    I create awesome paper airplanes that I will sell
    Here
    I'm going on a trip tomorrow and I'd like a game that's fun and can last a decent amount of time. Ironically I'm asking something super similar to the person above me, as I only have 99c at the moment.

    I have no clue what to get. I'm possibly thinking of Catapult King, Plague Inc., Sky Safari. But I dunno....

    From the ones you mention I suggest Plague Inc.

    But you can actually get three great games that have just become free.
    Mailmen, Tower of Fortune and Ballistic SE.
    ToF and Ballistic I already had before the sale and are exactly what you're looking for: fun and they last more than a decent amount of time.

    Loved Sky Safari, but once I finished it, it was gone -- no updates, unfortunately. Plague is morbidly addictive. It's not one of those games you necessarily feel good about playing, but it's hella difficult to put down. Catapult King I was simply not a fan of. The idea is cool -- basically Angry Birds in 3D -- but in execution it ain't great, and the presentation is pretty ho-hum.

    Is UNO (by Gameloft) worth the buck? I'm a fan of the original card game, but a few reviews complained about the new IAP and how the game became pay-to-win. For those of you that have the app, is it true?

    Umadbr0?

    I mention it when people ask for RPG's or games that last long, or have replay value.

    It's an amazing game.

    Thank you.

    I suggest all types of games. (I'm not spamming, I'm helping people pick out something I believe they would enjoy).

    If anything you both are "spamming", by typing irrelevant post that have nothing to do with helping anyone, or contains anything that relates to this thread.../


    EDIT: Just checked this out... (doesn't that seem like "spam"?)

    No problem man, glad you're enjoying it.


    Max Payne is good, with the exception of the sometimes clunky controls. It's also level-based. If you're looking for a game that has replay value, have you checked out either of the GTA games?

    Chinatown Wars

    and

    GTA:3

    Of the two, I would recommend Chinatown Wars. I think the controls are better suited for the touchscreen.

    Try Defender Chronicles 2 (currently $2.99) and Pocket Planes (Free). Both offer a ton of replayability and are solid games to have (see thread links in my sig for more info).

    Any games with user-created levels or randomly-generated levels?

    I got 3 bucks.

    Haven't played it, but I believe the new Ichi does have user-created levels.

    Yeah, Ichi is awesome. Has a level creator and user-created levels. Same goes for Bike Baron. Ski Safari is really good if you want a new endless runner type.

    Do you still have to enter codes to download user-created levels for Bike Baron?

    As shocking as it may sound, I have never played a game by Square Enix and am looking for a starting point. Which of their games would you recommend starting with? Price does not matter.
