    ha, I was just wondering about if I should get it or not because I don't want to really take up that much storage space, but then I remembered "oh wait, I can just install it onto the computer then put it on my ipod later!"
    So I got it.

    Any other suggestions? I'm thinking about Game Dev Story...go or no go? I've heard it's really good, but I'm not entirely sold for sure...
    What about:

    King of Dragon Pass
    Resident Evil 4
    Pocket RPG
    Battleheart
    Minecraft Pocket

    If you like sim stuff, most TA-ers will tell you that Game Dev Story is like crack, so that's highly recommended, especially since it kinda goes through the history of video game consoles.

    I think most Gameloft games fit that bill.

    Lol, that is true, the only problem is I have most of them. I was looking for something a little less known.

    Hrrm. Army of Darkness pops in my head for some reason. It has action, you can summon knights mindlessly, and it's actually pretty fun.

    Wind Up Knight - TA review
    Space Miner - TA review

    Game Dev Story and just about any other game made by Kairosoft is really good. Here's a review

    Out of that list, Pocket RPG and Battleheart are the best. The rest of them get mixed reviews.

    Depends on what you're into...I couldnt get into gears. I like Blueprint and Gesundheit a lot though, both puzzlers but i think Gesundheit is better.


    And the best word game for iPhone is W.E.L.D.E.R. I think. Also Spelltower is really good too.

    So hey - I'm looking for an RPG that isn't too grindy and where different armor actually changes how your character looks.

    Actually both of those things are like Mage Gauntlet, but any other RPGs that are similar?

    All suggestions welcome - nothing is too obvious.

    Edit: Aurum Blade and Crimsonheart I've bought, so don't mention those please.

    welcome to TA.

    We have a game of the week initiated and maintained by some fantastic people. Agas has maintained a list of all the Game of the Week Winners since it's started. A good place to visit for the best games that have released on a week on week basis. The link is

    Also, go around the website. jjj has pointed you to a useful article. TA gives an article like that everymonth. You are in a good place to know about iOS gaming. Only problem is... if you spend a lot of time around here... you might end up spending a lot on iOS games. Way more than you'd ever imagined.

    Mission Europa will scratch that itch for hours and hours and hours....

    It has an almost cult following here among some TAers as well. I think there is a free version to check out as well but I could be wrong about that.
