    So are you mainly looking for platformers and adventure/RPG games? You have to be a bit more specific because I coul pretty much list you the whole Game Guide and then you'd be lost once more. ;)

    IDK if what I'm about to mention is for iPad (you may have to do 2x) but....

    Minecraft LE is bleh! So that leaves Eden.

    However Junk Jack is a really good sandbox game. I'd also recommend you checking out The Sandbox which is coming out this year! http://forums.toucharcade.com/showthread.php?t=103784

    Should I get Mage Gauntlet? I don't especially like RPG's but this one is supposed to be really good.


    Should I get Terra Noctis? More importantly, is Terra Noctis compatable on 2nd gen iPods? I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE platformers!

    Yes both games r great, I dont thin terra noctis works on 2nd gen. Mage gauntlet is alot like Zelda or other action RPGs except not as heavy on alot of the Rpg elements... It's kore about exploring,fighting and minor equipment, stat an other upgrades.

    Just made a thread, I guess I should've posted it here


    I just played a little bit of modern conflict and was wondering what games r similar to that and which ones are considered the best and how theyre different etc...

    Is supremacy wars close to what modern conflict is, is battle for Westnoth similar and should I get it if I'm looking for something like modern conflict...

    I dunno I'm just not smart about strategy games, I know there's a list, I guess I'm just looking for some basic help from a strategy game veteran... Thanks

    Ok I just noticed there's another thread like this where he wants games and I saw people posting alot of stuff I have so I guess I'll list that(I'm not looking for tower defense I guess or atleast traditional I dunno)

    Battle heart
    Paladog
    Anomaly warzone
    Great little war game
    Anthills
    Jelly defense
    Tiny heroes
    Tiny defense
    PvZ
    Tactical warrior
    Defender chronicles

    Battleland
    Knights Rts
    Mushoom war
    (Last 3 I just got)

    Also I'll list stuff I'm not really interested in unless u can convice me otherwise-

    Nuroshemi hex ( and all those hexagonal type ones)
    Card games
    Board games
    kairo soft
    Zombiefarm/smurf village free app type



    some other games I'm interested in -

    3 kingdoms (it has a free one and another I think)
    War of eustrath ( I dunno what this is?)
    Swiegecraft
    Fantasy defense
    Fantastic Knight
    Flying defense
    Dungeon defender
    Field runner
    Bloonstd4
    Ancient war
    Civilization
    Conquest
    Chicks
    Kingdoms at war
    Battlepath mosters
    FF Tactics
    Powder monkeys
    4 towers onslaught
    Magic defenders

    Theres so many I don't know what to get.... Maybe a few good ones if it's worth the price and etc... I need some insight

    @Darth Ronfar Yes Supremacy Wars and Modern Conflict are of the same ilk. I actually prefer Supremacy Wars over Modern Conflict (which is a good game). Supremacy Wars is absolutely fantastic and gets my seal of approval. Sh*t...dis SW come out this year??? I'll have to add it to the guide if it did.

    I really liked Siegecraft too. It's a really nice and simple RTS.

    I'd actually choose Ravenmark over FF Tactics. However FF Tactics is an amazing game as well.

    I'd also choose King of Dragon Pass over Civilization. KoDP is the best RPG/TBS that you can currently buy on iOS.

    Ya. Was actually just checking out ravenmark and I dunno...

    Guess supremacy wars is one I'll get. Siegecraft is now looking more like a game I'd want... Still not sure about civilization or king of dp.

    Thanks for ur help

    I guess the other games I want to hear about most would be..

    Flying defense
    The 3 kingdoms games
    War of Eustrath
    Powder monkeys
    And this ship(I mean like pirate ships in the sea) game that's suppose to be similar to galcon. It's 3 dollars and made by a familiar company can't think of the name though.
    Also field runners and bloons td4...

    Well, the three kingdoms games are free.

    Field runners is a good game, but I never really got into it like everyone else.

    Bloons td, I haven't played yet because I always think of the original bloons, which I didn't really like all that much.

    I have no idea what ship game you're talking about!?!

    Go for it!

    Ok, I might as well get it, 2 people have said that it is good, and I think that every review website has rated it high.

    I create awesome paper airplanes that I will sell

    Should I get Ascendancy and Pocket Halfpipe? I'm fairly new to 4x, and Pocket Halfpipe also looks really fun.

    I haven't played Halfpipe nor know anything about it but I got the Ascendancy over this weekend sale. Since you are fairly new I would recommend Distant Star because it is much simpler but Ascendancy is .99 at the moment and it is a definitely nice grab (+ more promised updates) if you are into 4x games. Only complaint so far with Ascendancy is the interface which is bad and the game isn't that difficult (which might actually benefit you)

    Long story short, if you really want to play 4x on iOS then yes, do get Ascendancy (especially while .99)
    I am having an eye on Starbase Orion at the moment which supports excellent online play and better interface but it is 7.99$. They say that is the best 4x available

    I can attest to the Starbase Orion thing. I've had it since day 1 and haven't had any regrets yet!
