    ...Or do iPhone/iTouch apps really suck as of late?
    I'm rather frugal, but I'm a hound for high-end apps and am constantly looking for some great games to play, but it seems that the ones being released for the past couple of months haven't been up to par. Am I just picky or has the quality decreased?
    If there have been any superb games made in the past few months, please do share. :)
    Tilt to Live is a no from me. I know it will probably be the most common one suggested, but I can't make myself play it. Maybe I'm a sucker for graphics or just looking for something that will last a long time. :p
    Opinions and suggestions are all welcome.



    To get an idea of what I actually purchase, here's my current gaming list (in alphabetical order):
    Ace Combat
    Adrenaline Golf
    Adrenaline Pool
    AirCoaster
    Anrufen
    Assassin's Creed (1, 2, and Multi)
    Brothers In Arms
    Bust-A-Move (I love classics!)
    Cogs
    DDR S+
    The Deep Pinball
    Downhill Bowling
    Dungeon Hunter
    Eliminate Pro
    Final Fantasy (1 and 2)
    Finger Physics
    Glyder (1 and 2)
    Graal Online (I favor MMOs)
    Grand Theft Auto
    GT Racing
    Inotia 2
    Labyrinth 2
    Let's Golf
    Low Grav Racer (1 and 2)
    Parcel Panic
    Pocket God (I'm only listing it because I hate it)
    Pool Pro Online
    Quizarium
    Ravensword (Big fan of long-term RPGs)
    Real Racing
    Rhythm Racer
    Rock Band
    Sally's Spa
    Skee Ball
    Speed Forge Extreme (The better version of LGR)

    I've considered Sparkle for a while now but can't find any details info or videos. What's it about?

    No problem!

    Also, if you like music games, Six-String looks really good and polished. I haven't played it myself yet but have seen gameplay videos of it.

    and I think that the quality hasn't decreased it's just that you played too many good games which you eventually got bored of and when you look at games you compare them to the games you have

    I didn't know that was an actual game but I've been waiting for the price to drop :)

    Holy crap that looks awesome but are the maps going to be that cluttered when it's released?

    I have been waiting for a drop too but it is getting harder and harder to resist :)

    I often have that problem too :p I've learned to wait though, because more often than not, I'll buy an app, and a week later the price drops.

    Ew. :( Six-string is WAY unreasonable when it comes to purchasing songs. It should have bundles for 99 cents rather than each song...

    That's what I thought when I looked at it! They should have made the game itself 99 cents and then the in-app purchases would not be so bad.

    I'm going to plus one on both of these. Both are in my very regular rotation, and have just an excellent level of quality and polish.

    If it were 7.99 with unlimited song downloads (like Tap Tap revenge with their one-time fee and optional purchase for complete album packages) I would probably still buy it because it looks amazing. Maybe if we start a separate thread and get a bunch of whiners, they'll see it and change their ways lol!

    I'll probably have to get train conductor 'cause I've had my eye on that one for a while :p

    I agree completely! There is a thread for the game already: http://forums.toucharcade.com/showthread.php?t=48483&page=4

    Hopefully the devs are reading this and maybe will change their pricing layout...*fingers crossed*. I don't mind paying the $5, but I definitely don't want to end up paying a dollar extra for every song including the price of the game itself. I will see how much longer I can hold out until I crack :)
