I Love Katamari is like 60fps now. :lol
Shit is awesome, it's finally playable (and then some).
Crash Racing has received a nice boost in frames as well.
This 3GS upgrade is going to get me into a lot more iPhone games, provided they come out with a nice universal gaming add-on peripheral.

Would you recommend Katamari to someone who enjoyed the 360 version, being the only version they've played, but found it kinda hard? (I would meet the goal and the Prince would still tell me I suck!!!)

Just yesterday I wouldn't have been able to answer this question but I've been testing out my games a lot today
Games I love so far:
Need for Speed Undercover - racing
Castle of Magic - 3d Kirby/Mario type platformer
Edge - cube puzzler/platformer/just play it
Taxiball - crazy taxi meets monkey ball
mevo - rhythm platformer
Tap Tap 2 - guitar hero but with your thumbs, you can even verse lobbies online, get it!
Bomber Online - online Bomberman clone
Doodle Jump and StarRide - both great "keep jumping!" games similar to Orsinal bunny bell flash game
Crayon Physics - make the ball get to the stars by drawing items that fall or hit the ball
More "hardcore" games to check out (3d person action or rpg)
Terminator (this is the only one I've played so far from here down, love it but controls may not sit with you...action shooter game)
Battlefield Hour of Heroes
Hero of Sparta
Assassin's Creed
Zenonia (apparently a Zelda clone everyone loves, bought it but haven't played it yet.)
Carjack Streets - top down GTA clone
There are so many games it's insane.

iLounge's video shows the difference between the 3GS and 2nd gen Touch is much smaller than Vs the 3G.

Given the Touch's CPU is clocked at 533MHz (412 for the 3G and 600 for the 3GS) that's not exactly a surprise.cjelly said:
The differences v 3GS will start appearing if (when?) devs start leveraging the SGX. Also, when using a lot of memory.

Baseball Slugger: Homerun Race 3D. Once again another game I don't actually own so I can't recommend but one that seems to be drawing favorable impressions from the early adopters who have it. Basically an online enabled home run derby contest game. Published by Com2uS Corp. who also put out the underrated 9 innings: Pro Baseball 2009.

TDD you should try The Creeps and Defender Chronicles. And in Action, Underworlds is very nice though far too short. And you're probably missing Space Deadbeef (awesome free shooter).
Also Peggle is not really puzzle (unless you're willing to call Pazatjo a puzzle too) and Ancient Frog is missing.
Finally, I note a disturbing lack of Eliss, Edge, Monospace and Strategery.
And, One-Dot Enemies, which should be in all game lists.

It's not a zelda, but it's pretty good. The D-Pad works ok (nothing amazing thoug), the quest tracker is a good idea, ... overall it's a good game even ignoring the dearth of ARPGs.Khanage said:

It's a VERY lengthy ARPG with leveling and skills and all that good stuff. The story is ok as the translation is really weak, but the gist gets across well enough. The controls are on screen meaning your fingers manipulate an on-screen d-pad and on-screen buttons. For some, the lack of a tactile response is a game breaker, but if you are willing to learn how to use it, the game is rewarding overall and such a game would easily be 29.99 or more on the DS or PSP. It's quite good despite being a little rough around the edges.

The game has its problems, but they are hardly a deal breaker. I like the game quite a bit, and there is a surprising amount of stuff to do in the game and a whole hell of a lot of stuff to collect. The story is decent and some of the dialog is quite funny and witty. It's definitely worth the money, in my opinion. What's also really great about the game is that it doesn't suck the battery life out of my iPod Touch. I played for four hours straight the other day and still had over 20% of my battery left from a 90% full battery.
My friend and I are looking for a good scrabble game that we can play multiplayer from different states.
Both Scrabble and Lexulous support Facebook integration via their respective Facebook apps. Has anyone used one or both, and can anyone recommend which one is the better way to go?
-Scrabble is $5, but the Facebook Scrabble app sucked at first. Maybe it's better now, not sure. But we'll be playing on both Facebook and via iPhone
-Lexulous is $4, and the Facebook app is the well-established, immensely popular app that used to be called Scrabulous until they got sued. The game is now slightly different, but basically the same thing.
Help!

Does anyone have impressions of the Resident Evil game?
I'm not sure if this has been posted but Go Go Rescue Squad has been price dropped to 99 cents for a limited time. It looks cool and has gotten good reviews it seems, just bought it.

Ok, so I've spent about 20 minutes playing a handful of Edge levels a little while ago. The game is so amazing. Everyone needs to play it if you haven't. I'm not going to say that no two levels feel the same, but plenty of levels have very distinct themes and play styles that I tip my hat to the developer(s) for coming up with a lot of these awesome distinct levels. It really makes you think and is a lot of fun...besides, the end of level animation where the cube stretches out is so beautiful and never gets old.
Edge rocks.
Edge rocks.

Been playing Castle of Magic throughout the day today. One of the best (if not THE best) platformers on the system, IMO. Great graphics and sound, very colorful, and runs great!

Only $5.99. Get it now!

I picked this up, too. I only played two levels so far, but it is a ton of fun. Awesome and fun platforming action like you'd expect, and a nice funny atmosphere. I like when enemies smack against the screen or the main character gets a power up (Robiiin Hoooooooood!
)It's definitely worth $5.99.

RE: D is quite weird. I played it for about 30 minutes and the controls are pretty bad. Maybe I'll like it better after I get further.
Knights Onrush is an awesome mix of tower defense and defend your castle. This might be my new Fieldrunners.
Star Defense is awesome for tower defense junkies.
Car Jack City seemed pretty awesome for only a buck.
Zenonia is a pretty solid ARPG. Reminds me a lot of Secret of Mana and 2D Zeldas. Not nearly as good as those, but it's still the best the iPhone has to offer in this type of genre.

I finally put some time into it after weeks of having it and the first thing I can say is that the controls take some getting used to. It's fairly solid otherwise but I have to say the names of the characters annoy the shit out of me. I'm the type that never changes the names of characters in RPGs but this one... no, I want to change the names of every single person in the game. Why adjectives!? That's so obnoxious to me.Khanage said:

While app's can be tested on OS 3.0, only now can we test app's on the new 3GS hardware, so yeah you are going to run into a few iffy games for the next few weeks or so.
Not helping that apple's turnaround for new app's is ever growing to over 2 weeks to be accepted now, patches included.
