    Man, I haven't been on my iPod since forever because of my schedule :p But today I managed to pick up a 15 $ iTunes on my way home. I've done a bit of digging here and there and came up with Splinter Cell at 99 and Queen's Crown also... Any advice on what to get with the rest of it? New games please or price drops ;D Already have like Aralon and that stuff<<(what stuff?? who knows)

    Highborn is well worth it but although I haven't played it yet Battle For Wesnoth has more content. If you like strategy games get them both; either one would leave you well off.

    Yeah, I checked both reviews and apparently they both have 30 hours of gameplay o_o. I'm thinking HP might be a little genuine, it being not a grindy JRPG.

    Both are fun games but if I had to choose between the two, it'd have to be Crimson Gem Saga. It's an amazing RPG with awesome skill trees for awesome characters.

    Honestly, I didn't have to grind too much in that game. You do have to grind for a bit in the early stages but after that, it's not too hard and it's actually fun.

    Well, I liked the game, but it has very lack-luster combat and even with limited ability to avoid it, you are fighting all the time.

    Skill trees... too bad that most of the skills are pretty useless (de-buffs rarely ever hit and buffs are mainly allocated to slow characters who almost never get to use them) and that low-agility characters seldom get to contribute unless you go out of your way to allow for it. In practice, you'll be just using the 1-2 signature skills of quicker characters... over and over and over.

    I am also not fond of the combination between intentionally very confusing big dungeons, monster respawn and the ambush mechanic, but that may be personal preference.

    Don't get me wrong - Crimson Gem Saga has amazing production values for an iOS game (PSP port, I know), tons of content and a decent story, but it does also have some significant flaws, IMHO.

    I don't have Lego HP, so can#t say anything about it.
