    TouchArcade has helped me find so many great games, how about you?
    My games that I downloaded from seeing on TouchArcade are Car Jack Streets, Zenonia, iBomber, StoneLoops!, Parachute Panic!, Peggle, The Sims 3, Real Racing, Defender Chronicles, and many more!

    TA has been a REALLY big help in pointing me to games I may have never discovered on my own. Whether it's through the forums, the front page items, or even the list of New Games, I have found this site extremely beneficial. I also tell many others about certain games I read about here.

    A resounding YES from me. I tend to find myself hovering around the [buy] button for anything in the main headlines :)

    Well written reviews and I can honestly say, the best forum section I have ever been part of for honest opinion...
    Sure some threads go astray but generally rock solid.

    The developers also pay attention and feedback on the site which is awesome :)

    Thank you TA!
    :cool:

    I'm not sure whether to be thankful to TA for bringing so many good games to my attention, or totally pissed with them for helping me to dig larger and larger holes in my wallet:D;)

    EDIT: I'm very curious who said no?

    It was very funny how I found TouchArcade, I was on PocketBlog (Pocket God's website) and they had a link to TouchArcade, so I was like I'll see what this is. WHOA... was all I said when I saw it and I've been downloading some awesome games ever since. :D

    Interesting, I wonder who did say no, although I'm sure I can guess.

    I was happily content with my overstuffed wallet before I found Touch Arcade. I was on Google and searched something about "iPod touch" and stumbled upon here. Ever since, I've had to deal with an app addiction that can't be stopped. And yes, it has helped me buy otherwise unknown apps. I've bought pretty much every game featured or with a long thread on it.

    Hi BigA,
    I'm not sure whether you are accusing me or someone else. Just for the record, I pressed unhesitatingly on the 'YES' button:)

    So, the 'No' mystery is yet to be solved...

    Actually, you were the last person I would accuse of saying no. I was just responding to what you were saying. ;)

    @dogmeat...I was just looking at comments in Eli's Star Defense review. That alone gives me some ideas.

    hmm, lots of haters on stardefense review comments but the loudest and most obnoxious of all:

    your personal robot

    thats my guess.

    ah, well that's good to know:) I guess it was either as a joke, or a back lash after the SD review.

    Yeah, I don't really understand the backlash personally speaking.

    Its the internet man.

    I used to admin a site called pixeljoint for about 4 years and the one thing I learned is that if people are given the chance to complain, they will, regardless of how stupid the complaint is.

    Seems more prevelant on sites like this that are market driven and have more users.

    Humans are social creatures and in the internet age, everyone wants to have a voice and be heard.

    Hmmm, I got scared that maybe I accidentally hit the No button. There were 0 no's when I voted. Then I voted and wrote my reply. By the time I finished my reply, there was a No vote. <GULP!>

    On other sites I've seen a button to access what I voted, but I could not find it this time.
