They've put up a couple of classic Choose Your Own Adventure books in iPhone form. Might be worth checking out for some nostalgia.

Uniqlock is worth a bash for silly value.

Ha!

STRICT iPhone App Store or Audio/Video Podcast downloading rules, I'm afraid - 10Mb limit, max over the 3G connection. Anymore than that and it's either got to be Wi-Fi or via desktop iTunes.

Aye. I still dont understand why you can't access the iTunes store via 3G though, apart from the podcast bit.

Neither do I, to be honest.

That said, 3G coverage over here (and in the US) is generally rubbish, so it's probably a good thing until O2 and the other mobile phone service providers get it together on that front.

I see the MSX version of Aleste is up now. I've had a quick shot and it is an MSX emu with simulated A and B buttons on the screen and tilt control for movement. Classic eighties action ahoy. Seems a lot harder than I remember.

Katamari Damacy! Only reports I've heard so far are complaining about the framerate. Anyone brave enough to take the plunge, please report back

[ne0star]

After reading the reviews I think I will wait to see if they patch it. There is no reason why the iphone isn't capable of a decent Katamari port. In theory it hsould be able to come pretty close to the PSP version.

SimCity should be out any day now! Also, i see there's a command & Conquer clone out...

iNXES is a nice update to keeping track of your xbox 360 friends. Now looks like the NXE!

I bought Katamari. Yes the frame rate is horrific. It's not just that it's choppy, it feels like the game keeps stalling. And yet the graphics are really basic. It's pants.

I need to stop buying these.

Yeah i'm gutted they have botched the conversion, that would have been an instant purchase for me. Hopefully they are watching the feedback and will release a patch.

Tap Defence is quite good - especially if you are a novice at tower defence games like me.
