Channeling your inner-Kenny? Thanks all, was not expecting this much response! Highly appreciated. I was surprised Sacred Odyssey was not mentioned. (or Assassin's Creed and Avatar) The top four were: Wild Blood MC4 Spiderman DH2/POP/Nova 3/Starfront (tie) Will probably put all those on my phone if I can fit them. Any other immersive titles (non-Gameloft) I should consider? As to the debate on NFS vs... well, any other racer? Sorry, I'm a NFS fanboy and not even tried the others. *runs away... quickly*
Since you're on a road trip, don't put MC4 on your phone. It's a huge space hog & you'll only be able to play the campaign...meh to say the least. Put NOVA 2 on instead! As for any other immersive games, I repeat: Walking Dead: The Game. Just make sure you download all the episodes beforehand. This is by far the best game out of any mentioned here. Shame on you if you haven't already played this. In regards to your tie, I'd skip NOVA 3, it's good and all but NOVA 2 has a better story mode and I just like the tone of NOVA 2. POP is really good, but the game is quite hard (in terms of knowing where to go) and I had to use a walkthough. Just keep that in mind if you bring it along. Starfront and DH2 are two very good, very fun games up there with POP. Whichever genre you prefer, I guess. Starfront is a lot more space though. Also consider Bastion, it's...well...a good game. Combo of a dual stick shooter and RPG, with a big emphasis on Emerson and narration. Beautiful, beautiful game. If you gleaned anything out of anything I've said, GO GET THE WALKING DEAD!!!
Actually flying to China. My third trip. Spacehog... awesome band!!! Awesome!!! Thanks for the tip. I tried and loved the first part but it'd fifteen dollarzzzzzzz! Hmm, I may sub Assassins Creed or Pocket RPG for POP based on that. Thanks. I used a walkthrough for Lara Croft as well. Moi? No Bastion? An iDevice without Bastion is like potatoes without gravy. Ain't nobody got time for that! Okay! Okay! Okay! Tetchy.
My favourite GL game is O&C Online by a country mile. Probably not so good for travelling though demanding fairly good 3G for a good connection. The game is a lot higher quality than all their other offerings imo. Even the writing is witty and engaging. I read all the quest dialogue and enjoyed every minute.
Asphalt 7. I got it when it was free for a week or so, it's a great game. Absolutely zero map is needed to unlock all the cars, just slowly play your way through the careers. Online multiplayer is also great, I play with my brother all the time, in the same map, with 4 others. No, there is no "grinding" for anything. Or repeating tracks. Neither is it very beneficial. In the later stages of careers though, some tracks can get very tricky, but careers alone allows you to unlock some of the fastest cars.
To find the best Gameloft titles, you need only arrange them chronologically, and select the earliest dates. Gameloft has always been a studio capable of pushing iDevices to the limit, and they deserve kudos for that, but their evolving freemium business model has progressively made each release less fulfilling than the last.
