    Here
    Apologies for posting twice in a row, but the last post was more of a reply post and I found some stuff I was looking for (or possibilities that is) to buy. Anyways, I was looking through app reviews on 148 apps (it's easier to randomly look for stuff there, too...) and found some apps that looked interesting that I might have not checked out. So-here goes---Where's My Water---I did not like (at all, really) Feed Me Oil. Should I grab WMW? And is Max Adventure good for a buck? MAMC if i don't like match 3s normally? And Flick Soccer pretty good if I don't own f-k-f (that's flick kick football for the dirty minded ;)). I'll be buying Bike Baron and Jaggy Race tonight, and maybe Squids or GarageBand later on....any other suggestions by the way?

    HD is intended for iPad users. No differences if you don't have an iPad.

    Should I be getting WELDER? Is it a must-have, I guess is what I'm asking.

    I loved Max Adventure. Its pretty short game (~1 and a half hours for story mode), but its got a light hearted story & environment to me. Most dual stick shooters I played seem to be more "serious" and darker tone. I replayed Max Adventure only once..and played the survival mode a little. This was the first game that I actually tried getting all the achievements. If you like the lite version and want more..for only 0.99, its worth it.

    Okay so I'm torn between Whale Trail, Zombieville 1 and 2. I can only choose 1 at the moment so any help is appreciated. Thanks!

    To start off, I would say get Zombieville 2 over 1. You don't need to play the first one to enjoy the second.

    Now it's between Zombieville 2 and Whale Trail. Whale Trail is strictly a casual endless runner; it's beautiful and fun. Zombieville 2 is a side-scrolling game; you move left to right killing zombies.

    The reason I touch based on describing them is because they are different. If you want a casual play 'n' go game get Whale Trail. If you want something with a little more depth and gameplay/options get Zombieville 2.

    From my experience with the two games, I can play Whale Trail (and similar games) a few times a week and be satisfied. With Zombieville 2, I dedicate more time to it trying to level up guns and skills.

    I would suggest getting Zombieville 2 now, and then getting Whale Trail later.

    Well Zombieville 2 is pretty hard and there's IAP for more coins and stuff... Both are good, though ZV 2 is quite odd cause it takes a lot time to collect enough coins for different weapons... Whale Trail is awesome, no IAP :D
     
  14. Zombieville 2 doesn't have IAP... or did I miss it in the new update?

    Hows Where's My Water, Flick Soccer, Monsters Ate My Condo if i'm not usually a match 3 fan, Squids if I'm not an rpg fan, Reckless Racing, and Max Adventure if I own Minigore? Buying Bike Baron right now. Also: how much play-time would you say there is in Jet Car Stunts or Scribblenauts? Thanks!

    MAMC is great. I'm not really a match 3 fan either, but MAMC is more than a match 3 game, the visuals + power ups and addition of mascots really mixes things up and makes it pretty fun.

    I'd personally advise waiting for a sale (as i will, based on the hd version's sales). Also it doesn't have retina from what I've heard if you care about that...
