    I take back what I said! But here's how I think about it, movies are books you can watch, then video games are movies you can interact with :) I personally find it hard to find books that I like, and then it takes forever for the next book in that series to be released and etc.

    You can't convince me to get it, why play that when I can just read a book?

    Why play worthless casual games (as listed in your sig) instead of full-blown action games on a 360 or ps3?

    Those games aren't worthless. They are quite fun.

    Who said that I play my iPod all the time, I play my PS3 a LOT more when I'm at home, but on the go it's my iPod.

    PS: Have you heard of Grokion, that's definitely not a casual game, more for hardcore gamers, what are you 12?

    Thank you :)

    It was a comparison. Despite personal opinions, I'm pretty sure after owning 500+ paid games along with nearly every game that goes free on promotion, I know what's fun, and what's not.

    I own 600+ apps myself. So I also know what's fun and what's not.

    I haven't beat it yet because I continue to die and couldn't figure out how the map worked at first and etc. Imo Phoenix Wright is a casual game...

    my questions haven't been answered, so i post again. please answer

    1. what are games that combine unique or popular gameplay with rpg elements like upgrade, levels, shop system . something like sword and poker (poker +rpg) hook champ (swinging game + rpg) puzzle quest ( match 3 + rpg) defender chronicles (tower defense + rpg)

    2. What's a great mario-like platformer for the ipod touch?

    3. Any more unique puzzle-platformer like Shift? (been loving this game)

    thanks in advance

    Sonic, Grokion, Rolando, Toki Tori, and Bounce On are all I can think of at the moment...

    Rolando? it got alot of good reviews, should i get it?
     
  14. I hope what I'm about to say now works...

    You interact with Phoenix Wright.
    All the "books" in the Phoenix Wright series have been released already.
    Playing PW is better than reading a book because you are engrossed in a good story across 5 chapters per game, all the story is released so no waiting, it seems you do not like how regular books work.
    (I too suffer the problem with regular books, I am srill waiting for that book after Necropolis to come out! It's been 2 years! PW however was way less.)

    Best shoot em up game? Something like warblade (have it). I'd prefer if there were things like upgrades, but it's not too much of a big deal.

    Phoenix Wright is highly interactive, not 'just a book'. You control the conversations, you control the investigations, and the court cases at the end.

    Also I find it ironic that you are calling people 12 when you're the one bawwwwwing about having to read. And going on about hardcore gamers. If you're going to use an ad hominem, at least get it right.

    Advanced ROX has just been updated. For anyone looking for a modern take on the old asteroids genre i would highly recommend this game.

    Hi, I got £10 for iTunes, and I am wondering if there are any games that are cheap, and possibly multiplayer? Thanks :)

    EDIT: For iPad!
