Mass "What should I get?" Thread 2011

Chaos Rings?

Should I grab chaos rings while its on sale? My only worry is I wont like the gameplay. I really like games like secret of mana and chrono trigger but im not huge into final fantasy. Also, about how long is the playtime?

 

I'm 14 hours in and slighty over halfway done. The gameplay is pretty boring since it gets too easy very quick, it also get tedious after completing the first story. It is still a great game and worth the price.

 

I have 10 bucks left. Any really good,under $5 games? Is Lara Croft worth $6.99?
I really like dual stick shooters and RPGs,but some casual games ala Fruit Ninja or Monster Dash would be nice too.

 

Yes...

There are many good games under $5, can you be more specific about what you're looking for?

 

What would be the best cricket sim? I'm bored of games like stick cricket and most other games that are too arcadish and you are expected to score a boundary off each ball. So, are there any good and challenging cricket sim games on the app store?

 

I bought Zenonia two instead of one. Should I play one before two? Is there any plot that I'll be missing out on going straight to the second?

 

They're related, but you can easily play through the second one without knowing anything about the first. It's the same universe, and there are some tie-ins with the first game, but for the most part it's a whole separate storyline.

 

Any game what is like Diner dash , but you can upgrade stuff there ?

 

Is Nom: Billion Year Timequest worth $0.99? Are there any games it can be compared too? How's gameplay? Thanks in advance.

 

Game Dev Story or The Tower (iPad)?

 

A Lite was released yesterday.

 

Alright, thanks.

 

Is Dungeon Defenders good? How is the gameplay?

 

Secret of Mana or Shadow Guardian?

 

Secret of Mana if you at all like action RPGs. Shadow Guardian has gotten lukewarm reviews.

Edit: Also I'm more reluctant to purchase EA and Gameloft games because maybe irrationally I now assume they'll be $0.99 one day (except Dungeon Hunter 1, which still refuses the holiday sales). Yes, I do know this mentality is part of what's wrong with app gaming...

 

I have Shadow Guardian and Secret of Mana for my SNES (not SG though...), and I have to give my vote for Secret of Mana. Shadow Guardian is a decent game, but it gets pretty boring after a while, and the shooting scenes aren't as good as in other Gameloft shooters like Modern Combat 2.

 

I'm looking for a good .99 cent game. I want something good and one I can delve into. Any ideas I'm open to all and I don't have alot of the current games

 

Spiderman or Prince of Persia.

 

+1 for Spidey!
