Oh, man, if you're talking about Red Alert, then I hear you. It's like they made no effort to make it playable for mobile. Same for Sim City. It was an opportunity for them to make a distilled, focused example of both those genres, but instead they just made a PC game.

Anything but VH1's Pop Up Video!

No. 2 is just looking for love.

I caved and bought Angry Birds a few days ago. I've played the first few levels and so far I'd have to agree with the prevailing opinion that it's not original, but it is polished and does a few things right (star rating for levels).

@Michael McWhertor: Haha, thanks. I assume that your discretion is the final say, then.

@Cruxics: Good info, shopping for a GBA SP.

With so many similar games on the App Store, how do you choose which iOS games to review? Are they ones you found yourself? Did word of mouth or other reviews cause you to pick it up? Do developers or publishers solicit reviews by giving evaluation copies?

@Cruxics: In good condition? With a charger? Any games or accessories?

@bugspray: Top one is The Dig, a Lucasarts PC adventure. The bottom one is Pilotwings64

The first console in our house was my Mom's NES. She bought it to play Castlevania, and we had to ask if we could play on HER system!

@TRAMS_AM: Holiday Island is pretty mellow, too.

I'd like to chillax on Cocytus.

@Richm246: Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty!

I played the OG GTA more than any other. It was like Micro Machines with killing sprees.

@Irishman — AARGH!: I had a Smoke Jumper recently, Left Hand rules!

@El_Godinez: Cheap pitchers of Arrogan Bastard!

I saw one of these with a Ween sticker on the back glass the other day. Two great flavors together at last!

@ne1245: Seconded.

Poor guy had to drive from Agoura Hills to Santa Monica!

Gaterape, not to be confused with "Gatorape", the world's first sports suppository.
