    Realms of the Haunting, one of the finest, and sadly, overlooked, action/adventure/horror games ever made. All one needs to do is look at the reviews on gog.com to see how highly regarded this game is by those who have had the pleasure of playing it.

    I'm not sure if it's already been said, but I'd love to see Retro City Rampage on iOS/Android. Also, Arcanum on iPad would be absolutely beautiful.

    Yes I think couple of us here already expressed that wish (about Retro City Rampage ). I did sent him mail with question about possible port, but to no avail.Unfortunately, we will never see it as I know developer expressed dissatisfaction with iOS market , being all highly competitive with ton of indie games and he doesn't see much profit or sales overall with pricing it premium/ same as other versions.Also he doesn't think RcR experience and gameplay would port well to touchscreen only controls


    EDIT - His quote from interview :

    "When asked how he felt the Vita compared to iOS, Provinciano replied, "The risk is higher on iOS, odds are better of succeeding on consoles. Even with a good game, you're rolling the dice on iOS"

    Request Games for Ipod Touch

    I don't know if there is already a thread for this, but I wanted to see a thread where you can request games you want on the Ipod.

    A few games I want to request

    Divine Generals: http://www.freewebarcade.com/game/divine-generals/

    A resource management and tactical war game. Gather resources, build a city, and develop an army to move into enemy territory.

    Bubble Tanks: http://armorgames.com/play/58/bubble-tanks

    You are a bubble tank fighting other bubble tanks and collecting bubbles, all within an even larger bubble field.

    I love playing these two games and would love to see them as ipod games.

    I know - it's such a shame, because I think it would be a great fit for smartphones (and I'm in love with 8-bit stuff), as well as quite profitable. I asked the developer on Twitter myself and he said something similar. He did a port of RCR for the Wii which apparently still hasn't made him any money, and he said that was "a gift to the fans". He also reportedly hated doing the XBLA version because it took so much time and Microsoft made it so difficult. Imagine if he'd used that time instead to put together an iOS port :(

    Oh well. Maybe a publisher will want to pick it up in future?

    OMFG, it's weird, but i literally dreamt of a game i played on the PSP before, adn i have to share it here as part of my port-wishlist...

    Killzone: Liberation

    This will probably be the best dual stick shooter on the iOS if it was ported, singleplayer, multiplayer and all.
     
  15. Dude, I agree. I haven't even thought about that.

    Killzone: Liberation was SO underrated, and it would actually be perfect on iOS. I doubt it will ever happen though.

    I totally agree with you on this having played this on the psp but its going to be a long shot if this happens because its a Sony exclusive(though I may be wrong)..I only see kill zone titles on a Sony device which would probably mean they have an exclusive contract much like ratchet and clank..
