Anyone play Gameloft's DJ Mix Tour? I see that it's on sale for $1.99, down from $4.99. Just wondering if it's any good or if I should just wait for that magical .99 price.

Globall is a brickbreaker but with accelerometer control.

I wonder what's up with today's Crystal Defenders update? The only description was "An update is now available for the iPhone 3GS". Did the 3GS get some new feature in the game? (Mine's a 2G, and after the update, nothing is different.) Maybe it takes advantage of the hardware and performs better on the 3GS? Something like that?

GAMELOFT FOR PRESIDENT.
I would like to see the line of sight improve but the graphics are nice and the gameplay seems developed. Very excited for this one.
Last week I posted about a mysterious video of an upcoming iPhone game. Forum members played a bit of a guessing game as we all speculated what the game would be about. Some were sure it was a trailer for Cartel, an MMO-type game currently in beta, others through some internet detective work traced the site back to Gameloft and hoped that we were looking at an upcoming Grand Theft Auto styled game.
Those of you who thought we were watching a trailer for Gangstar were correct. We just got some news and exclusive screenshots of what Gameloft has in store for us, and it sounds like a pretty ambitious title for the App Store.

Good little puzzle Tetris meets Sudoku that reminds me of Drop7 a bit superficially especially because of the grid layout but has a different gameplay mechanic at work.

Everybody is different. It depends on who's posting at the moment. Personally I've never had an issue with clones.
If your speaking to DropSum though it really does have a completely different gameplay mechanic than Drop7.
Not as slow on the 3GS, at least. It's better than having 11 cluttered pages of random apps.Flunkie said:
Also, Flunkie, did you check your PMs on TA? I asked the dev of DownToZero to send you a promo code for the lite version (it's all he had left). Not sure if he did or not.

I think the big difference is that 1.) It wasn't just a similar game, it was the *same* game - graphical style, gameplay, etc. 2.) They claimed it was an all-new, all-original thing.
You can ape genres and mechanics all you want, but taking something that distinctive and basically claiming you invented it is criminal.

I feel bad for how many Iphone games are shameless ripoffs of something else, and ripoffs that you nonetheless have to pay for. If you're stealing someone's work so completely, at least have decency to give out your inferior copy for free.ha1f said:
The most recent example is that Lumines ripoff, which is so bad that it's nearly unplayable in comparison, and ugly as sin too.
Actually, a really good Tetris clone (and free at that) was removed from the store, probably because some of the IP holders complained. It was called Tris.Tempy said:

Very much so. You also get a free soundtrack download, and it's really good.Acid08 said:
Just bought 4x4 Jam. Apparently it's a downscaled port of an old codemasters game called 1NSANE.
And uhh, there's like.. no content here. 2 tracks and 2 cars. Not sure it was worth the $4, but it does look great and plays really nicely (3GS). With updates adding the rest of the content from the OG game, this could be great.

And no, I didn't get a PM. That's awfully considerate of you, though.
That's what I do, first few pages are apps, then favorite "hardcore games," then favorite casual games. I have no issue with it, especially since the home button jumps to page one from anywhere. But no denying categories are nice.

Even more impressive is that I didn't start posting seriously until after the app store had been open for awhile. I sort of ignored the whole iphone thing mostly at first only posting occasionally.
