I've been eyeballing this controller from 60beat, but the compatibility list is small thus far. Is the method you mentioned specific to the iCade, of do you think Icould get similar results with this alternative controller?

Works... through the headphone jack? That's bizarre.

Another day of scanning the app store & not finding Phoenix Wright 123 HD. *sigh*

Never knew controller through audio jack is possible.
Anyway unfortunately, I don't think it will work on Blutrol because Blutrol designed for most bluetooth controllers with iCade signal mode only.

For example - iControlPad can do iCade mode, and will work on Blutrol.


Blutrol 2.0 will support more bluetooth controllers, and BTStack support which mean Wiimote can be use in next update. Hope it will come before end of June.

These are FREE Fabled Lands 1 http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/fable...0874?mt=8&ls=1

788MB Is it woth it? ( i know its free,but...)

Short answer, for most, probably not.

Long answer ...
I suppose it would depend on how excited you are about gamebooks in general or this property in particular.
The primary problem people have with it is that there are a lot of quest areas that are kind of dead ends because they extend into Part 2 (or further unreleased volumes) ... so if you happen into one of these branches you will be prompted to buy the second installment or be advised that the content will be in a future installment.

That said, they seem to be a very good implemation of the series and one of the best in the genre.
The art looks particularly crisp and nice to me on my iPad and there seems to be a relatively decent amount of content available.
Being a gamebook title they are of course extremely text heavy.

But to top all that off, though, it seems now that the series from this dev will not be completed at all and these will be removed from the App Store, as they posted this over on TA today :

Hello. I am the manager for Megara and Fabled Lands. We did not intend to lower the price that much or to set the first app free. I did it because the authors have decided that : - My company Megara will not design any other Fabled Lands apps in the future - Our license for the first game will not be renewed and on July 20th the two base apps will be removed for the store. Fabled Lands II will however be allowed to stay on the store one more year after which we'll have to remove it as well. The authors have taken this decision based on 2 factors : - Our fabled lands apps were the most profitable gamebook apps ever designed on the app store but they thought it was still not profitable enough. - They wanted in the hope of more profit to relaunch the Fabled Lands apps but with a developer capable of doing it on all platforms at once not only Apple. Megara was not in a position to do this as our coders are mainly iOS coders. I have heard that the new version of Fabled Lands 1 by that other developer will be out this year. Megara will have nothing to do with it and we have not licensed them anything like our art. I was sad to hear that, and my team was sad too, but that was the author's decision only - Megara had even started FL3 production when we heard the bad news.

Wasn't Plague Inc a *ahem* tribute to Pandemic any way? I think this model is pretty much fair game. Plague Inc does it with the best UI, regardless.

Spent more time with O2Jam S. Does the judgement window feel a bit loose to anyone else? It's not on Cytus's level but I still shouldn't be able to do stuff like this (even knowing this is the easiest of three difficulties... it's a grind to unlock the other two and judging by the leaderboards, less than 10 people have done so so far):

Still on the fence about it. How's the quantity of songs?

[bigwinnerx]

Sure it's been mentioned but IOS 6 dropping Ipad 1 support. It begins.

[Anno]

With iOS5 running so poorly on my iPad 1 I'm neither surprised nor angry, really.

Also, I've spent the last 2 days playing Kingdom Rush. Is there a similar game nearly this awesome out there that I'm not aware of? It's completely spoiled me on the entire TD genre because of how polished and complete it is.

[Wario64]

What about iPhone 3GS? Not that I have one, just curious

[cw_sasuke]

This means no iPhone 4 either ? Since both are based on A4 chips, though the iPhone has double the ram.

My iPod Touch 4G is really sluggish now and it pisses me off.

[Yaboosh]

And a lower screen resolution.


Edit: Rumor is that the 3GS will get IOS6.

[dream]

I'd imagine that Apple would continue to support the older hardware they're currently selling -- ie, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPad 2.

[Cheebo]

They have to support 3GS since they still sell that. iPad 1 has not been on the market since March 2011.

Holy shit. 338 levels made in less than 4 days!! Who of you guys have created a level in Ichi?

Quantity? I think there's 10 songs, plus 3 more unlockable. Three charts per song.

Cool. Quality sounds OK, but quantity is important to me in a music game. I'll probably check it out this week.

Not by much. The iphone4 resolution is pretty close to ipad 1/2 resolution.

Man I keep looking at The Village screenshots - what can I play to satisfy my urges to play it?

Need to find some RPG that I havent played / that isn't gamevil garbage. Don't feel like playing Adventure Bar Story or Dungeon Village at the moment.

Heroes vs Monsters was pretty fun.

