    Siberian Strike was a lot of fun. For some reason people griped about the 2D / 3D mix, but I thought it looked pretty good. Another one I've really enjoyed is iFighter. The lite version actually came out long before the paid version, but I decided to wait and just picked up the paid version when it came out. No regrets at all.

    my game A Shoot Shoota got released today. It has a retro feel like tyrian, but it plays like a makeshift arcade game.

    Radiant looks cool at first, but then you realize that it's a very basic shooter. The gameplay is also really slow.

    It has a lot of charm besides that. The between mission dialogue is laugh out loud funny and it has some replayability with the different weapons you can get.

    Sure, it's no Infinity Gene, but I felt I got my money out of it and then some.

    I personally enjoyed Radiant, and I'm probably going to embarrass myself by saying this, but there was one point fairly early on that I got stuck, so I didn't find it too easy. I haven't tried Infinity Gene yet, though, so I don't really have a reference point for comparison.

    So I was about to buy SkyDragon, but for some reason, it's been pulled from the app store?

    It shows up, but when I try to buy it, it says the item is no longer available :(

    That's a bummer, because SkyDragon was on my list of games to buy. I sent the developer an email, so we'll see if they respond back or not. I'm guessing probably not. It also looked from their web site that they had a pretty wicked RPG for the iPhone as well, though I can't tell much about it since the web site isn't in English. I'll let you know if I hear anything about SkyDragon.

    I actually got a response back from the developer already. The synopsis is "we took it down to upgrade, and it will be back at some point". I don't know why they'd have to remove a game from the store just to do an update, but there you have it.

    Nope, he didn't really get into much specifics about it.
