thank you for bafrds tale been waiting for a sale, free is even better

Can't believe Bard's Tale went free! I would have bitten at $.99 or even $1.99. I'm glad I check this thread daily for these updates. Never got around to wishlisting it.

So excited Google Maps is back. While I don't mind Apple Maps, it's not THAT bad, I do miss the ability to skip ahead to familiarize yourself with where you're going. I know how to get to the freeway from my house.

Minigore 2: Zombies (Universal) just came out last week and is already on sale for $0.99 until December 31st.

Not a game, but Google Maps app is out. I tried it and it's good, with one exception being that, unless I'm missing something, it bizarrely does not include integration of the address book. You can see your own home and work addresses, but can't see anything else in the address book. Why? Otherwise it's well designed and the turn-by-turn navigation works great. Good voice quality too. I'll be using it for sure.

Does anybody here play Battle Cats? It's a cool TD game. It's a great time waster and the leveling up makes it horribly addicting. You can enter this code g8tp0 in the main menu once you reach level 7 for free xp which you can use to upgrade your stuff. I only need 10 invites for a free character unlock so I'll delete my code once I get it.

Doubt it since apps are heavily sandboxed. The only time I've even seen an app be able to launch another one is when a file has the "open with" option. But that isn't apps talking to each other; the various apps simply subscribe with the os for certain file types.

No iPad 1 support :(

Ascension going free is nice but you're going to want the expansions at some point. It's fully featured without them though. The expansions have been on sale in the past.

Ascension and Reiner Knizia's Samurai are the two best async multiplayer games on Iphone. Lost Cities in third place.

Battleline might have been a contender had it had a better implementation. It is a better game than Lost Cities in most ways but LC's app is better designed, prettier, and sexier.

Don't get me wrong, Ascension is far from the best card game you'll ever play but Playdek's masterful app design and the game's perfect balance of depth and turn brevity means it is easy to get into or come back to on down the line. Many others like Nightfall and Summoner Wars are denser and more obtuse.

Really, in a general sense, I use Boardgamegeeks for my Iphone gaming news more than anything else. "Traditional" games have been a wasteland on Iphone with few exceptions. But board and card games vs. AI or online have been some of the most consistent fun I've had. And I don't mean your dice throwing monopoly crap. Real games of skill and chance like Battleline, Catan, other Eurogames, etc.

GhostGuitar is on sale for 99 cents. Has anyone gotten this app yet? I'm wondering how well it works.

Toca Band is the free app of the week.

The You Don't Know Jack game is flawless. Was worried it would be too long but it's only 5 questions instead of the normal 20. So much fun!

what in the world is going on. is this a positive open-minded confoosious. it really must be christmas.

I cannot find this listed on appshopper.com nor does it show up when I search it on the App Store BUT EA finally released a free version of Scraable HD for iPad. The only link I have is as follows:

I do not know what the difference between the pay version and the free version is but if somebody could elaborate on that then that would be nice.

HIGHLY recommend picking this up if you like iOS strategy card games of any sort. Hours of excellent game play, easily my #1 played game since getting an iPhone last year. The expansions are cheap and definitely worth buying but you don't need them to enjoy the game.

AppShopper hasn't found the drops yet, but Rovio has dropped all their iPad versions down to 99-cents each:

• Amazing Alex HD
• Angry Birds HD
• Angry Birds Rio HD
• Angry Birds Seasons HD
• Angry Birds Space HD
• Angry Birds Star Wars HD
• Bad Piggies HD

Thanks for the heads up on the bards tale! Wife just got a free iPad at work so I had all the HD versions of Angry Birds on appshopper...hopefully most everything I need goes down to 0.99-1.99 for the holidays lol...def want PvZ and World of Goo.

Heroes of Order & Chaos is free, and also fantastic.

This is the MOBO (League of Legends genre) not the MMORPG called Order & Chaos (Same developer and universe though) It's set up very similar to League of Legends on PC. 3 vs 3 or 5 vs 5 co-op or free for all on two different maps. They rotate 5-7 Free heroes a week, and I believe their is 40 so far.

Side note: The Order & Chaos MMORPG no longer has a subscription, before you had to subscribe for 1,3,6 months.

Thanks for the heads up on Bard's Tale and Ascension. More great games to play on the toilet!

damn just bought minigore zombies 2 days ago and it dropped a buck. oh well. good thing i held off on angry birds star wars and bad piggies

I suppose I'll pick up Bad Piggies iPad to see what it's like. At least it's different from Angry Birds.
