    If you have the space definitely get MC4. Definitely one of the best FPS, and highly recommended now that it's on sale. Sonic CD is very enjoyable also.
    I haven't got ABC so can't tell you anything about that.

    Look out your window.
    If you like minecraft, yes. Watch a video. Hard to sum up Minecraft.

    Basically, you survive a period simulating day and night cycles, building your shack to live, finding stuff to use, killing zombies and eating sheep.

    $6 is nothing. Get it.

    For a couple of iCade compatible shmups:

    Raiden Legacy - old school awesomeness, great collection of some classics

    Danmaku Unlimited 2 - a recent and absolutely beautiful bullet hell shmup

    hey guys I've been on a LONG iOS hiatus (2 years I think) and have no games younger than that.

    I have a $10 card, what are the most atmospheric, artistic games (retro graphics is a plus)?

    Are there good nautical, ocean/pirate related games?

    PC gaming is great, but nothing beats the convenience of a little device. Just had a 90s kick and played through Pirates! Gold and Wing Commander.

    Wow,you just played two of my all-time favorite games. If you added any Ultima games from Lord British you would have nailed the trifecta.

    As for a game suggestion, how about Sword & Sworcery? Seems to fit all your necessary ingredients.

    Ultima's on the docket! I actually played S&S, the PC version. Any differences in the iOS version to make a return journey worthwhile?

    Just bought 1000000 and am in the mood for games of a similar style; unfortunately I missed Knights of Pen & Paper when it was free, but I may still get it. Opinions about it & possibly others like it? Any RPG/puzzle hybrids are welcome. :D

    Just bought an iPad 4, it's my first ever iPad only ever had iPhones before and have still got my iPhone 5. I'm looking for good iPad games that are worth getting. Preferably iPad exclusives like I just got magic the gathering and baldurs gate. I have 100's if not 1000's of apps/games for my iPhone so I wanna know what's worth getting for the iPad. Cheers.

    Also liking the the look of the new space rts, can't think of name tho. Any good?
    Thanks

    Legend Four is free and fun, and Sword & Poker 2 has a lite version.

    I was lucky to pick it up during the sale. Fantastic game, definitely worth picking it up.

    If you don't already have it, get Dungeon Raid. Ridiculously addictive with a lot of replay value.

    Trifecta!! :)

    I actually don't know what the differences are (if any) in the iOS version and PC versions. Whenever I say something like this, I immediately think, "Gee, I could have googled that and sounded smart."

    Chrono Trigger is essential; stop whatever you're doing and download it immediately.

    I'm about to buy a iPad. Up til now I've been restricted to the tiny screen of my iPhone. Recommend me some iPad only games, like Aquaria, or some games that are a lot better on the big screen, like World of Goo. Thanks!

    I have in mind so far...
    Aquaria
    Machinarium
    March on Oz
    Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition
    Battle Academy
