ITS FRIDAY !

[iambored2006]

Looking forward to Bladeslinger and Minecraft! The way you describe Bladeslinger, as an open-world Infinity Blade, is intriguing.

[AppSpy]

@iambored2006 Take note of what I said - I said I'd like to think it will be open-world, but without more details we won't know how the game plays ;)

[rayovacking]

Appspy is awesome :)

[BankaiHalo]

I'm really damn excited that there are more beautiful games coming out for iDevices like Dark Meadow and Bladeslinger. Hopefully the new iPhone that is going to be anounced soon will have 4G, then the iPhone can actually become closer being called a portable gaming console. :D

[ExplodingBogies]

Where is MC3?

[underyourebed]

Andrew! You should review console games! :D

[tejanos2]

How much money do you use on apps a month... Or are you sponsored or something??

[bananaphone1987]

Im still waiting on the second phoenix wright. I heard its on the japanese app store.

[rgGamerfreak69]

There's going to be a game that's like Amnesia the dark descent!? Sweet!

[try2bcool]

It's sad that a worn-out, over-used game type gets game of the week.

Enough with TD games! No more endless runners (or drivers, or upward jumpers) or matching games, or endless twin-stick shooters, or Angry Birds clones either...and developers can stick games with in-app purchases up their asses, also. 

Make a game I haven't played 20 times in the last 30 years already!

[WatchMeSC]

@try2bcool Well then go create something then jesus. You are quite obviously a gamer, which means you have pretty much played everything! So basically create a fucking miracle, on the iPhone at that. Brilliant plan. How about you just learn to enjoy the games that you do have available to you. Or get off your ass and create something yourself.

[WatchMeSC]

@try2bcool If anything I am trolling the original troll. Who thinks his comment is original.

[try2bcool]

@WatchMeSC Sorry, I have to cure cancer and save the souls of a few billion people.  I'll put it on my to-do list, though.

[AppSpy]

@try2bcool So you're never going to play an RPG or an FPS or an Action-RPG or a platformer or.... the list goes on, ever again? :)

[try2bcool]

@AppSpy I believe I listed what I didn't want to play anymore, but yeah, the entire industry is becoming stagnant. It's not just the games industry either, movies, music, and tv are in this rut of, if one thing makes a lot of money, 20 more just like it (but not quite as good) will too. We have to be bombarded with shoddy rehashes and incremental sequels, instead of companies taking their time to create something that is compelling and fresh and full of value.

Anything wrong with wanting that?

[AppSpy]

@try2bcool Not at all, but it shows your relative age when you're complaining about this sort of thing - I'm not saying this as an insult, but rather it's something everyone comes to terms with as you realise how untenable such an idea is. I could trot out the well worn 'everything has been done before' bullshit, but it's exactly that - a load of crap... the real point is that there's a difference between treading old ground for the sake of it and having new ideas - Jelly Defence is the latter.

[try2bcool]

@AppSpy

A: Yes, I'm old, my first new console was Pong.

B: Chess is probably the greatest game ever, that doesn't mean that changing the color or shape of the pieces would make it better, or make me want to play it again. :p

[AppSpy]

@try2bcool Age was the wrong word I was going for; the point was more that the argument is old and weak and takes a lot more space than that of a YouTube comment to truly discuss. There are two main points in play here: 1) There's LOTS of innovation happening, it's just not mainstream for the very reason that it's fringe concepts and ideas 2) Concepts that work are repeated until they hit the 'genre' portion of their life-cycle - it's the same for most media and drives the business backing them

[AppSpy]

@AppSpy Eventually games shift from fringe concepts and in to the mainstream, which is where they're defined, repeated and eventually the tropes that make up the genre appear. Sure we can bemoan the true clones, but binary tower/creep mechanics are at least original enough to make it worthwhile for fans of TDs. If you dislike the genre, that's perfectly fine, but it shouldn't stop others from enjoying it and there's no reason they shouldn't either ;)

[HGRTVONE]

@try2bcool dont worry, soon the young fresh generation that feels the same way as you will come in with fresh ideas for all types of entertainment. just "b cool" and wait awhile.

[AtomicBonzaiTree]

@try2bcool Gosh, I can't tell you how unbelievably spot on you are about everything you said... I feel the exact same way about the entertainment industry and I'm 22. I wish I saw more comments like yours on YouTube...

[jsalais]

Great content!!

[owlman113]

@ElielChen762 Because I would like to play it on the go... :/

[KingBalisong]

Warm gun is coming soon! Im so excited :)

[ElielChen762]

minecraft mobile? wtf? they are already rich why they have to make an app for this?

[iPodManiac1100]

how many levels are in jelly defence it looks fun :)

[appleiphone4kid]

iPhone:the new console

[bigsteamfan]

@appleiphone4kid Not really...

[appleiphone4kid]

@bigsteamfan why?

[bigsteamfan]

@appleiphone4kid Because the screen is tiny, it gets incredibly hot when playing 3D games and my fingers cover up almost 30% of the screen... I got my iPod Touch, thinking the same thing.. mobile console, but in practice it's the shittiest device to game on.. I'd rather have bought a netbook...

[appleiphone4kid]

@bigsteamfan but think about the new graphics the device can handle

[badmonkeyballplayer]

Oh wait,

1:08

You said Bullet Hell while it's actually called Bullet Time

[AppSpy]

@badmonkeyballplayer I'm adding overlays now - I was out all night and didn't have time ;)

[badmonkeyballplayer]
