So, what's everyone's game of the year?

I think mine goes to Ski Safari or Kingdom Rush. While both aren't innovative the amount of content and polish is undeniable.

I don't know, I thought the big appeal of cook serve delicious was fumbling with the keyboard. If all the functions are replaced with touch buttons I'm not sure it'll be as fun.

It's inspired by Japanese PS1 game called Ore no Ryouri (if you were into PS1 demo discs back in the day, you might remember it) that was all about manipulating the analog sticks to do these small tasks around a restaurant. ...I was going to type but am tired and, basically, I don't think anything will be lost by playing it on a touch screen. The big appeal of ore no ryouri is how hectic it gets. At first you're doing everything perfectly, and by the end you're a fucking mess trying to keep up.

PC demo was awesome. I voted it up on greenlight a while back. Would totally buy it on ipad if I had one.

Yeah, I'm just saying a layer of the chaos will be lost. Navigating touch buttons will be a lot easier than punxhingnin very specific keyboard buttons.

Yea, I was hoping theyd have bluetooth keyboard suport.

yup - OnR: it's resource management waggle minigames before we had -real- waggle minigames. The use of the dual shock is pretty awesome as well.

Played it some today. Seems fine to me early on. For me I always knew it was going to be a game I would play on my iPad instead of the computer.

The hard difficult is pretty hard. I failed both the free songs on that after S ranking the easier difficulties. Just going to take some practice. You know you can tap anywhere on the screen, not where the notes are

I am enjoying Middle Manager of Justice. The setting is full of the expected whimsy and charm, the art is fun, and the UI is easy to navigate. It doesn't require IAP to progress, but I will say that the IAP of "coin doubler" is pretty sweet. I played for 4 hours or so before spending my 199¢.

I was disappointed by Middle Manager of Justice. The art is cool and the game is polished as hell, but the actual 'game' part of the equation is severely lacking. Basically felt like a slow moving treadmill that funnels you to to an end point.

Real talk. Halfbrick makes really polished-looking games... That have almost no redeeming gameplay qualities whatsoever. Except for Jetpack Joyride, which was alright if not bog-standard for an endless running game.

demi · « **Reply #1705 on:** December 17, 2012, 02:30:24 PM »

That and they should be free period, since they're so reluctant to make every game full of IAP crap

They're good games for non-gamers. Are you a non-gamer?

I just thought it was really boring. And I'm usually a fan of these types of games.

Football Manager is destroying my life. I play every second I have now.

The tension is unbelieveable, I was sure I was going to get fired deep into season 2, I was 13th!!! in the league but first in the euro cup. Now with just a few games to go Im starting to win everything. Man I hate love this game.

Walking Dead ep1 is free instead of $5

Lots of crap dropped to $1, Telltale games, GameLoft games... etc.

Still no Square Enix sale

demi · « **Reply #1713 on:** December 18, 2012, 09:31:01 AM »

None, tbh. They're pretty by the numbers, but look great. Wild Blood looks ok. Modern Combat, NOVA... etc

~~Eternal Legacy is a pretty janky JRPG (that isn't J)~~ not $1

Get Puzzle Agent and HECTOR from Telltale

Cerveza mas fina · « **Reply #1714 on:** December 18, 2012, 10:40:11 AM »

Puzzle Agent is cool beans, have it on my PC but will buy it again for 89 cents.

Hector, dummy. Though its technically not Telltale. Just published.

Finished the last Hector episode last month, it was fuckin great and I actually really loved how it just didn't end

Just picked up Grandma Nuff an iPad because she should not be tethered to a fucking Windows XP Dell from 2001. Can anyone reco any decent old people games? (I got UNO all up in her shit)

My gf asks how to use the different irons.

demi · « **Reply #1720 on:** December 18, 2012, 02:02:20 PM »

Find them in the game (they randomly appear), or spend 500 fake golf bucks or more (for a whole set), or spend real money on lots of them

Click the bag in the bottom right if you have clubs / want to buy clubs

Cerveza mas fina · « **Reply #1721 on:** December 18, 2012, 02:04:08 PM »

She has a few but doesnt know what to do with them

demi · « **Reply #1722 on:** December 18, 2012, 02:05:16 PM »

They replace the current card in play. Say you have a 3 4 5, and your current card (or last card) is an 8.

You can use a 6 iron, 2 iron, etc. And now you can keep playing, keep your combo going, etc.

The gold club can be used as a wild card, so it works on A K Q J

Played and beat that game the Room. It's not something most people on here would like as there isn't a lot of "game" in it but I liked it quite a bit. Short but I still liked it. Feels like Myst in tone or something but a lot more simple and tactile which I prefer.

I'm curious what the achievements are, so post them when you buy it. The achieements almost make me want to buy this version... but uncertain how it runs on iPod and already owning the DS version satisfy me for now.

I found this looking for information about a possible iOS/Android version of FTL

Not really the same thing, but it's still interesting as a starship-based kairosoft-esque game.

Tried out Walking Dead on my new iPad 4 to compare it against my old iPad 2. Holy crap. The Walking Dead on the ipad 2 hitches up all the time and looks like shit but on the ipad 4 it runs like butta and looks just as good as the PC version. I know it's pretty fucking obvious that it'd run better on the ipad 4 but this is really the first game I've noticed a substantial difference.
