ARogan:

Way back before there was a street fighter I was pretty hooked on the old arcade game Karate Champ

I played that game in the arcades way too often when I was a kid.

Is anyone still playing Words With Friends? I’m looking for new challengers instead of random players that seem to quit playing after a couple of moves.

I’m not sure if my Words With Friends interest waned around the same time as I got an iPad or if the iPad version of the app killed my interest, but I slowly went from taking turns multiple times a day to once every few days.

I’m open to any and all Words with Friends challenges. My account name is OrfBC.

I played it a ton for a few months but the bonus tile arrangement eventually made me lose all interest. It’s borked.

Is anyone one qt3 still playing We Rule at all? Finally getting around to checking it out, username malphigian.

Hans_Lauring · 2010-05-26T06:59:52.000Z

You don’t play We Rule. You log in once in a while a click on stuff.
Having built all there is to build, I just check in once every few days and click everything and that’s it.

WhollySchmidt · 2010-05-27T15:19:39.000Z

I’m still playing, username Schmidt.

Yep, I’m still playing. I could use a little more vendor traffic as I slowly approach level 25.

Side note: is 25 the max level? Do you still accumulate xp?

Classic Prince of Persia is out for iPhone for 99 cents! Go relive the memories!

I REALLY like the Quest. The writing is terrible, though. And it takes great patience, with lots of resting. I’m playing as a battlemage.

Anyone tried the new Might and Magic game that released today? Is it iPad only? Or can it be played on the ipod?

TouchArcade says it’s an iPad client for the ‘Might & Magic Heroes Kingdoms’ browser game, and that it’s only available in Europe.

I’m still on, username: edmcw

I hope you will find the shopping in my kingdom to be convenient and easy.

The Quest is pretty amazing, yep. It’s particularly insane on a mobile platform. And considering it’s made by two guys in Hungary.

I don’t think the writing is that bad to be honest. I don’t see it being far worse than say Oblivion was.

And I’m still really impressed on how many different paths many of the quests have. The quest in the first city where the guy wants you to recruit that boy in the goblin village is a good example. There must be like four different ways to solve that.

Has anybody tried Kometen? It looks pretty good, but I’m still sitting on the fence.

Yes. It’s got a really cool art style and no real point. You just travel slowly around the galaxy by flinging yourself from orbit to orbit, and the only incentive is that the big “planets” each have a different picture on them, and every now and then you’ll pass some amusing object floating through space, or stop to eat some floating shapes to refuel your “go real fast” ability. That’s good enough for my $2, but I’d be cautious recommending it.

That sums it up pretty well. I think if they put in some kind of goal-directed activity (even a checklist of neat things to find) it would help. As it is, it’s a neat toy, but haven’t really felt compelled to rush back to it.

It’s from the same dev as Blueberry Garden, and it shows. Both games toss you the mechanics and set you loose to figure out what’s going on. I’m really enjoying it if only for the music and art style, but the way it doesn’t really set any goals may not be everyone’s thing.
