My main complaint with tablet and touch games are the controls for some genres. Companies produce 3d fps and tps constantly but for me they control terribly and make playing the games a chore instead of fun. When I purchased max payne mobile i had to rely on the game aiming for me half the time. If not for that I would die constantly. I am just not a fan of emulating the twin stick controls on phones. I find it sloppy and inaccurate. And because there is no tactile response I had to constantly look at my controls.

Some games work great on phones however. Games designed for the device from the beginning are awesome. But for me some of my favorite genres simply dont work.

Yeah it's excellent. However The marketplace is atrocious, utterly the worst thing. I like that anything can be sold on it, at the same time it's a horrible sink hole - and many good games simply get buried under absolute tripe. Apple could learn something from Steam, or hell, have a proper categorisation and recommendation system (like Valve).skrat_01

Yea the App Store is by far the worst, and I have no hope that it will get better simply because there are so many apps on it (around 600 000 last I heard).

Well, the game he put a picture of is the best iOS game, and one of the best games to have been released on a mainstream platform in the last ten years, so I think he was arguing FOR iOS gaming, not against it.charizard1605

I wasn't arguing for or against iOS, I was just stating that thats the best of iOS. (which IMO it is)

129 pssssh. Me and my friend would play it in class, and between the two of us we have almost 900 hours xD

[QUOTE="charizard1605"][QUOTE="musicalmac"] I don't know his position with any certainty, but I do know it is most certainly not what I would consider one of the best games. :P

It's okay, though. There are a ton of high quality gaming titles available, it's hard to pick a few as the best. quaappybla

[QUOTE="charizard1605"] Yeah, iOS has a surprising number of great games on offer, And come on, game Dev Story is so good. I have a cumulative 129 hours sunk into it, that's more than I ever gave most console games. :Pcharizard1605

So far I have bought all the kairosoft games (the android ones at least) and I would have to say, I've enjoyed them more than I do most pc/console games. Game dev is their best, but I really like epic astro and the soccer one.

Also nice to see someone who actually agrees with me about Game dev on this on this forum.

The problem is most financial anaylist think this is the wave of the future. That cheap hardware and cheap casual games is the only way to go for video game makers to make money, and if thats the case I will get a new hobby. The funny thing is apple doesnt even produce cheap hardware its just extremly underpowered for its price .
