    If you even remotely liked SCB on the PC, get the iOS version. It's done perfectly.

    Here's a review I wrote for it: http://forums.toucharcade.com/showthread.php?t=118876

    Just left an impression on the Streetbike (3 individual posts) thread! If you want a arcade racer then it's a definite buy! http://forums.toucharcade.com/showthread.php?t=118778&page=4

    I'd suggest looking at the Super Crate Box thread to decide if you want it. there's been a lot of discussion and valid points made about different things. It was a buck well spent for me!

    I still have to play Lunar Racer...it's just been sitting on my iPod. All the impressions so far are good for the most part. There's some lame complaining about multiplayer, but Gabrien put some ppl in check. :)

    I think Edo Towns is better overall. Venture Towns suffers from really bad pacing and balancing with the money system...there just isn't enough to do, and so most of the time you're just sitting around waiting for the next rent to come in so you can build two things. Then you go back to waiting for the next rent... Edo Towns, on the other hand, constantly rewards you and you generally have more to do all of the time.

    GoofyJ, this game is just beautiful. The artwork is amazing. Love the music. Bought it 3-4 days ago and just sat down to have a go at it. Really, really well done.

    Should I get King of Fighters-i if I have Volt?
    I have the 3DS version of SFIV as well.

    Meh... I couldn't get into KoF despite the fact that I LOVED Volt. Characters all felt the same to me. Graphics are more polished, and the controls are probably better, but the gameplay just never got me the way Street Fighter did.

    I loved SF Volt, and I also loved KoF. They play pretty differently, and the 2D artwork is amazing, so I'd highly recommend it if you enjoy fighters. I personally can't get enough of them!

    Is Lego Harry Potter worth getting? I like the humor of lego games, and I was a total lego fan as a child. Should I wait for a price drop or is 5$ a good price?

    Hi!
    Are there any rpg-eaque alfapet games in the AppStore?

    Would love one with asynchronous multiplayer and some fun and cool rpg features.

    Maybe Quarrel DX and Scribblenauts.

    Really wouldn't consider these two RPG-ish. Scribblenauts is an adventure-word game and Quarrel DX is a strategy word game. Quarrel DX was my #1 word game of 2011.

    A separate question.

    Which of these three games is in your opinion the best one if I want a game with a free open world with encounters and exiting things, but at the same time with a story so I can progress when I feel like it?

    Skyrim in space so to speak.

    And secondly, Fabled lands 2. How does that game compare to those specificatons above?
    Is there crafting in Fabled lands2?

    Thx

    Wait...what three games???

    As far as Fabled Lands, I'd get King of Dragon Pass over it. KoDP for the almighty win!
