    RISE OF LOST EMPIRES!!!

    I was so excited for that game, the screen shots looked great... well, turns out the graphics were not so good, the game play was clunky at best and no skirmish mode made for no re-playability.

    And it was my first stint with Gameloft, so my hopes of updates and improvements were shot to sh*t.

    Doom

    Terrible controls. There is no way for anyone to make an FPS with good controls on this platform.

    Infinity Project, I know it's pretty good for 59p however I found it repetitive and annoying

    Yes. Minigore was definitely one. I can't think of many others at the moment, but I have frequently fallen prey to this.

    Yep. Im an idiot. Gameloft are dirty little con-artists who know how to swindle a fella with eye candy.

    In all seriousness, Its not a bad game. Just has crappy multi. I did find it too easy, even with the recoil.

    Edit: Regret may be too strong of a word for games especially since both were about a buck each. How about strong dislike or personal bust? Yeah, that's the ticket.

    Regret for me is minigore. and yes albie it is regret in my opinion. of course everyone has different opinions. But the game is just so boring. It's exactly the same thing everytime. I got bored after 2 minutes.

    I don't exactly know if this had any hype around it, but I would say it had some... Underground. The game is well presented and the soundtrack fits the game well, but the gameplay is where it lacks. It just doesn't hook you enough, it isn't smooth enough and... just isn't fun to play. It's a shame since the game had all the other elements to success. :i

    I don't disagree with you there on MG. I don't know...regret should be saved for something that's actually important.

    Yes. I thought Gameloft's FPSs (plural) would make my ipod amazing, but I found them cramped, and pretty boring...same with assassins creed.

    Made me want to throw my phone against the wall, I was never able to get a hang of the controls. Looked good, but it was flawed.
