    Metal Masher also free (0.99$ -> Free), a cool puzzle game.

    No.
    Get AvH.
    Or KoDP.
    Those are much better.

    Thanks I'll just wait for something else, already own King of Dragon Pass an play it constantly.

    To the one heading on a 10 hour flight try Rediculous Fishing, hard to put down and not loaded with tons of IAP. I'm typically not a fan of tilt based games but it works so good in the game.

    Hey there!

    I have a three-year-old daughter, do you know any games suitable for this age? (for example forms to colorize, pairs to assemble and such).

    Thanks for help, and sorry for my bad english ;)

    When my daughter was 4 she really liked Off the Leash (by Big Pixel). It's a tilt based game with dogs running. She also really liked Punch Quest (aka "the punching game"), a platformer.

    I don't have any first-hand experience with kids and iOS games, but maybe Bejeweled or another match 3? There's a game called "Jewel Next" that's a neat match-3 and the gems are really large (the board takes up the entire screen). I'm not sure if she'd find those too difficult/not enjoy them, but that's the first thing I thought of.

    My daughter has loved Scribblenauts since she was around 3. She of course needed my help with spelling at that age, but it's great for learning both spelling and problem solving.

    Picked up so many of the iOS releases this week..Spiral, Gloomy Hollow, Cover Orange 2, Icebreaker, and all the freemium titles. Got some older titles as well like 9th Dawn. Going to hold off on XCOM for a while due to my console backlog.

    Edit: Just spent some time with 9th Dawn, Spiral, and Gloomy Hollow. These are some quality action RPGs. Spiral feels like a PSP title so far.

    Icebreaker has to be one of the best puzzle games on the iOS. Cover Orange is more of the first game, which is a good thing.

    Killer week, wow.

    I want some great games. Thinking of cubemen 2.

    Anything action-ish? I'm a hardcore FPS gamer.

    NOVA 3 if you don't have it. Annoying at times but it's very fun

    How is Fantastic Contraption 2? I was considering it. But is there no way to add objects like rectangles or squares, the only objects I saw are wheels and rods
