I'm looking for either something Pokemon-y or Fire Emblam/X-COM-y to play on my iPad. Are there some must-plays in either of those genres?

Dragon Island Blue is kind of pokemon-ish.

Here's hoping the update doesn't include a bunch of IAP to unlock jobs as well :ohdear:

I'd pay a couple bucks to unlock Dark Knight rather than spend a day grinding it per person.

But this is SE so it'd probably be :10bux: to unlock a single easy to get job, like Summoner, for a single character instead.

I am, I can only assume you are the oddly accented Feenix. I am not sure how to change back to porktree other than unhitching it to my faux face book account.

That's the only way I believe. I hooked mine up to my bullshit facebook account as I presumed/hoped you'd get extra cash for letting it spam your account like Asphalt 7 does but no such luck. Then I also noticed my GC name had been replaced by the Facebook name so I logged out within the app to return to the GC info.

I beat a time yesterday in a single race of four people in the GC/friend list and it added $1200, not a great amount really but better than nowt! I also noticed that hitting driver level 11 gave out 3 gold instead of the 5 gold it had previously given out for normal levels, I don't know if that had been changed or not. I noticed there's a car for around 800 gold in the storeroom, I'd love to see sales numbers on that after the game has been out a while, that's well over £100 worth of currency.

I'd pay a couple bucks to get access to even more jobs. I'm a total addict for job-based RPGs though.

I don't really want to delve back into the Free/Premium argument again, but I wouldn't mind a "Pay .99 to elevate your Black Mage to Illusionist without spending an hour in dinky random battles to make him learn those 5 Black/White spells that you'll never use first", or possibly make AP something purchasable. What I wouldn't want is "Oh, you want to challenge Cid so he'll join your clan" or "Oh, you've hit the requirements for your Viera to become an assassin" to cost IAP resources on the side.

FFT is already premium-priced ($16 last I checked, I think), but Square seems to be going balls-deep for exploitative IAP besides (I don't think anyone in this thread would disagree about how terrible FF:ATB is). I'd love to play the full version of FFT on my iPad, but I don't want to pay $50 for a full mobile game either.

As far as Pokemans, the two to look at seem to be http://appshopper.com/games/dragon-island-blue and this one http://appshopper.com/games/zuko-monsters popped up a couple of weeks ago, not tried it yet though.
Before you snag Aliens VS Humans, realize it is a very... technical... ripoff of X-Com. It is completely humorless, the guns lack any sense of oomph (because they all use the same projectile graphics/sounds), etc.

It's very much what you get if you set a programmer out to clone a game, without the support of a decent art/sound team. Whether that satisfies you or not depends on what you're itching for.

This poo poo confuses me so much. I had a grassy plain upgrade in to hills yesterday and since I don't have the option to move stuff around yet I haven't started loving with the layouts. There's not much point to do this before year 6 right?

It's a fun little game where you ride a giant turtle and shoot things. Aim with your right thumb (that teardrop sight above the word HORDES) and tap the appropriate platform on your turtle to fire. It's not without its flaws, but it's worth playing.

People at Pocket Tactics and at BGG have compared it to FTL. I don't personally see that connection but its a pretty sweet game.

So uh...Does anything ever really change in dungelot? I made it to level 50 and had to just stop because there was no sign that it was going to change or even become more difficult. If that is all there is to it, I may have finally played an iOS game to exhaustion for once.

Yeah, I just downloaded it and started tapping squares and thought "this is pretty boring" and uninstalled it. I don't usually do that for iOS games with this kind of presentation polish, but this one just didn't seem that interesting.

Even though Dirty Punch at Level 4 says it has a 100% chance to stun, I find that it stuns about 60-75% of the time. It's definitely not 100%.

I remember grabbing this for like two bucks a couple of years ago. It's a bit like a turn-based Galcon with a few more 4X trappings. It's nothing special, but it's worth grabbing for free.

Anything I should know about Infity Blade before I play it? I went ahead to what I assume is the boss and died horribly before starting bloodline 2 but the game seems slightly more complicated then the average ipod game and I never trust a game where you can pick what stats to level.

You fight through to the boss and get squashed, then start over but keep your stats/equipment as your previous character's descendant. If you actually beat the boss, other stuff happens. The appeal ran out for me before that so I dunno what's after it.

You have to grind out a shitload of gold to buy the Infinity Blade, which unlocks a second dungeon. I never got that far, either. It's a lot of grinding if you want to see all the content.

If you pick "reset bloodline" and lose the tutorial (whiff the block by tapping instead of holding, might take a bit), the game goes negative and gives you a crazy powerful weapon and tons of cash per fight.

You have to reset again to get it to start counting up or change equipment though. Try to get to at least -10, that'll unlock the cool negative equipment to buy in the store.

I got uplink and I think my eyes got bigger than my hands, relatively speaking. I got 1200000 successfully out of a bank and jumped from like a little over novice straight to expert. Sadly, I can't seem to frame someone else for bank fraud-- every time I mod a log at InterNIC to show the last bounce pointing to the target, they keep coming after me instead :sigh:
