Can we perhaps make this an unofficial thread for all questions regarding "What is the best game of a certain category"? Compilations are great! Regarding this, I do have such a question. What is the best word game app? There's an overwhelming cornucopia of mentioned games, that when I play one, I always wonder if the grass is greener elsewhere, in another similar app. The top ones I've found so far are Abca and HexaLex. Any good mentions?
Glad you like HexaLex! I haven't tried Abca yet but it does look slick. I'm biased on word games, but I'll say that my favorite "pretend to be a detective/lawyer" game is Phoenix Wright.
A+ Phoenix Wright is enjoyable. I also enjoyed HexaLex (thanks Nathan ) and I am in Love with Moxie 2 and Jumbline.
I havn't even played Hexalex, but you're now an awesome developer. That said, it looks like a pretty awesome word game. And for broad genres, here's my top games: Adventure: Phoenix Wright, Broken Sword, Monkey Island 1/2 RPG: Chaos Rings, Final Fantasy, TNA Wrestling Action: Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, Hero of Sparta II, Hybrid: Eternal Whisper ARPG: Necromancer Rising, Zenonia 1/2 Shooter: Call of Duty: World at War: Zombies, Brothers in Arms 2, Archetype Fighting: Bruce Lee: Dragon Warrior, Street Fighter IV, Blades of Steel Turn Based Strategy: War of Eustrath, Rogue Planet, MechoWars Action Sports/Racing: Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2, 2XL ATV Offroad, Jet Car Stunts Casual: Fruit Ninja, Fastar!, Tilt to Live Horror: Prisoner 84. That's it. I think that about covers everything.
Platforming Reflex-based: Super Quickhook Puzzle-based: Rolando Shooting Reflex-based: Meteor Blitz Ammunition-management: iDracula Racing Time-trial: Jet Car Stunts Competitive: Real Racing Puzzle Logic: PathPix Pro Match-three: Sigma Strategy Real-time: Land Air Sea Warfare Tower Defense: Plants vs Zombies Turn-based: Battle for Wesnoth
I see you say Sigma is the best match 3. I'm just getting into the genre, is that widely considered to be the one to get? Any others? I have Chop Sushi.
I played a ton of puzzle quest and then just suddenly lost interest. It's like overnight I got sick of matching gems.
