nice my AT&T contract expires Sept 24 so i’ll be gone then. just right before the network gets destroyed due to picture messaging.
it already can’t handle the apps
thinking about getting htc hero on oct 11th
Here are a few thoughts on Blades of Fury after about an hour of play.
For an Iphone game it’s surprisingly deep. Don’t expect something like street fighter though of course.
You have a d-pad (or joystick by preference) and 4 buttons.
normal attack
heavy attack
Block (holding block allows you to crouch when pressing down and jump while pressing up instead of you don’t hold block you’ll sidestep)
And Special
You can combo some attacks off each other. I don’t know much about combos but most I got without using special attacks was 4 hits. There’s throws, guard breaks, and ring outs.
It plays a lot like soul calibur and looks heavily like it as well.
So far I’m enjoying it but I can’t guarantee everyone will, maybe 6$ for it is a little much but if it goes on sale it’s definately worth it.
Another quality title by Gameloft came out today.
Dungeon Hunter ($6.99)
Yes once again the price is a bit steep but this game is fine quality. I was really surprised by the work that went into it, it looks great.
Basically it’s a dialbo clone on iphone. You can either have a joystick to move like in Hero of Sparta or you can swith to the diablo point and click mode. 3 different classes that actually do have variety to them. A deep story (from what I’ve seen so far) and a pretty damn good battle system.
I don’t want to oversell it but I was pleasantly surprised when I bought it this morning and I recommend it.
Quick question: When I look at my fill-meter in itunes it says I have let’s say
3gigs audio
40mb pictures
2 gigs Apps
1.5 gigs OTHER
Wtf falls in OTHER? I’d get rid of that shit if I could. I thought it was save files but 1.5 gigs worth of save files?
do you use installous? it saves the games before it installs and its stored in other
you can delete them from settings
I don’t recall anything called installous. I haven’t jailbroken it if it’s a cydia app.
Sup guys, Im working on an Interactive design project at SCAD, and we’re working on an location based iphone game, and it is partially sponsored by Yahoo. I just wanna kno wat current iphone apps/games/technology yall think are the more interesting/innovative/fun. Or if you have anything iphone related that you think is neat jus lemme kno. The project will last for about 3-5 months, so something like Augmented reality isnt really doable. But any help would be great. Thx guys
A few quick notes:
Gamevil’s next RPG “Hybrid” is scheduled to come out tonight or tomorrow. Look out for it.
And for this weekend only, Tales of Monkey island dropped from $7.99 to $3.99.
How good is Monkey Island?
I downloaded madden 10 and it’s suprisingly good for the iPhone. Granted it’s not ps3, but it never was meant to be.
Duke Nukem 3d for Iphone is on sale for $0.99 this weekend.
And just for the record, Hybrid from Gamevil is fucking great. Well worth the $6.
i like those ‘solve a bunch of puzzles to escape the room’ games too. are there any decent ones for the iphone?
One. I love you man. You keep me up on the great deals.
Second. So I got DN3D and it’s so clean and runs so smooth on the iPhone. I’m almost offended. BUT OMG THE CONTROLS. Best FPS controls I’ve seen so far but Apple needs to add a slide out d-pad and buttons or something. This is rough. Only way the game could make the controls better is if they let you mix analog and digital. Like DN3D is old so there was no analog walk/run. If I could just have digital walking with analog looking it would be better…
I’ll look around and get back to you later today.
You’re welcome! It’s nice to know the thread helps someone, sometimes I Just feel like I’m double/triple posting in a thread by myself.
The controls are indeed weird, but they are now so much better than they were. When this game originally came out it had some of the worst controls an Iphone game ever got. Then the Devs came on forums and asked for advice, took it all in and fixed it up a bit. He’s still working on it.
If anyone had any interest in the Diablo clone I talked about a few days ago (Dungeon Hunter from Gameloft), it’s been pulled from the app store temporarily. The game would glitch and die upon entering one of the later castles so they are fixing it be re-releasing it. I hope it’s soon, I LOVE this game and can’t wait to start progressing again.
I was asked to do a complete list of all I have and whether or not I recommend it. So here goes. Please keep in mind this is just my personal opinion, don’t blame me if you buy a game I like and find it laaaame. Scale of * (shitty) to ***** (Great game) with a side of + (might be bad but it’s free)

Just purchased an iTouch 16gb model refurbished from apple themselves during the weekend. Got shipped early this morning so I will be getting this soon by my birthday…Damn spending impulse lol. Anyways I was looking into jailbreaking since I like the word free but I’m torn, Anybody who has theirs’ jailbroken can let me know if the iTouch gets buggy or what-not, I’ve read of people having their shit bricked lol, although i suspect cuz they did it wrong…Thanks for your help.
There’s a thread specifically for jailbroken Ipods/iphones. I’d prefer keeping this for normal apps.
Ah ok. Thanks for the heads up.
Wanted to post a few quick notes on some I’ve been playing lately.
Dungeon Hunter; I already posted what kind of game it is (Diablo clone). I’ve been playing more and i’m really enjoying it. The game is currently down from the app store because the game fucks up at a level called the Forge. It’s around level 38-40 and I’m only level 22. So far though this is a very solid game. The skill trees are very deep for an Iphone game. Each class has something like 15-18 skills all with different levels of course but each start to reminesce of WoW. I’ve been playing Rogue and I can go down the stealth path, giving me invisible sneak abilities and increasing my damage when coming out of stealth. Or I can go for the dual wield of non dagger weapons to maximize damage output in the long run instead of short run. Shit there’s even poisons.
Overall I’m really eager for the game to get patched up. I haven’t been playing as much as I want because I don’t want to hit that invisible wall at the Forge. I can’t recommend this game enough though.
Hybrid: A good hack and slash but very hard i find. I’ve been looking on other forums and people either find it MAD HARD or MAD EASY. I find it hard. Maybe I built up my stats wrong but I’m at the 3rd boss and he is kicking my ass like a red headed stepchild. It is a very complex game in terms of skills/attacks.
You have your regular attack button. You can perform different combos by pressing some directions while comboing. You can also switch which stance to perform different combos. You can also hold the attack button after a few hits to perform a “gravity” skill. You can also perfom Magic skills by swiping your finger on the screen in different directions (4 different patterns to discern the magics).And after a magic skill you can perform a Soulblade by timing a few button presses with animations on the screen during the Magic skill to set it off. Then During the Soul Blade animation you have to choose between Thrust and Slash (decided by which button presses during the animation).
I’m sorry, that’s complex and deep and all. But that’s just too damn much for an Iphone game. It’s like they asked their devs for ideas and just took them all. My other big problem is swiping your finger for magic skills. There’s not a big problem when facing right but when you face left, some of the swipe motions will make you accidentally hit the D pad which means your magic skill is cancelled and you probably just moved into an enemy attack.
I think the system lacks some things but overall I’m really enjoying it. The story is deep and interesting (I think more developed than Zenonia which is saying something in terms of Iphone games). I’ll play some more and post later.
Lumines Touch Fusion for Iphone is out ($2.99)
There’s a lite version as well for those who want to test it out because from what I read, the controls are very hard to get used to.
Edit: After playing it, yes the controls are hard to get used to.
Square Enix also announced a couple of new titles:
Song Summoner
and Hills and RIvers Remain
More
I wouldn’t get too excited yet. The games Square enix have been putting out on Iphone are pretty shitty.
Edit #2: Baseball Superstars 2010 from Gamevil was also released yesterday!
