Well Simon ironically I was the other way around. I was interested in the
Iphone mostly for playing games when i heard about games like king of
dragon pass, which is one reason I like the variety of games available. I've
sinse found some other things the Iphone is good for as well, for example I
now find it a handy device for music and books once I found a way around
silly Apple's folder structure with Itunes, however games was what I was
first interested in and generally i haven't been disappointed, and I agree
it's great for train journies (I played through most of zombi exidous
last week on a train).
Regarding turning vo off I've never had any issues with that myself, and
it'd be a shame to miss out on games like papasangre, codename cygnas or
sixth sense. Btw, I'm dark tenor on game center if you want to add me.
The only thing that slightly irritates me with the Iphone and games, is
that where on a pc it was reasonably easy to predict when looking over games
what would and would not be accessible, on the iphone there are many games
and game types that should! be accessible but for some reason aren't. I'm
talking about things like text adventures, gamebooks and textual rpgs.
Indeed it sort of irritates me that though there are innumerable gamebooks
on the Iphone and people like tinman games producing more of them, none of
these are accessible, or at least they weren't when I tried them which just
seems insane and unfortunately I don't know what it is that means the text
of say a gamebook is inaccessible to vo since while it's relatively easy
to tel a developer "hay those buttons aren't labeled" there is often no
logical reason I can see why text doesn't display properly, after all it's
not as if the text in say the tinman gamebooks is graphical emulated on
screen stuff.
Apart from that though I'm really liking the Iphone and the games
situation on it is just getting better.
Beware the grue!
Dark.
