    In reply to Aqua Forest 2 iPhone Physics Game Review
    to be fair, move-the-marble-into-the-hole games are vastly superior to get-the-ball-on-a-string-into-the-cup games.

    Awesome cartoon, I lived in Japan when the cartoon first aired and never missed an episode.

    I never understood why they didn't just form the Blazing Sword right away and same themselves some trouble.

    Wouldn't one person (probably the black lion) end up steering combined-Voltron while everyone else watched? Boy, that sounds THRILLING.

    @Jeremy: Not necessarily. There's *a* pilot on the USS Enterprise, but certainly keeping that machine going, functioning, and even defending/attacking is not the sole responsiblility of one man.

    Yeah. Let's play over WiFi or Bluetooth. And then, when it's time to slice the Ro-Beast in twain, the battery cuts out.

    In reply to Song Summoner Comes From iPod to iPhone, Uses Your Own Music
    I've long passed the point where I would automatically check out every single Square (and later Square Enix) game, just by virtue of it being a Squaresoft title, and almost certainly a quality title. That said, what the hell, Square? We get some tower defense game... and then a music RPG? I mean it's a novel concept, but where are the hardcore final fantasy games? I'd kill for a brand new final fantasy game in the style of FF2-3 (US versions). Or a damn crono trigger port for crying out loud. Maybe I'm just being old when I say this, but where are the RPGs of old on the iphone?

    @Señor Cagon: well i'm assuming you were talking about the crono port, not the NEW final fantasy games made for the platform that don't exist.

    But in that case, it runs like hell on my 3g and the controls are blindingly frustrating. the interface / controls are the only things that would need re-working.

    In reply to Song Summoner Comes From iPod to iPhone, Uses Your Own Music
    If I recall, this came out right around the same time I purchased my iPhone 2G, and had sold my iPod. I was always disappointed. Very interesting premise, like the old Monster Rancher games for the PS1.
    Is it worth $10 though?

    @Ryan_Long: If the new game is anything like the original, it was pretty disappointing yes. I bought it for 5 bucks and thought that my own music would be involved in more ways than it was, or that the song titles/artists would have something to do with the character names/places/something. That's not the case, and basically the songs are just used to randomly create a character based off, I don't know, magic or something.

    If there was a way to make the characters created from your songs a bit more customizable it might have been a lot more fun.

    The gameplay is just basically Final Fantasy Tactics Light, which isn't a bad thing, and was pretty entertaining, but it didn't hold my interest very long. I was expecting a game that was a bit more personalized around my musical tastes and got something else. Not a bad game, just not what I was expecting.

    But on the other hand, it was only five bucks. I didn't feel too bad about it.

    @korybing: That sucks. I was hoping I could breeze through this game due to the enemies generated by my shoegazer-laden library, who would simply sit there and ponder their existance while I stroll on by and collect treasure.

    I'm going to have to check it out. Is it the same devs as the original?

    ... also I'm sure you probably just forgot, but a mention of the price and a link the iTunes store would be nice. I wouldn't usually complain, but since that info is usually in these reviews I just wanted to point out the small oversight. Which for the record, it's $2.99 [itunes.apple.com]

    Ah, I remember the old computer version of this game, it's still fun to see what happens if you push someone down a set of stairs... too bad I don't have an iPhone

    Bring on the Truck Dismount. Hours of wasted time in college was spent on these two programs.
