Yep.

Who does that?

TA gives positive reviews to indie devs who don't have a cent to give to anyone. This statement is just ridiculous.

I would. Do you know why? When IB2 was released, TA released a 5 stars review, talking about the graphics and the gameplay. Well, let's say that there were two BIG bugs in the first version of the game (one of them is still in the current version, but it doesn't happen that often): one that made the game crash in almost every device, and other bug that deleted your save data randomly. Almost everyone lost save data thanks to that EPIC bug, and more people thanks to that EPIC review. And now, they are giving DT only 2 stars, while this game has almost no bugs, has way better gameplay, way better graphics, and everything better that IB2.

Really, I don't give a f*** at TA's reviews, but some people do, and THAT is unfair.

Oh wow, 2 stars... The thing I disagreed most were controls. The controls in say, Black Ops, are terrible, but in this they felt good. Sure I'd love customizing size like in MC3, but the controls were still second most comfortable to me on any iOS FPS. Don't know where they took that from.

Come on, don't lie man. We all know that Cliffy B personally picked you up in his private G5. Smokin' on cubans and sipping on Cristal, on the way to his private estate in North Carolina.

These forums posters aren't stupid. They know what kind of shady, high stakes back room deals that go on in the iOS Game Review Industry.

Why should any game be given special treatment? The platform is completely irrelevant, it's possible to create a fantastic game on virtually anything. You don't need a particularly huge amount of cash either. If I was a developer I'd be more insulted by people saying "It's not great, but what do you expect from iPhone games?" than just being straight and telling me it's not a great game period, in a constructive way, of course.

The gameplay is very repetitive, then again so are infinity blade 1 & 2. But somehow tapping a dot to move and then swipe at the same fein/monster you already fought 20 times already is ok, simply because you are now using a different sword, armor, helmet with the sole purpose to drain them. That seems to be fantastic gameplay according to TA staffs. But let Mad Finger applies the same logic in a zombie game, and proceed on giving you kick ass graphics, ragdoll effects, FULL 3D MOVEMENT, fun guns, sweet power-ups (slow motion brings a smile to my face everytime) and more all tide up in a nice package that doesn't lag on my iPhone 4 (unlike IB2 & BlackOps) and only occupies 201mb, yet somehow, according to TA staff, it's a tech demo!

Well, if this is indeed a tech demo, I'll gladly pay more than $1 for tech demos of this calibur. That's a whole lot more than I will pay for on-rail snoozers disguised as RPG action games, aka Infinity Blade series!

Wow… I think is no reason cruel the TA article. 2 stars??? For what? You missed the story? Look Cod zombies. You think repetitive? Look any dual stick shooter that is level based (like Monster Shooter). Controls issue? I am active in this thread from day 1 and even one of the hardcore haters didn't say anything about the controls. The game has issues? Look IB2. As someone said it had HUGE problems the first version but you gave 5 stars. Ok I am not saying is a 5 star game… but come on 2 stars? I can understand that this is one mans opinion but I think that an article writer must act more professional and not as a casual consumer. Anyway I don't want to argue with TA team, I love your work and your site but I think this review isn't fair at all.

I couldn't agree more.
