Yeah, I'm messing around with WoT too...it's pretty cool, but I feel like I'm in way over my head. So many different parts, so many different currencies...I have no idea what I'm doing. It's an interesting game, so many things that don't make a difference in other games are a HUGE deal here, like turning speed, the angle your tank is at on the terrain and so forth.

I decided to just go with Soviet tanks, not even messing with the others. I've had a couple of pretty exciting matches, pulling off some total bullshit manuevers...flanking around the opposition and blasting from behind, falling down a hill and taking a random potshot that just happened to blow up a Panzer right next to me, etc.

It's a lot like Steel Diver, actually...but more complex by far.

I stopped only playing Hearthstone and started only playing Dream Quest.

It took me ~infinity deaths to win once and then maybe 10 more to win an additional two times. I think the biggest disservice the art does is it made me think it was a light fluffy game where actually it has a seriously steep learning curve, and it's a different curve for each class. And most classes have at least two types of decks they can build, sometimes more hybrid ones as well, which make the decisions on which cards to buy and which to skip even better.

Fantastic game, easily the best I've played in quite a while.

Also playing Botanicula with my wife after kid's bedtime. Super cute straightforward adventure game. The sound effects are someone's voice going "buzz" and "boing!" and are fantastic.

I had to do a double take here. Why would you deny your children such a glorious kids game as Botamicula?

Yeah, we'll probably try it with her a bit after we finish. The beginning is super cute but she is super ooper sensitive and there's some funky shit with the spiders as the game goes on. Still, worth a shot.

Blood Bowl seems pretty good so far.

Alert! Alert! Guardians of the Galaxy is really good AND can be played offline and NO inapp purchases at all.

It's all in the game, man

Not what you would expect for a movie tie in for $5 well spent.

I'm on a roll in Samurai lately. Unstoppable. It suddenly clicked how strategically tying pieces is an undervalued tactic.

so i bought the Blood Bowl app. I've never played blood bowl. I'm really bad at it. there are definetely some annoyances with the app. most everything has hover text (or tap and hold text) which is great. except that the hovertext shows up underneath the icon instead of above...which is right where you hand is. blech.

If someone wants to try the new Civilization Revolution II app and tell us how it is, that would be awesome :)

I haven't noticed the hover text at all actually, but I'm already familiar with Cyanide's version, so learning the system wasn't that hard for me. I highly recommended turning on the option that shows the opposition's tackle zones though.

well its espcially bad for me, as I'm not used to Blood Bowl digital or tabletop. so every little thing needs to be explained. like what the die faces mean, since you are choosing those regularity.

I may need to download the Living rulebook to learn how to play the app

inkle's latest, 80 days, is really nice if you like gamebook-y sort of things. Here the game is, go around the world in 80 days (based on the novel). Lots of good writing on the way though, and as far as I can tell some of the best parts are for areas of the world you would never go to if you were actually trying to accomplish the goal.

World is a steampunky version of our own, so if you hate steampunk, you might think twice.

Yes, you definitely need to read the rulebook to learn how to play. I skipped the tutorial so I'm not sure what all it covers, but rulebook is a must read.

There's a single player vs AI trick taking game just released called Cahoots! The designer gave me a promo code (it's only a buck anyhow) and it's not bad; I'd kind of like to make an analog version. I wrote about it here .

Just read over on Pocket Tactics that the Pathfinder Adventure Card Game is coming to iOS. That could be a great fit for the platform.

Anybody ever play the Naval Tactics app? Either this game is brutally hard, or I am just fucking terrible at it. Or possibly both.
