Dude where has your Karen avatar gone?? My heart aches...
I couldn't pass up this awesome new avatar from Fuzzy.

If they fix the framerate, I could make a game out of unlocking the characters. For $2.99, I'm fine with that.

I wish Capcom made SFIV Volt universal. I enjoyed it on the iPod touch but the control layout makes it unplayable on iPad. Since MvC2 is universal, maybe they'll give it a shot.

So after spending a bit more time with Mahvel, I do have a couple complaints:
-No Taunts (that I have found or figured out how to do)
-When doing DHC's, I cannot utilize all three characters. For example, I can do Cable's Hyper Viper Beam, DHC into Cap's Final Justice, and when I try to DHC into Psylock's Psi-Thrust, it brings out Cable and does his Hyper Viper Beam. Same if I use Psi-Thrust and then Final Justice. I try to bring out Cable for the last hit and it brings Psylock back out. I haven't tried too many other people yet though, so I don't know if those characters are glitched or the game only let's you DHC from character A, to character B, and then back to character A.
-Cannot resize buttons. Things felt cramped on my phone so I just got around to trying the iPad. I don't mind the virtual joystick, but I want to be able to resize the other buttons and make them bigger. I've tried spacing them out, but they still feel too small.
Overall I still am enjoying it. If they could allow me to resize buttons and fix the framerate, I would be very happy with the game.
I wish I had an iCade...

You need friends to unlock stuff, but there is a "look near people" button, add people, and don't care anymore of any social stuff.
There is buyable cash (and rooms that require that kind of cash), but each time that you upgrade a room up to level 5, you get a cash unit, so you can always grind cheaper rooms and delete them to get cash for the exclusive ones.

Sunshine Cruise Lines I had a lot of fun with that game.

Does it work with iCade?

Having never played Minecraft, is playing the iOS version a good idea? It was recently updated to include crafting, but I'm still unsure of whether it's a decent facsimile of the PC version.
Any opinions?

They have a free (lite) version up now. I tried it on my iPad and I'm just not sure about this game on a portable system. I still need to try the PC version.

Damn, I actually have no clue.
How would someone know? Try the game on iCade and see if it works?

I think they would tell us in the description whether or not it worked on iCade. I'm surprised how few iOS developers support it.

Here's a list of iCade compatible games I've been keeping updated: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=34357699&postcount=223
I use this thread on Touch Arcade to help with it: http://forums.toucharcade.com/showthread.php?t=96023
The TA thread isn't always updated so I decided to make a list on here, and it's supposed to get added to the OT at some point. I'm slow at updating it at times but it's more organized than the one on TA.
Getting it now. Also, MotoHeroz is $.99

Good way of looking at it. I've had that game on my AppShopper wishlist for a while, waiting for it to go on sale, and though I was intending on getting MvC2, I can't imagine having much fun with it without online multiplayer. I might just do the same and finally pick Mage Gauntlet up.
Do it! It's seriously an awesome game, I had an absolute blast with it.

Anyone have impressions? I've yet to find a snowboarding game on iOS that's actually fun (as opposed to just pretty).

Not sure why you need impressions when it's free
Anyway, I downloaded it and tried a race and it has a terrible framerate (this is on a new ipad) and is extremely unexciting in my opinion.

because I'm at work and wanted to know whether it's worth VPNing into my home computer to download.
And thanks, I'll pass.
Just gotta pimp my studio's game once more since it's free today!
Check it out: http://itunes.apple.com/app/blockolicious-hd/id486343023?mt=8
I know some people got it when it came out, but here's your chance, and we've also fixed some things -
1- It's finally universal, and it supports retina on the new iPad
2- The game mode I designed, Marathon, is now in the game. It's a much slower-paced game mode with no time requirement, which makes it very interesting (imo).
It's free, so you have nothing to lose
And yes, there's IAP, but you *really* don't need to spend a dime on it if you don't want to - all the IAP does is buying coins, but you don't need coins to play at all (they're used to buy powerups and pre-fill them, but you earn coins as you play so it's not a huge deal).

I've been playing quite a lot of this, it's a very decent match 3 game with lovely visuals. Great for free certainly!

For anyone playing Hunters 2, can you tell me if the hourly bonus tokens stick permanently for such things as +10% armour resistance? Do they stick just until the next set on bonus tokens? Or just for the next mission?

Just a quick question.
First, I really like the game a lot. I grabbed it when it first came out (before marathon was out even). And I'm happy with the Universal update, but it seems to be a new release with no update to universal for the original version. So I have the original and now the universal versions on my phone. And everything I unlocked and all the coins I have don't transfer.
Any word on that? Will the original version get an update to universal? Bit of a slap in the face if it doesn't ...
We're looking into something for that, but yeah, that's an issue.
We initially couldn't do a universal version, and part of the problem is that apparently we can't upgrade 2 versions of an app to a single one (that's the last I heard about that, so I don't know more details). Believe me, we're well aware of it. I wish there was more I could say but I'm not directly involved with the ongoing development of the game so I don't know exactly what's going on, but I did bring up that issue and the guys told me they were looking into something.
Sorry

Appreciate the comment. I understand it's easier said than done.
This would be exactly what I'm looking for...if I had an iPad.
It's been around for a while now, but what about Trade Nations?
Get it. Only tower defense (ok, offense) game I really love.
Also, Ballistic has just been released bitchez! http://youtu.be/xTtJGDoOChE
Check it out if you dig Geometry Wars-ish games, it's from the same dev as Super Crossfire which is definitely one of the best retro-ish shooters on iOS.
Worth it and controls pretty well. Also if you have a new iPad the iPhone version it looks decent scaled up, and it's playable there since you can move the controls around a bit.
Not a fan of the whole collection and unlocking setup but it hasn't gotten in the way much, and if you're into that stuff it gives you more stuff to go for.

I wish Telltale would use some AA in their games.
Ballistic SE rocks. It's not as over-the-top as Infinity Field or Beat Hazard Ultra but it's slick and has a unique classy style and feels like it may have the level of excellence as Super Crossfire in terms of very well balanced and polished gameplay with a great difficulty curve.
Looks neat. I'll check it out.
Trade nations is really slow if you don't buy anything, one of the slowest I've tried. I usually only get like 1 or 2 things done a day.
The gadgets are cool...however I would really love iCloud support though.
