Has anybody here played Queen's Crown? It's currently on sale at £0.59, and reviews look very good.

Anyone played touchgrind BMX?

Yes. Geodefense is my favorite tower defense game. If it's free, everyone should give it a shotabracadaver said:geoDefense is free right now

Comic Zeal is very good, but I just fired it up after a while away and I can't believe it's still not retina.Incitemaybe said:

TapSonic (a game I've mentioned several times in this thread but it always gets ignore... not sure why) is getting a US version at some point in the near future. Official US Facebook group opened up and the company are pretty intent on bringing over all the Korean licensed songs if possible, along with all of the existing original songs and crossovers from DJMAX/2/Technika/Clazziquai/Black Square.
Game is excellent, although hopefully this time they'll market the game better. People are still too put off by the (very reasonably priced) pay-to-play model that the game takes for the most part.
In summary, if you've not already got the Korean version of the game... it may be wise to hold off for a while and get the US version, as I'm pretty sure any song tokens purchased in the Korean version won't be able to be transferred.
As an example of this oh-so-outrageously-priced pay-to-play model that people seemingly go out of their way to whinge about on the Korean AppStore:
Songs are either 15 points, 25 or 30 points to play (based on how long they are, but most songs are 15 points.) You are charged this each time you want to play the song. That seems unreasonable... but wait.
£5.99 gets you 10,000 points (which is the best value package). So for £5.99, you get at most 666 songs to play, which doesn't include the constant rotation of free songs they have available that changes at least once a week. Or, you get at least 333 songs, which are all full length Korean licenses (as well as some US licenses and EU licenses at the minute).
So yeah, expect it to stay the same when TapSonic hits the US AppStore. They did a promotion in the Korean store for the first few months where if you downloaded the game for free it would come with 300 points attached to it, however the main problem they ran into was that most of the game (similar to how DJMAX functions) was locked away and needed more than 300 points to access (4 button mode is available from the start, 10 song plays to unlock 5 button mode, 40 to unlock 6 button mode, most songs have to be unlocked sequentially, however the licensed songs are accessible at all times) leading to many bad reviews purely because of the aforementioned pay to play model.
Anyway, will let a video speak for itself, the game is awesome:

I just noticed this on the App Store: Tower Defense®: Lost Earth By Com2uS Inc.
Have Com2uS seriously trademarked the term "tower defense"? What are people going to refer to their tower defense games as now? That's insane.

Played Companions for a few hours. Has an old-school Baldur's Gate party feel. A bit clunky to move the party around but can recommend to folks who enjoy the genre.

Yeah you too since you're review consisted of "It's a classic"
Bottom line is if I don't find it fun, it has failed as a game and I find it hard to believe that the studio that brought out Canabalt brought out this drek.

Just thought I'd say that Harbour Master is one of the games I keep returning to (on the iPad). It's almost like the Tetris of touch games, with its simple mechanics, and the way in which it starts calmly and becomes more and more frantic. Just... one... more... go...
Been playing Infinity Blade multiplayer a bit with a few friends and while I was slightly underwhelmed when I first tried it out, I dig it now and it's an absolute blast (and it's even more fun when you're in the same room). What also surprised me is that the 'netcode' is really really good and the multiplayer worked very well via 3G even while I was on the train where my connection was pretty spotty.

It's way hard... Too hard? Hmmm. I do love tower defence games though, so i'll stick with it.
I bought Touchgrind BMX, kinda sucks from a BMX perspective but is kinda fun otherwise.
I'm loving the new Carcassone update with game centre additions.

Always been a fan of the PicoPico games... good shit even if hard and basic as fuck.

I have wasted much of the day on Space Miner HD. It's basically Asteroids with RPG elements, so it's easy to get really addicted, and well worth .99 cents.

That puzzle app is still #1 on the store? Why is it so huge right now? It looks pretty bland, block puzzles, woo. Is it the new thing I should get or what...
With WWDC looming, I can't be the only iOS user here extremely excited to see the platform's direction. Hopefully I won't get in trouble for this, but I'd love (as, I'm sure, would many others) for any generous GAF developers to register UDIDs in spare slots for those of us who just can't really afford to shell out $100 for beta access at the moment. I'd love to give the betas a try to do my bit to smooth out bugs. Shame I don't own a mac, or I probably would have tried iOS development for myself by now :/

I should trademark the term "First Person Shooter" and then stop people making them or they have to pay me to say that that's what their game is.

I'll trademark that too. Soon the world will be rid of their curse!

They have. It's a seriously shitty thing to do, designed to purely gain money, and means that I won't be buying their Tower Defense game. Apparently it's utterly mediocre anyway. Even TouchArcade - who are sponsored by them this month - couldn't bring themselves to give it a glowing review.

What? But TouchArcade gives everything a glowing review!
I just found out some COCKSUCKER made two $19.99 "1.5 million chips" in-app purchases on my account for some "Texas Poker" app which I don't even have.
I went on Apple's support forums and there are indeed many threads with tons of people who have been similarly jacked.
Check your Apple ID accounts and balances, everyone...
Apple better reimburse me quick or

I thought you got an email a day after each purchase. Did that not happen with IAP?TURNCLOAK said:

Comic flow sucks due to the limitations on organization. Comic Zeal is ok but has its own issues and costs far more than any other options, which tend to make me think the only reason Comic Zeal supporters are as... zealous about it is because they have to justify their purchase and refuse to pay again for a competing reader.rezuth said:
Comicglass is really good and has a ton of options and a couple ways of avoiding itunes to get comics on (moreso if you're on a mac). Bookman, which used to be free but now has ads unless you pay, is great at organizing and lets you FTP comics over; that said, it has issues with zooming. If you want free then the ad-supported Bookman is the way to go. If you don't mind paying I'd start with Comicglass.
