Oh weird, thought it was an acronym for something, haha.
Risk?
Carcassonne is a lightweight abstract tactical eurogame.
You can see the full rules here or play the in-game tutorial: http://www.riograndegames.com/uploads/Game/Game_48_gameRules.pdf
It is way more ruthless than Risk if you know what you're doing though.

I agree.
Btw... I've always found it really hard to get into DoDonPachi Resurrection, I used to find it frustrating to have to deal with slightly complex gameplay/scoring mechanics while you're already being overwhelmed by the immensely gorgeous bullet heaven... Today, it somehow suddenly 'clicked', I now 'get' it AND HOLYWHATTHESHIT THIS IS AMAZING.

Hey guys I have a question. If you "purchase" an app that went free, but since has gone back to being paid for, can you still redownload it for free?

Square has a bunch of stuff like Final Fantasy 1 and 2, Secret of Mana, Chaos Rings (not sure if under $10), etc.
Oh man this thread is dangerous! Brought too many apps in 2010, part of my resolution this year is to cut down on purchasing apps (free ones are OK). So it's good to see Crosslogic and Death Worm were free today.
Any games that will keep me hooked for a long time that are free and don't have ads? I just want to settle with one long story based game instead of the timewasters that I usually have. I have Broken Sword as part of the free iTunes thing and that seems great so far but already played it on the PC many times.

I bought ME during EA's .99 cent sale. Not terribly impressed with it, to be honest. But if anyone can snag it for free, do so.the TMO said:

I'm gonna give Chaos Rings a try. I see it has some pretty good reviews. Also got Deathworm and I've had Game Dev Story for awhile also and need to put time into that also.

Interesting factoid: This is that game that inspired Super Mega WormXater said:

And having now played both I'd say Super Mega Worm is the far better game.
Aralon HD is really growing on me. It isn't perfect, sometimes I accidentally lock onto chests during combat, sometimes I accidentally use my 'pick lock' skill instead of my 'backstab' and I don't know why all the menu windows are shrunk to 1x iphone size, but none of that is stopping me from getting immersed in the little world they've created.

Excellent, now Mirrors Edge is free I can play it on iPad. 
I have an Ipod touch 1st gen and I was just wondering what 2d games would you recommend. The newer, 3d graphics drain my battery life way to fast.
Right now I have
tilt to live- My favorite most addictive ipod game yet.
plants vs zombies- My second favorite game,
Geo defense- a fun simple tower defense game
zenonia- a fun rpg/legend of zelda type game
My tastes are open, I like anything.

If any of you guys (or ladies) haven't downloaded Pizza Boy yet, you are really missing out. A recent update added new levels, also. The cool thing about the addition is that the new levels are only unlocked when you find a hidden key in any regular level. It kind of reminds me of the star levels from super Mario world. Awesome platforming, wonderful controls, and nails the Mario physics. Buy it!

It's 3/4s of a truly excellent game, but it does fall short in some semi-important ways.
It's still by far the best game of its type, but that's only because there are so few of them.
On second thought, despite being turn-based, I think it's safe to classify The Quest together with Aralon, and The Quest basically destroys all other CRPGs on the iPhone.
I finished Aralon at level 50 (the cap), in about 30 hours. It's a very cool experience that will likely get perfected in later updates. I hope it sees a few expansions as well. The combat, skills, and class systems are VERY half-baked though. There are also some surprisingly poorly thought out issues, such as no apparent way to un-break the game if you make the mistake of going outlaw and saving over your file(s). Melee combat is thoroughly broken once you realize that you can steadily retreat from your foes to safely attack them while watching them whiff 9 attacks out of 10. There are also a couple of odd half-baked areas that are clearly intended for future content, but currently make for some jarring dead-ends. The Hill Giant Den and the Goblin Village come to mind. Not to mention that I can't help but feel that the lairs of the Ice Elemental Queen and Fire Elemental King were meant for more.
But it's a neat little world with some very satisfying adventuring and questing to be had. The set pieces also get nicer as you progress, with some enjoyable multi-floor dungeons to explore and hack through. It's not a 5 hour game. And it'll undoubtedly only get better with time and support.
As some of you have mentioned, Mirror's Edge is free in some regions.
Happy confirm that it is also free in Australia

...hate me...
21/23 achievements on FKF!
I was getting desperate with one that you have to hit the skill zone 9 times in a row. Fuck!
Now only "Smashed!" and "Stampede!" to go. Not quite sure how to do them though.
I have hit bullseyes on 3 moving targets "in a row", I mean there were static targets in-between them, is that why it didn't count?
On the one that you have to get 100 defenders down - is it on a single play?

Of course it has nothing to do with the depth of the games mentoned above, but
I Must Run! (Canabalt-like game) is simple, addictive and free atm (iirc)

I just don't understand how come Bit Trip HD is never mentioned in iPAD's best games lists.
I mean, it's 0,79 when I happily paid 10 for the Wiiware version which features worse gfx, fewer levels, no achievements and so on.
The game is a gem, gameplay, graphics, MUSIC... everything is top notch.
Although I still find the Wiiware version to be superior and essential because of its perfect tilt controls, this game easily sits in my top 5 iPAD experiences.

Given it is the season, I'll just add that Cricket Captain 2010 on the iPhone is pretty damn sweet. It's a little buggy, and is a bit prone to hard crashing back to the home screen, but apparently a fix has been handed to Apple and should be up soon.
But if you've ever played an ICC on the PC before, you know what you're getting into. I'm currently 3/4 through my first season as captain/coach of Victoria Bushrangers, with Hodgey and White going gangbusters. Well implemented version of a great management game.
On that note, (and I said this much over in the GAF GOTY thread) Football Manager 2011 is absolutely tremendous. SIGames have out done themselves with it.
While I'm on the praise wagon, I'll throw my support behind Dungeon Hunter 2, with one big caveat: the lack of multiplayer on my partners' 3g iPhone is a massive bummer. It runs well enough in single player, so hopefully they can patch in some local wifi or BT for us.
Oh and to whomever it was who recommended Disc Drivin' - thanks. It's a beauty!

This is why I'm afraid to play with people in the official Carc thread. I don't quite grasp the concept of the game enough (mostly scoring) to really get into heavy strategic games - and especially lingo like "double steals".AstroLad said:
suck it!
(i only do that kind of stuff if a blatant opportunity presents itself -- otherwise i try to be very nice and cooperative, especially in 4p games! i almost never try double steals and the like!)
oh no worries about that. i just made it up to refer to the kind of aggressive play and city-stealing that i am morally opposed to.
if you read the tabletop manual i can almost guarantee you will know the mechanics of the game inside-out: http://www.riograndegames.com/uploads/Game/Game_48_gameRules.pdf. it's literally easier to learn than most mainstream board games. the only somewhat tricky part is the farm scoring which is explained in great detail on page 4 and then again on b2
