Also AppZapp. It often lists games free before they get on Appshopper (though AppZapp has no web interface).Remy said:

So I bought Scribblenauts. I'm pretty sure my iPod is too old for it (think it's second-gen, lol) but at 69p it's worth just having it their for when I hopefully get something better.
Goddamn! So far I got Peggle (was already in my GC account as I used to play it on someone else's device), ShadowGun, Street Fighter Volt and GP Story. I'd get World of Goo but I finished it on the Wii and I'm still on the fence about Lara Croft Guardian of Light and Jelly Defense.
edit: thinking about Contre Jour too, I remember one gaffer enjoying it a lot. I'll probably end up buying everything so lol.

Was thinking about buying Contre Jour. read the description... Blurring the lines between games and interactive art... Oh fuck off! Blurring the lines between homage and flatout plagiarism is more like it, the game doesn't seem to have an original idea to call its own and the pretentious first line has turned me right off it.

Really wish SFIV Volt was Universal. Tough to play it in it's current state on the iPad.
All these $0.99 sales...man. I have no interest in Scribblenauts or Shadowgun but I might jump in at those prices.

Scribblenaughts, World of Goo, & Jelly Defense for me.
I keep buying iOS games and I have not even tried half of them. I really have to stop reading this thread.

Woke up to the pleasant AppShopper alert of Bumpy Road being on sale.
Absolutely love this game, but wish there was some way to hear that lovely song from the trailer.
Noticed on the new sales Shift 2 Unleashed is also .99, if anyone is interested in that.

Couldn't resist Shadowgun and Scribble at those prices. Excited to finally give em a shot.
Looks like the "everything will be 99 cents one day, just wait or play something else instead" strategy is still relevant.

Definitely Bike Baron.Shaneus said:
There's also Trials Xtreme 2 (Not the same Trials series...I don't think) and Flip Riders.
Alexios
Cores, shaders and BIOS oh my!
So, nobody can recommend a good gyroscope based game like a first person shooter or whatever else (not a racing game, I already have one, and love it, and want to know how such motion controls work for camera type control) but preferable one that doesn't come from Gameloft? I'd think more games would wanna use that feature... Or is everyone really sticking with using just virtual dual sticks for such games and can't know how good different gyroscope implementations have been?

Rage HD uses it, seemed fun for the 5 mins i spent trying it out. You do look a bit of a tit standing in your room spinning around though.

Well aren't there different sensitivity options, so you can have it set either true to life so that you actually need to spin 180 to look behind you (I'd like to try it like that for a while too) or increase it and then need much smaller movements but still have it remain intuitive and natural?Jedeye Sniv said:

New update for Bike Baron! A new biker and 8 extra tracks!
Alextended said:
Rage HD does indeed make excellent use of it and it works perfectly for the game but partially because it is on rails and more of a Time Crisis-like game, not a real fps. Other fps's (like the Gameloft ones) use the dual sticks with gyro 'assist'. The idea is that you mainly use the sticks and do the more precise adjustments in aiming with gyro and it works decently. You CAN just ignore the sticks and only use gyro and that's a lot of fun but it's also exhausting and you will get owned in the multiplayer cause for some reason it ends up being harder than using it in addition to the sticks.
Bought all the games I was considering in my previous post + Bumpy Road. Even after I convert from dollars to my currency it's still within how much I spend in a single fast food trip, haha.
The only thing I'm not even considering getting is Scribblenauts, I've had my share of the sandbox mode with the first game on the DS and the actual game/controls part is well... I know it's supposed to be better in this (?) but I don't really feel like finding out (I remember someone saying the iOS version is missing the gold star rankings too and that it cuts down the actual challenge).

Gorgeous graphics and nice performance on iPhone 4. The levels are pretty much disguised corridors with various places to duck behind while you take out enemies. It's fun, but I wouldn't call it diverse.
The controls work well because the movement is handled with a touch anywhere stick, so anywhere you put your left thumb is where the movement disc is placed. My annoyance is the fire button on the right, it's a bit low. Luckily you can move the button wherever you want, so once you customize the controls it'll feel better (if you're like me).
It's gorgeous, it's shocking for a phone, it's fun. It's just not deep. Definitely worth getting, and I'd award it status as a game iOS gamers should show off.
I've probably played 5+ hours of Zombieville 2 this week. The upgrade and perk systems are so damn good, I'm addicted to just grinding for money to max out different setups (which are all unique and really cool). Co-op is actually really seamless and well done. I hope they add more content, I love this game.
Epoch is great fun but had a lot of trouble with the last boss. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, you breeze through each level and then there's a giant difficulty spike for the last encounter it seems.
