    I'm looking for a good RPG, I really like KRPGs like the original Zenonia or Destinia. I would prefer little to no IAPs if possible. Would you suggest CrimsonHeart?

    Yes. Crimsonheart and Wild Frontier. Maybe that new one as well. Think it is called Kiki-something

    CrimsonHeart is great!

    I also suggest Aurum Blade.

    I'm looking for an asynchronous chess game for iOS. Suprisingly, chess with friends is the only one I could find. Anyone know of some others?

    Here's a somewhat specialized request. :)

    On the DSi, they had a cheap (relatively speaking - Nintendo and budget titles don't go hand-in-hand) game called "Go Series Fishing Resort." It was simplistic, and the stylus gestures you had to do didn't really fit with real fishing (throw your fish 30 feet into the air and then time your net to catch it?!?), but it was simple, goofy fun.

    Are there any good "arcade-style" fishing games for the iPhone/iPad?

    I suppose when you get right down for it, it doesn't even need to be fishing - any sort of action-oriented "capture creatures" game with some powerful/rare ones to track down could work just as well.

    I would recommend Flick Fishing. It's a really cool fishing sim with various locations and different kinds of fish to capture. It can be very addicting.

    Uhh there's a few RPGs that only have touch to move controls, if that's what ur referring to then I think a game called vey is played like that, also a game called dawn of magic I think. Some RPGs u can switch control methods..

    I'll give it a try, thanks. Should I just stick with the standard version, even though it's not a universal app? (I see there's an HD one, but it's $2 more and seems to be one version behind - and the latest upgrade sounds like it added several new fish into the game.)

    -----

    Another question - since "Super KO Boxing 2" was free a couple days ago (and might still be), I've noticed there are several other different "Punch-Out" clones out there as well. Pocket Boxing Legends, Beast Boxing 3D, Boxing Clever, etc. Some have a Punch-Out view, some have a Ring King perspective.

    Several of them have free or lite versions so I can try them out, but do any of them animate cleanly, play smoothly and stand out from the crowd?

    Sorry, I probably wasn't clear about what I meant...I'm looking for a turn-based combat RPG with a 'point and click' control scheme, like Monkey Island.

    Thanks for the suggestions, unfortunately, they're both iphone apps...I'm looking for something on the iPad. I've been scouring metacritic for reviews of RPGs that mention this control scheme, but I'm not having any luck.

    What I really want is confirmation that Final Fantasy or Chaos Rings has this control scheme. Although any recommendations are welcome.

    What are your opinions about Call of Cthulhu? I have $5 left from a gift card I was given, and was wondering if I should get this, Ravenmark, or Reckless Racing 2?

    If you enjoy top-down racing games, yes.

    There are loads of cars, races, tracks, even multiplayer (which I haven't played yet, actually)

    Though the upgrade system has me hooked the most - you can tinker with any upgrades to a car and they all have an immediately noticeable effect on the performance - something too many console games haven't mastered.

    Things that might skew your opinion: whether you've played Reckless Racing 1 or not.

    I heard the controls are wonky in call of cthulu so if you can get past those you should get it. But I seriously recommend Ravenmark if you like strategy games

    Thanks for the reply. I've heard really good things about Ravenmark, and not as much for Call of Cthulhu, so I think I'll go with Ravenmark.
