Is this only the first game or does it have the sequel too?
Had this issue recently, if your device failed to sync some apps it saves a zip file
In a folder called applicationarchives, mine was almost 2GB. You have to use a desktop app like iexplorer to delete the file.
iexplorer was free when I used it recently?
"iExplorer is 100% free, fully functional and not bundled with lots of crappy toolbars or other stuff to mess up your computer. If you like iExplorer and insist on paying us for it, checkout our store and maybe buy the full version of one of our other programs."

I just read the "Best" iOS Games List and am horribly dissapointed.
Battleheart, which is literally a grindfest, clobbers Final Fantasy Tactics, the greatest SRPG of all time? Game Dev Story, a game that is only fun in the middle, which lasts about 5 hours of doing the same thing over with minor improvement, gets #2 iOS game? Ever??
There are tons of examples like this. I can only assume that those who participated in the vote have extremely… straight-forward taste in games.

Cores, shaders and BIOS oh my!
ApplicationArchives folder is empty in my iPad2... path is var\mobile\media\
Or are the files invisible and I should delete the whole folder?
If not, what else could "other" data be?
Edit: I even did a backup/restore as was suggested online (the problem seems quite common) and it didn't fix it.
Edit: actually, that process increased "other" as it was 0.82 GB and now it's 0.83...
Edit: now it's 0.81, I guess it flunctuates a bit at first...
Edit: and back to 0.82 after I deleted Broken Sword, buh...

How are people getting such crazy runs in Roo Roo Run?!! I am shaving my time but some time are crazy short?!
i always thought it was extra data for applications
i use comic zeal and assume all the comic files fall under "other"
lolopinions.
Battleheart is well optimized, universal and cheap, FFT is (or was) slow as fuck on anything but a 4S, no iPad version, expensive and many have played before.
It's a better game, but that list was about how well these games play on our phones / ipads.

iPhone+async gaming=GAMING NIRVANA.
Just saying.
I had many triple A console titles to play this weekend (starting with Skyrim) but all I was able to do was Ascension on my iPhone.
All of a sudden, games I would had sinked 8 straight hours in the past are meaningless to me.
Am I the only one?

Nope, for the past few months I have done all of my gaming on an iPad 2 and iPhone 4S. I'm just now starting to catch up on some of the bigger titles from last year. (Arkham City, Sonic Generations, etc.)

Is there a solid list of the better asynchronous multiplayer stuff?

My year old iPod Classic's hard drive is fucked up (I usually used it for winter jogs in negative 20 celsius so that's probably why it went stopped working) and I'm picking up a white 32gb iPod Touch today with a $50 iTunes gift card.

If your into Bloons TD4, I would suggest gemcraft also, its story mode is alot more difficult then the flash game.

Congratulations, you really deserve it!
Infinity Blade 2 is out. Also, Real Racing 2 perhaps. Where's my water? Bike Baron is good too. Actually there are heaps of good games on ios...

I'd skip Minecraft and Robot Unicorn, they're OK but not the best games (and Minecraft is both gimped and expensive). I don't even know where to start with good games though, waaaaay too many.
.

ah fuck it, get Super Crate Box and League of Evil for some platforming masocore goodness, Drop7 is the best puzzler on iOS and GTA3 is impressive just technically. But there are so many more I'm forgetting too...

Quoting for interstellar truth. Oh, for the love of GOD, this should on everyone's machine. Conquer a galaxy, subjugate enemies, utilise espionage and sabotage, develop planets, build starbases and vast fleets of ships from the smallest of frigates to space cruisers!
...all within the comfort of asynchronicity. To maximise chin-strokery and forging that master plan.
Speaking of which, looks like it's just us, Tune. Shall I kick off a game?

Is it me or is this game a bit like Alpha Centauri? Can you give me a quick (very quick) review? Specially of the MP?

Carcassonne
No need to listen to anyone else. Start here, post in the community thread and get your friends to buy it too. Fun for hours on end will ensue.

Hmmm, more like Masters of Orion 2, if that helps. You choose a race - each with their own attributes, benefits and negatives - and kick off a campaign of exploring star systems from your homeworld. Once colonised, it's then a case of building up population - the rudimentary grease of the galactic empire gears - developing planets, researching through a tech tree and building up fleets for either or both decimation of enemy fleets and/or planetary invasion. (There's also a nice side of civil developments, too...)
The multiplayer is essentially the same as a single player game, with room for a max of four players in a large galaxy. It's good, because the game (unless toggled otherwise) fast-forwards over idle moves and keeps the game speed going at a brisk pace. It's kinda hard to explain, but it keeps the early game brisk and once players have a lot of projects on the go, fleets moving between systems and other "milestones" and projects being completed in the mid to late game, you won't notice the difference.
Really good, nice and deep. Best iOS multiplayer experience by far...if you're into that sort of thing.
Yes I did! Its wonderful! I want some of the other games (I am looking at you Soul Caliber) to use it.

Thank you! I was 1st on Chapter 6 I think and in the top on a few other ones. Suddenly people are beating my scores by like 10 seconds, when I can only shave maybe a few .01's here and there. I don't want to say cheating but I mean WTF
There are (were?) cheaters, there was a bit of talk about it in this page of the previous thread. I don't know if it was fixed, maybe they're at it again?
Indeed. And Ascension is not too far behind. I always have a dozen or so async games going on.
Finished Tintin over the weekend. Y'know, it's pretty damned good. Every level seemed to switch up the mechanics, there was a decent mix of 'on-screen d-pad' and tap & swipe controls and the 'Cut the Rope' style mini-games interspersed throughout were enjoyable. Presentation was groovy too.
Basically, Gameloft are learning, slowly but surely. I wouldn't recommend the game because there are some on-screen d-pad moments and a couple of frustrating bits*, but it's definitely a step-up from their usual clone nonsense.
*I nearly put my finger through my iPhone screen while doing the 'guard the candle' bit.

Watched a bit of gameplay video of it. Correct me if I'm wrong, but is it safe to assume it's basically Civ in space?

Personally between:
Ascension
Carcassonne
Hero Academy
Poker Pals
Uniwar
I can't have ANYTHING done.
In that order too (but I bought Ascension only 10 days ago and I LOVE it...after a solid year of Carcassonne).
I prefer the fast games of Ascension, but it's undeniable that Carcassonne, as far as async gaming goes, is the sleekest game.
The day when Ascension will get realtime ingame chat, things will change tough...
Seriously, get both....gather a bunch of friends (better if from various timelines so no matter what the time of the day you will always have someone to play with) and belive me...you won't play anything else.
The amout of fun I got from Ascension is incredible...I felt stupid waiting so long to get the game, can't wait for the next expansion.

My finger has been on the verge to buy Starbase Orion countless times now...
I would love to play it (especially in mp)...my problem is that while I like a lot the setting, I do not like a lot 4x or resource management games (I do not like Civ).
I would prefer to sink in a story or at least have many 'events' during the game (like unexpected thing happening...like new destroyed ships discovered, black holes, alien invasions, diplomatic requests...) than manage countless 'lifeless' planets and the like.
On the contrary, every people I know with the game is hopelessy in love with it, and the devs are constantly improving it.
What do think?
You said the mp is solid....nice notifications? Multitask? GC integration? Realtime chat?
Sorry to ask but....you could have another adept here

MGS4 was also GOTY back in the day here.
These lists are more popularity contest then anything else.
GDS is pretty shallow and has zero replayability, but kairosoft games are the only games these days besides mmos that I can play 5+hours in 1 sitting.

It likely means your brain is tired and just needs something you can zone out with. Been there, man...
