    wow talk about perspective... i would say Shadowgun has the worst AI of all and its areas are EXTREMELY repetitive where as ME is repetitive but at least the areas have some differences... Shadowgun seems liek im always taking an elevator to the level just before lol and no kill zones on the enemies... head shot same as leg shot lol. just pummel the chest and go lol.

    Dead space is just brilliant. Played through it 3X. I can't believe EA doesn't make more games like this for iphone. The game gave me a few jolts but believe it or not Prisoner 84 scares me more. The graphics for the prisoners are very basic but it's the atmosphere, sounds, lighting that are very impressive. Try playing at night, in a quiet area and you'll get what I mean.

    As far as pysch horror titles for iOS, there are not to many. Yes, I don't consider COD zombies scary at all. Actually just starting to play Amnesia on PC which freaks the crap out of me. Still have a hard time trying to play at night ( lol )

    With the controls I was referring to the Gyroscope button, I got that mixed up. I find it too close to the fire button. It's still adaptable but hopefully Gameloft will add customizable controls next update.

    As much as I love the graphics in Shadowgun. It's a show piece for iOS. I Still get kinda bored of the gameplay. I thought they were supposed to get multiplayer but I have a feeling the devs have given up on that. No word in ages for the MP.

    Alright...true, true you got me. The game is everything you said except the AI...maybe it's just me but I thought it was quite adaptable. Not a bunch of einsteins, though.

    ME just was a letdown becuz it's from the same guys who did dead space, I think. Other than that, it's mostly fine. Just can't stand the framerate.

    DS on ios actually got me into the pc game series...now own and have beaten 'em all :D must say the ds1 is scariest. Lol ever seen the old alien movies? Ds1 is alien, horror with all the great scares. Ds2 is aliens, an action game with a horror bent.

    How about a full port of the ps2 res evil game? Not the crap that's on the app store now, but a FULL port with enhanced graphics and textures. Now that the hardware can run it, I think it would be great. Been wanting to try resident evil for while now anyway...

    Yup, have DS2 on PC. I have seen all the alien movies. Prometheus is coming out in June. Ridley Scott is Directing. Supposed to be a prequel of Aliens. Looks very good.

    Yeah, hopefully it won't tarnish the alien name like alien 3 and alien reserection did :/

    I already on lvl 7, so much for patience :/

    In the up side, I looked at screenshots and while the iPad 2 does look a lot nicer, it also looks awfully low res compared to our version. Not to consoling, I know, but it's better than nothing.

    Can't believe I said that.

    Reportly 5-6 hrs. 10 lvls, I'm on 7. Each lvl tropically lasts me around 45 min, cause I'm draaaaaaging the campaign out so I can play the final 15 minutes with effects.

    thanks JBRUU.

    I might only be on level 2 or 3, not even sure but on the iphone 4S, it's downright gorgeous, so I'm taking my time. Great campaign, Best I've played on iOS.

    How's the framerate on the 4s?

    I get around 40 on new iPad for campaign, 30-50 on multi depending on map and server. Hoping for 50-60 after update.

    Does anyone know how to post a video on this forum? I made one on NOVA 3 and I wanted to physically post it here (besides just a link) as I've seen others do in this thread. Anyone?
