ive been playing it too, also at work occasionally

good fun, and one of the goons at Something Awful did the art apparently

Also everyone should get Pandora Box - you can set up a list of favourites and it will check for price drops.

it's the best app ever

just installed it thanks for that,

shaneus you should be ashamed of yourself pimping that space invaders shit, it's like blind buying "rise of the robots" cause the sceeenshots looked cool then realising that the games a steaming pile of snail shit that's been sitting there for so many years that, a conglomerate of snails got together for many years and took a dump there for a 10 year period thus ending up with enough poo that would make a horse/and or mr.ed shudder in fear!

What's with comparing that Space Invaders game to Rez?

He was probably playing it during a rave.

Music synchronization, graphical style, boss warnings (also similar to Ikaruga in that regard) and general presentation of the game. If you've played it you'd see exactly what I mean.

of course i bought the right one, i gave it a go at work today maybe i was a little harsh on it, or wanted to stir ya up (didn't work that well) it's not too bad once ya get past the 1st stage, problem is my finger was starting to ache after a while and secondly, you can't really see whats below you when you are able to move all around the screen due to your finger being in the way!

still not worth $6 imho, definately worth $3 if they have a special on it

hey since you've been playing ragdoll blast yourself, is it possible to get past every level by just using the one ragdoll? Or 2 min on the ones that seem impossible to get past in one go? just wondering.....easily my fav game i've dled now, my iphones been playing up the last few days the touch screen dies for a min now and then real pain in the arse, especially when you are playing a game on it!

I bought Castle of Magic last night. What a sweet looking platformer. Controls are surprisingly good for an onscreen d-pad. I've been on quite the iphone gaming binge recently, probably bought 6 or 7 over the last month as they all run so nicely on the 3GS.

All up spent less than half the amount of a normal console game ... great value, high quality gaming.

Star Defense is $2.99 and is AWESOME. except i dont like the 3d world, but its still great tower defense.

it does have plus+ in it too for achievements and gamerscore

BigSwingingUdders · Post by **BigSwingingUdders** » 06 Aug 2009 10:58 am

So my 3Gs arrives next week, so far I should get:

Zenonia
New Space Invaders
Peggle

What else is good?

pilonv1 · Post by **pilonv1** » 06 Aug 2009 11:08 am

I Dig It
Star Defense
Slugger (home run derby)
Draw Race
Geo Defense
Flight Control

Get Pandora Box first - basically an app tracker for sales/new items and you can set up a list.
