Which version of Flick Kick Football is the real version? I'm talking about the soccer game.

PikPok's Flick KICK Football, not Flick Football.

 

[AirBrian]

I seriously hope they release a roomier iPhone already. This 32gb isn't hacking it when you have as much music and games as I do. No, I don't want to leave games and music off so don't recommend it.

This.

I was really hoping we'd get a 64GB this release. :-(

 

[RuneFactoryFanboy]

Just when I thought I was free from this sales evil clutches, I notice Hybrid 2 is part of it as well. For $2 I have to impulse.

How is Super Mega Worm? I've been on the fence about it for quite some time.

I like it. it's fun. I got better at it when they added d-pad controls (instead of a slider) and it really picks up in the chaos once you level up a few times.

I bought it yesterday, and I'm not really digging it It's pretty, and the concept is cool - but the controls are a bit awkward and I'm not a fan of the way the play sessions go (not really a game I would fire up and play for a few minutes)

 

[HBP]

Holy Shit lol

Bought

Super Mega Worm
Mirrors Edge
Assassins Creed 2
ARDefender
Puzzle Agent


Thinking about

NHL2K11
FIFA11
Final Fantasy

 

[RavenFox]

Got my I-Touch 4 [updated from ipod] and loving it. Espgaluda 2 is *drools*. Finished it while sitting in the john lol and continued to play on the train to work. Never thought I would love touch controls in a schump so much. It just works.

 

[Mr Cola]

Other than tiger woods 10 i havent got another sports game yet, toying with fifa11 but not so sure. Other than that in all my research no sports games have jumped out as being must buys, at least not according to the review sites ive been on so far.

It's awesome isn't it?

I 'roll' my fingertip rather than sliding and I find it second only to arcade sticks for precise control. It's a real shame that there aren't many other decent shooters out.

 

[dark10x]

Does the port of Final Fantasy actually run at the proper 60 fps? Would be a shame if they halved the framerate. I know, it's not necessary for this type of game, but it enhances the 2D graphics immensely.

It feels like it runs at 60... Lemme go double check, though.
Yeah. I'm pretty sure it runs at 60.

Most games cap the framerate at 30 to deal with the fact that it's battery-powered hardware. 60 is the exception.

Tell me about it. Dodonpachi is next.

Yes, in a tight spot I always roll and find I can move with pixel precision.

Sometimes I like Espgaluda2 more and sometimes DDP. When I get sick of the laser chaos of DDP I find the relative simplicity of ESP2's patterns more enticing. Both have been my most played games since I got the touch 4.

Btw, these things are success stories, so we'll see more from them at least. Cave tweeted this yesterday to a request for more ports:

We will! Let us know what games you want to see in the future in our next user survey (coming soonish).

OMFG you can't be for real. It's Final Fantasy ONE. Are you feeling OK?

 

[RBH]

Ended up buying Mirror's Edge and Tiger Woods 10.

Still keeping an eye on FIFA 11.

 

[Minsc]

Load up Zenonia, and see what a poor framerate does to a game with a scrolling 2D background. Besides, it's dark10x, there's standards to be met.

 

[dark10x]

OMFG you can't be for real. It's Final Fantasy ONE. Are you feeling OK?

Hah, yeah, you're right. What was I thinking. I just want a 2D RPG that runs at 60 fps.

2D games with low framerates (like Zenonia) look awful. Can't stand playing them.

I have my new ipod touch for a week, and already I have 15+ games, amazing. The Popcap games are obviously brilliant, love flight control and angry birds. Diner Dash is pretty addicting. Even downloaded MunkySmash to help that posters brother here.

Could I get some impressions of Mirrors Edge?

Guys, I just bought UFO On Tape for 99 cent. It uses the Gyroscope for precision control and you actually control the video, there's no graphics per se. The concept is simple, a UFO has popped up in the sky and you need to record it without losing it out of sight. The objective is to record it for as many seconds as you can and thus getting on the high-score list. Addicting game so far I must say. =)

It gets intense because birds are in the sky, and as you are sitting in a car (I think) you drive by trees and buildings and can easily lose it.

