Let's see Eternal Sonata, Tekken, Taiko Drum Master, and a REAL Katamari Damacy game. I'm sick of all these rehashes of ancient games. Booooo!!

There's nothing wrong with NEW interpretations of classic IPs if the classic interpretations are made available (and made in a manner that shows some care in bringing it over). Especially if the new interpretations are GOOD. Namco does that. id does that. Even EA, on some level, does that. BOTH classics (with appropriate iTouch/Phone controls) and NEW offerings, either based on older IPs or brand new ones. Apparently everyone else does what Segain't. Shame that...Sega has the power to rule the roost, but they just can't get it together. Ladies and gentlemen, another member of the blind nostalgia brigade is revealed.

That is the worst virtual D-pad I have ever seen, even worse than the one in Boulder Dash. Given that Namco's early iPhone games had decent controls (notably Pac-Man), what the hell's happened? Dig Dug's controller was iffy, but this looks atrocious, and it's a huge shame because Pac-Man Arrangement is a *fantastic* game and an iPhone equivalent would be brilliant—if the controller hadn't been designed by a three-year-old with a set of crayons.
