    I've got a HUGE list in AppSniper that I want to buy. I've been putting them off for various reasons, the main ones being time and money (both of which are limited these days). The ones I've been looking at recently though are:
    Fighting Fantasy 1 or 2
    Gamebook Adventures 1
    Doom 2 RPG
    Inotia 2

    And then a few secondary considerations:
    Rogue Planet (or now Transformers too since I tried the lite version)
    H.A.W.X.
    Stranded w/o a phone

    Buy the game, right now. Seriously. If you don't, I might have to slap you across the face through the computer screen. And if that doesn't do it, I'll slap your mother.

    I'll be looking at you through your computer screen until you buy it, glaring at you. Glaring at you in pity that you've wasted the meaning of iPhone gaming, just because of a measly $2.99.

    Shame on you. Shame on you for not buying it when it came out. Shame on you for putting such a polished gem off for so long! I'll send a Cursed Ghost Chaser after you!

    Gah! I'm going to hook out of here, before I shotgun blast you and command Hookbot to claw you to death, then pile the extensive hat collection of Hook Champ's all over your dead body to hide to embarrassment you've caused.

    Thanks for ruining my day! (Buy the game and my day might turn out okay :D)

    I like it that we all seem to put off these games for ever and ever and ever and then they finally catch up to you one day and you cave and buy them.

    I felt the same, and then I just bought it and don't have a single regret. it's awesome.

    as for me, I keep putting off tilt to live. it's getting raving reviews here on ta but I just don't know if I want it.

    I tried Tilt to Live, and it's a fun game if you like casual pick up and play games. If you're looking for a really deep game, you might want to find another game. If you're looking for a game like Doodle Jump, but with more action, then you should probably pick this up.

    I'm in the same boat as you on this game. I want it and I have been watching it for a long time. I've come so close to hitting the buy button but haven't yet. This game has yet to go on sale and who knows if it ever will. In the meantime, I'm waiting.......

    Games

    I basically wait for sales... the truth is there are so MANY games out there I can usually get something I want for $1 or $2 tops. I don't see the point in spending more as I don't have the time to play the games I do buy.... they tend to pile up.

    But to stick with the threads theme: I'm waiting for NOVA, Asphalt 5, Space Invader Infinity, Hook Champ.

    Yeh that is a good strategy. It works well for games from indies most of the time. Gameloft games will probably never go on sale, as never will a lot of the bigger name games.

    Have lots on my wish list but for some reason I just don't wanna spend $3 on it. Still holding out for a sale on this one!
    I think once Mirrors Edge comes out, I might not even want Canabalt that much then...we'll see.

    Canabalt is overpriced. Don't get it.
     
  20. I think it's just Final Fantasy 2 and N.O.V.A for me.

    Hopefully Square decide to bring the rest of the Final Fantasy series to the iPhone :)
