Chrono Trigger was one of those games that I just never got into. I've been meaning to give it another shot, but if I do, I think I'll play the DS version.

BTW, anyone know when that Lunar port is coming?

Funny, it's one of the few JRPGs I've managed to sit all the way through. Won't be getting the App Store version, though, as we already have both the DS port and the SNES original.

One of my favourite games of all time, an absolute masterpiece. Really surprising that mel hasn't played it knowing his tastes.

Aaaanyway, tonight is a great night for iOS

Grand Theft Auto III
Sonic CD
Marathon 2
Venture Towns (new Kairosoft sim)
Bug Princess (new CAVE bullet-hell shooter)
Ice Rage (ice hockey game from the team behind Minigore)

Oh wow, GTA3 says it will work on iPhone 4 and iPad 1. Originally, Rockstar said it would initially only work on 4S and iPad 2.

AND Sonic CD is only $2!

Sonic CD is amazing. I love the fact some guy went and pissed on Sega's crappy iPhone emulator with his own fan-port then instead of C&Ding him they hired him instead. The controls set a new bar for virtual d-pads IMO and $2 is a ridiculous price.

GTA3 is alright. The screen is cluttered with buttons but I guess that was unavoidable, plus at least you can fiddle with them a lot. The whole game too...on a phone, is hard to turn your nose up at. For me it's more one of those benchmark games though. I'm buying into it more in the hope that Apple will release their own joypad extension or something in the future and I can get myself a nice $5-$10 of San Andreas on my phone.

I'm getting GTA for the iPad. It's just not a game that is really meant for a small screen.

It is really amazing that GTA3 can be played on a phone. I mean, when this game came out I would almost never believe that a phone would be able to play it. I'll probably grab it for the ipad though.
