No worries man, it's given me and the missus hours of entertainment.
Look for the 'VG Museum' level. It's normally in the top levels and it's fucking awesome (lots of pixel art).

There are actually 15 questions, each of the three alternatives differs. Also no, you have to fill them in and a recovery email to be able to purchase new apps from here on in. Apple recently started rolling out these beefed up security measures.
I think the recovery email is optional.

I have Pulse on my phone. You can get feeds for just about any type of news, but I have mine set for three gaming feeds. My only issue with the app is that you can only select from the news feeds they have listed. That being said, the interface is really well designed.
No, you can add custom RSS feeds in Pulse, Cogwheel > Add Feed > Search > enter direct URL to .xml feed or keyword for the site you're looking for, then Add.
As someone who has never played a CRPG, is Avadon a good entry game to the genre or should I wait for Balder's Gate (if that is any easier)?
Of their two IOS games, Avadon and Avernum, this is arguably the "easiest" ... but if you're not already a genre fan some of the more old school qualities of the game may well feel outdated for you as opposed to invoking nostalgia.
I would suggest downloading the PC or Mac demo, to check it out and see what you think of it if you're unsure.

I thought I liked RPGs but Avadon bored me rigid by the second screen. Dullsville.

I'm glad it wasn't just me. I want to go back and give it another shot, but it made me question if I was the one that was all wrong, considering all the lavish praise Spiderweb RPGs get.

Cool. Thanks for that FYI. They have some decent sites already listed, but there were some others I was hoping to add as well.

Got a code for the ad free version of Draw Something from freeappdaily. Quote to reveal.

Same here. Figured it was just me as it was so praised. Maybe I was spoiled as the only other CRPG I played was BG2.

Well only if it's on sale or you can get it through MyFreePiss.
The desert is a harsh mistress...
Got it. Thanks!

I just jumped in. I want to hear every news be positive!
I know I am SLTTP, but Sworcery is amazing and Aquaria is incredible. I am enjoying every second with those games. Infinity Blade 2 is technically glorious and the Sam and Max episodes give me hope for adventure games in general. I've been an apple user for 3 days and I am pretty satisfied.
I own a Vita, don't talk to me about deserts.
Buy the Hector games and be ready to pee the white pee

I'm at work, but will heed this recommendation dutifully! Never heard of them.
Also the Broken Sword games (remastered / Director's Cut) are classics, of course
If you like Sam & Max, then pick up their Tales of Monkey Island series. You can also take a stop and pick up the remastered Monkey Island 1 & 2 from Lucasarts
Simon the Sorcerer 1 & 2 are also available

Hope's Quest is FREE
Seen it mentioned here before, don't know if it's worth it or not, tho.
Intelligent Qube inspired.

Not actually that important
Added. You guys just let me notice/PM in case I've missed a relevant thread.
That'd be cool. Would have thought he'll have to wait his turn though. He'll be a valuable member here.
he has been in queue for some months i think
but yes he would be an awesome/valuable member.

Thanks for the heads up. This looks like the exact game with new skin. Gonna see if they ripped stages straight from the ps or psp version.
That's the guy who praises anything, even the shittiest game, on his site. I've also heard horrors from people who visit TA and get their comments erased if they are "negative".

But the piss is so refreshing! There is condensation on the side of the glass and if you hold your nose it looks just like still lemonade!

Yeah! You have good taste m'man
EDIT: Of course you have good taste, that's an Anachronox avatar You might also enjoy Waking Mars and Lost Winds for more of that Metroidvania goodness. Incoboto is a neat puzzle platformer in a similar vein as well.There is loads of awesome stuff out there. I feel sometimes like this thread is a strong river, constantly pushing us downstream, and the games are like salmon, jumping past us. You grab one or two but so many slip past, and by the time you're finished playing what you have, you've missed a dozen gems.
I realise that I stretched that metaphor too far and it may have snapped.
But yes, games, awesome!
I'm currently playing Swordigo and loving it, did not expect the game to be quite so charming. It's like Zelda 2! Also re-hooked on League of Evil 2, that is the next game that my backlog clearance has targted. It's so damn good, I can't believe I only played a few levels before moving on.

As a testament of my adventure liking, I have played all of those games already
(in non apple systems)Some of us waited over a year for activation...

Hector is also on PC ;*
Did he sign up because of Republique?

I spend a lot of time over there now that I am gaming regularly on my phone, and I haven't seen any issues like that. I tend not to be a douche bag when developers give me free shit, but I do give honest feedback. Of course, I've been accused (here) of being a marketer merely for giving positive feedback, so it cuts both ways. I get pretty pissed when I get screwed by a game, but I also get equally excited when I feel a game goes above and beyond (hence my screen name -- I'm a fucking neeeeeeeeeeeerd). Discussion on TA seems to have a lot of both. To be honest, I've seen other users be quite candid, and no one's ever tried to suppress their comments.

I think TouchArcade is slowly trying to change their image and maturing along with the ios
app store. At the beginning their reviews were pretty bad and they were handing out high scores like candy but the iOS scene was much different then. It seems like they are trying a lot harder to be a legitimate gaming site now and not just treating it like an iOS blog.

Cool. Look forward to over-enthusiastic reviews of average games.
Speaking of TouchArcade, found this little gem posted just now

...eh, I don't know. I mean aside from Clash of Heroes (which could only marginally be considered an M&M game) has Ubisoft really done anything with the M&M franchise other than run it into the ground?
