Re: iPhone/iPod Touch App Talk

Actually the slow mo is even better on my ipod because it's 1st gen and that is slower then the 2nd gen and even slower then the phone (until the new phone comes out next week the 2nd gen touch is the fastest machine of the 4 available) so there is more slow down. I was gonna get this game anyways but now a $15 dollar card was enough to get Peggle and the software upgrade.

Dang, I waited on Azkend and it's up to not only 2.99, but 4.99 now. That might still be a good price, but not when it was .99. I guess the lesson is, if it's .99 just buy it, don't wait for it to be free.

Re: iPhone/iPod Touch App Talk

Has anybody bought 1112 episode 1? How is it? The price went down to $1.99 from its original $7.99 price point and I'm tempted to buy it.

AppSniper on your iPod Touch allows you to keep a watch list with price triggers.

I have AppSniper Lite, which I believe allows you to track 10 apps.

One thing I've noticed though, is that the app database appears to be out of date, even after syncing it. A couple of recent games that I'd like to track sales on, Zenonia and Defender Chronicles, refuse to show up in Appsniper Lite.

Thanks for the heads-up. I've been meaning to get this for some time and, now, it's a no-brainer.

You guys could try Pandora Box it's bascially a alternative to Appsnipper, but it's free.

I believe were getting 11 pages, the first page won't have any apps installed on it.

The first page won't be customizable? That really sucks.

There was talk that we were gonna get folders like when you jailbreak, but that got scrapped . I would pay extra for the ability to put in folders and make the screens seem less cluttered.

Re: iPhone/iPod Touch App Talk

That Pandora's Box app has been pretty handy. I snagged s few free games that were at least somewhat entertaining:

Ball Fill
Paper Toss
Bowman

My wife, daughter, and i passed the iTouch around for like 30 minutes playing Paper Toss.

Re: iPhone/iPod Touch App Talk

I can't believe 15 pages and no one has mentioned "Bounce On". I am completely addicted to this one, it's a 2D platformer and your character is a ball. Tilt controls to move and tap screen to jump. Hard as hell in the later levels, it's made me want to throw my Itouch across the room. There is a lite version full version is $3.99 CAD (don't know if it's different in USD).

Also loving "Blimp - The Flying Adventures". Tilt the screen to steer and tap to give it a shot of hot air. You fly around levels picking up people and cargo and delivering. Beautiful artwork and sound. $2.99 CAD.

"Isotope" is also a pretty good Geo Wars type game. Left stick to move right to fire. Lite Version available and $2.99 CAD for full.

Re: iPhone/iPod Touch App Talk

Looks like Critter Crunch is on sale for $1. I'm not sure what the regular price is but some of the reviews mention around $5. It's also the same game that is hitting PSN any day now(supposedly for less than $10 for those that are interested in that version).

Re: iPhone/iPod Touch App Talk

Question to all you Peggler's it is just me or is this easier on the touch then the Xbox . My first play through of adventure mode I got 19.3 mil. which is much higher then I've gotten on the box.

Re: iPhone/iPod Touch App Talk

I've been immersed in Defender Chronicles the last 24 hours. Here's a review.

Yes, it's another TD game, but perhaps the best one yet, at least if you're an RPG fan, as it adds a lot of those elements as well. On sale thru today or so for $2.99, and well worth it, and I've only paid more than 99 cents for an app maybe twice.
