re: Extreme Road Trip 2 notifications... I have never got a single notification from that game. Perhaps turn it off under Notifications? I don't see why you'd need them in the first place for the game; the ghosts of your friends' racers still load regardless.
Can't turn them off if you don't have the game.
 
Machinarium is really disappointing on iPad. Doesn't run at a very nice resolution. Would be much nicer with backgrounds that properly scale to its native res. There are way too many scaling artifacts.

Which iPad? It looked perfect on iPad 2 but I haven't tried it on iPad 3 yet. Still an awesome experience regardless of scaling imo.
 
Sounds like Happy Street to me. I don't know why I keep coming back but I just do, haha.
Happy Street is the fucking nuts. And look what just happened!

Really enjoying Letterpress, but I keep coming up with ridiculous words* and then people forfeit (possibly because they think I am cheating).

*E.g.
Sultanry
Papalists
Wigwams
Narwhals
 
What... is it? Mind explaining? Looks a bit like Pokemon to me. Please don't tell me it;s like that Rage of Bahamoth crap.

Well it's kind of like a Pokémon x Puzzle Quest x dungeon crawling game thing, and it's like, by far the most popular iOS games in Japan since it's basically crack.

I... uh... downloading.

dling, aren't there a few games that look really similar to these on the app store? like jewel dragon.

I just used all my stamina with not understanding the ramifications.

FYI - Each dungeon costs a certain amount of stamina points(s). If you don't have stamina, you don't get to play the game. One stamina point will regenerate about once every 10 minutes or you can reset stamina with a findable item, or you can buy the item via in app purchase to reset stamina.
 
Okay I'm looking for a Word/Spelling game that I think I saw on Kotaku a few days ago. There's a grid of random red/blue coloured tiles and you try and make words against your opponent. It looked pretty good and I think it's relatively new?

Any help?

Letterpress, probably. We mention it approximately 20x per page. :P

Sounds like Letterpress.
 
Really hooked on extreme road trip 2. Just cracked the top 15 on my friend list, aprox 400 of you guys on my list :)

This game is the perfect 1 more time type game, where you pick it up and 2 hours later your left wondering"where did the time go"

Anyone wanna challenge me, my GC name is dantehemi

I saw your GC challenge and thus I don't like you. Stop sending challenge please, people, it's really annoying to those who don't even have the game :lol
 
What a sec, I have to pay 2$ for path of the Jedi levels in angry birds Star Wars. Fucking bullshit.

I didn't realize Rovio's games weren't universal until after I bought the iPhone version. I just got an iPad Mini and I probably wouldn't have bought or just bought the iPad version if I knew this before :[

I know it's my own fault for not reading the details but I just figured it would be.
 
I just tried Puzzles and Dragons. Feels like a weak Puzzle Quest knockoff mixed with a weak Pokemon knockoff. Didn't have much fun with it. I also didn't like that it doesn't rotate the screen if I flip my Mini (I prefer the speaker to be on top), and it also leaves the iPads display on the screen at all times (date, battery etc). Graphically very attractive though.
 
Never knew that when you send a challenge, it spams my whole list... I will not send challenges out anymore.

Goddamn it Dante I was just about to fall asleep and then DA DA DA DA D'DAA game centre notification went off and scared the shit out of me! Lol I thought you weren't sending any more?
 
walking dead YAY or NAY
or get it elsewhere?
It's a stunning game and the port is good but it lags on my iPad 3 at times.

It's also behind with updates so Episode 5 will probably be released a month later.

Surprisingly we got Episode 4 fairly soon(ish) after the other versions but I still wish I picked up the PC version.
 
Puzzle & Dragons is extremely bloody addictive, but why the hell does it not have notifications? Especially when it takes over 2 hours for your stamina to reach full again? Seems like such a glaring omission

Game is most likely gonna get deleted, unless I figure out how to take off these notifications!
Sorry to anyone that I have annoyed with notifications, in theory it's a great idea to challenge your friends but at what cost? It seems like this game is just one giant spam, they even make you watch a video of there other games just to get coins and stuff. If it makes anyone feel any better, I get about 100 challenges sent to my phone also, never understood why but now I see that the game is using these notifications to get new players... And that is just wrong. I was gonna suggest that this game be recognized as a November game, but scrap that... It should be placed on the wall of shame or something (but is is fun)
 
Just get it on Steam during the Christmas sales. (If you have a PC)

so spending that 4.99usd on the iOS version isn't that much of a good idea?
 
I'll be getting a 4th gen ipad tomorrow (first ios device). So I guess it being new means no games take advantage of the hardware yet huh?

I've been playing games like nova 3 and asphalt 7 on my s3 and they sometimes run at no so good framerates. Will they run better on the ipad despite the much higher resolution? And does nova 3 retain all its effects now? Last I read the ipad 3 was missing stuff.
