Currently playing Survival craft and KOTOR, both of which are fantastic.

Also loving the new google maps, although the satellite images seem outdated in my area (vs the website).

Looks great, has a couple of nice features and performance seems to be acceptable.

It would be nice if it had a built-in samba client.

So few iOS apps do for some reason. Quite a shame.

Now I've updated my ipad I can finally get this
The Room
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Room_(2012_video_game)

It's brilliantly simple. A bit like those escape the room games but instead you have to break in to a box. It's the usual fare of buttons, sliding bits, keys, symbols etc but it's really well designed, logical and not stupidly hard.

The Room is free for a limited period.
Fabulous puzzler if you haven't tried it before.

Thanks for the heads up. I've heard many good things about it. Must have made it free because they want people to buy The Room II which has just come out.

The Room reminds me a lot of Myst and Riven with all these contraptions. It was a good move because I'm definitely getting the sequel now.

Has that been tarted up with improved textures and what have you or does it look a bit naff? I suppose it should be the Anniversary edition really.

Naff. It's a cheap and cheerful 69p port.

Anyone else tried "Coast" browser?
Just came across it in an article and trying now. Quite a nice layout and a slightly different take on browser layouts.
Worth a try if you haven't.

Radiation Island is just 79p at the moment.

If you like open word survival and crafting then grab this, one of the best games on IOS and no in-app purchases.
