Enable Tap to Shoot and you can shoot when aiming by tapping without having to bother with the shoot button. You can do the same with jumping to slide/dodge easier.

I know. That doesn't solve the problem though. You still can't aim and shoot at the same time, you have to lift your finger and do a separate action. Just like with the button, only with the convenience of doing anywhere on the screen. In fact, it's somewhat worse, because you have to tap for each shot, you can't even hold to keep shooting.

ahahaha.

Yeah... not enjoying the whole freemium angle gamevil is going these days even though all there games are easily exploitable to 'succeed' without buying iap.

Another quick King of Dragon Pass question (sorry!) how do you kill the horse spawn and beast men? They're attacking me constantly and I'd like to put an end to that! Thanks

Tetris on iOS is literally the worst version of Tetris ever, on any platform. Does anyone really care that much that they don't have it anymore?

People are going to want to post shitty versions of Tetris from the past to try and prove me wrong, but don't waste your time. Nothing you can post will be as bad as Tetris iOS.

Speaking of gamevil, I noticed they announced illusia 2 would be coming this month, does anyone know of any screens/etc? I haven't been able to find anything .-.
 
I've been out of the iOS loop in 2012. Does this sum up the worthwhile games?

League of Evil 2
Hero Academy
Run Roo Run

Epic Astro Story
Angry Birds Space
Swordigo
Beat Sneak Bandit
Reckless Racing 2
Max Payne

It sounds like you can strike Payne off the list. I can't speak for the rest of the list, but the three I made bold are awesome.

FYI
Amoebattle ($4.99) is available as a Gift app on FreeMyApps for 800 points.
Which seems to be a relatively good value compared to the other titles available.

Dont get Max Payne (it controls awfully) and I did'nt really enjoy Run Roo Run. The rest of the list is good though, especially Beat Sneak Bandit and Reckless Racing 2.

Glad you posted this. Was wondering what I'd get next after saving up on FreeMyApps. Tetris looked like the next thing, but I was hesitant. I just don't see how it translates well with touch controls.

Huh, I never really thought to ask for a good loot-based dungeon crawler for iOS. If Sega could get us a damn English version of PSO2 that would be it, but otherwise, I'd love something like Torchlight on my phone or iPad.

Dungeon Hunter 2 isn't bad by any means - just dated. Weird saying that considering it came out like a year ago.

Bought Mass Effect Infiltrator. You know what, it's pretty fun.

I don't know how were the controls before, but now they are good. Some tense firefights, demanding moving from cover to cover and constant change of weapons and biotics. I like it. Feeling better about this than Max Payne (both $5).

Good at being the bigger man
I wonder what he would say...

Megaton of the forever. Thats what he would say.

But I might be biased since the fact that my company might go bankrupt if no-pne buys our game. Hehehe.

Honestly, I think we made a really good game. I hope you will enjoy it.

Max Payne 5$? You seem to be hating this game more than it deserved... I'm currently at the end of the first main chapter and it's not bad at all. Sure the controls are not ideal, but with the sensitivity up and tap controls it is very playable. Great game for 3 dollars.

Mass effect is on my must-buy list. Epoch showed me that this type of gameplay is great on the iPad. So many great games on this platform that I have a massive backlog already...

This was a great week! Crow is a great and original experience. DevilDark is good fun, but I do hope that they fix the interface for the new iPad. Burnout seems like another game that goes on my must-buy list for slower weeks.

I really enjoy Dungeon Hunter 2. It's pretty mindless but has a lot of loot and is quest based. It still looks pretty decent as well.

works for Gamestop (lol)
Some sales

Zuma's Revenge is 99 cents for iPhone, $1.99 for Universal version

Soul Calibur is $11.99 (not really a true sale, same price as launch price, thanks Bamco)

Yeah, but it seems pretty hopeless from looking at what the goals are and how many people are playing lol.

Some of them I can't even qualify for because my character dies too fast, doesn't have enough magic, or hurts the baddie too little. I think the only one I qualified for was the gold grabbing one. LOL

Does anyone else notice how ugly Back to the Future looks on iPad 3? Like I think the resolution may be iPhone 1 low. Is it broken on iPad 3? Also has lag during cutscenes. Downloaded the free episode with the intention to buy the other episodes but I won't bother if the run and look as bad as episode 1 does.

First game I really got into and sunk hours into on my old Ipod Touch was Warpgate - I will be getting an iPad 3 soon and I'm wondering if there are more games out there now that are similar.

Also are there any games like Age of Empires or something similar? Some kind of game where you control armies?

That's that space game right? The only game I can think of that's similar... is infinite space on ds lol.
