1. Stellar Wars. This one's probably going back to full price soonest. This is one of those kitchen sink games. It's gone lane defense stuff. It's got space shooter stuff. It's got mining and resource management. And it's got a goofy space plotline. Somehow, it works.

2. Modern Command. It's a new Free-to-Play from Chillingo, but the gameplay's good enough to make it worth my time. You have to defend your base from various troop assaults using only missiles and guns you upgrade at a central base (so no towers like in a TD game). The FTP stuff involves timers on the research tree and weapons that need time off every few missions, but since I tend to only play iOS games for twenty or thirty minutes at a time, that doesn't bother me.

3. Flick Champions: Winter. Another Chillingo one (a price drop this time, not FTP out of the gate). Cute little winter sports events and games.

4. Spell Quest. A cute word and spelling game. Some FTP elements, but nothing that's bothered me so far.

What is FTP and why is it bothersome?

I've had dungeon keeper for a few days now. I'm juuust about to the point where it's "make 5 taps, then put game away again for 6 hours".

Annnnd I've reached that point. Except the "resources" fill every hour and so I'd have to log in every hour to maximize those, but since it's "wait 5 minutes for the app to log into EA servers, then take 5 seconds to make 4 taps and close out again" I'm almost to the point of being bored with it.

So, about 2 weeks of on-off play, unless you absolutely love Dungeon Keeper and/or tower defense games/resource clickers, and it's a very weak tower defense game at that.

Yeah. I'm still tapping. Not quite to the point of deleting it yet. We'll see.

Longform update:

Still playing, very casual. 5-10 minutes whenever I think to play, 1-5 times a day.

There's a plateau for resources, then it climbs up faster again as you expand them, then plateau and such.

It's not a "glued to the ipad addiction" game, but it's steady.
