Seeing as all the other one's have disappeared...

I just got the new Sonic 4 (Episode II) game for iPhone. £4.99 is a bit steep but the graphic are great and the physics are so much better than Ep I. Way less ridiculous and I love having Sonic & Tails (& Metal Sonic) as playable again.

Reeder and Instapaper are invaluable for web content consumption.

Agenda is a much better than the standard iOS calendar, it's lovely.

I downloaded Tower Defense: Lost Earth by Com2uS Inc the other day when it was free (201 5* ratings) - it's fucking incredible and worth paying for.

I've been playing the free version of Ticket To Ride lately, it's great. Does anyone have the full version? Is it worth £4.99?

[<3]

Ticket To Ride is brilliant, I want the actual board game so much.

I'm not sure I would pay £4.99 for it though, I got it when it was free it's a bit repetitive against the computer and I never have enough time (or a decent signal if I'm in the car/bus) to play online properly.

I stand by assertion when I first played TD:LE, for standard-issue tower defence it doesn't get much better.

[<3]

The only annoyance I have is not being able to lock the laser towers into a direction. That is a very minor annoyance.

[Mark1412]

There's also some brutal difficulty spikes two-thirds of the way through.

[<3]

Yeah I don't mind those, on x2 the levels last about 5 minutes, so I don't mind the challenge - it's hardly pixeljunk monsters level of 19 minutes until a ridiculously difficult and very different final wave brutality.

Has anyone got Goal or Score or whatever it's called? You have to recreate classic international goals by swiping the screen at certain points. It sounds shit but it's actually well addictive.

[Arwell]

Yeah Score! is brilliant. I managed to get 3 stars on all the amateur 2010s ones. Gonna go through the 2000s later tonight. Seriously great game

Gonna check out the tower defense game too

[Bassmonger]

Can people post in this thread when they notice a good paid app is on a limited free promotion? Cheers. I always seem to miss those.

New Star Soccer.


Fucking, hell.

New Star Soccer.


Fucking, hell.

Wow. This is AMAZING

[Bassmonger]

Good call. Can see me buying the full career mode.

[<3]

I might burn my money first, this will lead me to lower depths than heroin I reckon. I can't get off it.

I've got all 240 stars on amateur. I'm great.

Due to Arwell and Dan talking about this on Twitter last night I spent ages on it. Started at Tonbridge and came 2nd scoring 24 goals and bagging 2 hat-tricks. Start of 2nd season, I decided to be cheeky and negotiated with anyone I could, ended up at Luton on a wage of 8, goal bonus of 3! 3rd after a few games.

I've bought a flashy suit, an apartment and a house, an SUV and other stuff. I also just bought the best boots so my stats are all 40s now. This game has me hooked more than Game Dev Story and I had to delete that as it was ruining my life.

I ended up spending about 2 hours on that game last night. They aklso left me in charge at work this morning so I've just spent another hour on it. It's so good. Definitely getting it for iphone when I get home. Is it free?

[Hedges]

It's listed as free on the app store but after about 12 games you have to pay 69p to unlock the career mode. Sneaky.

[Arwell]

I absolutely love this game. I started at Hampton. Won the league with them AND the FA Cup. On the way I beat Fulham, drew 4-4 with Blackburn and won 3-2 in the replay. Was 1-0 down on 86 minutes against Spurs in the semis, scored 2 to win 2-1, beat Man City 3-1 in the final. Then went to Cheltenham, did awful, got sold to Leicester and now doing great again. I'm on 9 per game, 3 goal bonus and 6 sponsor bonus. Do people play the casino at all? What's your longest goal? Mine is 51.1. BOOM

[Hedges]

I accidentally scored from 44.0 yards when trying to play a pass up to a striker. My furthest pass is 39.8

[Generation Terrorist]

69p is an absolute bargain. I didn't get very far though really. At my peak I was Darlington getting 5 wage and 2 sponsorship. I also had a phone.

Anodia.

[deeeyepeepeewhy]

I've just spent over two hours on NSS. Addictive.

Finished my first season in 3rd place with Havant & Waterlooville. 44 goals in 43 appearances. Just let the, to join Telford in the Conference National. 8 stars for appearance, 3 for each goal. I've wasted too much in the casino.

[Generation Terrorist]

Got it for my iphone. It's still great, although I seriously have to work on my shooting. Pressing with my finger isn't quite as accurate as a mouse. The interception thing is really annoying as well. I can't see the damn ball because of my fat fucking finger.

[Hedges]

The interception thing is crap. 2nd season I moved to Port Vale from Tonbridge and then in January, Norwich came in for me so I jumped ship and took them from 19th up to 13th. Just about to start my 3rd season now with Milan! My wage is now 14, goal bonus of 4 and sponsors raking in 9 (although cosmetics dropped me because they're pricks).

My tip is when it comes to end of the season and you have teams to choose from, pick one and negotiate for a better deal, if it fails just pick somewhere else, if not - excellent wages! I'm basically a money hungry scumbag.

Pretty sure this game is ruining my life.