 

[Dacvak]

Swipe-based controls feel natural, but not quite as tactile as button controls. It's fun for what it is, which is a side-scrolling 2D racing platformer.

Worth 2 bucks? Definitely.

Plus, Lisa Miskovsky's Still Alive plays in its entirety upon starting the app. Bonus.

I was playing Monkey Island 2 on a friend's iPhone, but I found I hated the feel of the touchscreen. It's a personal 'nails on chalkboard' thing I have- the feel of touchign my fingers on touchscreens makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up.

I grabbed my DS Stylus figuring that'd fix it, but it doesn't register at all.

I know eventually everything is gonna be touch-screen based, and while I hate the idea, I have to accept it and adapt eventually.

Any ideas? Could I cut of a homeless man's finger and use it to operate the touch screen?

 

[soldat7]

can anyone vouch for Doom 2 RPG? at one point i was interested in it but i didnt really care for wolfenstein rpg despite liking Orcs and Elves.

Are we ever getting an iPhone version of this?

Ah, I see. So it works because the stylus has a rubber tip? Forgive my ignorance, but why is it that the DS Stylus doesn't work? Would anything rubber work as a makeshift stylus?

Right now, I have an iPod Touch (64 GB) that I'm using with iTunes (all games/apps I have bought/downloaded are synced to the Touch). I ordered an iPhone 4 today; will the apps I have bought earlier also sync to the iPhone?

I have no idea, to be honest. I just know that they're not perfect.

That sounds pretty cool. Can you save 'tapes' and share them? What does the interface look like? BW grainy w blinking red light?

Others:
Geowars works well on iPad, was in the top 100 for a while for king and pacifism. Haven't really tried it on iPhone yet.

Oh, and super mega worm is awesome but I currently suck at it.

this thread and the last few pages are cute

 

[bjork]

Glorious day. I'm glad I clicked on this thread and went 'why are people posting about buying more than one game at once?' and went back a page or two. I snapped up a bunch of stuff I'd been waiting for drops on. Now I'm good for months.

I don't think you can share or even save your plays. It's a really simple game.
The interface is not black/white but it's grainy and it's really like watching a home video with the voice acting and effects. Immersive is the right word for this one.

 

[Lord Error]

this thread and the last few pages are cute

You know what else is cute? Playing a steady stream of innovative and interesting games that don't cost an arm and a leg to buy. And from time to time getting stuff that kicks the shit out of other entries in its genre on any other platforms like Dodonpachi or Espgaluda 2, or Monkey Island Remakes - again for very cheap.

Yes, I think you can authorize like 5 devices or something to share the same apps/movies/tv shows.

Unlimited devices, 5 computers. Pretty reasonable if you ask me.

Everyone go check this out. It's worth 99 cents just for being different.
It's surprisingly realistic and immersive, and it has a Game Center leaderboard.

I asked this a few pages back but didn't get an answer. Are there any games that utilize your playlist into the gameplay? I know of Song Summoner already. Any others?

 

[Tobor]

Ah, I see. So it works because the stylus has a rubber tip? Forgive my ignorance, but why is it that the DS Stylus doesn't work? Would anything rubber work as a makeshift stylus?

All iOS devices use a capacitive screen made of glass. They measure the electrical resistance from your fingers to register input. The DS uses a resistive screen, which has sensors imbedded under the plastic to measure contact where the screen flexes. The downside to resistive screens is that they look like crap, and are made of very scratchable plastic.

You need a special stylus that mimics the electrical resistance of your finger for capacitive screens, the DS stylus is just plastic.

 

[dark10x]

They also require you to put real pressure on the screen while capacitive screens register even the lightest of touches.

 

[BeeDog]

Thanks for the fast reply. Not to sound doubtful or anything, but do you perhaps have a link that discusses/confirms this?
