    W.E.L.D.E.R is a good one.

    This list is in no particular order. Most of it was picked off my AppShopper under the My Apps section so if it was recently updated and seemed to fit what you're looking for, it made it on the list.

    Orbital
    Dash Race
    Dungeon Raid
    Any of the Flick games
    Disc Pool
    Pixel Duel
    Super Stickman Golf


    I'm interested to see what the other guys come up with, also.

    I think Plants vs Zombie is another good one. I beat the entire game at school over a span of a few weeks. The pacing is great so you're not at the edge of your seat, and you can pause the game easily if you really have to.

    Alright, I've tried some of the suggestions.

    I think Angry Birds is pretty much spot on in what I'm looking for.
    Orbital is pretty good, added bonus for being in portrait orientation.
    Pixel Duel is cool, but the timer thing killed it for my purposes.
    Disc Pool seems a bit too involved, but I'll keep trying it.

    I've had Dungeon Raid and PvZ for quite some time, and might get back into Dungeon Raid. PvZ was great while it lasted too.

    Thanks for the help, I won't have to die from boredom :D

    Yeah definitely dungeon raid as you can continue the game even after shutting down ipod, clearing multitask or closing the idevice. Awesome game :)

    Oops, forgot about Pixel Duel's timer.

    Some good Angry Bird clones if you get bored with tossing birds around:

    Trucks and Skulls (basically a man's version of Angry Birds!)
    Siege Hero (first person Angry Birds)
    Fragger (AB with grenades)

    I've got about 22$ to spend, what should I get out of these :


    Fall of Angels - 2.99
    Crimson Gem Saga 9.99
    Megaman X -4.99
    Junk jack 2.99
    tank hero .99
    Get me out - 99 or new Chillingo game?
    ROcket Riot - 2.99
    Tounge tied - .99
    Paper monsters - .99?
    Starwarfare- or Epoch- .99
    Fantasy Chronicle - 2.99?

    I guess I can wait on some of the RPGs. I wanna know if junk jack, RR and MMX are worth it, compared to the others...

    Paper monsters > monster dash(ESP if u have JJ)

    Honestly I found ice rage a bit of a dissapointmemt, however with the new tou ament mode it's ok. So I think only if u have an iPad and a friend or like hockey or Moutain sheep(the devs I think?)

    Greed Corp I haven't really been able to get into it yet and I can't say how good but it does take alot of learning the basics(depends OM how good u are with strategy games, I'm not that familiar... EDiT NVM I just saw that uve already played it

    The other 2 I'd like to know as well

    Okay, thanks. Part of the reason I'm wondering on Monster Dash is that One Epic Game is also releasing tonight (PSP port) and I'm curious which one is better. Will probly pick up Greed Corp (though I haven't played it before...is it RTS or TBS styled more?) then and wait on Ice Rage. Still leaves me wondering on Star Warfare and Tongue Tied though...

    Star Warfare is... Not bad. There's a review for it on the front page now. It's pretty much a survival shooter, and personally I think it's... Ok.

    Greed Corp is more turn-based than real time, but it's quite in the middle.

    Tongue Tied I haven't played.

    Hi guys, it's Mojo Bones here: the team behind Tongue Tied.

    I don't want to use this post to spam/advertise people with our products, but I see that some of you are interested in our game and what it entails. It wouldn't be fair of me to tell you how great it is - as I'm a little biased - so instead, here's a recent video review from Pocket Gamer that gives a fair overview of the game.



    If anyone has any questions then PM us and we'll try to answer them.

    On a side note: you can't go wrong with Ice Rage. It's a great little time-waster, and if you have an iPad, it's a blast in 2 player mode. Definitely check it out.

    Thanks guys.

    Paper Monsters is a no brainer for platformer fans.

    One Epic Game is one epic bore for me. And I'm a fan of the genre.

    Should I get Ant Raid or Brutal Spy?

    Seriously, get Paper Monsters now. Really well-written review on the frontpage right now.

    Glad I didn't pick up OEG. Wasn't up for another runner even though I'm a big fan of runners too. Brutal Spy has gotten awful impressions so far. Ant Raid plays a lot like Anthill, but it's even more casual in terms of being a RTS I'd say. It really focuses on the frantic gameplay more than strategizing. Pretty fun game in any case, and it has a ton of content to last you.

    Well, Ant Raid is already critically acclaimed and Brutal Spy is new and has mixed reviews.
