Oh, BTW - If you want Rolando 1, best jump on now... apparently the devs will be pulling it from the app store once #2 comes out. It'll be the first thing I buy!

Hey does anyone know if framerates are improved with the same games on the new 3G S? Games like Hero of Sparta and whatnot.

There is a troubling general acceptance of shitty framerates on 3D iPhone games for some reason.

No idea, another guy at work has Zenonia so when I get it ill check, but i did notice it slowed down a little.

Here's a guide though.

http://firemintrealracing.blogspot.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; ... -demo.html
We're thrilled to be showered with such praise, and it got us wondering what we can do on the new hardware. Real Racing has up to six cars on the track at any one time. Since the game uses a high fidelity physics engine, adding cars is a good test for pushing the hardware. We started our tech demo with 8 cars on the track, then 10, 12, 16 and 20, and the 3GS still didn't break a sweat. We finally stopped when we got to 40 cars on the track at the same time, still with no perceptible drop in frame rate. We think the results are mind blowing.
:drool:

DrawRace is awesome fun. Highly recommended at $1.20

When the video started playing I thought that was a big screen and the fingers on the left were actually a silhouette of the guy playing and jostling the iphone all over the place.

Droplitz is cool on XBLA and that's supposed to be on iphone as well. If it's anything like the XBLA version I'd recommend the iphone one, even though I don't have one myself.

i've been playing eliss for a bit, but it gets fucking hard, and i suck at it, so i've given that up tbh.
i'd like to play it more but i have to get better really

i've played a whole lot of wolf3d, which is pretty good on a phone because it saves when you exit, puts you back where you were. maybe this deserves to be on the front screen again?
monkeyball sucks dick. don't get it.

time crisis isn't bad...for a phone. don't bother.
katamari is excellent. get it.
zen bound is another ok game, interesting and kinda ok, but nothing SUPER amazing. the only problem is that it gets a bit samey after a while. unbelievably.
