was skeptical of Triple Town, but based on the comments here I downloaded it at lunch. Holy shit it's insanely addictive. Great game!!

Does this have a single player mode? It advertises like a multiplayer only game.
Yes, multiplayer is new so that's why the page pushes the MP mode

As far as I can tell, it seems to be the same set-up as it was on Facebook. You had a limited number of moves, and like a lot of Facebook games, you could either replenish your moves over time, purchase more with in-game currency, or use Facebook credits. Now, my wife is simply addicted to Triple Town, so she uses all her in-game currency on moves, and still she manages to get scores that are crazy. Me, I was happy with the amount of moves they allotted me every few hours. I just don't need to play the game that much, though I still think it's excellent. I haven't messed with the iOS version too much, but it is on my phone. It gives you more moves over time, right?

death rally is a great top down chaos racer that you should definitely give a chance, especially if it is free!
Cool, thanks, will get when I am home.

Great value iOS gaming.
IMO it was, now it's all about the IAPs out the whazoo.
I only remembered 1 IAP to unlock some weapon type or something. Did it get worse than that? Didn't seem intrusive at all.

It's especially offensive in multiplayer where you essentially need to buy to rank up in order to play properly. The three reviews listed on the iTunes page are very accurate in this case.

I never got into Death Rally. Maybe I need to go back and give it a chance, but I preferred top-down racers like Reckless Racing and Mini Motor Racing. Perhaps it's the combat that didn't grab me. I'd rather just race.
Full disclosure: I've only played like...15 minutes of it. I'll have to go back to it.

I WANT GHOST RECON SHADOW WARS now
I think I posted the link too early. Usually happens if you catch them changing the price in the act. It should work later in the day...just put a reminder to download it

This is for iPhone/iPod as well, right? Not just iPad?
Never played the original but I wasted my money on the iOS version.The iOS Death Rally is nowhere near as good as the original PC one. Disappointed that I dropped money on it, TBH
Wasted a lot of money on crappy apps. I'm getting better and thankfully they're all cheap.
Same here. Apparently they should be at the end of the level select screen. Redownloading didn't help either. :-/
Original's awesome. Made by Remedy and is almost exactly like the classic Micro Machines 2D games but also has weapons and Duke Nukem. I think it might even be (legitimately) free now? Look it up, I'm sure it runs on DOSbox
Edit: Here!
Its a good game with fantastic presentation, but damn, by the end of it I was really ready for it to finish.
Agreed about the guard the candle section btw!
It's no wonder Death Rally is free, it's quite sickening really when you look at MP. Why not just charge a one off payment and be done with it? In this way, if you want all the game content, you'll end up paying $20+ for an iOS game (plus what ever other purchases they add later) when it's not even worth that. Paying for in game content, specifically content you cannot use or see what it is till you've purchased it is disgusting and should be discouraged.
Anyone who supports this type of thing should have no right to complain about it when the market is saturated with this crap (as if it isn't already).
Also, if anyone wants to see what Baldurs Gate 2 looks like when it's running I made a vid:

I also have been contributing to this thread, read it if you need help in getting it going yourself (GOG version).

You should be able to buy it on your computer and then not sync it to your device. I don't know about doing it directly from your iOS device though.
Purchase on device.
Wait for download to start.
Tap and hold any icon to enter wiggle mode.
Delete icon of new app mid-download.
It'll show up on your 'purchased' list within minutes, and if you have iTunes up and running at home (or wherever), it'll start downloading there as well shortly.
This only works if you have enough space to download it to begin with, of course.

Shortly I'll be installing from my old retail discs in order to attempt to install on my iPhone 4S. Not sure how playable it'll be on the small screen, but it's worth a shot, I figure.
I'll be checking out that other thread since the GemRB wiki installation guide is a little sparse on the details. I've already got the IPA installed on my iPhone; it's the game directory installation thing that I'm not too sure of. Also, I think I have to tweak the installations with a few mods (such as widescreen) before porting over to the iPhone, in order to make things work better for the smaller screen.
Wish me luck!

Holy shit! I didn't realize it backs up the games physically onto your PC. I thought the purchase information and such was stored, but not the actual apps themselves. I just discovered a 7GB folder in My Documents. Is it safe to delete that? If not, how can I safely remove those apps from my computer?
Ive been gaming a little on my iPod Touch 4 but Im kind of finding performance on games like Real Racing 2 and Infinity Blade a bit dissapointing.
I will be getting an iPhone 4S tomorrow...any chance there will be a nice performance boost...as in a steady 60fps in Real Racing 2?

Yes it's safe. You can move them to another external drive or partition. They're just there as backups locally. When you update via iTunes, the old file is moved to the Recycle Bin. I just do all my installs/deletes without iTunes, since I can do everything via iPod.
It's worth a shot, but some of the menu options (specifically the dialogue choices) will be very small and annoying to select
Any ideas what I should be setting the resolution to?
And is there a resource with the newest game patches and mods that I could hit up?
Thanks in advance...
Set the resolution to 800x600. You can get official patches here:

There are a few mods out, I only used the one that adds a bunch of community made fixes

Have any of you guys run into this problem?
The other night when Puzzlejuice dropped to $0.99, I tried to download it but it kept on saying I was unable to purchase...try again blah blah. I did that a few times. Finally I was able to download it.
However, now every time I try to download anything, I get a popup message saying "Unable to purchase Puzzlejuice and 3 other items, etc." But...I already have Puzzlejuice.
Anything similar happen to anyone else? How do I get rid of this notification?
Edit: Nevermind. I think deleting Puzzlejuice and redownloading it solved the problem.

Try their Flick Golf series. I prefer that over their other titles.

Although, the battery life on the 4S isn't as good as an iPod/iphone4 from what I hear. Its only a little bit better than I got with my 3GS.
