    have you tried to see how the AI responds to torpedo spam? I am curious.
    What you think "makes sense" has nothing to do with reality. It just has to do with your life experience. And your life experience may only be a small smidgen of reality. Possibly even a distorted account of reality at that. So what this means is that, beginning in the 20th century as our means of decoding nature became more and more powerful, we started realizing our common sense is no longer a tool to pass judgment on whether or not a scientific theory is correct. - Neil Degrasse Tyson

    I'm gonna play my first game of Raiders and Relics tonight, with Winky. I am scared.

    No need to be scared.

    Just tell someone where you'll be, and what time to expect you back.

    No because I suck. I was playing the science dudes and by the time I got the plasma torpedoes the game was almost over, I was slow to build up my fleet due to a lack of materials and I had very few solar systems. Wasn't really in a position to test their response.

    Is Torchlight II different enough from Diablo III to be worth $6.79?

    I'd say yes. Though I could not play more than 3 hours of TL2 when it came out - right after 2 months of wasting time on D3.

    Good to see iOS games are moving away from simple mechanics and cow clickers into real gaming territory; this looks rather in depth for something you can play on a tablet or smartphone.

    Sarksus murdered my people in Eclipse.

    It was ugly.

    The iPad, and sometimes the iPhone, has a pretty good selection of boardgames available, Corehealer. They are my favorite games to play on iOS.

    We were running short on time and the game needed to end.

    Those plasma torpedoes are pretty merciless.

    ah, ok. Also sometimes the torpedo tech just never comes out until late game (since its a random draw each turn)

    Isn't that Eclipse?

    It's a boardgame that's had an iOS version released, rather than an iOS game per se.

    its a port of a recent, and quite good, board game.

    Very simple compared to Master of Orion 2 but it's excellent on cardboard.

    games really are one of the strong suits for iOS right now.

    Mind you, android is getting better in this department, but companies who want to charge 5-20 dollars for a thing focus on iOS first because iOS people are far more willing to spend money on premium apps.

    Of course the thing with the physical version of Eclipse is that it requires an enormous table.

    I picked up Ninja Village (by Kairosoft, the Game Dev Story / Dungeon Village people) lately on Android and its quite fun.

    i've been trying to find out if there are any android phone games I should be checking out now that i've moved away from 100% iOS on my devices.
    Yet that is exactly what i see here.

    they are indeed. The only counter I have found to them is enough armor on Cruisers (the middle size ships) to need 5 hits to kill a ship.

    As far as I am aware the big names that are porting boardgames to iOS aren't porting to Android.
