This week’s episode of The TouchArcade Show is a weird one. We recorded on a short week, so we weren’t able to spend a ton of time with games we haven’t already talked about. As a result, we’re kinda all over the place. BLOPS 2, Borderlands 2, Wii U, and other games stuff takes center stage, while iOS takes something of a backseat. If you’ve yet to hear one of our fabled off-topic podcasts, you’ll definitely want to tune in to this.
There is some iOS games-specific discussion. When we break into the segment, we spend a few minutes on what’s wrong with Madden Social. Later, Eli dives into Endless Drive, and Jared tells us all about Dragon’s Dream.

This week’s episode of The TouchArcade Show is sponsored by Amuses Me Games’ upcoming iPad game, Go Go Redball. It’ll be available November 29th at 99¢.
Go Go Redball for iPad is a simple, beautiful, physics-based game. You toss a red rubber ball around the screen and it bounces with a satisfying “bop". There are four open-ended minigames that offer endless replayability — just like bouncing a real ball.
The graphics, sound, and interface have all been refined to a high degree. From realistic soft shadows to a shag carpet that *sounds* right, everything in this simple game has been carefully designed.
Go Go Redball for iPad will be available on November 29 for the introductory price of $0.99.
None of the links work? Argh can't listen to the weekly cast arghhhhh going to self destruct.

Wow hands down the best Podcast they've ever done. The podcasts are always better when they spend 15-20 minutes just talking about the random stuff that they're up to.

I'm not ashamed to state I have a tee shirt that says "More Cowbell"
A bit too thin on the song front with this game
To me, having more that one “track” of cowbell to tap on violates the very soul of cowbellity itself.
This is just plain idiotic. 16 songs of cowbell will get very old, very fast. I'm sure it'll be downloaded by many for novelty purposes. Ill give it a shot because....why not?!
As a huge fan of the SNL sketch you would know it's not "the cowbell player's plight to get his instrument of choice featured more prominently in the band's songs". It's The Bruce Dickinson that demands more cowbell.
How lame,corny and late.
Mustache hero next...
*fart noise*
It's nice to see a game come along that lets people who play "Hero"games know how trite those games feel to actual musicians. lol
I found it informative as I have been researching a lot lately on such matters such as you talk about. Thanks
why i can't play this game. please show me how to cross this
