Tempted to pick up one of those madcatz c.t.r.l.is. Reading the description on Amazon, the last line is "get an hdmi cable and a lighting a/v cable and you can have a CONSOLE EXPERIENCE on your t.v." and I'm just thinking why? If I wanted a "console experience" I'd buy a console or I'd use my computer. Both options are cheaper and more powerful.

Also, I wish I had the dollar I spent on Dark Meadow back.

It is a creepy environment and top notch voice acting/dialogue saddled to a combat system that will absolutely put you to sleep. It is a shame. There are some good ideas in there.

So I'm still on IOS 7 because I just know it'll break Phoenix Wright HD/Ghost Trick/Layton Brothers. I'm on an iPad Mini 1. Am I right or is anyone in the same boat?

Anyone play that new F2P Star Wars defense game? Is it as bad as I'm assuming it is?

Also, my iPad/iPhone now have no less than 3.5 Warhammer games on each of them now.

From what I can tell, there are 4 towers. It's like a lovely Kingdom Rush with a Star Wars paintjob, which could be cool, but it's just really lovely instead.

To actually relate a little more information, there are a shitload of heroes though and it looks like you eventually control 3 at once. They auto attack and have 1 ability each.

Shadowrun Returns is an excellent game and at only 2GBP is crazy good value. I am 100% getting the other one when it comes to iOS. Great suggestion, thanks thread.

Anyone played Knights of the Old Republic to completion yet, on iOS? Is it worth getting if I played it however many years ago?

Yes. I just picked it up and it's such a fantastic port. Worth every penny only if you haven't played it in a long time.

I played it in 2005 or something. Not long after it came out. It is just such a HUGE time investment that I dunno if I will get to this any time soon. Does it work well on the touch screen though? I am really impressed by Shadowrun Returns' operation on an iPad Mini. Maybe it is the Mini's form factor that contributes to this, though.

Well, I don't read a single thing because I don't care about the story anymore having played that out when it was new (it's also not a good story) so kotor isn't that much of a time investment for me. I've been playing about just over an hour an evening and I've been completing a planet per session.

The controls are sublime. Bioware's auto-pause style lends itself perfectly to the touchscreen.

Why the gently caress would you slog through that game if you didn't care about any of the words at all?

Solomon's Keep is pretty good. Just started playing it. Wish I had it on my iPad but it works okay on my 5. Tactics Maiden seems servicable but shallow. RETRY is stupid. Just give me Battle Cats and Kingdom Rush forever.

Except Bioware was pretty well known because of Baldur's Gate, which came out years before KOTOR.

I found KOTOR to be unplayable on the iPhone 5, but I have huge hands. Trying to navigate through the fiddly UI was tedious and unprecise, and I put the game down halfway through the first planet.

Also the big plot line twist blew my mind as a teenager, but I don't think it holds up well at all. Every character and quest is written in stark, primary colors with no subtlety or nuance. The combat though is fun and easy, and you can force lightning forever and have your evil droid cheer you on, which is all I really wanted in a replay.

Android has a lot of questionable games, like the one where you score points for running over cyclists ... But the pics are from an iOS game with up-skirt and boob anime art.

Yeah I'm saying that nobody complains because we're grown ups here on iOS and just roll our eyes and look away when we encounter that stuff on the App Store, so Apple hasn't policed it. I was being smug talking about android that way.

Helsing Fire borked for anyone else? The puzzle screen is a block of solid color except over the GUI. It seems like I can still interact with the puzzle blindly as the color changes when I kill... something, so it appears to be a rendering issue. Having never played the game I couldn't say for certain what I should see, though. 6+, latest iOS8 build.

The remaining episodes are still 4.99 each. Just episode one is 1.99.

Pretty sure episode one will be free around the end of the year.
