Speaking of Mass Effect: Infiltrator, EA is having a slot machine promotion on their site. You're guaranteed to win an app every time. You can spin once a day. I've won Tetris and ME from it so far.

Hey guys my first ever game just hit the market today:

https://itun.es/us/46VqN.i

It's COMPLETELY free. It's called bitcrobes- it's a microorganism game. Kinda like physics based pacman with upgrades. Even if you just download it then delete it after 1 minute I'd still feel good that you took the time to play my little game.

Reminds me of Cubivore. That's a good thing. I'll make sure to leave a review.

EDIT2: NEW WALKING DEAD "400 DAYS" AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE

Everytime I download this and try to buy episodes, it says coming soon for each one. I've deleted and reinstalled the game 4 times and the same issue. Maybe it's because I'm jailbroken? Anyone else having this issue? I want to buy these. :(

gently caress me, it's an episode within Walking Dead. Does any of the decisions from the original chapters carry over to this or is it stand-alone? I deleted it after I finished it and well not that I would complaint (much) about having to play it again but I'd like to know.

Actually, it does take import your save from the original. It's nothing big though, just a few dialogue changes and one other thing I won't spoil.

Now that the Gameboy Advance app is dead, it is worth mentioning that gba.emu loving rocks. It is vastly superior to the newly expired app, and so far seems pretty much flawless. Definitely jailbreak talk but just wanted to mention it since the other gba app is now unavailable.

All the .emu emulators awesome are amazing. They're literally the only reason I care about jailbreaking anymore.

I'm trying to play 400 Days on the iPhone and it doesn't seem to be available? I recently installed it again (after purchasing all the episodes and beating them) but everything simply says "coming soon". Any idea on how I can just download 400 days?

I had this issue too. The game is really weird and won't let you download episodes on certain wifi networks. Open the download screen on cellular data and it should be fixed, then you can reconnect to wifi and you can download normally.

Namco released a couple of Brain Age clones a long time ago, featuring the same goofy doctor and the same general gameplay as the DS versions. They were never updated for retina or larger screens though so I had long since deleted them. Somehow or another I discovered the other day that they've both been fully updated for modern iOS devices. If anyone cares about that stuff (despite them basically being bullshit science, I love going through a few random tests every day) give them another go because they work/look great now.

Thanks for this. I was looking for a Brain Age clone. Which one would you recommend out of the two?

I bought Chrono Trigger to play on my iPad because I have never finished it. I know its an iPhone app, but I figured I could deal with it being a little fuzzy and it would look good enough to play on my Air. Now that I have it installed, it looks like garbage. It is not just blurry, there seems to be missing layers or something, I cant explain so here is a screenshot.

On my phone, Chrono is under the blanket at that point, on the iPad he is a garbled mess laying on top of the blankets. I am jailbroken and running 7.0.4. Does anyone know what could be causing this?

edit: Guess I should add that I have uninstalled reinstalled, tried a bunch of settings in Retinapad, and then uninstalled retinapad, nothing has made a difference.

iOS 7 broke the game. In the description it says an update is coming but it's said that for months so who knows when it'll finally be released.

'Secret of Mana' Receives Huge Update With Controller Support, Retina Graphics, And More

Wow, I never thought they'd update this. I'm glad when games add a nice widescreen border, it at least gives the illusion that it fills the whole display. Also, good to see they tweaked the annoying virtual stick and added MiFi controller support.

Hopefully they update Chrono Trigger too with Retina graphics. The Retina menus and text mixed with blurry graphics really messes with my eyes.

The menus and text are retina but everything else is not. The virtual controls are not the best. It's also over 500MB for some reason even though it doesn't include the anime cutscenes. It does include the translation and the new dungeons from the DS version.

This isn't the first time an official licensed Pokemon thing has appeared on the App Store, but this is the first game. Very interesting.

This is going to make so much money. It's funny that it made it to iOS before the 3DS or Wii U.
