That system has been in place for as long as I can remember with the "Was this review helpful to you? Yes/no" function. The problem is that when you view the App Store from an iOS device, you can't access the function. Secondly reviews are sorted with the newest first on iOS, rather than by "most helpful" as they are by default in the desktop version.

I think they do have the ability to do that, because some apps have specific correct requirements at the side, but some don't, so I think it's maybe a case of developers not realising they can do it and instead just say about it in the description

The iPod Touch 5 is pretty much an iPad 2 with a few thousand pixels less and a much smaller form factor.
EXACTLY, I already have a phone, don't want an iPhone, I was perfectly happy with my iPodtouch 4, bought it as soon as it came out, when they announced the iPodtouch 5 I was pretty excited, even more considering the iPodtouch didn't upgrade once while the iPad upgrated like twice or so, I was going to be able to play the lastest games silky smooth, then I read the iPt5 tech specs and those specs were already outdated!

And my excitement died along with my wish to upgrade to an iPodtouch 5, it just doesn't worth it.

Amm I think it's a new handheld mobile gaming console thingy, called project SHIELD.

It runs on Android and uses tegra4 technology.

Sounds like the new N-gage, but I think this time the market is ready for something like that.

As long as they're upfront this time on it either being premium or freemium I'd be happy.

I just hope it's not freemium with a renewal subscription model. I would rather play a premium fee, or pay for some iAP's but I prefer not to pay for a monthly subscription.

It will be out in June and it will be freemium with no pay wall according to the dev.
No subscription was mentioned. Less reliance on gold bars to purchase items and more focus on in game currency to earn enough credits to buy weapons.
The intent seems to be to make it free to play but to add iap for customisation and other minor things that will generate income in order to support the game with updates.
Features that current players have requested will be aimed for but not clear yet what will make it into the final game.
Will include boss fights.
Graphics will go through a very big upgrade with a lot more particle effects, onscreen characters and character variation.

Agreed.

"Shadowgun and Dead Trigger showed how Tegra can redefine mobile gaming on Android,” said Marek Rabas, chief executive officer of MADFINGER Games. “Project SHIELD's performance has allowed us to bring an even better experience with Dead Trigger 2, debuting first on Tegra 4 devices. Our fans are going to love it."

Damn, so some kind of exclusive period?
