    I create awesome paper airplanes that I will sell
    Here
    I'm looking for the funnest games, preferably with a decent amount of content, but for sure the funnest. Here's some I'm thinking about (feel free to suggest anything though)

    Giana Sisters
    Mailmen
    Time Crisis Strike/Second Strike
    PacMan Remix/Champ Edition
    Welder
    Amateur Surgeon 2
    Super Mega Worm
    PocketWings
    Ace Rider

    Anything else? Which of these are the best/most funnest? Or is there another game out there that's really amazing I've passed over? Thanks!

    super crate box is the funnest game

    Any recommendations for Adventure Bar Story? I'm not into rpgs, but this one looks interesting and the price is very appealing.
    Also, any good 99 cent games from the last 2 months worth checking out? I've kind of been outta the loop.

    Any good arena shooters on the app store. Don't tell me archetype cause I'm not to fond of that one.

    Also I highly recommend adventure bar story.

    I've never playEd FFT Before and was wondering if I should get it? All I can say is that I really like Shining force 2 how it blended in the story elements with the combat system. Normally I would just get it but it's 16$ and just wanna make sure. Well that's 1 option I guess also I still need to gEt crimson gem saga. And how much better is modern combat 3 over 2? I can say I liked the main storys for mc2 and the halo one(forgot the name)2. But the multiplayer Wasn't that good and I dunno Id rather just play archetype. So Is Mc3 significantly better than 2 in terms of multiplayer. Finally I'm interEstd in tactical soldier but I'm not exactly sure it is?

    On FFT -- the combat is way different from Shining Force. There are probably videos you can find on Youtube, but in essence it's a lot more strategic/tactical, more like a game of chess than anything. This, coupled with the difficulty, makes it more of a game for hardcore players. If you really like games like this, however, you will love it. The story, combat system, and content are unmatched by any other iOS game except Battle for Wesnoth.

    If you've never played a Tactical RPG, you could try the demo for Rebirth of fortune here. (Note that Rebirth of Fortune is a very stripped-down version of FFT and isn't really worth the purchase). FFT has a lot more in terms of story, cutomizability and strategy, etc. But this demo should give you a basic gist of how the combat works. Hero Academy is also similar in combat style, and free.

    ipad upgrader - recommend some games

    I'm still using the original ipad, and just pre-ordered the ipad 3. I'm really looking forward to being able to play games that I couldn't on the original ipad, like infinity blade.

    Any other recommendations for games that would shine on the new ipad?

    Those are some pretty good suggestions.

    I just got a 3GS (from an iPod 2G) so I've picked up some others that I couldn't play before but are good:

    Pocket RPG
    Radballs
    Epoch
    Great Little War Game
    Death Rally
    Bike Baron
    Darkness Rush
    Bullet Time HD (freemium)

    And there's a lot more on my list...just can't blow all my money at once...

    I use to play deadlock online which was pretty fun... It's not really in 3d, more like an early Rpg game on the snes or playstation(graphics wise)

    There was some game where u went around with little robots shooting eachother but I forgot the name of it

    I don't know what an arena shooter is(sorry...), but MC3 is the best online shooter in App Store! GET IT NOW! Lots of bugs, but the game is still very much enjoyable. If you want to, you can get MC2 also, but MC3 is better imo.
