    This post is hilarious. "You're" dumb because "I" got many hours of playtime? That doesn't make the least of senses to me, because the last time I checked you and the OP aren't the same person. Ugh so many moronic posts like this on this forum it's funny.
    I disliked HoS and DH also, and no I don't really care if "you" got many hours of playtime out of it, since unfortunately that has nothing to do with me.
    Others:
    - Peggle (not worth the price)
    - Minigore (most shallow dual-stick shooter ever, "updates" come out at the rate of about one or two per year without significant changes)
    - Tap Fu (repetitive)
    - Cherry Drift (there's really not much to do in this game...)
    - Samurai Way of the Warrior (way too many bugs, and I dislike all the swiping gestures, moves get confused for attacks and vice-versa happens at a frequent rate)
    - UniWar (horrible game engine causes extreme lag in solo play)
    - Fieldrunners (no fast forward function until the game's almost over, ridiculously slow pace, and practically abandoned by developers)
    - Garters & Ghouls (ridiculously slow-paced and simple, and high price)

    Just tried guardian soul. I gave it 30 mins then bye bye. The game was pure shit to be honest alternativly was my version flawed coz the sound stopped playing at random, soundeffects coming where there shouldent be any and the control was totally wack. The grafic aspect of the game was bad to begin with but also had glitches. Maybe the game dont like 3gs? Anyway, i cant imagine myself playing that horrible game anyway cuz i absolutley didnt get the story nor the objective of the game either so i guess i regret that one also. :D

    Guardian Soul - Spastic movement, much too expensive

    iFPS - What the hell is the point of an online FPS shooter if there's no one to play against?

    Asphalt 4 - Terrible graphics. Looks like something from GBA.

    Boxhead - Not as good as the online version at all- slow and controls aren't as nice.

    Too many to list but just to name a few:
    Prey Invasion - just plain terrible
    Alien crisis - and i paid for this?
    My brute - just dont get the point. maybe if i had some sort of control in the fights themselves rather then just committing to someone's dojo
    Robocalypse - didn't live up to my expectations
    International Athletics - personally preferred the more simple track and field
    Iron Fist boxing 3 - Fantastic graphics do not make a good game
    Flick Fishing - found it boring and repetitive
    Samurai WOTW - the constant swiping motion became very boring after a while
    Stick wars/Cartoon Wars - got sucked into all the positive hype
    Asphalt 4 - terrible game once the update came out
    BMW F1 - had high hopes from watching gameplay vids on youtube
    Horror racing - fun for a while but then just didn't see the point
    Crazy Choppers - really wanted to like it
    Wings Galaxy - looked brilliant but again, graphics do not make a good game
    Dexter - really wanted to love it but couldn't get into it
    Hero Of Sparta - could have been one of the best but it was way too short
    Hip Hop All Star/DJ Mix Tour - normally love music rhythm games but meh
    World of Tunes - see above
    Payback - meh for a sandbox style game
    Genesis - didn't see the point
    Cockadoodle Inc - for a time management game it didn't grab me like sallys spa, sallys salon,ranch rush, supermarket mania or standofood
    Ny Nights - so the point is...?
    Caster - just meh for a platformer
    5 Minutes To Kill Yourself - shame too cause i loved Amateur Surgeon
    GoGo Rescue - to slow to hold my attention
    Rolando + Rolando 2 - I know, blasphemey! But i just never got into them, although i have high hopes of doing so one day cause my gf loves them
    Topple 1 + 2 - found them to be too boring
    ICC Twenty 20 - for a sports game i felt it was too slow paced, even if it was for cricket

    Flight Control/Harbor Master - those two were great, but no more line drawing games for me. Thank god I didn't get Aqua Glob or Taxi Fare or 33rd Division, etc...

    iDracula/Isotope - no more dual stick shooters either. I saved money not getting meteor blitz, cs:eek:ne, alive4ever, minigore, etc...

    Castle Defense/Knights Onrush - these two games got old extremely fast. I won't buy another game in this genre either.

    Castle Warrior/Galcon - Galcon was good, and led me to buy Castle Warrior, which is a complete waste of $0.99. I would've enjoyed flushing 0.99 down the toilet more than playing Castle Warrior.

    Countless tower defense games - the only ones that I've enjoyed playing are Fieldrunners, geoDefense, swarm, and Defender Chronicles. TD games that I've regret buying are Crystal Defense, The Creeps, Dungeon Defense, Sentinel, Elemon TD, and especially Star Defense. Looking back, I rather gave the $19 I've spent on those game directly to the developer of Defender Chronicles.

    While pocket god has an incredible amount of content, I found I just didn't enjoy the gameplay itself all that much. Perhaps I am getting old..

    Mini gore looked fantastic, but it got very boring very quickly.

    iFPS online looked to be fun, then I discovered there was no one to play it with.

    Doodle Jump. I had got addicted to Papi Jump as my go to time killer for awhile, I think that ruined me. Played Doodle Jump for 10 minutes and have not been back to it since, burned out on the genre I suppose. Oh well ;)

    is it me or is it that all the games we suck sometimes come from the devs we thought were like gods? for example, gameloft, and chillingo ltd.

    uhm..you may think devs are gods..thats ur thing..rofl

    and both GL and Chillingo do make good games. just cause GL makes copies doesnt make them any less fun, would u rather have an imitation or none at all? And Chillingo has produced many successful and entertaining apps. so idfk what ur talkin bout.

    those are all really good apps. how can u talk down about Samurai: WOTW? that game's artwork are amazing, the swiping motion in innovative and if they would've done it any other way it wouldnt of been as good. HoS was a great game, plenty of chapters imo, and even after u finished the game u could go back and fully upgrade ur weps. Rolando 2 is the first of the series i played, and i found it to be very fun. Topple 1+2, not the best apps, but to regret them? nahh. they're good, unless u suck :rolleyes:

    Your amazed by GL when you first get a game but after a few days you regret your purchase as none of their games have replay value

    gameloft's games are under acheiving. They are a company based on profit. They dont care what we think about it as long as it makes money. Example ASSASSINS CREED, IT WAS SOOOO BAD. I cant beleive people think that it qualifies as one of the best iphone games. jumpjumpjumpjumpjump hackhackhack jumpjumpjumpjump hackhackhack. then repeat.

    Chillingo merely produces games it doesnt make em. The devs include moregames, game faction, etc. More games has made some pretty darn good games. Idracula, knights onrush, quest knights onrush (which needs a full version RIGHT NOW).
