Does anyone have a good website to keep track of the newest iPhone games and price drops? All I have is:
http://toucharcade.com/newest-iphone-games/
But things move so fast it usually only shows the last 5 hours. So when I can't be by my computer I always feel like I miss something.

Does anyone have any good suggestions for turn based games? Examples of what I mean are like Drop7, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, and Monkey Island, basically, games where you're not in trouble if you're distracted for a second, so a game like Tetris or a shooter isn't an option.
I want more puzzle games but the majority are time based, so my searches are largely fruitless. Also I love point and click games but Monkey Island, with it's old school difficulty, is impossible unless you played it as a kid or constantly consult a guide. Phoenix Wright is the perfect balance of difficulty for this genre, imo, but at the moment it appears we're slim on options.

Blockoban, Blocks Mania and PathPix are a few of the best puzzle games available, and none are timed or owt.Acheteedo said:
Also, bear with me, how about a racing game? Vector Rally is a turn based racing game where you plot your racing line on a grid, and you have to judge your speed/direction correctly to stay on the road. No actual time pressure so you can take as long as you want to move, your score at the end is based on how good your line round the course was and how many moves it took.

Anno Civilization Revolution is also free for a "short time". Anyone previously even slightly on the fence should get it.

This practically deserves its own thread. I already have it but I'm texting people I know with iPhones to download it.

Does it have tutorials? I've been considering picking this up for some time, but I gather the game rules are quite complex.

Which of those three puzzle games is your favourite? Sounds like what I've been looking for.
That Vector Rally thing sounds mad, got to at least check it out.

Totally forgot this was on the App store, thanks!
Zeliard said:He posted it on the new page, though, which means there are likely tons of people clicking on the last page of this thread who are now seeing that announcement for the first time (I personally d/l'd it yesterday).
Ergo, chill, yo.
For me it's all on the same page (show 100 posts per page).

Been a while since I posted in here, I have my waves of playing lots of iphone games and then not using it for a month.
Aqua Moto 2 is awesome, I loved the first game and was one of the people who said to the team that waves would make it so much better, they did a brilliant job with it and it reminds me a fair bit of wave race 64 in the way the waves work.

Is there anything similar to Seaman on the iphone? I have an itchin for some Virtual Pet action.
I have it on good authority that Civilization Revolution can be obtained for free, today, on the App Store. Please don't ask me to reveal my sources.
Also, I propose a moratorium on posting until EpicWin is released. The bumps are getting my hopes up, and my heart can't take all this disappointment.

EpicWin is
up!
I also believe that one can come into possession of a game called Civilization Revolution without the need for monetary compensation during a period which some would refer to as "the present time".
In other news, I'm never going to 3-star Angry Birds level 2-2. I've watched three separate vids, but just can't pull it off. It's like my blue birds are all duds.

What strategy are you taking with the level? I launch my first blue bird just high enough so that I can split it directly before the first tower and have only the bottom bird hit it. That'll collapse the tower and take out those pigs. The other two birds tend to fly towards the other set of three and kill 1 or 2 of them. The next blue bird should be detonated just before it runs into the two bigger pigs in the middle. It'll kill them and should have enough momentum to knock over the ending block if it's not down already. Several times I've killed all but one pig with just the first bird. If you can take them all out in two shots you should have a good chance at getting the three stars.
Yes the iPhone version has a tutorial and it's much better IMHO than the Xbox360 one. The rules to play Carc are pretty easy to understand, but it's definitley one of those games where the strategy involved will take years to master. Multi is great and the AI in solo is really solid as well. I learn a TON from playing against the "strong" AI on solo and watching him hand my butt to me...Acheteedo said:

I am having a ridiculously hard time seperating Blockoban and Blocks Mania for my favourite iPhone puzzle game. Probably go with Blockoban because it has more levels, over 2,000 of them!Acheteedo said:

Oh and I was just reminded of Tumbledrop, the NeoGAF member developed game that meets my turn based needs. It's brilliant, highly recommended.
Also I've heard that Civ Rev is double the price today, pro tip.

I'm after something that showcases the iphone 4's gyro, and looks sexy on the new retina display.
