Nod. Still loved it without the companion, though. And grats on the launch.

Targeting terrorists with a D-Pad
Fan-bloody-tastic! This game was so much fun, even if it was a little bit on the easy side.

I seem to have a lot of GC friends playing Clash of Clans. Is it any good? It looks like the same old town builder, We Rule type thing.
EDIT: Oh I see there was some talk about it a few days ago, and it IS just the same old thing.

I can't wait for Year Walk-a great looking game from a great developer. I'm hoping it's released tonight at around 9PM PST with the other stuff?

It's kind of insane to think about the potential processing power of the iPad 5 and what it will mean for games.
Maybe that's what the Sony conference is going to be today, the iPad5 IS THE PS4!
iPhone 5S only gonna use iPad 4 processor. Lame.
Yes but will it run RR3 smoothly?
It's really awesome. I got my first iOS device two months ago, an iPad 4th gen, and I felt the same as you did. All the december sales made it all even crazier!

A few people have said to enjoy it a lot here. I've only played a little, but really liked what I saw with it. It's a very big game for $2, and tons of stuff to unlock (at a fast rate too), you get a nice amount of upgrade material from every level, and every level can be replayed with each of the 5 heroes who all fight differently for additional bonuses. It looks impressive too, for what it is, with hundreds of units running around fighting each other. Some people have said it's grindy, but I was enjoying replaying the same level over with different heroes (the upgrades you purchase are persistent so you get them when you replay levels), and didn't see it as a grind, but fun. Tossing the enemies 10 feet in the air or shooting them halfway across the map is pretty fun, and the defend the castle works well I thought, with the wall you build/repair and fortify with archers/etc.
There's a good degree of difficulty later on from what I read, that's manageable by tactics, and there's a huge amount of multiplayer content as well, which even if you don't touch at all the game has a ton of content for $2. I don't think you can go wrong if you can tolerate the virtual controls and enjoy the 3rd person castle defense type of game.
It's pretty amazing. And has great multiplayer too!
Developers have yet to use the A6X to its full potential. I'm more excited about the reduced weight/size.
Very grindy and not much feeling of progress. At some point I want to be plowing through everything. I can never really do this without playing 24/7 and upgrading like crazy. It gets tough fast.
Fundamentally, a good game.

I'd have more today, but it's all-hands on deck for Sony this afternoon. Thurs-Fri I should get some written and video impressions online.

Is it actually fun? It looks pretty lame, it's beginning to feel like Nimblebit are a one-hit wonder.
(What a hit, though)
Well, I mean, this one is a real video game. It's not just a time-killer "play then wait" game like Tiny Tower, Pocket Planes.
Still too early for me to weigh in on how fun it is. I liked it enough to play more at least.

Cheers, I shall remain cautiously optimistic!

Excellent news. Any other recent games support iCade? The last ones I got were Metal Slug and Raiden.

So there is some crazy god of war style unreal engine game coming out tonight for a dollar (apparently no 'catch')
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=y0RIhmH_oiM#!
seems alright.
Might give it a shot because it is just a buck.

Year Walk is out! Not gonna be able to play it right now, but nice to see Simogo having descriptions in Potuguese for it in the BR App Store.

Oh snap
Woo! I've never actually played despite all the praise. Will finally give it a go, hah.
Also, any impressions on Year Walk?
Civ Rev just got a huge update that adds, among other things, multiplayer.

So i picked up Gods: Rebellion.
It really is quite decent for a fucking dollar. Sure the combat is a bit clunky, but there is some depth with the whole unlocking new combos and a counter system. Controls work better on iphone than ipad, but overall it's a quite decent brawler made by a nobody (better than all gameloft shit) and for a dollar.
If you dig GoW style games, toss the guy a bone.

I played Year Walk briefly. It's...unique. The presentation is awesome. Especially the title sequence-reminds me of the original Alien film title sequence.
That being said, it's so minimalistic that I really have no idea what I'm doing. I'll put more time into it tommrow when I'm not exhausted.

Ahhhh. A game my wife got addicted to. She hates games but loves plants vs zombies. Game is really fun!
Edge gave Year Walk a 9: http://www.edge-online.com/review/year-walk-review/.
Wish I didn't have stuff to do today as it's cold and I'd love nothing more than to hunker down and play through the entire game in one sitting.

WOW.
I really didn't know what to expect, but I was completely blown away by my first hour of Year Walk.
WOW.
Just WOW.
Solved 2-3 (very immersive and clever) puzzles....WOW.
If you are barely interested in the game, just buy it and do not read/watch anything else.
If you like the idea of: Myst/Riven meets Sword&Sworcery and The Room, mixed with Nordic legends, just buy it.
Too bad I've work to do now....I'm really impressed.

The other things added of course being a shitload of new IAP options such as the $2.99 multiplayer :|
Only to be expected I suppose.
Meanwhile starbase orion gets a neat new map zoom feature for phones, fixes and some balance changes.

So if The Witness is a PS4 game, what are the chances of it not looking and running like shit on iOS? very odd choice of platform. I wants it though.
I don't think it being on PS4 has anything to do with graphics. They must have paid Blow a good deal to keep it off 360/ps3 (initially)

Not actually that important
The same as a game releasing on PC/iOS?
It's just a timed console exclusive, game's coming out on PS4/X360/PC/iOS and probably PS3/Durango
