I really enjoyed it. And unlike the iPhone version, it's very playable on the iPad.

Count me in for the Fruit Ninja tournament.

Me too

Is Pizza boy worth the money or should I wait for a price drop/deal?

Just find the lack of turn based strat games to be sad...

Coming from PSN pricing with the PSP, getting a solid platformer for $1.99 isn't a big deal at all.

I think it's worth the $1.99, plus the support will hopefully enable the development team to create more content. The controls and art style are fantastic. It's probably about as close to a Mario-feel as you can get.

What's the difference, says under compatibility iPad in the descriptions (serious question).

What's the difference, says under compatibility iPad in the descriptions (serious question).

The iPad is pretty much compatible with 99% of the iPhone/iPod touch apps, though they will run upscaled (or with a huge black border around).

Real iPad apps or the ones with a plus sign (universal binaries) run on the iPad at full resolution.

I figured something like that after thinking a bit more. If at some point Retina supported iPhone apps run at full resolution on the iPad as well, I guess that'd help split the difference. On that size screen, I could see it being pretty jarring to have the low res app, or play in a window... thanks.

WARNING!!!!! If you have Monkey Island 2 DON'T UPDATE!! it deletes your save files.

I'm now 27th in the world in Drop 7 Hardcore mode. I'm so happy ;_;

IT RUINS THE ICON! Damn, the first one was so much better.

Man, I'm jonesin' for more Highborn - can't wait for the new chapters!

No, that wouldn't really help. The interfaces and HUD's need to be redesigned for the larger screen. Otherwise you end up with giant analog sticks and buttons.

My game pages. Not all shown because the folders don't show every single game inside.

Hey, what's that on the bottom left in your Dragonz folder?

Looks like Sliding Heroes...I mainly remember it cause it went free once.

I propose a thread title change:

The Apple iOS Gaming Thread Of It's Probably Free or 99¢

Shore up all the devices a bit in the current title. ^_^

Il agree, simply because I'm not terribly fond of the current title.

 

[YagizY]

Does the first Monkey Island get updated with retina resolution? I know the second one did but has the first?

 

[OneEightZero]

In news that would fit the proposed title, Aftermath is free for today. ^_^

And version 1.2 of EpicWin has dropped as well.

 

[McBacon]

I wanna point you guys to http://iphone.qualityindex.com/ - Quality Index.

It's like Metacritic for iPhone games and makes some good recommendations of what's hot and new on the front page.

 

[DyslexicAlucard]

Anyone else totally dying for Final Fantasy Tactics to come out?

I swear I search for it 10 times a day. . .

 

[soldat7]

I don't think so, but I bought at .99 in the hopes that it would at some point.

Very clever. Where have I seen it before?

Just so you know, it's date has been changed to TBA, so don't expect it any time soon.

Anyone know when the next Phoenix Wright is due?

Awesome link. Thanks

In the spirit of 0.99¢, eBoy FixPix is half off. Looks like once you're done though, there's no replay. Comments on this one, gaf?

 

[OneEightZero]

I know. It's a strange dichotomy. ^_^

 

[xbhaskarx]

We can do this - in fact, it would be a great test bed for future, larger scale tournaments that might be possible via Game Center. I am happy to offer prizes. However, I will need some help from you guys.

What's the best way to organise GAF tournaments? Should it have its own thread, or put it within the Fruit Ninja thread (could do some awesome bump on that) or just do it within here?

Would someone want to take on the role of an official organiser/contestant registrar?

Anything else we should be aware of?

You guys should organize it, more people will care if it's an official thing you're doing than if some random person here starts it. Bump the Fruit Ninja thread.
I'm in even without prizes but that would be pretty cool.

 

[hosannainexcelsis]

Looking at the New and Noteworthy list, I see several interesting-looking games that I hadn't heard about before. Anyone have any experience with Romance of the Three Kingdoms Touch, the Gamebook Adventures series, or Kowa-Oto?

 

[Blackace]

I am still fairly noon to the whole iPad gaming scene... But it seems like the store doesn't allow you to search for games by genre....

 

[POWERSPHERE]

So is there any games of note using Game Center yet?

 

[McBacon]

Go to iTunes Store in iTunes
Click the App Store tab
Click games
At the bottom right, you'll find genres.

Don't think you can do it from the iPad itself.

An update for Angry Birds has been submitted. Check out Saving Private Sheep, it's a good 99c game with GC support.

Fruit Ninja

Plenty more games to receive updates along the way as noted above (Angry Birds, etc.)

Fruit Ninja doesn't have leaderboards or achievements yet.

If you like Poker, Glu's Hold-em is good and fully supports GC.
