So I just picked up an iPad air, and put infinity blade 3 on it. The quality is worse than my iPhone 5 for some reason,with things looking a bit fuzzy and the game being displayed in letterbox mode. Is this normal behavior for ib3 on iPads?

Also got a air. It's not fuzzy but it is in letterbox. Cut scenes have much bigger black bars but they are still there in gameplay also. Don't know why. Plays a hell of a lot better than on my old iPad.

Free IGN iOS game of the month is Lili found here. Unlike the console games of the month it doesn't require membership to get at the code. This game was notable for being one of the first to comply with iPhone 5 dimensions.

My link is probably the Canadian version of the site but with some futzing the US one shouldn't be too hard to find.

Are there any games similar to the top down real time stratagy portion of Call of Duty: Strike Force? The game is by far at its best when being played in top down mode, and I'd love to find some more games that are similar.

It will be a single price game with zero consumable or currency IAP. They may release paid content expansions later, but that's totally acceptable.

This game has a fair number of bullshit mechanics, might I add--. I just captured the last of 10 flowers to beat this one spirit, but oh, you arbitrarily lost your grip in doing it! I just spent a sandwich to speed up and catch this spirit, and he teleported when I got to him.

I'm still playing it, but only because I'm stubborn and I need something to look at while I listen to podcasts.

Edit: And now I've got a stuck objective 3 hours in--talk to Enjee next to the windmill. Talked to him 3 times, tried rebooting the app, still can't move forward.

It's a better Tiny Tower with a greater emphasis on IAP (because free bux are as rare as hen's teeth) and some unfortunate flaws:

-lots of very slow transitions between screens and menus and such
-every single floor that needs restocking is a separate notification
-the latest update broke the fonts horribly and I could have sworn my upgraded elevator used to be slightly faster before I updated it...
-quite crashy

Are you sure about the duplicate notifications? I haven't seen that myself. Most all the crashing should be fixed in the 1.1 update. Hopefully rebooting your phone might fix the font issue rather than a re-install, believe it stems from localization changes. I'm on a fresh game about 4 days old and I'm at 23 floors and over halfway to elevator #3. Helps to always keep residential vacancies to cycle through dream jobbers. I think the UI changes really improved the flow of the game but I do miss some button taps to menu animations once in a while. Something I'll bring up for sure.

1. Yeah, it's definitely happening for me somehow.


2. Now I think about it I haven't crashed since the update so that's all good.

3. I'll try that.

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

busfahrer posted:

It's... ok I guess? It's just Tiny Tower with different graphics, so if you didn't like the original you won't like this one unless you're a huge Star Wars nerd.

I enjoyed the original TT but I lost all interest in TDS after only a couple of days. And yeah, TDS is much stingier about free premium currency.

You want to know my take on the title of the album? Billy and Jimmy always have this bad pun game, is what I call it. It's the bad pun game getting out of control. Embarrassing. Not the name. The name's not really embarrassing. Just the game.

Ahaha, there's a GTA app that's been in the TouchArcade app 'new' section for a while... it's some lovely slide puzzle using the GTA name and icon. It's priced at $50 to prey on impulse buyers who don't check descriptions or screenshots or developers I guess. What I'm wondering is 'how the gently caress did this get into the iTunes store' when stuff like Jones On Fire had to be submitted like three times.

The most important question is: With all of the piles of money you're going to make off of this, what are you going to do with it?

1. Build a Scrooge McDuck-esque money pit?
2. Build your own Death Star?
3. Put it into a 401(k) or IRA like a losing loser who loses at life?
