My top 5 games:
Doodle Jump
Critter Crunch
Glyder
Bloons
Galcon lite
(The full version of Galcon isn't worth imo, the additional modes are rubbish)

Can't wait for the Bloons update =D

Including free ones, I currently have 64 games on my i-pod touch... and around 10 or so other applications
My total i-tunes store bill so far is 27$, or 17 games and 1 application
In total I've downloaded 158 apps =P

How much have you guys downloaded so far?

Issit slower on the i-phone when got more applications? Or just leads to more memory leaks so faster battery drain/slower performance?

Also question about Tap tap 2, how fast is your song download speed? I always find it really hard to download new songs, either too slow, download breaks halfway or cannot connect to server at all =(

I finally caved and bought Alien Abuse =P
Essentially the game feels like a scaled down Serious Sam, fight through hordes of enemies using a variety of different weapons. The controls made for hard going at first, but aren't too hard to get used to. A nice gameplay quirk is the power-up gadgets, allowing for example super speed or even flight. The level design isn't exactly inspired, but this is compensated for by the difficulty of the game. It's a challenge on easy sometimes, so there's plenty of space to replay this game, especially as there is a great deal of content too (on top of the story mode there's a few extra levels).
There are still some bugs that need to be worked out, like ammo getting stuck in the floor, but nothing major. I'd recommend this to fans of iDracula (although it's more linear gameplay thru levels rather than arena style combat).

@ali86
I would say NFS, seems better than Fast and Furious (which is what I bought). It's a bit too short and is mission focused.

I bought fieldrunners a while ago as well, but didnt find it that fun. It seems like if you actually want to win, you have to stick to a few strategies, so there's not really much room for the player to be creative with their defence (although it appears that you can).
I think WC3 td maps spoiled me =P don't get me wrong, fieldrunners is a great game, and stays fun with different maps and difficulty levels. but if you're used to a td with lots of variety through multiple races to choose and towers galore (there are only 6 in fieldrunners), I'd suggest holding out till one appears in the app store.

Dark Nova is free for a limited time and I highly recommend it =D
A port of the palm classic Space Trader right down to the tribbles. Still seriously addictive, been playing all day =P only problem is quite a few bug issues, hopefully fixed soon..

I downloaded the Sims 3 =D
First impressions are a miniature serving of the Sims, everything is essentially the same, just scaled down. Like you can buy and sell furniture, but you can't knock down and build walls (although you can buy house extensions). You can also only control one sim at a time, which wasn't too much of a problem for me. Goals start popping up which act as mini objectives, which range from cooking a specific meal to catching 15 fish.
The only problem is that the game seems slightly limited in that the skill trees are too easy to complete. After only 3 days of fishing I had already mastered it. After extending my house, I found that gardening was just as fast, tending to your plants a few times made them spring out of the ground ready to harvest. There are other small omissions that seem weird, like the alarm clock is gone. And there's no need to clean your toilet anymore.

And then one day, after I decided to make minestrone for breakfast, my sim was running late for work at the laboratory where he works as a test subject. I arrived 15 minutes late, the first time I was late for work yet. Uh oh, looks like my sim drank an unmarked test tube and is dead. RIP Gary.

Overall the game is a nice little pocket version of the sims that'll keep any fan happy for a while. Hopefully with a few modifications in updates to make it longer, it'll truly live up to the massive 10USD price tag.

Edit:

Really? I'm dreading in-app purchasing... it just means paying more money if you want to get everything out of your game. And if there's multiplayer and in-app buying, it'll just mean those who choose to buy extra content will have an edge over those who don't.

I have the same problem with my goals. They just keep recycling now. Hopefully it'll be fixed in an update soon?

I managed to get to the top of the career ladder, I had a goal for it that completed when I got to a $300 a day. But yea, my boss is still above me. My plan is to get her to move in, then try my hardest to kill her =P although I'm pretty sure there's no actual way to do that...

I also found it was kinda weak that you can't make any of the couples break up. Unless anyones managed to do it?

also if you're playing a game with very advance graphics that requires a lot of ram, make sure you close the game completely by holding the home button for about 8 seconds. if you always do this then you wont have to reset as much

Zenonia. It's on half price sale at the moment at 3USD, there's a lite version to try too =D
Also I think it's one of the best games in the app store, there's 20+ hours of gameplay, side quests, random magic items, and the character sounds identical to Link from LoZ when you attack =P


It's really bad. After waiting for it, I was very disappointed. Compared to iDracula it lacks weapons, modes, maps.... everything really. I'd say wait at least a few months so the devs can finish off their damn game with updates

Picked it up too, have to say anyone that's vaguely interested in it should buy while it's still on sale, it's a lot of fun. But as fly pointed out, the controls are accelerometer based with no alternative, which I find to be it's major weakness. Only because I tend to play my i-pod mostly during my daily commute, and Doom is really hard to play in a moving vehicle =S
