    Lol, well Nova 2 is there..and I thought that was better overall, especially the multiplayer. I didn't think Puzzle Agent was that amazing. Sure, the story was great, but I didn't find the puzzles to be too fun. It only lasted two hours in any case, meh. Not a big fan of point and click adventures. Phoenix Wright is the only game in the genre that I like, and it's not really even a point and click adventure, lol. Don't worry, I played the hell out of Plants vs Zombies when it first came out. It's one of the easiest games to play under your binder/book at school, heheh. The list is my top 50 though.

    You thought Nova 2 was better? hmm. I thought it was worse. Some of the levels were actually boring to me. The only levels I remember that I liked were the final boss and the one where you had to build those tower defense like guns. But I agree with PW and PvZ.

    You might also want to make your criteria a bit more specific.
    I'll be including all my fav action adv side scrolling games here:
    Third blade (if you don't mind the grind)
    Sonic 4 Ep 1 (a sin if you don't like speed)
    Chopper 2 (couldn't help to leave this out. After all, it scrolls sideways :D)
    X-MEN (the story is EPICALLY cheesy... LOL! Dunno if this is in store though. It's pulled from Aus store)

    Oh and btw is Puzzle Quest 2 worth getting now? 50% off sounds good to me... I remember a discussion between PQ2 and Dungeon *something some pages back but I prefer some personalized service :D. Can someone compare it to PQ 1 (the original)? I played it on DS and loved it.

    Yes. PQ2 is a steal at it's current sale. You'll get a ton of content and replayability from it. They're both good to have to be honest. The only real gripe I had in comparison was in chp1/2 you get more character classes(big fan of the Bard) for campaign, but #2 is still a solid game in it's own right.

    Well, actually, neither campaign were very memorable to me. FPS are all about the multiplayer for me so yeah..Nova 2 definitely wins in that category. I really liked the tower defense levels as well. Very creative level design. I found it funny that half the posts I found in the Nova 2 thread and on iTunes are about how the last level/boss are impossible to beat..can't say it took more than 10 minutes for me. But yeah, online multiplayer is always a big thing for me, heh.

    Just surprised that's all... Got the game over Dungeon Raid for better graphics and production value.

    Last boss in Nova 2 sorta stumped me as well. But once I read someone say
    use the mines
    , I beat it instantly. Campaign wise, I actually thought the original Nova was better, although the final boss was sort of a letdown.

    It's actually 919.4 MB once you install it on your iPod, but um, okay?..
    Lol, yeah, I wasn't expecting the boss to die after mining it just once...the fight lasted like 2 minutes, if even. The only thing I liked about the first one was that charging plasma gun. That thing was pretty boss. The boss was a retard..some UFO thing that aims at everything but you, haha. It was a really good game for its time though. Not too many games at the time could compare.

    That is also one of the reasons I chose Nova over Nova 2 for the list. At the time, absolutely nothing matched it in terms of graphics and gameplay. When Nova 2 came out, it didn't have anything that gave it an edge over the other shooters.

    I just gained another reason to drop math as a subject.
    PQ2: 576mb in app description. 1.22 GIGS on iPhone 4.
    RAGE HD: 744mb app description. 1.18 G on iphone.
    One of the most extreme cases in size increase is Epic War TD ~80mb in app description and 374mb on device.

    Seriously?! Can someone explain this massive file size increase to me?

    Puzzle Agent

    @Crex: I've almost grabbed Puzzle Agent a couple of times, but each time I stumble on this review from AppSpy, which puts me off. Do you disagree with his comments?

    Guess it was the wrong time to ask for game suggestions?

    I definitely recommend you grab it. A few puzzles can be hard but they shouldn't get to the point where it becomes frustrating. The graphics aren't the best, but i don't think it needs to be the way the art is drawn. You kinda have to see it for yourself. If I were to rate it, I would give it a 5/5 for amazing gameplay and art!

    Puzzle Agent!!! :D

    I like the original Hook Champ the best, but I don't think it's better than any of the ones on my top 50.
    Number 35 and 20?..
