Weird that appshopper.com didn't notify me that Chaos Rings was on sale. For $6 I bought it, that's the lowest price it's ever been. I probably would have bought it at full price if I ran out of things to play because the game looks like something I'd pay $30-40 for on DS/PSP.
I'm debating getting Resident Evil 4 Platinum. It's only a dollar, which is silly to debate, but I'm so torn. On one hand I LOVE Resident Evil 4 and think the controls work well, on the other hand I'm not sure about how it's split into section and the game feels like a weak effort. I'll play the demo a lot this afternoon to help decide, if anyone wants to chime in with their experiences with it feel free.

Any chance you already got it? (You could have done an update all recently?). Maybe turn off/on Wifi, and also the iPad itself.

Pretty sure I haven't downloaded an update for it, checking now though.
I'm on iPhone though, doubt that'd make a difference with it being a universal app though would it?
Fake edit: Nope no new helmet or anything.
Neither the Aralon nor the Infinity Blade updates were popping up for me. Not in iTunes, nor on the iPhone's App Store. The new version was posted, and the stores recognized that I still had the old ones installed, but I wasn't getting an update prompt on either service.
I wound up simply downloading them fresh from iTunes and sync'ing them over to my iPhone. That worked, though IB kept on force-crashing to desktop at the Unreal logo screen. A simple reboot of the iPhone fixed that.
Decided to start a new character in Aralon since I didn't particularly feel like going back to see what new quests and whatnot were added to areas I had already cleared. I had fun tinkering with my mage, but now I'm going the warrior route. Before dropping my old character, I did double-check to see if the update fixed the broken story quest in Callaheim. It did, so it's nice to be able to progress beyond that point.

I was on the fence for a week, but I'm glad I bought it.Ledsen said:
It could use some polish, but it's good stuff for sure.
Just bought Age of Zombies. Was waiting for the inevitable 0.99 sale.
Kinda bummed to see that Chaos Rings dropped half the price one week after I bought it, but I guess this kind of thing happens all the time. Win some, lose some. :lol
Hey, at least more people can experience this great game.
If you're thinking of Ravensword: The Fallen King (or something like that), then Aralon is not a sequel to it. Heck, the core game was developed by another team entirely. The Ravensword folks did, however, help out with development, in particular juicing up the visuals. I think TouchArcade has some nice before/after screenies and trailers comparing the various builds.
Aralon is pretty excellent so far, though. I think it is safe to say that it's a spiritual successor to Ravensword's gameplay, as it seems to fulfill the promise Ravensword aspired to but didn't quite manage to deliver upon.
You should know better re: Gameloft. They don't just rip off gameplay and concepts, but names too! Their Final Fantasy rip-off is called Eternal Legacy. Which actually works on multiple levels. The name manages to evoke comparisons with Final Fantasy and suggests that Gameloft's legacy shall eternally be known as one of rip-offery. *chuckles*

Dag nabit, why do they do this???Reese-015 said:
I bought it during their $3 sale last week because I figured that was it for their Christmas sale. I haven't even gotten the chance to play the game yet! How aggravating!
Oh well, $2 out. Not really worried about it, it's more just the principle that bothers me.

Is Queen's Crown as good as it looks? Because it looks slicker than all those bad iOS arpgs.

I've previewed mine a total of 5 minutes but it is way more fluid and feels better than games like Zenonia 2.mattiewheels said:

I was thinking about gifting a game to a friend, but I was I never bought anything on iTunes (despite having an account). There's some kind of way to be sure that I'm not buying him a game that he already has? Will iTunes warn me?
Also, some raccomandation (non-action JRPG or turn based strategical)...I was thinking about Song Summoner or GameDev Story
thanks in advance

I only played Song Summoner on the 5th gen iPods....it was not great. GameDev Story is an amazingly addictive game...it's a little short but absolutely worth it.
Ledsen said:Hm, how do I know if I have the updated version of Aralon? Played for about 20 min, seems awesome so far
I haven't found an in-game version indicator, surprisingly.
But you can just pop into the App Store to see if you have 2.00 or 2.12 installed.
If the price/buy button shows buy, then you're probably still on 2.00.
If it says installed, you're on 2.12 (or whatever the new version number is).

Don't really get the gameloft hate, when other developers start creating / porting games to the iOS platform of comparative quality to their console counterparts then sure but otherwise gameloft is one of the only companies making an effort to bring a console type games to the iOS platform. It's pretty bad when their efforts control better and lately look better than EA or Capcom's offerings.
Just my opinion man.
Just my opinion man.
gameloft pretty much all that can be said is that they are the best console ripoffs out there. and they're very good console ripoffs for iOS games because other iOS console ripoffs are literally garbage. it cracks me up though when people start comparing them to the actual console versions. give me a fucking break. not even close.
I just got an iphone 4. Upgraded from a 3G. Been having problems.
-I re-download Chaos Rings to see if it runs smoother than it did on the 3G and it does but ummm...the sound effects drop out within the first min or two of play and never come back. wtf.
-I buy Dodonpachi Ressurection and the game doesn't even work. It gives me a blank white screen at the title screen and I can't do anything.
Is gaming on the iphone 4 this glitchy? Buying a game for $9-10 that doesn't even boot is pretty bullshit.

How is Asphalt 6? I enjoyed 4 and 5, is it just more of the same?

This was fixed in the most recent patch (from like 4 months ago). The initial retina upgrade/patch had those errors, and 2-3 weeks later another update was released fixing it. I pretty much played the entire game on that update and had no problems.
Dondon may just need to be force shut and restarted, there's occasionally issues with OF or something.
I've never once had to restart my iPhone 4 to get an game to work, even after an update (I don't even close the game or anything).
Not too bad. Decent looking but a bit repetitive and very linear. Controls could be a bit unresponsive at times, but overall I had fun upgrading and climbing stuff.heringer said:
It's a decent run-and-poke-stuff-with-a-stick game. But I wouldn't really recommend it outside this sale.