Anyone playing Slingshot Racer? What's the power box? Some of the tracks has some electric white ball thingy but I don't know what to do with it and I can't 3 star it.

[Mithel]

Honestly, anyone who doesn't have it should wait until it goes paid again. PikPok deserves your money.

Hurry up Magic 2013. :( I'm so glad to hear that greet news about it coming from E3. Definitive version!

There's an Adventure Time game on the Appstore called Adventure Time - Legends of Ooo: Big Hollow Princess. It's a simplistic point-and-click adventure game and pretty fun. I haven't played much yet but there doesn't seem to be a whole lot to it. It's $.99

http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/adven...512696593?mt=8

There is also a Regular Show game called Regular Show - Nightmare-athon. You take out waves of zombies using tilt controls and it's broken up into rounds that last a minute each. More challenging than the Adventure Time game but still on the easy side. It's also $.99

http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/regul...470530779?mt=8

[ToxicAdam]

I was all excited to download that Adventure Time game and show it to my kids (who love the show).

They informed me that they played it a long time ago on the Cartoon Network website.

The iPhone 4 has a lower screen resolution than what?

Are there any Every Extend Extra-style games on iOS? I find it hard to believe that it (or a decent knockoff) hasn't been created.

LTTP: Monsters ate my condo is sooooo gooooooood.

It's really excellent. For a little while, at least. After you get the basics down, you'll get good enough that it becomes more a test of patience than skill. That's when I stopped playing.

[Chopper]

So, Project 83113 is like a platformer, endless runner, bullet hell shooter all in one?! I am loving it, but the difficulty level just stepped up a notch, and I'm noticing slowdown on my iPad 1. I would recommend it to absolutely anyone though.

[Mario]

Honestly, anyone who doesn't have it should wait until it goes paid again. PikPok deserves your money.

I like this suggestion.

Though, really, everyone should take this one for free. Pay us for the next game we release :)

[SmokyDave]

Get Gridrunner for your iCade, it's amazing with the stick and feels like a brilliant old school shooter on the cab. My most-played iCade game, aside from iMame.

Picked up an iCade this weekend after looking through the compatibility list. I'm really enjoying it. Perfect size to sit on the breakfast bar and blast out some Minter goodness before work. I'd love to see the Cave shooters made compatible but I don't hold out any hope. Air Attack HD will have to do for now.

Also grabbed an Apple TV to augment my iOS gaming. Airplay stuff is surprisingly smooth and responsive so far (though I've predominantly been using it to stream media). Being able to start a game on my iPhone and then get home and carry on with the iPad (using the TV where applicable) is priceless. Reminds me of my PSP-Go but far better looking and way more convenient.

LTTP: Monsters ate my condo is sooooo gooooooood.

Agreed. I actually feel guilty for overlooking it for so long and then getting it free.

[ponpo]

Crud. Honestly it might just be because people were talking about a lack of pokemon / AC style games when you posted it, but still excited to see.

Is the game still really early in development?

Um, wait. Holy shit. Apple TV is CHEAP? Why have I not known this before?

Can you play all games on your TV using it with your iPhone, or only some?
Probably only get one if it could be jailbroken, though.

If you have an iPhone 4S or an iPad 3 you can mirror your device to the screen and play all games. My iPhone 4 does Airplay for music and videos but not mirroring*. Not sure if Airplay games work normally on the iPhone 4 because so far, I've only been playing on the iPad.

As I understand it, it can be jailbroken. Not 100% on that though as I don't jailbreak my stuff.


*(Mirroring = 1:1 phone to TV. Airplay games = Action on TV, HUD / Controls on iPad / iPhone).

ichi is great, picked it up last night, fits the platform so well, will review and 5 star it later on iTunes.

Cheers for that, Dave. Have a 4S, so that could be a great little novelty or something, to blast Jetpack Joyride and Pinball Arcade on.

And I've had a look, the ATV 3 can't be jailbroken yet... but with the features it already has (shit, it's worth a hundo to me just to play my phone on a TV) it's mostly a non-issue.

I've been trying to do a bit of backlog clearing before I download anything that isn't free again but Galaxy on Fire 2 is once more down to 0.99, I'll finally give in.

Galaxy on Fire 2 is simply fantastic. I'm so glad I listened to GeekyDad and bought it.

Ichi is also really great. Satisfyingly difficult - not too hard, but not too easy.

Oh and I have to say thanks to thewesker for the free Where's My Water code. Very solid game - I now understand why everyone loves it.

Playing Descend RPG (though its really called just Descend)

Simple fun game. The "random battles" is kinda weird. Biggest negative - NO MAP FEATURE

Chapter 3 is just a spider web of twists and turns. And it's a bit late for me to start graph papering it.

I think its free right now so here's a link
