App Store finally coming up with decent stuff
Forthcoming on the Apple App Store: a genuinely useful, not-nerfed, not-fiddly, reasonably-priced file sharing app (Briefcase) which adds the ability to do iPhone-to-iPhone file transfers, and one of the best handheld games I’ve ever played.
Puzzle Quest in particular is significant. I got totally hooked on this on the DS last year, it gobbled up over fifty hours of my life — longer than I spent on any other game in 2007 except for Oblivion. It’s not even all that good when you take it apart (the writing is terribly hackneyed, the game balance hopelessly broken to the point where I was getting near instant kills towards the end) — but somehow, it is just, well, digital crack. And given how the game works it should play really well on the iPhone’s touch screen interface.
I won’t be buying it on iPhone. I can’t afford to go through that again. For god’s sake, I was having Puzzle Quest dreams towards the end, where I would awake sweating and shaking, trying to just match four more gems. But I recommend you do! In fact, I echo the comment on Kotaku by NaeemTHM:
EXCELLENT! Puzzle Quest in meetings, on the bowl, while my wife is talking, at funerals, during sex, while playing Puzzle Quest on Xbox Live, and on the drive to work?
Hell yes.
