You can post as many games as you want that counts from the beginning of the appstore up to last september. Just a reminder that this is a discussion but the final list of games will be posted later on as we need to weed out the ones that aren't such as minigore. The rest of these threads will be monthly but we feel it's fair to include all the games that aren't just from last month. Also while similar to camzy's thread it will not have a top 5 but include all that fits the criteria but will have recommendations of what you should try. This will end at the either end of october or a bit later as that may not give enough time. After that we will have one just for the month of October. This is how we will determine it at the end. -Position on the charts. -Trafficking of the game here at TA. -Regarding reviews or lack of. While it is not perfect and such parts subjective, this is what we will use. Here are some examples of what we think should be counted. Feel free to argue/disagree or add your own but make sure to post at least a link if possible. Notice that these are a few of the most recent games. Most importantly add the reason why it should be counted. More than one person may say a game already suggested but the same person may not say the game more than once Ex:Aqua Globs, Aqua Globs, Aqua Globs, Aqua Globs..etc. Oh and it's a given but please refrain from spamming a game. If anyone has any suggestions of improving anything then pm me as I don't want this thread sidetracked and ontopic.

Yes, great job guys with the links...skyye06 I think you listed ones I suggested as well so I will have to think some more. TA members...there are lots of good games that get easily overlooked, let us know why they deserve a chance to shine.

*Crickets* I'll probably think of a few more gems later tonight or tomorrow, though right now we have a pretty decent list.
yup, good stuff on there ...I am wondering what would be considered "too little" or "too much" traffic in a thread to consider it being overlooked?
The iDrop Dead games have had over 100 posts in total (various topics combined) but it's pretty much just been the same few hardcore fans
yeah, there are several games with a fair number of posts but it's by all the same few people...I guess we'll just have to make a judgement call on it
So far this isn't happening. Just my oh so humble opinion, but I find that a recommendation of a game is 100x more effective if you give some reason why.
As a new member of the TA community and a newcomer to the world of Itouch gaming, I was really hoping this thread would take off. Based on my review of similar threads on topics like "what should I buy with my last $5" and the like, I am very surprised.
I enjoyed the following gems this past month or so: [app]Backstreet Cat[/app]: A bunch of fun mini games based on feline activities. TA Discussion Thread [app]TURN Episode 1: The Lost Artefact[/app]: a puzzle game. TA Discussion Thread [app]Sheeple[/app]: Puzzle game where you can push 'people' around. TA Discussion Thread [app]Slay[/app]: Not new, but a gem of a strategy game. (And just had a price drop too. ) TA Discussion Thread
Yeah it was also due to the lite as it was the top(or second) free game which gave it a lot of exposure.
Maybe if there was news of an update on Mr. Aaahh!! , that would help. Otherwise, theres nothing much to discuss. Its a great game, but in comparison, Run! has more game elements.
i think Dotopop doesnt get enough attention..its like Chain RXN. but better and it has OF keeps me coming back to play tho, once u get to the 60s [levels] it starts to get really challenging. plus i think theres 100+ lvs..cant be sure i havent beat it yet
Crush Bunny by 3side studios. Its an awesome game with a basic concept that has had a ton of stuff and different gameplay elements added to it.
