I'll be getting it as well. I have no problem paying $20 for a fully featured wargame on my iPad. We need more of these.

Looks amazing but each expansion is another $10. =(

Cores, shaders and BIOS oh my!
I'd rather keep it on PC alone rather than rely on that dude having a love making mood once every couple years regardless.
Where does the money go anyway, just to him or to the whole team, if there even is a team since it's basically open source...
Just curious, doesn't really affect my decision.
Oh, and I just noticed New Star Soccer doesn't even fill the whole screen on iPad, there are black bars left and right...
So yeah, he needs to tweak that and add landscape mode, please, and if he makes more packs I'll buy them (not currency).
Maybe tweak the engine too, match results often seem completely random, you could play the same match twice without changes and have the results vastly differ, from the out-of-your-control scoring to how many chances you actually get within the match.

So I've been playing Undercroft for the last hour and it's pretty awesome. Any other Eye of the Beholder like games on iOS? Preferably with deeper skill/battle system.

Jesus, that looks crazy. I will hold off for now, but its definitely something I will keep my eye on.

Battle academy and avadon look great. Hanks for the heads up. A bit pricey but vouchers can fix that up.
As for wenoth, even if i has not been updated recently it still has a massive amount of content already in there. I think it is abou the best relative value you can get.

Anyone played Radballs on the new iPad? It's not working for me
Yeah, the graphics are all messed up for me too.

League of Evil 2 will get a retina update shortly. Update will be submitted this week.
Ah man. I haven't started it up on the new iPad yet. Sucks. I love that game.

That looks good.
For a $20 game they should have lite version or in-app version to unlock the full game

I bought Civ Rev yesterday for $3. I'm super excited to have that game on the go, although I haven't played it in a couple of years, and the interface is way different than what I'm used to (I played a bunch of it on 360 a while back). I think I'll have to play the tutorial just to remember how it works.
Also, whoever suggested buying Modern Combat 3 is a jerk. What a crap game. It's a perfect example of the wrong kind of game to put in the iPhone.

What are some of the better RPGs for the iPad?(port or original) just beat FFi-iii and am waiting for 4 from amazon. Wanted to fill this time with another good rpg not in the ff series.
Avadon.

You can demo it on the PC/Mac if you like.
Not a bad game. But I usually like slitherine's titles.

Seriously, this shit is getting really annoying. What the hell do we need to do to get developers to stop doing this?
I just answered this above, but...
Guardian Saga
Ash
Crimson Gem Saga (PSP port)
Anything Square Enix (Chaos Rings is original)
Avadon
Bard's Tale (PS2 port, contains port of original Bard's Tale as well)
Avadon (iPad only)
Aralon (Action RPG)
Shining Force (Genesis port)
Phantasy Star 2 (Genesis port)
Dragon Fantasy
Wolfenstein RPG, Doom 2 RPG
Adventur Bar Story (PSP port)
edit:
Some of these arent iPad only, but fuck it I will repost this list until people stop asking for RPGs
Yeah thats what I meant, probably could have worded it better though. Had no idea thats how Infinity Blade played though...even though it still sounds fun
.Battle Academy has a PC demo. It's the same game (heck, they're cross-platform compatible, so you could play this against PC players too)
EDIT: I'll repost this, since it got ignored 5 pages back:
--------------
Slitherine/Matrix (a dedicated wargame developer/publisher) has released Battle Academy for iPad.
Now, it's 20 bucks, and xpacs (so far there's Market-Garden, Blitzkrieg France, and Operation Sealion) are 10 bucks each as IAP. But, this is a full port of a full wargame, which sells for 30 bucks + 15/xpac on PC.
This part's particularly interesting re: cross-platform play:

I think this is the first game that makes me want an iPad. I love turn-based wargaming. There's no iPhone version
Now, I haven't played the PC version myself, either, but I remember reading good things about it.
Here's a preview of the iPad version:

Here's an AAR of one of the xpacs:

Here's a review of the others:

I really hope people take note of this. I want to see more wargames on iOS.

Was just thinking about picking this up for ipad, anyone else play it yet?

wtf? It's 2012-there's no excuse for this.
Well, keeping under the 20MB 3G limit was a pretty good excuse IMO. It was the only thing that stopped us from making universal versions in most cases where it was an issue.
Now the limit is up at 50MB I'm hoping you'll see more universal apps.

There are plenty of legitimate reasons that developers don't make an app universal. 3G download limits for one. Either way it's $2 for both apps, is it really that big of a deal?

still... now universal apps need to worry about new ipad, 50mb might be a challenge.

I want one app with iCloud support so I can go from one device to the other.
As a member of the iPhone only club, universal apps do nothing but waste my space. If you want to make an iPhone only version and a universal version. Fine. But before people start screaming their head off about apps not being universal realize there is a big market for non-universal apps too.
I can't wait until these new high res iPad assets start taking up a bunch of space on my iPhone. [/sarcasm]

Nostalgia has its price.
The bigger games, like Final Fantasy 3 and Tactics, are worth it if you haven't seriously played them before. Tons of great content. Their other stuff less so.
Yes. Good old fashioned 'PBEM' (but server-based, so you don't actually have to send email).
Anyone?
If that's the third & paid iteration (and not the 4th & freemium adaptation of the 1st game), then it's supposed to be the best of the bunch mechanically and functionally. Just be prepared for some of the worst story development, character development, and writing this side of well... anything.
Wow.
To be fair that makes it sound like the story and characters are only slightly worse than GTA.
As far as story/writing goes, Gangstar 3 sets a new low... even by Gameloft standards.
It's kind of amazing.
It truly is that bad. I can't remember anything worse.
Something I've been wondering for a LONG time now: Is there FINALLY a good hockey game on iOS? All I know is the NHL 2k11 one, and then Ice Rage (which is air hockey, not real hockey). It's really confusing and disappointing that there is no hockey game, at least EA could've ported the series like they did Madden and FIFA...

Congratulations, you really deserve it!
Worse than 9mm?
Been hooked pretty bad on Draw Something for the past few days. It's so bad that I've pretty much stopped playing most of my other goto games, and instead have been playing it for 3 hours strait a time.
I was resistant at first, but after downloading Charadium II, it pains me to admit that Charadium is a much better game. The draw tools are better. There's an undo button, and when you use it or the trash button, it actually deletes that part of the drawing from the playback video (I actually like how it shows you ripping the page off in Draw Something, but I like Charadium's method more as it's better for the presentation).
There are 3 different modes. I've only played the asyncherous mode (which is untimed and lets 3 or 4 players draw at the same time, and then guess on each others' works), but there are 2 other modes which I suspect may not be asyncherous, and instead more like the FB version of Draw Something.
It was free when I grabbed it a few hours ago, not sure about now. I believe there's a free version though, and would recommend it to anyone who is currently playing Draw Something.

Yeah, we've all switched over to Charadium too. Love how the colours are available from the start. Just makes it more fun to create stuff, and in more detail.
