink I (or the reviewer) has whilst playing it, with a comment given after each one. The score is mostly meaningless, but sort of gives an indication of how interesting the game is and how long it can hold the attention of the player.

Anyway, the first two:

Passage

Orions: Legend of Wizards

Orions was a surprise. I really enjoyed it and I've never played a fantasy RPG card game.

Peggle: ETA Minus 48 Hours, over.

:D
Click to expand...

Really interested to see how this version is... a little worried that I haven't been able to find screens or video though. If it's as smooth as the PC version I'll be very pleased.

Do we know how much it'll cost?
 
Anyone remember the awesome early XBLA game Outpost Kaloki X? It's just been released on the App Store for $1.99!
 
I'd love to see Raptor on the iPhone.

Don't buy it. I did and it's horse sh!t.

Fiddly and annoying, the idea is good and hopefully FM will be ace if they decide to make one.

It only has english leagues too.

Just not good enough, looks rushed.

ohh god, I want Peggle iphone so bad.

What's it going to cost USD$? and what time will it go up in the USA store?
Click to expand...

It's on the AU store for $5.99 AUD, which converts to $4.56 USD with the current exchange rate. I'd expect it to be $5.

And before anyone asks, it's 10.2 MB.

Feature list cribbed from iTunes:

* Master 55 levels and 40 Grand Master challenges
* Pick your level in Quick Play or Challenge mode with a flick of your finger
* All new Extreme Precision wheel - fine-tune your aiming for masterful shots
* Cool new style shots (like Off the Wall, Double Long hot, and Eye of the Pyramid) for racking up more bonus points
* New Trophy Room - revel in your growing collection of trophies

* Fully optimized for the iPhone and iPod Touch
