    no, me neither. Perhaps SD isn't my Desert Island game, but is it THAT bad to warrant all this hoohaa...

    While dogmeat has a point about the Internet and the need for people to complain, this whole thing SD seems to have snowballed. It's not like SD is really terrible.

    Exactly, People are seriously hating SD! I know people have opinions but they're acting like it's one of the worst games ever! I enjoy every minute of this game, I think it is spectacular. :cool: I mean seriously I've played some awful games.

    bashing = generating hype.

    Think about it, they're getting all the coverage they could possibly want. Although a few people disagree or are negative about it, its keeping SD on the front page and on the forums.

    its like 60% yes, 40% no for me

    the 40 $ no is me getting caught up in the hype, not thinking will my wallet, and getting burned by getting caught in the moment

    generally TA has introduced me to a lot of games that i would not have otherwise known about

    the members are great on here...But i've learned to let the hype train move on by for a week or two..then the honest opinions come out...then i can decide if i want it or not

    If it weren't for TA I would have only like 5 apps lol, not including Zenonia or any other hyped game that I wouldn't have even heard of.

    I found out about almost every single game I have by reading TouchArcade. All the news appears so fast here, compared to other sites.

    Heck yes. Any app I have that isn't in the top 50 is basically through TA. And it helps me no buy games too, like Star Defence.

    I buckled under the pressure last night and bought Peggle + stoneloops

    All because of TA

    Peggle is really nice :)

    Going to try stoneloops this morning.

    TA has helped me spend masses of money which i am annoyed about but it makes you for it by helping you steer away from bad ones.
