It is on the list, but no schedule for it yet.

As long as it's coming, that's good enough for me! That's great news. To celebrate, I'll try another run at the whole-game-one-credit trophy today in the PSN version. I have every trophy but that, and another one, which I won't name because it's...unfair. Yes, unfair. ;)

The problem with Speed Forge for me is that it plays rather rubbish, still better then a lot of hover racers out there but I did not like the trial outside of the pretty graphics, only thing missing is blur if you play it on an older iphone/touch.

Actually I'm finding the controls and gameplay to be incredibly refined, I played a bunch of other wipeout-like iPhone games like Low-Grav Racer etc, nothing even comes close to this for me. It makes such good use of the accelerometer I didn't even know it was possible to make it feel this precise. (I must say that disabling motion blur REALLY changed everything for me, don't even think it looks much worse without it with everything moving at such fast speeds)
 
Highly enjoying some GAF Carcassonne with Astrolad and Stantron. Here's what the game looks like so far:

As you can see I have them right where I want them. ;)

Anyone else playing? Let's get some hawt five gaffer action going.
 
Yeah join us! It's PBEM like I'm sure games like Scrabble and the like are so you can just take turns at your convenience. For example I can't take turns during the day on weekdays! :lol
 
Hello guys and sorry for my rather rookie question, but
is there an equivelant of metacritic or such site for iphone apps/games?
thx

You can have more that 2 players over an internet game? Why did I not know that?!

In friend games, not quick play. Also no timer in friend games so you can just take turns at your leisure and you get notified when it's your turn.
 
Has anyone tried any of the following games?

Castle of Magic
de Blob 2
Zenonia 2
Tiki Towers

If so, how are they? If I'm a newcomer to these games, should I get the first game before playing the second? (in the case of de Blob and Zenonia)

Castle of magic is good, one of the first 3D platformers on the device, suffers from a little slowdown in areas, I think it was a port from a cellphone game or it used one as a base and then improved the visuals.

I had fun and beat it last year but not touched it since.

de Blob 2 is pretty basic.

You just control one blob round a room, and can't go over areas you've been before... sorta like a maze/Tron bike games.
 
So looks like I'm getting a 32gb 3rd gen ipod touch as a graduation gift since my ipod classic finally bit the big one. Is Chaos Rings good? The idea of a console quality portable rpg sounds pretty awesome.
 
I know a few people here picked up Bird Strike either to support us or by taking advantage of the free promotion we ran. We just launched a video competition around it with the prize being an iPad.

Check out how to enter here.

Castle of Magic has a horrid virtual dpad (though better than, say, Mega Man 2's), couldn't bring myself to finish the game on the ipod.
If you have a DSi, buy it there. Exact same game (although with pixel visuals as opposed to models) but with better controls.

Hey Mario, is there any chance of Gripshift ever hitting the iPhone?
Click to expand...

It has never really been in the consideration set for iPhone, but we are reviewing GripShift for another platform opportunity. If it goes ahead for that, bringing it across to 3GS/4G/iPad in some form may be a possibility.

I'm down for five copies if it's on the Wii, ten if on the DS.

And please make GripShift 2 for PSP. That is all.

(You know me Mario, I'll never miss an opportunity to say that)

I tried the lite version but the non-stable framerate really ruined it for me, the game seems so close to absolute greatness but doesn't get there because of the lack of smoothness.
 
Does anyone else have problems with the menus in Puzzle Quest? A lot of the time my button presses don't register at all. I have to tap the same button like 5 times for it to count.
 
WOHOO!

Mouse Porno has cracked top 50 in Action, and is now in the New and Noteworthy!

(had to make that just for you guys. :D)

Please please please support a gaffer, and download this game! It's still 99c until June 15th, so get it NAO!

EDIT: Yeah, it's actually called Mice Heist. :lol

That's amazing news! Good work guys (getting onto that list is no small feat)

Wait, I haven't been following. So it's NOT called Mouse Porno?

Yeah, it's called Mice Heist. We figured that to be on the safe side and not be rejected by Apple (or stir controversy), we decided not to call it Mouse Porno. But feel free to call it that on here, guys. :D

Thanks wondermega! Though it fluctuates incredibly when you're hovering around the 50 mark. I'm sure that the above 30 and higher see less fluctuation.

I'm really hoping that people will see how cute our game is, and the amount of effort my buddy and I put into it, that they'll support it and bring it to top spots.
 
Our latest title Flick Kick Football just got approved and is on the Store for 99c. Trailer here.

Also, we have started rolling improvements back into our earlier Flick Kick games and should start submitting those updates from next week.

You don't seem to be completely happy with the game...

(avatar-compatible, if anyone wants it)

Edit: Also, I was really disappointed that I couldn't listen to my own music while playing FKFG. Any chance you could fix that?
 
Bought PES and it's fantastic. . .I bought Real Soccer 09 and World Cup 10 previously and this blows them out of the water as far as gameplay goes, playing on wide camera angle the graphics and animation are much smoother.

There's only two button controls though so it's a bit disorienting making long passes (by holding down the pass button) since you don't really get any feedback but the game plays like PS2 era WE so it's good.

Dunno about the PSP version but at least Konami has one platform where it's better than EA atm. . .

I have literally every football game on the App Store.

I would say the best so far is X2 Football 2010. Is PES better than that?
Click to expand...

I played a game on a friends iPhone actually, and I'd say this is better, then again I didn't really like X2 enough to buy it. It really surprised me how much of a good first impression PES made, since most of the iPhone football games to me have a pretty shitty feel when you first play them.

edit: After playing a bit more, it plays almost exactly like PSX era WE, mostly due to the 8 point movement. Also, accelerometer control is :lol

If you start the track before loading the game, it should work fine (I just tried it and it worked on mine).

Let me know if it doesn't, and your iPhone type.
