Why do they keep using Infinity Blade as an example? It is a terrible example of a "console sized game".

Seriously, all you do is jump from one battle to the next, swiping your finger to attack or tapping on on screen button to dodge or block. You do this over the course of maybe a donzen battles and you can easily complete a playthrough in under an hour. Without factoring in DLC you can finish a playthrough in around a half hour.

After that the game just bumps you back to the beginning and you get to do it all over again while upgrading the weapons and armor you have.


The fact that it keeps getting compared, or even that sites like 1UP say it gives off a "Dark Souls vibe" is embarassing. They are nothing alike.

Let's not even get into the control issues with GTA III on a tablet or phone.

It is almost as if the journalists who are supposed to represent us, the gamers, are the ones trying to destroy our favorite past time. There is a place forall types of games, but they need to stop with this thought process that Apple devices = All the answers.

Good looks like era of 1$ iphone crappy games is going to end soon with such escalation of development costs :)

CoD: Art of Touch.  Become the ultimate FPS God by simply touching all the baddies on the screen!  Suck at sniping?  Oops, I mean quickscoping.  No worries! All you need to do is tap!

And the media will be captivated and declare that a new era of highly competitive online shooters has begun!
