    Buying .99-1.99 game that just aren't full games. I bought Doom and what not when they were on sale and they are great! I have about 8 bucks left and am going to buy a 5-8 dollar app for once (trust me, I hardly spend this much on 1 app) but I am stuck. I know most people will say Gangstar will give me the most bang for my buck, but what other "pricey" apps are worth condsideration?

    Thanks :)!

    :(
    Just my luck, including tax, Gangstar is about .32 above my budget..*sigh*
    So now I'm looking at mainly the 4.99 games, but with so many like NFSU, Assassin Creed, Touchgrind, I could really use some other peoples opinions :)

    I'd say only buy Gangstar if you don't own any of the 3D GTA games. It's not a bad game at all, but if you own one of those you've already got the best available. There's more unique stuff to be found on the App Store.

    Touchgrind is awesome but hard... they never quite nailed the navigation. It's rare I ever actually line up with a ramp or rail and when I do it's total luck and by the time I notice I've rolled into it anyway. It's a great idea and it's fun to mess about with, but getting the highest scores seems to involve just spamming a few useful tactics rather than enjoying some freeform skate/finger-boarding.

    I honestly think Assassin's Creed is fantastic. One of my top 5 games in the app store. And it's LONG. Lots of story, lots of fun, mild puzzle elements, hack and slash action. Some people got a bit frustrated with the controls, but I looked at it as part of the game...you're an assassin, you're climbing walls, balancing on skinny beams, jumping on ropes, wielding grapling hooks...it's supposed to be difficult! I'd hop on this one definitely...bought it at 10, and don't regret it a bit.

    I hated Assassins creed. It doesn't deserve the title.

    I would get Peggle or Sway.

    Peggle and Sway are both permanent games on my device. Peggle's also permanent on my PC and Xbox 360.

    Woah, was it cause of controls like I've heard?
    The virtual joystick isn't smooth enough to do the move quick enough or something along those lines?

    Peggle doesn't seem to grasp my attention,Probally cause I have never played it on the 360 or PC, Sway does but the whole, only 25 levels is throwing me off a bit.

    I agree on Peggle or Sway over Assassins Creed (though I actually think it's a good game). My current obsession right now, though, is Samurai: Way of the Warrior. It's only 2.99 but it's definitely a full game, and it's simply awesome. Check out the thread here:

    Well here's your chance!

    Peggle: WoW Edition - Free

    The iPhone version has far more levels and challenges than this one.

    No, the controls were fine. The awful, boring story, abrupt ending with no conclusion, laughable voice overs, Altair thinking out loud to do the most basic puzzles like pushing a button or two, repetitive combat, idiotic AI, annoying combat soundtrack played over and over, the dumbest minigames I've ever played (which was just a touchscreen gimmick on the DS), and there isn't any real freerunning, just climbing over walls, swinging on some ropes, avoiding some spikes, and running across tar.

    Sway lasts much longer than you'd think.
