I tried this on my brother-in-laws iPad and got a $50 iTunes Card now. I got lucky with the slots. I just need 10k credits for the Amazon $15 card.

Edit: I assume the rest of the episodes in The Walking Dead, will become available as I finish each one right? I bought the $15 pack and all the episodes say coming soon, except for episode 1.

I got a $5 amazon.com gift card but have run out of things to install. What I like about this program is that it isn't limited to the US. Works fine on my canadian account. (though anything you redeem goes to american stuff)

Hmmm, you should be able to install all of the episodes as soon as you purchase the season pass. I downloaded episodes 2 and 3 before I finished the first one without any issues. Click 'Episodes' and there should be an option that says 'Get'. Click that and they should download.
 
Should I buy the original Groove Coaster or does Zero make that obsolete?

EDIT: Also tried Reflec Beat from the OP. This device is my new rhythm game machine.

EDIT2: Nvm about my first question. It was like only $3 so I just bought it... Thanks anyways if you even read this post.

Personally I'm waiting for:

Battle of the Bulge (submitted, expected before the Christmas lockdown).
God of Blades update
I'm mildly curious about the Baldur's Gate port, more for future original projects than the game itself, which I know to death having already completed it several times back in the days. I may bite if the new original content is avaible from the very beginning (but it's unlikely).
Other things I'm looking for are not so imminent (Clash of Heroes LOL, Warhammer Quest, Tiny Thief, others...).
 
Does Puzzle Craft "end"? I'm level 27 and my screen in pretty full, 2 buildings upgrades and then my castle upgrade is all that's left plus flowers, fountains and such. Still a few people to hire but need to build castle to get more bodies...
 
Should I just buy all the CAVE shooters on iOS? Dodonpachi and Espgaluda 2 seem like the most popular ones but how are the others? How often do they go on sale?

Yeah, once you get your castle you are done and dusted.
 
The free app spin site isn't working for me. I've played this shitty sea birds game for way more than 30 seconds and it still won't give me the spins.

Freeappslots gives you free iTunes and Amazon gift cards (and even iOS devices) in return for trying out free apps. It's a lot like free my apps except there's luck involved with the slot machine, they give you significantly more "money", on average, for each game you try and there are better prizes available (specifically retina iPads, iPad minis and iPod touches). After 1 day I'm 12% of my way to an iPad on 1 of my iOS devices, and 8% on the other! To confirm that it really works, I used a fraction of my credits on a $2 amazon gift card, and it did.

If you click the link below to get started then both you and I get 5 extra spins (you get from $0.015 to $200 worth of credits per spin).
http://freeappslots.com/enduser/fas/splash.htm?refcode=55uodego

Also you get 2 bonus spins per day even if you don't try any of the free apps.

Edit: Use Safari on iOS.

What great releases are coming this week?

I guess Modern Combat 4? But I will skip that game, I'm content with Shadowgun: Deadzone I think, for now.

I personally would have waited on a sale for Groove Coaster given how much of its content reappears in Groove Coaster Zero, but it's still a solid buy.

Have you tried jukebeat? The content store in that game is hopefully what Rb+'s store should look like in a year's time.

Baldur's Gate coming in two days right? It will be my first time playing it.

Well.
Technically the game was already approved by Apple (yeah!) BUT they discovered a last minute crash bug on iPad 1 so, bar Apple expedite update approval, it's hard to say if they will be in the AppStore as planned.

Star Command is absolutely fantastic, I can't wait for that one. I had forgot what the name of that game was.

I just looked and the first mention of it I believe is March 28, 2011, assuming it doesn't come out til 2013 thats almost a 2 year dev cycle for an iphone game, which is a bit worrying.

Dont get me wrong it looks awesome and I'm always down for kairosoft like games, but I just want it to come out already haha
 
Man I burnt myself out on burrito bison and burrito bison 2 so hard when it was a flash game. Probably put 8 hours into both games combined, which is a shit-load for a flash game. If anyone else hasn't played it I totally recommend grabbing it. Just forewarning though that it's one of those super addicting ones that you won't want to put down until you unlock everything.

NOOOOOO! That was meant to be the saving grace for this piss-poor month! Bastards.

Gonna update the OP soon with games from the past week, what was good? Seems its been very slow recently. Gonna add Groove Coaster Zero for sure.
 
I picked up Bastion after it went universal and started playing it on iPhone 5, really enjoy it so far. Makes for a good mobile game because each area you go to (so far) only takes a few minutes to get through, definitely need headphones though as most mobile games I tend to just play without sound.

Sorry, didn't wanted to shatter hopes.
To be fair...there is still hope...maybe they already found the bug, submitted an update and Apple fast approves it (already happened in the past).
So far they were active on Twitter, but not about the bug...so I SUPPOSE it has been resolved.
All twitter activity is about the PC preloading stuff and what is NOT in at release (like cloud saves).

I loved the Baldur's Gate series back in the days, I still have all the Collector's editions...I'm VERY CURIOUS about how it will be rated by new generations....so many gameplay differences with today's games...

I'm wondering about that one. I've backed their kickstarters and some of their statements conflict and other developers have called them out on some things. Plus they will commit to one thing and then back out of it. I don't think they are doing this for devious ends but clearly they are mismanaged. For example they said their target release date for the PC version was August 2012. They had another kick starter, took in more money. towards the end of October the developers came out and said they haven't even started on the PC version and won't until after the hand held version ships which by all accounts isn't happening for a couple of months at best.

So, I'm mostly looking forwards to middle management of justice.

Yup, nothing left to build or buy but flowers now.. My reward from castle bumped me over level 29. HIGHLY recommend to everyone, get your Puzzle Craft on people!

Back to 100000 I suppose, what to play next is always a chore. :) Been mixing in Zombiewood and Monster Shooter, love those kinda Age of Zombies type games.
 
I'm thinking about Street Fighter X Tekken or The Room right now.

I like pick up and play games, as I tend to play a game for maximum 5 minutes before quitting it and then coming back to it once in a while.

Sfxt is junk. If you don't have sf4 volt or kof-i get those instead.
 
Alright, I'll probably get The Room.

Which big games are left for this year?

Real Racing 3
Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition
Jet Set Radio
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City
 
Wait, there's a new Groove Coaster out? I've got to get on that!

I haven't actually paid much attention to iOS in general for a while; I should take a look and see if there's anything interesting that came out over the past few months.
