Civilization War for the iPhone has cut into my work productivity... it is a free game. If anyone else is playing it, my alliance code is LGMPZ8

There is an update for "find my iPhone" today. The one bug I'm finding is it no longer shows on the main screen that it is finding it; nor that it has found it.

If you give it time and click on the device it will still show the location. However if you do that too early you will get an email as well.

For those who really dig the whole Final Fantasy tactics vibe, local developers Broken Kings released Furious Tactics a couple of weeks ago. It's a really good game and our good friend Russic just wrote a great review of it.

Where is my Age of Empires for iPhone. That's what I want to know.

Not only are they charging $14 for it, word is that it runs horribly slow to the point of being unusable. Leave it to Square Enix to not be able to get a 1997 game to run on 2011 hardware.

So a little plug here. A co-workers brother worked on this game "Kickin Mamma". It's from a company in Vancouver. It's only .99 for the SD version right now.

It's basically a new version of Peggle (which i loved) where you kick your kid around trying to collect gems, in a plinko/peggle styled world. As you go you unlock things.

Well then I guess that sale is over.

For anyone who hasn't tried it, id Software's Rage HD is free atm.

It plays like Area 51 and is some of the coolest graphics you'll see on your iPhone4. Runs perfectly on the iPad 1 as well.

Anomaly Warzone Earth

Quote:

Winner of the prestigious Apple Design Award, Anomaly Warzone Earth HD comes to iOS and turns tower defense on its head. This time you take control of the attacking force, pitting your heavily armored squad against the destructive towers of an alien horde.

It's a tower offense game!

It's a heck of a lot of fun, definitely a huge recommend. Link is to iPad version.

New levels for Angry Birds Classic today

New levels for Rio came out last week.

MickMcGeough · 08-25-2011, 04:57 PM

Can someone recommend some good iPad RPGs?

Been playing Eternity Warriors and it's kind of meh. FF III looks like a fun throwback but is it worth $15??

I haven't found any enthralling RPG's yet. The platform doesn't seem condusive to RPG's... I did play a bit of FF1, but only made it 30 minutes into the game before I got bored. Plus I don't like the contols... too bad you can't connect one of them original NES rectangular controllers to the iPad.

What I have played and enjoyed were "Puzzle Quest" and "Puzzle Quest 2" as the bejeweled-esque battle system DOES lend itself to the iPad format. Originally, PQ2 was terrible as the port was rushed to market and I couldn't put up with the crashing and the horrible speed, but they have made some tweaks and while still slow, it didn't crash very often.

I'm looking forward to my 2nd favorite game ever (Final Fantasy Tactics) coming out for the iPad soon, but in the meantime I have been playing "Rebirth of Fortune" and "Sorcorer of Fortune", two strategy RPGs similar to Tactics, except that they are completely linear and there is no story. Just level after level. It passes the time. What I like about it is that unlike Tactics where you build up Ramza to be a Knight / Black Mage, in the Fortune series you are given X number of points for the level and you can choose to add a Knight which uses 5 points or a Soldier which uses 2 points. So if the computer has mostly magic users, I fill the board with Ninjas and rush in. If the computer has mostly brute force monsters, I put a line of knights in front of some magic casters and let the Knights fend off the monsters while the protected magic users throw fireballs for massive damage. I'm not forced to use Ramza the Knight/Black Mage every battle.

Battleheart is a cute little RPG... played it for a few days... got bored. But it got more use than any of the FF games.

-=-=-
I said above that FFT was my 2nd favorite game ever... all time it would have to be the Baldur's Gate series, but I haven't found anything anywhere near that style/level of quality on the iPad.

I have heard really great things about "Across Age" and if you liked the Link series of games, you will likely enjoy "Across Age". However you are limited to two characters - a warrior and a magic user. I prefer games where you have a party of characters - give me monks, rogues, paladins, clerics, wizards, etc and I'm a happy camper.
