    I have $46 in my account. Any good recommendations in general? Please no obvious ones like IB2.

    Don't stalk me.
    Have you ever heard of trism by demiforce? It is the best game I have played on the iPod, but does not get a lot of acknowledgment. It is a match 3 game, and uses the ipods capabilities well. I don't know how much it is.

    Sorry to hear that, I wish you the best of luck in upgrading.




    I was asking because I saw you asking about a couple of newer games the other day, and I thought you had been to lazy to update your bio.

    I am actualy going to upgrade in mid-January. My original plan was to order my 4S online a few days ago, but realized that my billing cycle got in the way because I'd be charged for 2 months.

    I'm enjoying my 4S. I've always used apple products (ipod, ipad, ipod touch, macbook, macbook pro, imac etc), but my wireless provider didn't start carrying the iphone until recently.

    No, you are not crazy. But your definition of "nothing special" is bonkers. The game has mechanics that I've never seen on a platformer before, especially when dealing with enemies (it make Super Mario Land 3D, which I'm playing a the same time, seem shallow in that arena). And the level design, gameplay variety, and controls are top notch, a rarity on iOS --not to mention that it runs at 60 FPS and there seems to be absolutely no pop-in. There is no question in my mind that the game is remarkable.

    Hi all, I'm new here.
    I just got $15 iTunes money, I have a 4th gen ipod Touch, with roughly 530 mB space left.
    I have (now or in the past) had:

    S&S EP
    Dead Space
    PvZ
    Galaxy on Fire 2
    Baseball Superstars 2011
    Mirror's Edge
    Scribblenauts Remix

    I'm currently looking for something immersive and really enjoyable, be it an RPG or an action or a sim, whatever; any recommendations?

    Welcome to TA! Off the top of my head, if you want a big open-world RPG, your best bet is Aralon: Sword and Shadow. It's only a buck right now! Also, check out the best-of lists on the Touch Arcade front page:
