Well, the one thing I wish I'd realised sooner is how useful the barracks are in slowing down the waves. If you place a shooting turret (Mage or Archers) near a barrack then you can hold the enemy up, giving the turret longer to fire at them. Upgrading them to max can make them pretty tough as well.

My first priority is usually upgraded Mage towers though, as they can teleport enemies back down the line at their max level.

Otherwise you earn gems for missions even if you fail them, so save up for the 500 gold bags.

the other thing to remember with barracks. is when you upgrade them, it will spawn any guys that have been killed.

so in theory if you had all 3 guys wiped out. by upgrading you would get them all back(upgraded) right away.

or you could sell the barracks and rebuild one from scratch and get the same result. it will cost you some coins. but its a handy tactic.

Can you recommend an app for when my iphone is sitting in its dock next to me at work. I want something that just does something in the background. Perhaps something like the old C64 game Little Computer People. I quite like Spout, which scrolls Tweets in a nice animated way. I also like Living Earth which shows the time / earth's current cloud pattern / view of the earth from directly above. What else is there?

My little guilty pleasure at the moment is those town building games like Happy Street and Simpsons Tapped Out.

However I'm waaay to cheap to actually buy into that buying game currency with real money thing so can anyone suggest a good city building / strategy game like these that are just a single one-off up-front payment?

I have SimCity deluxe but looking for something with a little more charm.

Unfortunately the success of those freemium style town builders has effectively killed off any potential traditional sim-games. The closest you'll get is probably those Kairosoft games.

Has anyone had a chance to play Devil's Attorney yet?

Happy Street is ideal if you ask me. I was never tempted to pay for any in-game currency, and you can play it as much or as little as you like.

Thanks!! That's pretty much perfect! (Are there any more titles like that?)

What's the longevity like?

I like what they;ve done with it.

1: The art assets haven't been updated, but they're running at a nice high resolution with texture filtering (which the original never did, or possibly only as a re-release with 3dfx Voodoo 1 support? or was that carma 2?). I only ever played it in 256-colour VGA.

2: The physics are surprisingly realistic for a game of this genre and vintage. (6DOF 4-point physics model with proper suspension - cutting edge stuff for 1997), not very accessible though.

3: Blood and gore all present and correct.

I'd rather have this (the original game, as was - mostly) than a remake where they've changed the physics/controls for a modern audience. I find it plays best with analogue steering and digtal throttle/brake.
