The problem is, if you want a full hardcore experience, you're going to have to pay like $20. And as even $10 games tend to sell horribly on iPhone, developers just can't afford to do it. As a developer, I'd *love* to make full-on hardcore games - specifically, I'd love to make a true, long, Japanese-style RPG. But the App Store's pricing level is just too darn low. What Apple needs to do is what was rumored a while back: make a "Premium Games" section for these full hardcore games, a section for games with at least $500,000 budgets, so that the buyer will know that the game is truly worth $20+. (and BTW, $500,000 is still a fairly low budget, though still not really feasable with iPhone prices).

Thank you, but I still can't find it.
Only have a top paid and top free apps list under the games section. Can't find more games even when going to the top free apps page. Maybe it's just a european/swedish store problem (or me being blind).
edit: I found a way! Scroll to the bottom, click Features --> Browse. Then select App Store --> Games --> Category.
edit 2: Lame, can't sort it on popularity this way.. just get a long list of the games in a playlist format with no icons.

What about the "wait for a lite version" mentality? Speaking of which, when's a lite version of Modern Combat and Blades of Fury coming?Bresson said:

I'm really impressed with Dexter so far. The production values are outstanding. Fully voiced cut scenes. Good soundtrack composed of themes from the show. PSP-level graphics (at times). The controls are smooth and give you a lot of options, you can pinch to go into first-person view if you'd like. The game is set up as a series of minigames which flow really well in the course of the storyline. It's part adventure game, part stealth, part puzzle - all of which make full use of the touch interface. Lots of neat and familiar references if you're a fan.
Apparently there are going to be four "episodes." This one takes place during the first season of the show. I've played through the first "kill," which serves as the tutorial, and if the quality holds up I'll definitely be buying the rest of the series.

Aight, time for more free Critter Crunch...
the first 3 US RESIDENTS ONLY (yes, this sucks, esp. considering Capy is from Toronto) to post asking for a code will get themselves some free Critter Crunch iPhone.
All you have to do is remember that Critter Crunch hits PSN soon

trailer of ravensword is out:

looks interesting, but the frame rate looks a bit rough. this shouldn't be a issue for us 3gs users (unless the video was recorded on the 3gs) but it looks like it can get low when stuff happening..
will wait on reviews, but if impressions r gud i'll get it.

Just out of curiosity wouldn't this be better if done through PM rather then in the thread?

Done, check PMPsy-Phi said:
Also done, check PMAVClub said:I'd like a critter crunch code please.
You get the last mr. jojo. And really this way is easier since its clear when the first 3 people have posted, rather than via PM's where you'd never really know and i would get 50+ PM's to respond tosammyjojo said:
Will try to do this again soon.

I think this is a much better way than posting promo codes too. That's always a mess.

Dexter is good. The intro level had me a bit worried but after the tutorial type thing it became really great.

So Fishlabs released another free car racer (basicly a playable advert) from VW, Scirocco R 24H Challenge 3D and I gave it a go, to put things simply from a toucharcade reply I made:
"Car can never lose grip when turning at fast speed so it feels like a go-kart
Camera following the car is off center to the left, very annoying
Engine noise seems to vary between sounding good and being broken
Looks real nice but plays like a very simple racing game engine, no fun."
Everyone else seems to praise it, so that just tells me the forum is full of freeloading 14 year olds

To make a long story short (and legally safe), we had to change publishers and the App Store has no support for that... therefore no more updates w/o screwing everyone who bought it on the old publisher.Masklinn said:
I wish there was something we could do to circumvent it (we suggested giving away the game for free for 3 days but that got kiboshed real fast) but such is life. All we can do is fiercely apologize to the people that got screwed, and work on the PSN version that WE ARE PUBLISHING OURSELVES (hallelujis)
Thanks for the support!Fusebox said:

Instabought! Only 99 cents. Amazing deal, even before I played it. :lol
Durrr, geo swarm doesn't show up when searched on the french appstore, but the link works.
Anyway, instabought.
But whatever it is,

The issue is that the App Store tracks apps by the "owner" of the app. There is no system for changing "owners", so you have to treat any change of "owner" like the addition of a new app.Masklinn said:I can't say I'm completely clear on what the issue is.
But whatever it is,
We lost 400+ positive reviews and a 4.5 star rating... along with a ton of other crap because of this.
in short, poop happens so don't change publishers.
Ah, so basically the Critter Crunch currently in the appstore is a different soft than the one I have on my iPhone?Cromulent_Word said:
Wouldn't it be possible to publish a single update to the old one with a one-time CC code and a little explanation panel so the "old" buyers can get the "new" CC and you can go back to updating it?
edit: don't change publisher or use a different ownership no? If you'd been the one "owning" the app in the appstore the publisher switch wouldn't have had any influence would it?

I know it sounds lame, but we literally tried a slew of different ways to rectify this situation, and nothing had legs.Masklinn said:
That being said, we are still trying (over a year later)...

Oh god, I'm terrible at the first Geodefense...why am I buying this?!
getting in on the geodefense swarm love in, race to the finish line? if this is anywhere near as good and peerless as the first game this series is definitely the advance wars of the app store
disappointed to see geodefense 1 priced at £1.19 though after the dev said he see's no reason to go above 59p, maybe his plan for addons and downloadable content isnt panning out (that stuff was supposed to make up for lower cost of the game)
