    Fallout: New Vegas DLC edition!

    Dead Money: For the first release, it’s quite difficult, mostly dealing with certain areas that will make you explode.

    Honest Hearts: Not terrible in terms of adventuring and quests, but the terrain(mostly mountains) is very brain aching.

    Old World Blues: Very funny, good experience gains, a few particular glitches, but probably the best out of the four.

    Lonesome Road: Assuming it’s a good end piece, but the multiple Deathclaws are preventing any forward progress.

    Three simple words. Pizza. Versus. Skeletons.
    You are a pizza. You must fight skeletons, beat them in snowboard challenges, rescue puppies and then sumo wrestle giant skulls off cliffs. It is excellent.

    Pinball Arcade is out for the iOS, TOTAN is free. Just downloaded it, I’ll let you know.

      So far there are 4 tables available, TOTAR (Tales of the Arabian Nights), Ripley’s Believe It or Not, Black Hole and Theatre of Magic. All of these are classic table and all from different manufacturers.

      I believe there are 2 more tables promised soon, at least that’s what I thought I read when I immediately plugged in my 10 bucks for all tables offered (like a spastic goof). The tables are available individually for 2 bucks a piece or free to try until you get the high score.

      This is definitely a package that I hope gets some major updates. The tables are not iPad quality (although the game is an asterisk title), the texture maps are low resolution.

      All the elements that need to be fixed; Improved resolution, skill shots are not possible as the camera shifts to the front of the table to pull back the plunger instead of switching overhead to allow using the plunger meter markings, the dot matrix display is called a HUD and does not emulate dot matrix, the cameras force portrait mode of the IPad but the table is always angled back – if portrait mode is forced then I’d like a more top down view of the playfield.

      Far Sight has some great licenses here and the physics are nice but they really need to step up the quality. To me the audience is going to be real pinball enthusiasts in which case the DMD, camera angles and Plunger elements need to be fixed or the folks who enjoy Zen Pinball in which case the graphics will need to be higher quality.

      The iOS – Android developers are known to be more responsive to the public with updates and I hope this title follows suit. This is a great way to experience these tables for the first time or play them on the go and I really want it to live up to what I had expected.

    Puzzle juice is a puzzle game that promises to ’punch your brain in the face’ and it kind of does, being a Tetris like, a match three game and a word game all in one. Pieces fall and you make lines or isolate like colors to turn blocks into letters to make words. Similar in its achievement driving progress structure to something like shibuya. Me like.

    Saints Row: The Third(XB360): On virtually any playthrough, I can parachute from my jet-bike, attack people in mascot suits with my gang of ninjas, wrestlers, and gimps, or jump in my giant 8-bit tank(Complete with pixel cannon) and destroy innocent cars with Burt Reynolds.

      Running from the cops while the theme song from the Venture Bros. is playing is so fun.

    Recent iPhone goodie- Justin Smith’s Realistic Summer Sports Simulator, which is anything but. If you’re familiar with Smith’s previous outing Envirobear 2000, you might have an idea of what to expect- MS Paint style visuals and intentionally bad controls leading to physics based hilarity. Far better than I just made it sound.

    iPhone baddie- Street Wrestling. This is a Lucha themed beat ’em up that the eagle eyed may recognize as actually being XBLA game Lucha Fury, which reviewed horrendously last summer before being pulled and picked up by chillingo. Dull beat em up, not even making much of the wrestling theme (hey, I liked the story mode in wrestlemania xix) and now with tiny hard to press virtual buttons.

    iPhone middlie- Wrestling Manager, which sadly isn’t a Jimmy Hart sim, but is a booking simmulator where you spend in game cash on card packs that contain different wrestlers and gimmicks that you plug into shows. Initially too bare bones but it is steadily being updated. Bit expensive though, especially considering it tries to get you to spill more cash to buy good cards faster. I hate freemium, but this could actually be an amazing freemium game if they tweaked it a bit.

      Just now heard the newest episode, so rsss comments a bit redundant. Right on though.

    Super Mario 3D Land (3DS):Yes, it’s very pretty, but absolutely no new ground is broken in terms of gameplay, which doesn’t mean it’s not fun.

    Star Fox 64 3D(3DS):Quite possibly the best port and upgrade to a game for any system.

    iPad owners: someone snuck a version of MAME into the app store. There is no way this will last so get it while it’s hot. Note that you’ll have to use a third party utility to actually load ROMs into the thing. Also, the ROMsets you want are for 0.37b5, not the new hotness.

    Shadows of the Damned: It’s a fun, albeit short, over the shoulder shooter, but the lack of wrestling moves from a Suda 51 game is surprising.

  • reasonmpw posted an update in the group iPhone Games:   8 months ago · View

    20th anniversary edition of Eric chahi (from dust)’s seminal Amiga/pc adventure another world is out today. It handles surprisingly well thanks to a reengineered control system that uses taps and swipes rather than the lazy virtual dpad route. Very much of its time (it is essentially a trial and error driven memory test) but tells story through gameplay better than most modern games and creates a hell of an atmosphere.

    Jetpack joyride- another endless runner sure, but halfbricks latest has some great powerups, a nice shibuya esque structure where getting game center achievements is how you advance in the game so you have to change up your playstyle all the time, the whole central conceit is that you have a jetpack that flies by the recoil of machine guns attached to the bottom for crying out loud, AND the main character is called Barry Steakfries. What’s not to like?

    WWE All Stars(XB360): Even though it does take me back to playing with wrestling figures, it has the worst commentary since Crush Hour.

      All stars was a really pleasant surprise for me- not outstanding but good fun and clearly made by people who care about the source material. Wwe 12 meanwhile looks to be every inch a typical yuke’s wrestling game despite the alleged ”big changes”. Colour me skeptical.

    So…who has played the new Rally X game? Is the control really as bad as all that?

    My goodness quarrel dx is good. It is risk, except it is scrabble- rather than deciding clashes via dice roll, you have to make the biggest word you can with the troops (letters) you have to capture territory. Scrabble is good, risk is also good, both together is a delight.

    Playing Shadow Era. Fermium card game similar to MTG. Simple system with some good strategic depth, but it is really, really slow to earn cards for free.
