I played TinyTower and I thought it was hateful and horrible. Still can't understand the appeal of freemium games. In better news Ticket to Ride for the iPad now has a pass and play mode for local multiplayer. So it's basically the full £35 boardgame + on line multiplayer for £3.99. It's awesome. |

Oh man, Geodefence is so fucking hard. Is probably my fave tower defence game though. It would be The Creeps but that's got the tilt super weapons which ruin it a bit for me. |

I must have spun those reels a billion times with no luck. I got the ten fully grown plants one easily enough. You have to have them at the same time, and I think they might also have to be 'happy'. The 'all plants' one can fuck right off. I've not even seen most of 'em. |

Exactly the same thing happened in the early 90's when VAT rose from 15% to 17.5%. Remember how game pricing changed? This time Apple absorbed the initial rise instead of producing the odd prices like £3.04 for a £2.99 game as per 1992, but what eventually happened was a £2.99 game became a £3.99 game etc. Same has happened again. |

It's nothing to do with that—it's due to Apple deciding it's had enough of App Store content being priced at an exchange rate close to $2 to £1, which is what the rate was when the iOS store launched. Sterling tanked shortly afterwards, but Apple never changed the pricing. More here. The opposite's happened in Australia, where the currency has massively strengthened of late, putting its prices at almost double what the US ones were. |
