I work in a call centre and reguarly say "bear with me 2 seconds please"

Said that in my sleep last night

- It recorded my mate farting 6 times

Me and my other half both talk in our sleep, I'm staying over there soon, will have to let it run

Maybe we should have a sleep talk recordings thread?

Haha! Apparently I've said stuff like that in my sleep before... work related things

I set it to record last night when I stayed at my lasses place as we both talk in our sleep... it caught one huge fart and me having one outburst of swearing lol!

Sounds like a good idea to me... although with all the swearing I do it might not be good for me to post them lol

I just got Rage HD. Graphics are very good. It's pretty fun for an on-rails shooter.
An excellent iPhone/iPad show-off game.

Wahey! 3 new chapters added to Resident Evil 4 - downloading now!

It should be a walk in the park though even on hardest, I already have a maxed out Magnum, Chicago Typewriter and Infinite Rocket Launcher.

Reckless Racing is superb. Really shows off the iPhone4 capabilities. Could do with some more levels, but it amazes me that we get this type of quality for just 59p. Games that aren't even 5% of this sell for £20+ on the DS etc!

Im yet to try this out. Does it work on the 3G?

Rage is a bit poo I've read, can be completed in about an hour.

just finished cut the rope.... so good, if a bit easy...

any suggestions as to something similar...

Lego Harry Potter years 1-4 came out this morning for iPhone and iPad.

It's actually really good. Very decent game for a mobile device.

It is universal for iPad too but it requires iOS4.2 which will be out soon-ish

It's £2.99 which is a bargain for this game.

Might give that a whirl tonight, got 4.2.1 on the iPad so should be interesting. You sure it NEEDS 4, and isn't just tested for it?

No, It NEEDS iOS4.2 on iPad. 4.1 is find on iPod Touch and iPhone though.

Read the game description and it does state that 4.2 is needed on iPad.

I've been having a blast playing it yesterday on my phone. It does drain the battery but works really well. I'm just lost in the Forbidden Forest currently. lol

Interesting. Wonder what APIs it's using that are new.

got mirrors edge when it was on sale at 59p a while ago, spent today playing and i am really enjoying it simple controls that make the parkour stuff easy to execute

I played the new Rage HD last night for about 30 minutes and OMG this game is freaking awesome. Controls are just the best ever for a half fps game (this game is a bit like time crisis, house of the dead or normal fps but you only aim as the character walks on its own).

The gfx is the best you can get for an iphone game I think. The game is quite short but you are supposed to play it over and over again for score. 3 levels only I think.

All fps games on iphone are rubbish due to control but this one is just awesome.

We need more games like this one.

Hmmm thinking about it Id love if the Home button was touch sensitive like the PS3 BT mini keyboard which can turn itself into a touchpad. Would be a great idea how to make it a d-pad...

ps3ud0 :cool:

PAC-MAN Championship Edition - picked this yesterday and even though expensive it gives you hours of fun. You really need to check some videos of this game to see how good it is.

Shame there isn't a demo.

Controls aren't the best though.

You get 5 or 6 different control types, and I am sure you can find one that will suit your needs.

I think controls are spot on for an iphone game.

Is there a good free app to see and control my Macbook Pro whilst in the other room?

None are 100% when you get up to higher speeds, they become inaccurate and annoying.
