Be Excellent To Each Other :: View topic

Following discussion in the iPhone thread, we iOS users think we need a "software" thread that covers iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad equally. The older threads can then be more about hardware and stuff. Sound reasonable?

I'm going to go one further, and make two threads: one for games and one for apps. This is the gaming thread.

If you haven't bought Phoenix Wright yet then please do.

I haven't, on grounds I've previously completed the first three or four on the DS. It could be due for a replaying though.

Game Dev Story - hyper-addictive (but only for about a week) game studio sim thing now has Game Center achvs if you fancy replaying it.

did world of goo now have an iphone version ready?

apparantly tweebot is brilliant

As an iPhone gamer
I want a website for game reviews that isn't shit
So that I can find groovy new games to play

Don't forget the podgamers...

Wanna build an "app mini-review database"? Fields of app name, platform, version, reviewer name, review. Reviews capped at tweet length or slightly longer. Searchable by app name and displays opinions of multiple beexers when viewing an app (with a footnoted version number to point out stale reviews).

This above para from the Doc got me excited.

So you've got constant updates because a game will scroll into a news feed every time someone adds a score to it, plus you can then access the original 'game/app' with all scores/reviews at the bottom.

Squee. The beauty is that more writers can mean more updates can be more people led to the forum.

Absolutely. We've got a history of outstanding success in driving forum visits through external projects.

This stands to be the most popular project thus far though, no?

Short reviews means not a lot of effort needed, plus there's a lot of us who have these devices and lots of people who want to read about stuff ON these devices.

If this place turns into an Apple circlejerk, then I'm leaving.

This is a brilliant idea, but don't we need a different thread for it?

2^8 - 1 rather than 2^8? Some back end reason for that, or you just want to wind up math nerds?

This is a brilliant idea, but don't we need a different thread for it?

I'd be willing to review android stuffs.

Get your own site, hippy. And make it open source, natch.

I have to wait for yours to be finished so I can copy it, add a green robot and links to porn.

140 is a little too small, and 255 is the next most likely number

If you haven't bought Phoenix Wright yet then please do. In fact I'll even consider gifting it to you. I bought it on the DS and it's a damn fine conversion with great humour. I wish they'd make the sequels for iOS.

It could be due for a replaying though. I imported them due to the idiots including the American translation in the Japanese releases, so I could get them cheaper, and three-four months earlier. I would say that if you haven't played them since they came out you'll remember the overall arc of the story, but not have enough recall to be bored waiting for a certain bit to come up so you can present the evidence. It's like playing them again for the first time.

yeah Goo's out I think. According to LewieP's twitterings. Cave recently had a 50% thing going on. Two good games but that Bug Panic thing isn't so good. My hot tips for goodness; Axe In Face Sand Slides (although it's all dirty with adverts now, the fucking thing - I'm sure I paid for it as well back when it first showed up) Slingo Supreme PvZ The Creeps (almost flawless tower defence game, slightly ruined by tilt-controls for your super powers).

1. Exciting! 2. Go go Grim... 3. Interestingly there is a iPhone/iPod version of World of Goo just released, but they've also made the iPad version universal so it works on the iPhone now too. Neato. 4. iPad (only) game of the moment (based on that thread I had yesterday is Viking Lords Which is an excellent, polished clone of an excellent board game. Looks far nicer than the screenshots suggest too. Basically, it's a war game where you have a bunch of units split into the left, middle and right sections of the board. You draw cards that let you activate units and play one each turn. So not only is there strategy of a normal battle game, but also when you use powerful cards (Activate 2 units in each region \| activate all green units) and when you use rubbish ones (activate 2 in the left channel.) Recommended.
