The iOS gaming thread

[Smitty]

That's great and all, but it's an iphone game.

Smitty, did you see my earlier post of iPad recommendations when you asked before?

Hit me.

Sentinel 3:home world is free today

I haven't tried the iOS version but got it from the android 10p sale

[Smitty]

Geodefense is more boring than grey paint.

[gospvg]

Obviously at this time of year you will get everyone putting on a sale on most of their apps some I have picked out are

Sonic Racing 69p

Well fuck off and don't ask for recommendations then. Go and play Jetpack Joyride.

Not only is Geodefense not more boring than grey paint, but grey paint is lovely, and I've just painted my lounge in it.

Smitty, why do you continue to disappoint me so?

[mercenarri]

Does anyone know of an iPhone version of this Wii game, or something close to it?

[Stanley]

Super Monkey Ball is about the closest thing.

[gospvg]

Also possibly gears?

I love Jetpack Joyride so much. I 'finished' it, then just restarted and kept playing. Word to the wise, if you got it for free just pay the 69p for the coin duplicator - it'll take you years to get enough money to buy new stuff otherwise.

Sorry dude, completely disagree. It's probably my most played iphone game and the only (oldish) one that I keep coming back to.

Of course.

[Rudderless]

Aw, anyone can offer an iPad2, but getting painted into an oil painting is something quite unique.

[Bojangle]

Oh god, you're bringing it all back Rudderless!

[Mafro]

Seems to be an EA sale just now, all games are 69p. Just nabbed Dead Space for iPad.

[Asura]

Sorry, mentioned this earlier but no response. I noticed Squaresoft have a sale on; other than Final Fantasy Tactics (which I'll probably get regardless) is any of their other stuff good?

That being said, I can't believe that "Crystal Defenders" is £2.99 even in the sale, when many tower defence games are cheaper - unless there's something about it that makes it deceptively amazing, it seems as though it's just trading off the Final Fantasy association.

That's what I did - figured it was fair enough to pay 69p for something after getting an ace game for nowt

[Gommy]

So for the Christmas season - what do people think are good ipad games for multiplayers on 1 pad, and also for 2 ipads in the same room?

Cheers

Virtually all of EA's games are on sale for 69p on the iTunes store at the minute, including the awesome Dead Space - link

Sentinel 3: Homeworld (ace tower defense game) is currently free

[rumblecat]

Been playing GTA on an iPhone 4. Works well, but has a few missing effects like blood, lights and shadows.

This link at Touch Arcade forums shows you how to enable them on the iPhone4 and iPodTouch4 etc without needing to jailbreak your phone.

You just need to download iExplorer (free) so you can browse files on your phone, then download one of the pre-set files and replace the gta.set one with that. Dead easy to do (instructions are very clear- just ignore all the hex editing stuff and download one of the files they've got linked), took me five minutes last night and now it's running pretty much the same, only with blood, light and shadows.

Comparison pictures (not mine) - spoilered for length-

[The Mighty Ash]

Thanks - Will give that a go.

[Mars]

How does it affect the performance of the game?

[ZOK]

I don't remember seeing any mentions of Zen Pinball in this thread. Why the flip (geddit) not? It's brilliant, and it's free (one table).

[Count Buffalos]

Yeah, it's very good indeed. No-one on my friends list appears to have it though

[shirubagan]

It's iOS 5 only. I'll just stick with the 3DS version for now.
