Thought I'd let you guys know that Minecraft Pocket Edition is now available in the app store. It's still in alpha and currently only features "Creative Mode" which is like the old Minecraft alpha. @ $6.99 it may be better to wait until Pocket Edition is updated with some more content, but it's still a newsworthy release!
@pixelman I guess people have already opened the Minecraft Pocket Edition code, and there is already code in the alpha for axe's/pickaxe's/workbenches/etc, so survival and the true shade of Minecraft are surely on the way!
Yep, I heard they were planning on adding it. I don't see any point in paying full price for it yet though! It's bound to go on sale sometime soon.
Anywho, I've got over 20 hours logged on Modern Combat 3's multiplayer. I had a 61 kills / 12 deaths match last night... it was awesome, haha. I highly recommend it — it's definitely the best FPS on the app store. I'm NL_pixelman on Gameloft live if anyone's playing it.
Also, check out Battle Nations. It starts slow, but picks up after a couple days.
I've just seen an article over at Kotaku that talks about the release of Bards Tale on the iOS platform. Oh how I loved and loved the original Bard's Tale games and while the style of this PS2 port (I think?) doesn't look or play anything like them, I still think it looks intriguing. Over 1.3GB download too iirc.
Games like this are slowly eroding my reluctance to own an iOS device.
@Slapshot: All of Kairosoft's games are fun. If only they came out with a compilation on 3DS/DS, I'd buy it again in a heartbeat just so I wouldn't need to waste the battery on my Android phone or iPod.
What is the meaning of life? That's so easy, the answer is TETRIS.
Pleasantly surprised with Six Guns. I was sure it'd be junk after playing Brothers In Arms 2 Free+... but it's actually quite fun. Controls are a bit clunky though.
I was thinking about buying Shadowgun because it looked like Gears of War on the go. Is it anything like Gears?
It's really not worth more than 99 cents in its current state. It's very repetitive (missions are structured the same and there are only about 5 different enemy types) and shooting enemies isn't satisfying at alllll — they don't react to bullets hitting them, and when they run out of HP they just fall lamely to the ground. It looks pretty and controls smoothly... it's just not very fun.
Apparently they're working on a multiplayer update which'll hopefully make it better, but I wouldn't recommend buying it right now unless it's on sale.
With $30, what games should I buy when I get my new iPod? I'm interested in
Call of Duty: Black Ops Zombies
Chrono Trigger
Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions
Infinity Blade
Jetpack Joyride
Assassin's Creed: Altäir's Chronicles
Batman: Arkham City Lockdown I obviously can't get all of these, so which combination of these games should I get that doesn't go over $30?
Chrono Trigger and Infinity Blade sound like safe bets. Chrono Trigger just came out, but I hear from Touch Arcade's forum that the controls are manageable, though they do take some getting used to. It's also the DS version with the PSOne version's music quality, for $10. Sounds worth it to me.

Alright. That's only $16, so what else do you recommend?

Um, get Infinity Blade II over the first one. It's only a buck more. Batman looks neat but you should hold off on that one until you're done with Infinity Blade since they have fairly similar gameplay. Jetpack Joyride is awesome. I've heard FFTactics is an awful port, so you'll want to do some research on it first — I'd get Chrono Trigger over that.
This isn't on your list, but Modern Combat 3: Fallen Nation is probably my favorite iOS game. I've put over 30 hours into its online mode.
That's like, 7 + 7 + 10 + 1 = 25, so throw in tax and you've got enough for another 1.99 or maybe 2.99 game. Save it for when something goes on sale. :3
