Beneath a Steel Sky is an old PC adventure game with voice acting, it's still puzzlish, no real combat or anything, but I found the story to be pretty interesting. It's like Monkey Island in that respect.
Otherwise there is that expensive Square Enix RPG, I might try it someday.
But there are very few story driven experiences on iPhone because people don't want to pay for them.

For puzzle games:
Angry Birds - this is usually hyped, launch birds with a slingshots to destroy the house of pigs.
Helsing's Fire - Touch the screen, to place a lantern as you move it around the screen to avoid blockages you use potions to destroy enemies.
Transformers: G1 Awakening - is like Advance Wars, turn based battle.

One of my favorite PSP RPGs. First one that I literally played straight through from start to finish within a month. (I normally take 2 to 3 months to finish an RPG).
But yeah, the translation was what made it good. Not sure about iPhone version if it's terrible engrish.

How long could it take for EpicWin to be available?
I'm sorry if this is a bit offtopic, but I hope someone can help me out.
A family friend gave away his iPhone to my dad, and I now want to erase/"format" the info that is still on the phone (e.g. phone pics, contacts, apps etc.). What's the proper painless way to do this, if there is one?

Is there any reason to get the iDevice version if you already have the free PC/Mac version (besides supporting the developers)?Foob said:
Resurrection is DaiFukkatsu, so unless there's some other awesome bullet hell game we only have 2.Minsc said:
There's also some reset all settings thing on the iPhone itself, maybe do that before restoring if you're paranoid.animlboogy said:

We just released a Lite version of Meowcenaries to the app store. It's got the first two missions of the game. For the low, low price of FREE.
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/meowcenaries-lite/id385103190?mt=8
Full version has 20+ missions with boss battles and bonus stages. Plus we just recently updated it with Open Feint leaderboards/achievements/challenges.

Can't vouch for the quality but I remember reading mixed impressions about it in this thread.
Ahoy, all - sorry for the pimpage, but I wanted to mention that a Retina Display-compatible version of Word Ace was just approved for sale & should be live in the App Store soon. It's probably been a while since most of you last played, but we've been steadily rolling out new stuff, from new gifts to Push Notifications to ridonkulously high-res art. The two Card Ace games are also submitted with RD-compatible art, so they should be getting approved (hopefully) soon, too.
Also, the second run of physical Word Ace decks is coming soon, with their own swanky custom boxes. Should be in next week! Only ... what, seven months later than my initial prediction.
Cheers!

Kind of getting used to the horrendous battle interface in Crimson Gem Saga now. Game seems to be bog standard as far as the genre goes, but it might be quaint because of the platform. I'm not sure what I think of the sparse voice acting, though. It's very weird to have the 3rd line of a conversation spoken when the 1st line is coming up in the textbox.

I was corrected earlier, didn't realize DaiFukkatsu was just another word for Resurrection, and thought one was a sequel and one was a port (but they're both the same game with a different name).

FF1 & FF2 both are awesome if you played them back in the day, the highlight of the series is VI, V, IV and IX, VI perhaps being the best FF ever made (the SNES one, titled III in the US). Wish they'd port the GBA ones over to the iPhone and fill up their series a little more, their other title, Song Summoner looks incredible too, I've only played a little, but it looks great!

Depends on how much you game I guess. I started playing on normal, so I have the hard and insane difficulties ahead of me, and I'm only on the 2nd world, and have yet to encounter time based gameplay except for the 1 boss fight which was a nice break from the puzzles. So even if the 3rd and beyond worlds are all timing based, you still have a good 50 puzzles (150 when you factor in the hard difficulty settings) that aren't time-based. For $1, I find that a pretty good value, but I suppose if you're comparing against some other game that gives you 200 hours of puzzles for $1 you might come up short.

McBacon said:I'm just kinda pissed that I was so enjoying the game and was looking forward to some rock hard puzzles with this formula, but suddenly the entire concept shifted.
But you got the "absurd" difficulty in the recent update (not to mention the 2x framerate improvement mentioned earlier):
Did you find it still lacking? I haven't tried it, but I imagine the harder/est settings basically present you with an entirely new set of puzzles to work out, minus the wall locations of the levels, I'm imagining more/harder monsters to deal with.

Just got my first iTouch. Are there any good RPG's to get for it?

Right off the back I would say look in to Crimson Saga, Shining Force, Chaos Rings, FFI, FFII, Song Summoner, The War of Eustrath, Across Age, and Zenonia to get started (sorta in that order).
In the future you also have Final Fantasy Tactics and Secret of Mana due out later this year (?).
Not sure if I'm missing anything big.

Does anybody know where I could get a list of the best iphone games made to date? I don't want a list ranked in order by itunes star rating. I'd like something where a group of editors had to sit down and make the list. Thanks in advance.

Well, from this thread you have these two posts, they have a good 50+ titles to get started. The problem with any list short of a 500 title list made yesterday, is it is probably leaving out a good number of games (even those are undoubtedly leaving out many great games).
For instance, many of the RPGs I just listed a few posts ago aren't on those lists, and by all means Song Summoner, FF1/2, Crimson Saga, etc are pretty damn great.

Awesome. But the game really needs online play or more robust features to keep me interested.
