Best new games so far?

[CrimsonToker]

I think it's far enough into the year to start a discussion about it! I just picked up Implosion earlier, and I think it's got my vote. Amazing graphics and hack and slash gameplay that's second to none!

The Adventures of Poco Eco is floating my boat at the moment.

I like Hack & Slash games on a PC/Console, but could never get in to them on a handheld device.

 

[CrimsonToker]

I've never heard of this game, I must investigate...

 

[El Presidente]

It's unique, maybe not everyones cup of tea, but it's the sort of thing I like.

Stylish, a very good soundtrack and can be played for 5 mins at a time.

I second Implosion. I'm hooked.

 

[CrimsonToker]

I can't wait to unlock the second mech, it's so awesome looking!

Did you see how many badges you need to earn?? 60 something. I've only got eight!

This game should keep me entertained for a while!

 

[El Presidente]

I might give it a look.

The only IAP is the full unlock of the game, is that right?

Yup, and you get six levels to play through for free - which is definitely enough to get you hooked.

I'm still really excited that you can't but the in-game currency even if you want to.

I need to try this after vacation. I don't want to get it before as I'll spend my time in my room tethered to a charger.

Some levels they really make you work for those badges!

It's OK. It suffers from the same problem a lot of these type games have (for me anyway) in that some of the text is way too ridiculously small to be readable and as a consequence, I miss some of the stuff on screen.

The full version is also £8.50 which is a over my self imposed price ceiling for a mobile game (and when you equate it to dollars, I pay more than you guys which pisses me off).

It does play better than a lot of similar games in the genre though and from my limited exposure, the story seems quite good.

Spoiler: There's a patch/hotfix for that...

As fetching as I'd look in the blue ones at the top, I already wear glasses and it's still too small.

How much does the game cost ?

Implosion that is ?

Free 6-level demo, $9.99 IAP to unlock the rest of the game. No other IAPs (not even to purchase in-game currency). The game looks to have at least several hours of gameplay and lots of replayability to earn "badges" to unlock new gear - again, which you can't purchase with real money.

So while it might be a bit pricier than other games on the market, I have zero issue with supporting a developer who took a responsible approach to monetizing their game.

 

[Bearsyzf]

I may have to check this out, the price tag is a bit high for a game though .

 

[codesplice]

If nothing else, you can probably get a good 30 minutes or more out of the demo to see if it's something you want to stick with.

For me Real Racing 3, I like racing games. From multiplayer games the best is Clash of Clans.

Looking forward to the Room Three this year.. And Republique episode 4&5.

 

[Unforgiven]

Looking forward to the Room Three this year..

Really??!?!???!?! Can't wait. I hadn't been paying attention. I figured they would have updated II with an epilogue and teaser like they did the room 1.

Damn site is blocked at work. Will check when I get home.

I've been confused about the game of thrones app. Is it actually a game or one of those interactive book apps? Those are weird...
