    Just to continue this conversation: Helsing's Fire is great, can't believe you don't have it. IDK about No Human!, but pick HF up right now.

    Any other bigger games coming out soon?

    Sounds like a plan. Helsing's Fire it is.

    I know NOVA 2 is imminent, although it doesn't sound like you're a huge shooter fan. Mission Europa is in beta right now, but God knows how long that's gonna take... Suffice to say, though, it's gonna be HUGE compared to Necromancer Rising. The 4th Gamebook Adventures is also in beta, and I highly recommend it so far. Can't think of any other RPG's, though.

    Final Fantasy Tactics and Secret of Mana are supposedly still in the works but not sure when they'll be released.

    Also, any free roam games?
    Of course GTA, CJS, all the MMO's, Gangstar, any RPG...
    I'm getting a little tired of everything having straight forward levels with one path, and need something where I can just roam and do whatever I want.

    Too bad, RPGs are the best for me, no doubt. They give me the experience of a good story without having to read much in a foreign language. I had a hard time reading Star Breed when I was in beta, no matter how great it was.
    Anyway yea, not a big fan of shooters, but thanks for the info. : D
    Max Adventiure looks good too tho, thankfully I'm in the next beta round for that...

    Ah, yeah, I might check out Star Breed too. I'm a pretty big fan of gamebooks, so that's right up my alley.

    But RPG's are definitely the best games ever. Most of my top games are either RPG's (Final Fantasy X) , Text Based (Phoenix Wright), or heavily influenced by storylines (METAL GEAR!!!).

    And dude... Nice recommendation with Helsing's Fire. Just picked it up, and I'm almost kicking myself for waiting this long to get it. Awesome sense of humor, creative puzzles, and overall just awesome.

    Glad you like it! I can't believe that Cut the Rope is more successful than HF, even same publisher.
    A bit less glad that you said PW, reminded me of my promise to get it. : D

    Edit: and yea, try Star Breed, great stuff.

    Haha, man, you shouldn't regret that promise one bit. Get it now while it's on sale. The way I figured it, as on the last page, it's about $0.10 per hour of gameplay on sale right now. So if you end up not liking it, it's not like it's a ton of wasted money.

    Plus, it's one of the best storylines I've played in a long time, which sounds like is something that's pretty important to you. There's a lot of reading, but it's really worth it for such a fantastic game. It's not difficult reading (seeing as English isn't your first language, although you do speak it pretty well), so it shouldn't be a hassle to read through.

    And I'm surprised both Angry Birds and Cut the Rope are beating out Helsing's Fire, tbh. I liked Angry Birds and all, but holy crap is that game overrated! I haven't given Cut the Rope a shot yet, but it seems pretty fun.

    Honestly, though, their other puzzle game that I LOVED got almost no attention. Aztec Quest was a really fun physics puzzler that even included a level editor! I don't see one in Angry Birds, or in Cut the Rope (there might be though, not quite sure). Plus, I just love the game's physics, and it challenged my mind quite a few times, as is Helsing's (I keep having the urge to type it as Hellsing...) Fire.

    As far as I know, it isn't on sale right now (and according to AppShopper the last sale was 13 weeks ago), so I don't know what you're talking about. : D
    I hope it's good, but the only positive about it seems to be that you like it. : D

    Bah. I don't know how I'll get. By until Aralon without buying games, as after the games I'm betaing are done, I'll have nothing to do, and I can,t think of any other hobby related to iDevice gaming.

    Really? Crap... The main thread said it was on sale, so it might just be a case (no pun intended) of someone forgetting to change the thread title. Still, it's worth those two extra bucks, if you're into the storyline as much as I.

    Actually, try checking out Youtube videos first to see if it looks like your kinda thing. Watch all of case 1 if need be, since that doesn't give away much of the story. It's more or less a setup for the rest of the game, and mostly just shows the characters and how the game works, minus the exploration phases. Watch a video or two and let me know what you think.

    Nah, I trust you if you say I'll like it. I'll get a card from com2us for Queen's Crown previewing, I'll buy PW with that.
    Now all I have left too do is getting some new hobby. : D

    Sick! Sounds good, man.

    And as for a hobby, I'm trying to get into skateboarding again (sorta... didn't work out too well the first time. No injuries or anything, I'm just crappy). Might I suggest trying a hobby like that?

    Ahh, would be... Weird for me. Ever watched The Big Bang Theory? If yes, you know what i mean if i say that i'm about as outdoorsy as Sheldon. Also, a skate board would probably brake under my weight. : D
    To stay on topic, any decent unknown RPG I might like? :D

    Lol, still, it's worth a shot. I don't see why not... It'll get ya outdoors (which is always a plus, even if you're like Sheldon). Plus, those boards are pretty strong, so don't worry about it breaking... I only busted mine today trying to ollie because I left it out in the rain...

    That said, I'm sure you have all the good ones. The only one I'd recommend that's really unknown is now gone from the App Store for contract reasons... So yeah, can't think of anything other than wait for the games you already mentioned.

    Meh, maybe... I can't imagine myself doing it though.

    This is when I'm sad that the Store is still pretty new compared to other consoles, meh, I can live with it.

    I wasn't a big fan of Samurai 1 (insert hate posts here ;)), is there anything significantly different to make me like the new one?

    RAAAAAGE! Lol jk, if the controls are what irked you in the first one, you'll be pleasantly surprised by the new control scheme. Joystick to move, buttons to execute moves, it works perfect.
