untalented developers just copycatting every game instead of developing their own unique games. this type of developers is what ruins the game industry in my opinion

Gameloft is like #1 developer/publisher in mobile gaming, and one of my favorites (others are Glu for Ancient Empires and RedLynx for High Seize / Reset Generation). And I don't care whether some of their titles are rip-off or not as long as they bring quality to the table and the best of the breed without overshooting my portable entertainment needs.

So, Gameloft definitely means value to lots of their customers (just like me), therefore please stop calling them untalented. It's the type of developers which think too much genius of themselves to develop a game with truly mass appeal and are too cocky for truly mass devices (going all weirdo and 1337 instead) which actually destroys the industry.


Yes, so Bungie was REEEEAAALL talented with ODST, gratz on your 60$ + expansion. It's a game for an iPhone at that, not even for a console. That in itself is an achievement. Outside of Halo: CE and Halo3, Bungie hasn't done much to wow. Also a talented dev would be able to crossover into other great games, which Bungie used to do...anyone remember ONI? Even $quenix (known before as squaresoft) was able to make one of the best shmups of all time Einhander. Just cuz Bungie makes an FPS which reeks of milked genre (not Bungie's fault, it's M$'s fault for forcing them), doesn't show that they are super talented as they are painted to be. Furthermore halo is nothing new. CE was successful because all it did was make a good button schematic for consoles, but one could argue that Halo is a ripoff of Doom meets starship troopers with an iconic hero that attracts the masses, both core gamers and fanboys alike.



Make games, not war (that goes for ridiculous fanboys)

I may be the next Maelstorm or not, you be the judge http://videogamesgrow.blogspot.com/  hopefully I can be more of an asset than a fanboy to VGC hehe.

It actually looks quite good for a iphone game !

I am so gonna get this xD

Is everyone going to say that it looks like a Wii game since no one has been banned for it?

Awesome!!!

Why are people so sensitive on this website? I've never seen anything quite like it.

It's just that I've heard 9 million things about the Wii's "poor" graphics on this site.

It gets as tiresome as the 360 always gets the red rings of death and the PS3 is way too expensive comments.

Ignoring the fact that it "copies Halo" (like quite a few games), more surprisingly, it actually looks very good. iPhone FPS aren't very common.

I understand that it can be annoying, I went through the same thing when Xbox and GC fanboys would abuse the PS2 for its inferior graphics. But is it really the type of thing that should get someone banned? Nobody said anything bad about the Wii, if anything people probably think it looks too good to be an iphone game.

 

Should people get banned for trolling the iphone? What if PS3 fans want people to get banned for confusing PS3 games for 360 games? I think it's just taking it a tad too far.

Ok guys i just purchased NOVA i was laughing at it at first but through your comments i realized that is a grand game...
and it is! i dont have words to explain how amazing the game is! (IGN action iphone game of the year too)
what is shocking is the control scheme that beats the ds/psp (for fps) easily and with controls like that i would dare to say that physical buttons
are not smth that important for the idevices.
Now im going to play some more :)))))
btw the game is a complete Halo copy more than the video in youtube shows haha
A++

what control scheme do you use? The default, or the superior (imo) drag & tap one?

I need this. - The Gaming PC and PS4, and Xbox 360, and thePS3's . Well what are you looking at? What do you think I'm some kind of a jerk or something! - And this. That's all I need.

Debating on whether to get this. I grew to like Eliminate. Im level 24 in that game. But its getting old. How does this game compare?
