Still don't want to play more than the demo though.
Game certainly looks great, but damn it's difficult. Steering controls are quite touchy.

The Simpsons Arcade is quite fun, and the graphics are pretty nice.
Hi guys,
Apple just approved our latest app Bird Strike. Crazy part is that we only submitted it to them less than 24 hours ago!
We're scrambling to get the full website together now, but in the meantime check out the freshly minted gameplay launch trailer
We should be up on the store worldwide on the 7th. I'll post some screenshots back in here later on, and give away a code or two

Couple of my friends have been working on a pretty fun game if you'd like to check it out. It's called Arroic, it's a bit of a mix between a ball maze game and a trick-shot game with tons of content. There's a trailer here and you can download it here, or the free lite version here. Hope you guys enjoy it.

Going by pandora's box app only a handful of app's are actually being added each day, it must just be a slow or low amount to go over after the huge rush everyone did to get their app up by christmas 
feb should speed it up again.
Driver is down to £2.99 from £3.99 now, I think that means from $7.99 to $5.99 in apple's pricing.

Looks great. If there's a line for those codes, I would like to be in it.
Any of you devs messing around on the Pre now that Palm released the PDK? Wondering how it compares. I know that the processor and GPU are the same as the 3GS, but that doesn't mean a whole lot in terms of ease of development, does it?

Deserves a thread of its own. Seriously. I expect either craaaaazy 4 figure pricetags, or some crazier lame flaw going forward, but that looks astonishingly cool. iDevices only do b/g... I wonder what the range would be. I always thought G was like 30-50 feet, but I'm probably wrong.

Thanks Foob! We've got two major comments so far - fixing the damn screen auto dim, and online leaderboards. The first one has been swiftly dealt with, and we're looking into OpenFeint support now. We've released three apps using it so far, so it might not be far away

Just got done playing Trenches for a good 2 hours and I have to say its pretty great. Its a WW1 kinda simplistic RTS/TowerD typish game. After you beat the campaign you get a zombie horde mode which is awesome too! Check it out if you havent.

Looks cool. Bird games on the iPhone are rad. If people haven't already, they should check out Must Eat Birds and Angry Birds.

Assassin's Creed II: Discovery is out: http://itunes.com/apps/assassinscreediidiscovery
It's £6.99/$11.99 and weirdly, it's by Ubisoft. I'm guessing that from the title it's a port of the DS game, much like the first was.
Edit: Yep, confirmed on the Touch Arcade forums, this is a port of the DS game. So a full-price DS game for £7 isn't terrible value. :lol

According to SlideToPlay:
BREAKING NEWS: We are told by a person working for Ubisoft that this sudden, unexpected release and unusually high price point are a mistake. The game will be pulled soon because it may be buggy, and the $12 price will not be back. If you buy this game now you will be overpaying for a pre-release version, so please wait until the game is properly released at a lower price.

Plushed is $0.99, down from $1.99 right now.
And, am I too late for the Bird Strike promo codes?
^yes, IMO I've owned both and it's painful going back to using a 3G after using the 3GS. Not just in terms of how fast games and apps load (and perform) but just the general UI feels so sluggish now on a 3G.

Most app's will run at a much better frame rate due to the faster processor, if the dev added in any support to the better graphics chip you can get games with motion blur, bump map etc but hardly any app's support there extra features right now due to so many people owning an older device.fanboi said:
It's worth paying more to get a 3Gs or 3g touch because in a year from now it will still be kicking good power and games will evolve to look much better by using it, it's come to the point now where the older iphones are slowly becoming too weak for certan games, ridge racer is one of them where it runs terrible unless you are on a faster model.
To compare:
old iphones & 1g touch : 400-412mhz
2g touch : 533mhz
3Gs & 3g touch : 600mhz and an improved powerVR chip
I own a 2g touch and it's still working brilliantly with all the games I own, even ridge racer is 30fps now since it's last update. But the game will be even smoother on a newer model.

Thanks for the recommendations... Just got Bird Strike and Beat It.
Haven't loaded up Beat It yet... but I'm already loving Bird Strike.

Not only is it quite a bit faster and capable of pixel-shading effects, but the 3GS has a much better camera with the ability to choose where to focus, and it can take videos as well (the 3G cannot do videos).

^I think he was talking about recording videos. Everyone knows any iPhone or iTouch can playback videos.

I think most people, myself included, don't want to deal with the hassle of having to keep up with jailbreaking between every firmware update. Plus, the video recording on 3G is crap compared to the built-in recording on the 3GS.
IMO it's more burst-mode photography than it is video capability, but to each their own I suppose.
Hey guys, long story short, but after waiting months to update my unlocked 2G to 3.0 waiting for a reliable program, today I just found I could update without problems, keeping the unlock and everything, so I'm back to be able to buy iPhone games.
So far I have bought Beat it because I loved the art and concept, and I am nicely surprised with Twin Blades Lite. Oregon's Trail will probably be a game I get for sure, but was hoping to find some reccomendations of the best games avaliable (from you, or pointing me to any page that have such info). Thanks in advance.

Said already but most Glu games are reduced currently to 59p/99c (glider 1-2, family guy, minigolf wacky worlds, etc.
Also Plushed is down to cheap, some people here were looking forward to that game. I been hearing a few complaints like 10 minute stages with no check point on death so i'm passing on it.

looks damn fun though so I linked it.Years ago when I was in a dorm at uni and doing the weekly washing trip I had to sit with the machine as it did it's cycle and drying, so I use to play a mobile phone mini golf game on it so much I must have beat it like a billion times, since then I love the isometric putting games :lol

The 3G can only record videos if you jailbreak it and find/download unofficial software that uses some hacks to do it. The 3GS has videorecording built-in as an official feature, and its camera system is much better suited to it.
