Some more apps

Instapaper

Drop Box
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/dropbox/id327630330?mt=8

Google Voice. If your country is on this list that is

I use a jailbreak tweak with google voice because of how shitty the google voice app was the last time I used it. I only recommend it because of free texting.

this makes no sense, you can jailbreak, brick your iphone, and restore in 20 minutes. this statement makes as much sense as "I don't like getting raped but I'll take it anyways"

Aside from the ones that aren't out (duh!) I wholeheartedly stand by each and every title in that list --- with the exception of the following, since I can't play them;

Infinity Blade. I only have a 2nd gen device at the moment, insufficient power to play.
Perfect Cell. I can't trial it so I'm not buying it - and there's no working IPA out yet.
Zenonia 3. It's not out yet

it makes no difference to the warranty. you can brick the phone, plug it into itunes, and restore to factory state with no way to tell it was ever jailbroken.

yeah it does nothing to the warranty. unless you're dumb and don't restore it to default when you take it in for repairs...

Sabin, anything similar to "100 Rogues" that you can recommend? I particularly like the turn-based moving, the levelling up and the collecting items.

Unfortunately I saw "100 Rogues" somewhere last night, saw it was only 59p and bought it. Played it and it crashed loading the 3rd level. Started a new game, crashed. Looked on the internet and it turns out that there's a notice on the iTunes page saying that the latest update is broken and not to buy it yet Rolling Eyes

So I'm gutted now because I really like what I've played so far and would quite like more of the same really.

Don't worry mate, you've bought the game now.. so when the devs fix it (basically a borked patch caused the issue) you'll be able to download the new version for free. In the mean time;

http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/the-isle-of-8-bit-treasures/id336755042?mt=8

The Isle of 8-Bit Treasures.

Can't wait until it's fixed, I even contemplated getting the previous version off Installous while I wait but apparently the fix has been submitted to Apple so shouldn't be long now.

The Isle game sounds pretty good too, I'll grab that I reckon. Cheers!

I love both these games, though my only complaint with 100 Rogues is that you have to buy the game.... and then buy the extra character too. That's just lame.

Just tried Rogue Touch, that seems pretty good as well.

I'll see if I can get one for the PC as well, there must be hundreds of roguelike games, it's just finding the best one.

You'll find thousands more roguelikes on the PC than on iOS, that's for damned sure! My only stipulation when it comes to roguelikes is that they have at least some semblance of decent graphics. I can't stand playing ASCII-alike games any more ... at least 100 Rogues looks great with it's retro 8-Bit style Very Happy

Galaxy On Fire 2 is on sale now.. usually I'd be pissed, considering I paid full price not more than a few weeks back, but that's the way with the AppStore. Games are ALWAYS on sale, it's my own fault for buying it at full price.

Oh and Dead Space is now only 99c/59p too.

It's not as bad as buying death rally for 4.99 and then next day it drops down to 2.99 Laughing

Are there any RPGs comparable to the likes of say chrono trigger, lufia, secret of mana? Or am I asking too much?
A NES/SNES emu would be awesome, I could replay me some Zelda an shit. I can't find an emu though Sad

iSNES is out for the iDevices (obviously runs best on 3GS/4thGen hardware) and iPhone NES is the NES emulator. As for comparable RPGs? quite a few, but hell... Secret of Mana has already had a direct port and it is, in my opinion, superior to the original SNES version too.
