Anyone here tried Game Dev Story? I've been addicted to it for the past week or so. It's been taking my leisure time away from bigger games. It's a sim/management game and it's not too complex. In the game you create a video game development studio and develop and release games over a 20 year period. As your games become more popular your fanbase grows, your review scores from critics get better and your studio and team grows in size. What's great about GDS is that it contains lots of nods and references to popular things in real-life gaming culture.

It's been out since Oct. 2010 and doesn't have incredible graphics, but it's really addicting.

It is usually $3.99 but is currently on sale for 99 cents! I bought it at full price and thought it was well worth it. There's a demo available too.

Dead Space for iPhone is bad ass, I highly recommend it! Best controls and gameplay of any game I've bought!

Thanks guys! I'm going to grab both of these.

Nothing yet, but Touch Arcade is wanting to get one for a review.

I am waiting for Smuggle Truck to come out.

I bought SFIV a long time back when it was $9.99 & with only 8 Characters. Since then Capcon has added a total of 6 new characters including DLC for costumes.

So you guys should definitely get it while its $0.99, Capcom's support & constant updating makes this one of the most worthwhile iphone game to purchase.

I just bought Ultimate Spider-man Total Mayhem for $0.99 as well and its a solid portable Spider-Man game.

 

[plasmid303]

I was actually thinking about getting the Spider-Man game. Tried the demo and thought it was pretty cool. I've already spent about $5 today on games on sale.

Anyway, Sega is also having a sale until Valentines Day:

Sonic 1 & 2 & 4 ep 1 are $2.99 each

all the following are 99 cents
Altered Beast
ChuChu Rocket! (also HD)
Ecco the Dolphin
Golden Axe
Gunstar Heroes
Phantasy Star II
Sega Columns Deluxe
Shining Force
Shinobi III
Sonic Spinball
Streets of Rage
Super Monkey Ball

For the record, I already predicted there would be a gamepad for the iPad/iTouch/iPhone.

NBA JAM for iPhone is available!! BOOMSHAKALAKA!!!

 

[plasmid303]

I should not have bought Dead Rising Mobile. Not even worth the $1 it cost.

 

[speedy485]

Take a $6.99 leap of faith and buy Papasangre. I haven't felt so weird playing a game since playing the first Resident Evil game. It's so hard to describe. There are no visuals. It's all based on sound. I recommend playing in the dark and shutting your eyes once you have the controls down. Very creepy!

Bought this last night based on your recommendation. Absolutely worth the money. Also, it's $4.99. Not sure if that's temporary or not.

Great game!

This game looks like it's going to be amazing. Great oldschool 8-bit graphics and an amazing soundtrack.

I heard you needed a good headset to play this game. What are you guys using? I've got an extra set of turtle beaches that hook up to a PC that I could use I guess. This is the only thing that turned me off from purchasing.

I picked up Predators on Friday for the lovely price of 99cents. Although repetitive, it's actually pretty fun. There are weapons, masks, and trophys to unlock, not to mention achievements.
