A simple list will do, this is directed towards what's been released so far but I guess you can predict upcoming games that you know will be up there etc... Mine(bolded favorites)- Waking Mars Swordigo Nihilumbra Fieldrunners 2 Magic 13 Pocket Planes Kingdom Rush Inferno+ Plague Inc/pandemic King of fighters i Slingshot racing Saturday morning Rpg Avernum Gene effect Hunters 2 Tiny wings 2.0 Chaos Rings 2 Adventure Bar Story Incoboto Euphloria Pizza vs skeletons Ghost trick Reckless racing 2 Time of heroes Star warfare: Alien Invasion Hero Academy super crate box Caylus Star marine Monster mayhem Invader Hunter FFT iPad Max payne Tentacle wars Polymer Ski safari Spellsword NOVA 3 Lost winds 2 Airmail Dangerous Fairway solitaire Project 83113 Babel rising Mutant storm Ray storm/Dariusburt Asphalt 7 Outwitters Wheres my Perry Super ox wars Dynamite jak Dungeon village Angry birds space Summoner wars The end app Bug princes 2/black label GBWG Future Predictions - Battleheart 2 Star command IB dungeons Valkyria chronicles Organ trail Solomns Dark Street Fighter x Tekken Random Heroes Super Meat boy iOS Icebreaker - A Viking Voyage Shadow God Oceanhorn Orcs:Vengeance Lili Professor Layton Level up 4 in a 3d row Ravensword 2 Project Dragon Battle Universe After earth Jet set radio
Plague Inc. and Pandemic 2.5* are 2 different games. Anyway, I'm going for Tiny Wings 2, Pocket Planes, Plague Inc., Ski Safari and Where's My Perry. Also, add Major Mayhem to the list.
Haven't been into iOS gaming as of late, but I still buy games and the two that I had a hard time putting down was Fieldrunners 2 and Defender Chronicles 2. I could be forgetting one...
Too many to name, but right now Gene Effect is my early favorite. Kingdom Rush, Sky Gamblers: Air Surpemacy, Hunters 2, Swordigo, Project 83113 and Dariusburst SP are also among my top ones (although I'm sure I'm forgetting quite a few). I really like Asphalt 7 thus far as well and would count it as one of my favorite games right now, but I wouldn't say it's a "huge" leap or groundbreaking so don't know if I could say it's GOTY material (could be the bargain of the year though).
I know they're diff, but if that kind of game came to contention it would only be one of them(the original or the reimagining?) My vote would go to Nihilumbra right now because it's amazing however, the games that I think have the best chances as of right now are Fieldrunners 2, Hero Academy, Waking Mars, Swordigo and Chaos Rings 2. For future predictions Infinity blade dungeons would def. be in their along with a Battleheart 2 if it comes out. Also Star Command if it Ever does come out and lives up to the hype. Some other games to watch are Saturday Morning Rpg, Sling shot racing, and Star warfare because of updates and such. Games like Magic and Summomer wars are still kind of new, Depends on how big they get etc... *please move this thread to general discussion
Swordigo Nihilumbra Score! Classic Goals Lumi Great Big War Game Pizza vs Skeletons Waking Mars I don't know more yet especially since I think that list doesn't have all of the good games released this year and I made my nominees based off that list.
I've bought a LOT of apps this year. Theres been a lot of excellent games i keep going back to but i must admit Swordigo blew me away. Loved the graphic style, loved all the different levels and played it a LOT. Must admit the only negative was the ending (very stressful !). But a great game and a true iOS classic. Swordigo gets my vote
You can nominate 10 in the official thread fyi not just one, but I know, Swordigo will probably get my vote too
For me: Ghost Trick Best Sneak Bandit Waking Mars Fieldrunners 2 Swordigo Adventure Bar Story Saturday Morning RPG Run, Roo, Run
So far my GOTYs are: Ski Safari Waking Mars Bee Leader Inferno+ Outwitters Lost Winds 2 Lets hope Super Meat Boy and Super Feed Me are here at the end of the year, also looking forward for Random Heroes, RBots final release, IceBreaker: A Viking Voyage and Revolutionary Concepts new games. Great year ahead of us Edit: and Forma.8 too
Fibble Run Roo Run Fieldrunners 2 Plague Inc Outwitters Angry Birds Space Saturday Morning RPG Nova 3 EDIT: OMG I FORGOT SWORDIGO! HOW DARE I!
Thanks for the votes on Saturday Morning RPG so far. Great to hear you guys like it enough for it to be in your top 10 games of the year so far! My picks: Swordigo Sky Gnomes I'm also pretty sure Lili is going to be a serious contender. One of the guys from Bitmonster helped us shape SMRPG with extensive feedback and playtesting - those guys are geniuses. I have no doubt that game will be amazing.
How many more episodes do you think will be realeased by the end of the year? That could have some serious impact on its potential.. I liked the first 2 but after this long people will be expecting alot.. Good luck with it...
We're hoping to have Episode 3 and 4 out by the year's end. Episode 3 is huge, though. It should take thorough players at least three hours to fully conquer - and then there's a crazy hard optional boss whose defeat unlocks content in an older episode. Plus, endless battle will add a lot of extra replay value.
