    I think Soosiz, Dungeon Hunter, or MiniSquadron should have made the list instead of Sally's Spa and Canabalt.

    sally spa was pretty lame, although canabalt was alright

    but i agree minisquadron deserved to be on there

    Hey! How come you say that? Canabalt is not very deep or complex, but it is hugely entertaining for when you jsut want to mess around and kill time, and it runs pretty dang smoothly for going so fast. And what exactly do you have against Sally's Spa? from what i hear its one of the best time management games out there, ive been wanting to pick it up myself, actually.

    Eliminate, Paper Toss, and Sally's Spa shouldn't have been on there. I never seemed to enjoy those games.

    personal taste !
    sallys spa is good if you like time management games

    and with most others if you dont like the genre you wont like the game

    With all the hype, reviews and the fact that it's the closest thing to Super Mario Bro, Soosiz was a huge let down.

    I still have it in on my iPhone, but stopped playing after a dozen levels.

    It's well made but its just not that fun, at all.

    As for Canabalt, I would consider it one of the best mini games, but not for this list.

    Understood. Let's just agree to disagree and move on. I don't want to turn this into another 70 page thread on Canabalt. lol. You liked it. I didn't like it.

    RPG's are the fathers of time management. :D

    And Dungeon Hunter is a great RPG.

    I agree, about Eliminate, it should not be there. Perhaps on the greediest developer list?

    Paper Toss could be among the best min games. Sally's Spa, never played.

    I would take Eliminate and Paper Toss out of that list.
    I would include: Soosiz and iBlast Moki.

    What? RPGs have nothing to DO with time management! Where did you pull that from?

    Yeah, they should have divided the list into categories, maybe a top 5 for each game category. Best RPGs, Best Platformers, Best Minigames, etc.

    Just because you personally don't enjoy a game, doesn't mean it doesn't deserve what it gets. Eliminate was a big deal, and a major first, i think it does deserve to be there.

    Yeah, Paper Toss is a fun game, but I wouldn't say that it's better than Soosiz, Dungeon Hunter, or Inotia: A Wanderer of Luone. Inotia: A Wanderer of Luone probably entered a little too late to qualify though.

    I pulled it from my ass. :mad:

    Whatever one thinks of the final make up of the list, it's encouraging to see that many indie/small developers are represented.

    Did you not read the title of this thread?

    "Games that should and shouldn't have made it on Apple's Best of 2009 list"

    That is why he/she expressed their opinion.

    Perhaps someone should make a thread titled:

    "Posts that should not have made it into the previous thread"

    Your quote would be first on that thread.

    Okay... I'm getting tired of your harassment. We're practically neighbors. Let's meet, and settle this like a couple of gentlemen.
