For what it's worth, I agree

So, just bought Infinity Blade 2 to show off my new iPad screen.

Holy-moly it looks good. The lighting effects in particular are stunning on the retina display. The textures can be a bit dodgy on close-up but the models themselves are lovely and sharp. There seems to be a fair bit of AA in there too, not sure if that was part of the recent update for the retina screen though.

Gameplay-wise it seems to be more of the same but better: more moves, more RPG options, more weapons, more magic and the new Materia-esque Gem system. Plenty of stuff to sink my teeth into. They've really upped the story this time too, with everyone speaking English instead of the garbled Otherworld language from the first.

Anyway, here's a lovely video of it.

Beat Sneak is cool, but boring, no? Maybe I should play it more, but it hasn't come close to rivalling Quarrel yet.

Also, may buy Infinity Blade. Also trying out Paper which is really nice.

Saturday Morning RPG is pretty good http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/saturday ... 45512?mt=8

First episode is free.

Lost Winds was down to 69p yesterday. Having never owned a Wii, I got it. It's very pleasant.
Hopefully it's still reduced today.

Just noticed Civ rev for the iPad is down to £1.49, and the iPhone version is 69p.

Pix'n Rush is free right now.

They really should port Civ 5 to iPad now, I'd be tempted to get an iPad for that.

They'd have to strip it down a hell of a lot.

Virtual city 2 is now available with a full content purchase of 2.99
This is brilliant news, I really enjoyed the first one and it took me ages to complete, so glad they've made all the content available as a one off.
Would urge you guys to try it (it's a free download with the option of 1 in app purchase)

New Kickstarter for a 'Stealth Survival' iOS game, Republique...



http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/486 ... y_launched

Half a million dollars for an iOS game? Really?

Actually 1 million dollars, the other half is funded in another way.

Did you not watch the video? Its basically a modern take on Resident Evil/MGS. Looks like it could be a full retail product on console.

Watched the video earlier today.

Did you get to the final boss yet? I thought it was a pretty cool game until I got to the final boss which is when I thought it was a brilliant game.

just bought starfront for ipad, similar to starcraft just without the production values or effort.

still a fun game, just hate the 40 unit limit :/

anyone who has it fancy a game? im trying to get my head around strategys but basically im just going all out on resources and then building as much as i can and attacking. theres not a lot of units/buildings or anything.

needs polish.

I think the thing is they've essentially said they can get the money from elsewhere, and clearly, development has already started. If what the guy has said is true, that he's liquidated all his assets, then he's going to get the game out there, one way or another.

They're just after Kickstater Funbucks which mean a) they don't really have anyone to answer to, and more importantly b) don't have to pay anyone back.


Does look quite cool, though.



I do wonder what's going to become of this Kickstarter craze once some of these games start coming out and they're janky as hell.
