That's not actually a bad game at all. Quite similar to the Ds version. Good for a quick blast

Just got Osmos, fantastic. Great game to play while lying down with the lights out

Mr E

Yeah its great. Hate those orbit levels though.

Mr E

Monkey Island 2 Special Edition is down to €0.79 for a limited time (enhanced graphics and music, full talkie version).

animaX

Wow, some surprising omissions here!

Edge
Stoneloops of Jurassica (clone of Zuma - was only available in US store)
Ragdoll Blaster 2
Tiki Towers (clone of World of Goo)
Rogue Planet (clone of Advance Wars but quite slow and time consuming)

All worth checking out

Mr E

Playing alot of Frag lately. Its a bit like Angry Birds (but with grenades and terrorists instead of birds and pigs). It's single screen with loads of levels, some great puzzles and a decent amount of skill is needed for high level rankings. Try the Lite version first, and I'm pretty sure you'll fork out for the full version at 79c.

That's a great offer, I have the game on the PC but didn't mind paying 79 cents. iOS version seems to play much better than I expected.

Recently got this too. Great game. Some levels are infuriating until you work out how to do it. Some great level design too

. Robot Unicorn Attack in particular is possibly the best 'one joke' game that has ever existed. One more go, one more uber-camp unicorn running to an Erasure soundtrack

This game is bloody brilliant.
I'm sure the mrs is going to start wondering why I keep playing the same Erasure track on my longer visits to the jacks.

Mr E

Another sale has kicked off today. Tons of good stuff there too. Osmos, Spider and Peggle are all €0.79 (and should be in everyone's collection)

Just grabbed Zenonia 2 and Peggle (again) ... If Ode to Joy doesn't put a smile on your face, then you're dead inside.

Shame not all the games listed there are on sale over here, would love to try Mirror's Edge IPhone cheap

Picked up Osmos and Geometry Wars anyway. Cheers for the link!

Mr E

I got mirrors edge when it came out. It's a great version and a lot of fun, but far too easy.

I finished it over a weekend (playing a level here and there). You could probably finish it in an hour if you put your mind to it. There is some replayability with hidden bags and time trials, but I didn't bother. It was good to hear the lovely Lisa Miskovsky's title track again too....

Yeah it sounds good, but maybe not 3.99 good (not that 3.99 is a lot of money, but still)! I'm sure it will be on sale at some point, it is the app store after all!

+1 on angry birds vote

Krieg

Balls! I was waiting for a peggle sale but 3 days ago said "feck it" and bought it for the 2.50, or whatever it was.

Also got fragger, great game. Very similar to angry birds as mentioned previously.

johnny_ultimate

Bah, didn't realise Geometry Wars was IPad only Bobby Kotick tricked me out of 79c!

Big EA Games sale on at the moment - lots of big games have dropped to $0.99 (€0.79)

I got Cut The Rope for the iPad but I believe it is available for the iPhone too. Its awesome fun... kind of a physics-based puzzler. It ate my life for several days.

DeV.

Mr E

Yeah its a superb game.

In case you didn't know, Chillingo released a special Christmas Edition of Cut The Rope last week called "Cut the Rope: Holiday Gift". Its free, has another 25 unique levels, and some new seasonal gadgets to complicate things....

Mr E

Another great sale has started today, and for a good cause. The games below are now for sale at €0.79, with one third of earnings going to the charity Child's Play. You can read reviews here, but they're all worth grabbing IMO (especially Osmos - beautiful game)

Canabalt, by Semi Secret Software
Solipskier, by Mikengreg
Spider: The Secret of Bryce Manor, by Tiger Style Games
Osmos, by Hemisphere Games
Eliss, by Steph Thirion
Drop7, by Area/Code Inc.

Mr E

Piyo blocks 2 is free today (zookeeper clone, and a really damn good one too)

Wispin is free today (great pick up and play game - I bought it last week)

tman

To whoever suggested Game Dev Story - I hate you!!
This is one of the biggest life leeches of a game that I've ever played, and I've played WoW ffs!:p
Really good, but gets a bit too easy once you've got a decent team together and are developing for a machine with a big user base

richymcdermott

do you have to buy games by credit card or can you use like a gift card sort of thing

Mr E

Both. You can attach a credit card to your apple ID, or you can buy a gift card in shops like HMV to add credit to your account.

tman

Yep, you can get the iTunes vouchers all over the place these days (sure I've seen them in Tesco and Boots recently)

richymcdermott

ah sweet cheers guys

ipad making my psp go bye bye
