Honestly, it is not much different than when you purchased yours. I was going to buy myself one this month after waiting for a long time, and my wife saw a way for my daughter to surprise her dad with a fabulous gift. Since the money is in the same account, there is really no difference.

I have done a hard reboot twice without success. I have also emailed BFG. No answer yet but I am sure they will tell me to reboot and/delete and re-install. From the game reviews on the app store it sounds like a handful of people have similar issue though at different parts in the game while others have finished without any problems. Any ideas why?

It was a very nice thought though and makes it more special that your daughter (and wife) got you something you really wanted. Only thing I will say, an iPad really spoils you when you go back to playing games on the itty bitty iPhone

I still do quite a bit of gaming on both, and it really depends on what the game is. There is no question that things like HoGs are much more fun on the "big screen". However, I find that I much prefer to play games like Temple Run, especially ones that involve tilting the device, on my iPod Touch. This is doubly true when the game is portrait.

I have so many games left to play on my iPhone so I have no choice. Plus I can't see myself carrying my iPad around in my handbag. Its heavy enough with everything but the kitchen sink. I played the City of Fog on x2 on the iPad and it wasn't brilliant but passable. Playing the third awakening but this time on the iPhone. Keep thinking it would look so much better if it were bigger

I haven't had any of the crashes listed or other issues besides some navigation difficulties. One thought I had this morning, have you closed the game out of your task bar ( sorry, I don't remember what Apple calls it). Rebooting an iDevice doesn't remove it's memory state for some reason. Double-click on your home button and the find Grim Tales by swiping the bar, hold your finger on Grim Tales (like you were going to uninstall it) and click on the x. Make sure you're in the task bar and not on one of your home screens. That will force it to reload the whole program when you run it next, and with any luck, help you out.

I'm with you on this!

The browser, mail, calendar and App Store are much nicer to use as well.

I am wondering cos BFG normally have navigation for their casual modes. Like those arrows and sparks. For Grim, I only see a twinkle and zero arrows and I am not sure if it is because there isn't any in this game or cos I selected no when the game starts asking if I need interactive help or something along those lines.

I don't think there are any. I choose to have the help and haven't had any appear.

I always chose not to have help but even then there are usually sparkles.
