That's a very well done OP, by the way.

Cool, thanks, looks like my copy-and-paste skills are putting that Bachelor's degree to good purpose. Now I just need someone to post on that thread how to not suck. I love strategy games, but ironically since I am a military officer, I'm a wargame newb with no experience other than Panzer General....on XBLA.

Help me out....I can't find a Catch-all for Shenandoah's Battle of the Bulge here on GWJ? Is there someone with more GWJ and strategy cred willing to make one?

If u start one and people get into it then I would probs get the game because I am just weary of not having friends to play with. Also is there a Game Center name list?

thinkklink, you should get the game regardless of how many friends you've got to play it, since it's such a quick and fantastic experience.

I don't know of a GC username thread, per se, but there are two places I know of to find them on GWJ. There are many listed on the iPad Games catch-all, and secondarily many posts within each game's catch-all often refer to GC usernames and requests for friends.

And here again is the new catch-all for BotB link.

I am also a military officer in the DC area. The war game thread will pull you in even if you arent a wargamer.

Looking for a Flash friendly browser i came across Puffin. Anyone else had experience with it, using it, had experiences where they would say avoid/must have?

Just looking for feedback before i buy another browser App only to have it fail on me or just not be used.

The free version works with flash just fine, but has ads. The zoom is a little off. I'd suggest using the free version first - https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/puffin-web-browser-free/id472937654?mt=8

Is Puffin endorsed by Idle Thumbs? Does it have a Goldblum mode? These are important considerations.

Nipple filter seems to be hit or miss at this stage

Hunters: Episode One HD is free for this weekend only. I don't know how the game is, but the price was right for me.

Here is my App Store review of Final Fantasy: All The Bravest:

"I have been an ardent supporter of the FF brand for years, and I can't call this a step too far.

It's a long jump too far. This is a ridiculously shallow and pointless game, cashing in on nostalgia in the worst way. Pay for the app, pay for the characters, pay for the stages, and, if you lose a battle, you either pay to continue, or wait for an hour before you are allowed to play the game you paid for in the first place!

I have no real issue with IAPs in a quality game. This is not even a game, frankly. All you do is drag your finger around the screen to activate attacks, with no control other than that. It's a money pit, rather than a game.

Hilariously, you earn in game currency for winning fights, but...there's nothing to spend it on! Real cash only, people!

SE should be ashamed of themselves for putting this cynical bilge out there, and Apple should be ashamed of themselves for allowing it."

One star, obviously. I'd remove that, if I could.

Playdek's catalog is on sale for .99 each, including the full Summoner Wars.

I never played Hunters 1 but I think Hunters 2 is pretty good. Thanks for the tip.

Is there a price? I've avoided double dipping on PC but the iPad is perfect for this.

Polygon reports $5. A bit high, but to be honest this game has my heart, and a friend of mine is already down for some matches once it releases so I will be filthily doubly dipping.

That's not high at all, in my opinion. It was a full price DS game and then $15 on Steam. $5 is a steal. I asked about the price because it deserves to be priced much higher.

Oh I was just saying it is high compared to...well .99 games on ios lol I agree that its a good deal for value.

I have this on XBLA, and I'll definitely double dip for the iOS version. Seems like a natural choice if they implement the swiping right.

Really liking The Curse, a puzzle game (series of puzzles, really) from Chicago dev Toy Studio.

Cook, Serve, Delicious is on sale for $3 until I don't know when. Enable me?

Bought it yesterday. Have played two 'days' so far. Looks... fun? It's really easy to get overwhelmed when multiple events start stacking up, and I've found that it is REALLY easy to accidentally trigger the wrong counter slot... on multiple occasions I accidentally served undercooked chicken while frantically stabbing at a receding adjacent task.

It's a great version of the game. You make interesting management choices and the food prep is manic and fun. Good game, would recommend.
Edit: Giant Bomb Quick Look of the PC version.

I manage to do this quite often just playing on the PC with a keyboard. It's just damn hard to press the buttons I mean to when pressure is uprising and watch clock is going minus. I do love it, though.

Been playing Heroes and Castles alot over the past few days. It's a first person tower defense that lets you play multiplayer coop online. Hit me up NomadGWJ on gamecenter if you want to play.

Anybody have a favorite flash-enabled iOS browser?

I started playing Cook, Serve, Delicious based on your guys' mention and the Giant Bomb Quick Look of the PC version. I'm not sure if I like it but I have already earned my first star, upgraded a bunch of foods, etc. It feels like a Kairosoft game but more frantic. I'll probably get 10-15 hours out of it then be done, so that seems fine for $3.

I am putting out contracts on all of you for not letting me know how much fun Field Runners 2 is. Played last night until almost 3 am. Can't recommend this one high enough!
