I've been addicted to Tiny Tower on my phone. 42floors now. love that game. i'm at 94 floors now! What are you guys' GameCentre IDs? I'm still petitetoilonrouge (and at 180 floors...). If you like Tiny Tower, you should check out Pocket Planes, NB's new game. A bit more strategy, even though you still can't lose... Oh, and if you have a PS3, you -have- to get Journey. It's amazing. It's moving. It's one of the best games I've played ever. Definitely an Art Game. Finally, I don't know if it's still up, but you also -have- to get Humble Bundle V, which includes Limbo, Superbrothers: Sword and Sorcery, Braid, Super Meat Boy and a few others for however much you want to give. You get the soundtracks too! And you can choose for part of the money to go to charity! Ain't it perfect?

Re: Which Video Games Are You Currently Playing?
Pocket planes is fun other then the fact it somehow glitched and linked my wife's game on my phone...i lost all my progress..but somehow in the glitch it gave me 250bucks! So my wife was surprised when she woke up and I had bought a helicopter and 4person plane.

I'm going to be dead by the time I "finish" this game. And funny you brought up Journey! I just had a "indie gaming" weekend. I played through Journey, in one sitting, and was blown away. I think it might have gotten a place in my top 10 games of all time! The graphics, the mood, the music, the atmosphere and, well, the "journey" was just jaw-dropping outstanding and incredible. Love it all. It reminded me of Shadow of the Colossus with Flower. And the last act was mind-blowing. Love, love love. Then I played Limbo. I was mixed. Love the art stye, but thought the game was 30mins to long and the repetitive dying got a bit tiring. Neat game, but no Journey. Then I watched Indie Gaming The Movie. GREAT documentary, with a good insight on the struggle of making an indie game, and now I want to play Super Meat Boy and Braid!

Re: Which Video Games Are You Currently Playing?
Just recently got all 300 of my bitizens 9 rating in dream jobs, so as of now the tower is complete. I'm trying to get sucked into Pocket Planes but I don't have that same compulsive neurosis as Tiny Tower. Is dream height the Zygna rip-off? Zygna needs to be sued into oblivion, unfortunately the companies whose properties are being stolen are microscopic in comparison to Zyngas bankroll. petitetoilonrouge wrote: Lalo wrote: 180 floors!!!

deadboy wrote: I'm trying to get sucked into Pocket Planes but I don't have that same compulsive neurosis as Tiny Tower. I agree. It actually feels more like "playing" than TT, so it requires a bit more time every session... deadboy wrote: Is dream height the Zygna rip-off? Zygna needs to be sued into oblivion, unfortunately the companies whose properties are being stolen are microscopic in comparison to Zyngas bankroll. It is. I refused playing it for a long time, but then I bent my ethics and thought "if I don't give them any money...". I don't know why they don't/didn't sue them though. Someone here works for Zynga, maybe he knows more? Still, apparently TT itself was also copied on something else...

Re: Which Video Games Are You Currently Playing?
been cracking out on pokemon conquest, it's the first time in years I've picked up a pokemon game as they have become stale to say the least, this one is a breath of fresh air, a pretty solid tactics game with a handful of simulation type location growth/mining elements, also I was afraid the play factor other than 2 player would be dead after beating the initial storyline not so much any fan of the poke world or tactics games should try it out, definately a solid purchase for the price

However there is a gulf between TT and SimTower. Lots of improvements were made, the game was sped up, the controls were re-worked for iOS, cartoony characters introduced, etc. Zynga brought nothing new to the table and pretty much cloned TT. Mark Pincus is lame as hell.

Oh he brought something new: you could play TT for free, whereas there is no way to get "bucks" without buying them in DH, and it's night impossible to buy anything with hearts. I mean, just to get the third elevator in DH would cost you $4! The fourth $6.50 and the fifth is $10. So they want you to pay $20 for minor upgrades on a phone game. Seriously?

Re: Which Video Games Are You Currently Playing?
I'm trying to play through all the 'great' SNES games. On Earthbound right now. I hop back on Steam every so often for Binding of Isaac.

Re: Which Video Games Are You Currently Playing?
Got Lollipop Chainsaw because I love Grasshopper. It's exactly what I wanted, mindless fun, chainsaws, and an over the top story involving a cheerleading zombie killer.

Before this I beat Super Mario RPG and thought that was just great, but this, man Earthbound is in another league. I can't put my finger on why I like this game so much, I just know that I do. A lot.

Same here, just quickly tried it though as I'm finishing off Batman AC and just started Dragon's Dogma. Looks pretty good and fun, really like the Rockin' Jelly Bean look and feel

Re: Which Video Games Are You Currently Playing?
Man, I've been meaning to pick up that game. Good to see some other Grasshopper fans on here. On of my favorite game developers (Next to Kojima Productions). Killer7 being one of my favorites, and No More Heroes a runner-up (I still need to play NMH2!), I have to say I've been disappointed lately in Suda51's games. Shadows of the Damned was alright, felt like more of a chore sometimes. Had some great concepts, but too long and shallow, and annoying enemies. And I feel like Lollipop will be the same way. BUT, at the same time, I still love his games. Its like, even his bad games are good? Haha

Re: Which Video Games Are You Currently Playing?
No More Heroes was one of my favorite games ever. No More Heroes 2 made me a sad panda. Killer 7 I hated the first time I played it and then it just clicked like whoa, and I've been a Suda fan ever since.

So bizarre, taboo and badass. Ending was a mindf*** too! No More Heroes was like Suda's Kill Bill. Everything in it and was awesome. Great ending also. Fourth wall breaking to the max!
