    I said don't look here!
    Is 100 Rogues Worth the 4.99, I loved sword of fargoal but it has always felt like it is lacking something, and my iPod wasn't connecting to wifi/my pc so I didn't grab 100 rogues right away, now I have my new replacement iPod, and am hesitating to buy the game because everything I read about 100 rogues is bad (at least for now) Is it worth my $$ or should I keep saving for mirrors edge..

    Agreed. Skate It is way too technical for someone who doesn't really care much about skateboarding. It's a good game, but the learning curve is STEEP, and if you're not dead set on learning them, you'll never get them. THPS2 is nice and simple, no crazy designs to draw or weird accelerometer movements. Just some simple button combos. And Touchgrind is exactly like fingerboarding. It's practically a simulation. Definetly go for one of those two, preferrably THPS2.

    And the dude who wanted a cheap but awesome and in-depth game, go for N.Y.Zombies.

    Try the light version of the first one. It is pretty long and gives you a good taste of the game. Personally, I didn't like it very much.

    I usually don't like zombie themed games, but I will take a look at it. Thank you.

    Save your money...but not for Mirrors Edge

    Anyways... go save for Prince of Persia or Splinter Cell.

    Yeah I already have touchgrind. I wouldn't mind learning the controls for Skate it, they seem fun. I do, however, remember playing THPS2 on the Ps1 back in the days. I am just not sure..I like the content of Skate it
    and the controls seem fun but Tony Hawk is fun as well. I have another question. How do both of them perform on an Ipod Touch 2g? Are they both smooth?

    Agreed. I have 100 Rogues, and I'm just... confused... as to what to do. Fargoal is better IMO, so if you already have that, I don't think you need 100 Rogues.

    And definetly save up for Zombie Infection, Splinter Cell, or Prince of Persia. ZI is insane, and at the pace GL is going, Splinter Cell and Prince of Persia are going to be mind-blowing.

    Well I wasn't really in any certain mood for any genres, but after playing Plushed Lite, I'm definitely craving some platformers, so I'm focusing on Rayman 2, Alice in Wonderland, and Plushed the most out of my list right now. If I bunch those together, is it easier to recommend one? :p

    Does Dexter last a decent amount of time? Will I feel satisfied with the purchase when I beat the game? Or is it on the "2 hours long, nothing to do after that" side of the coin?

    I was fine with the controls in the Lite version of Rayman 2, but unfortunately there was no combat to be had in the game, so I'm still unsure how those controls are. If I was fine with the controls of platforming and exploration, will I be okay with the controls of combat? It's so strange how the one control question I've had since its release, I finally thought it would be answered with the Lite version, but alas... Nope :p

    So are the combat controls in Rayman okay? Will I get used to them?

    Thank you for the response, and thank you for the input. I'm just a tad bit worried that the devs that brought Ozone out are the kind that believe sales are detrimental to their credibility :eek: I've been waiting for a sale, but I have a feeling it will be a long time until that happens. Hopefully this feeling is the opposite of what's true :cool:

    Ok this is pissing me off, I keep asking a question, and then someone else asks' one right after I do, and his gets anwsered, and mine forgotten, so I will ask AGAIN,

    Is Apple's Texas Hold 'Em, worth the money, I want a good poker game, that I can play in potrait, I don't want S&P, and I don't want it to be part of a "Here's 30 Card games" thing.

    I've never had any framerate issues with either. The only thing is that in THPS2, when you bail and the combo list and score slides off the screen, there's some lag, but it's only for a few seconds, and considering that you've already bailed, it doesn't make a difference. Other than that, the game runs smoother than it did on my PC and N64.

    Skate It definetly wins in the content department though... There's a ton to do, see, and create. If all you're concerned about is content, go with Skate It, but the controls are unresponsive at times, leading to a lot of frusteration.

    They're both great games, but I prefer THPS2. It's just overall more fun, and it has the nostalgia factor going for it (minus the crappy soundtrack... what were they thinking?), but Skate It is the most realistic skater on the platform (Touchgrind doesn't count), and the amount of content is a huge bonus. Plus, if you've played Skate on the 360 or PS3, you'll instantly recognize a lot of areas in Skate It.

    If no one responds, that means we just don't have an answer. I, personally, have never played that game, but it seems good enough. Really, though, how can you screw up a poker game, other than completely ruining the UI or having completely broken AI, but that's about it.

    I don't see what's wrong with getting one of the free ones though. They let you play poker, but without having to pay for it. Plus, you get other games on top of that.

    Yeah what SomeRandomDude said. We haven't played every game that's out there. I don't know about World Series of Poker, I've been looking into it but haven't brought myself to buy it yet. But I think I'll cave in a day or two ;)

    If you haven't got Sword and poker yet you're really missing out. It IS a fantastic game.

    It may be fantastic to you, but not everyone enjoys an RPG/Card game hybrid. I, for one, don't think it's all that amazing. But that's just my input :p


    I haven't played Apple's Texas Hold 'Em, but have you tried out Card Ace: Hold 'Em?

    It's a Texas Hold 'Em game that I think is pretty fun, it's online (has an offline mode I believe), and it's free. So what are you waiting for? :cool:

    As for landscape.. I'm not sure about that.
