Remember that “Citadel” Unreal tech demo on the iPhone a while ago?
Well the game using those graphics has been released.

Infinity Blade, and it’s really quite pretty:

If you are into first-person sword-based fights with a bit of rpg levelling thrown in then buy this immediately!

Sorry Angry Birds Seasons is were it’s at. Seriously that looks really good.

Look nicer than RageHD?

It’s quite short – basically you play repeating generations returning to the same castle to try and defeat the “God King” – but the swordplay is pretty compelling and more levels plus multiplayer are on their way.

The Christmas version of Angry Birds is a bit rubbish IMO.

What else is out there that’s recent and good?

(appreciate the game that G is taking about is probably good but it’s not really my thing)

ooooo!

OK, it’s not “recent” infact it’s very old.. but the reworked monkey Island 2 on ipad is *excellent*.

Lego Harry Potter on the iPad seems to be consuming far too much of my time recently

(appreciate the game that G is taking about is probably good but it’s not really my thing)

It won’t be everyone’s cup of tea, but you’ve got to love the graphics:

Those are in-game graphics, not a prerendered cut scene!

I don’t like swordy stuff though 🙁

They have axes too? 😉

Birds in catapults? Any of those?

Take it you’ve tried “Cut The Rope”? (I just got 3 stars on all the Cosmic Box levels the other day).

For something a bit different try PicGrid (there is a Lite version)

Just started Cosmic Box. 3 stars everywhere else though. Yeah!!

I’ve been playing Pocket Legends on Android recently – it’s out on iPhone too. It’s like World of Warcraft in your pocket.

I hate ‘rat on a skateboard’ it’s absoulte rubbish but I can’t stop trying to beat my score. I like ‘high noon’ and ‘real racing’ but I soon got bored of the latter.

That really is quite good.

For anyone that is playing it: I got to the alternate ending with my 3rd Bloodline.
But I’m still a way off being able to kill the git.

Update: Not sure if anyone else is playing this (hint: you should be!) but they just put out a new update today: new weapons and armour, plus a new opponent and a festive Santa helm! Multiplayer has been promised fir the new year sometime.

I did try it, but not my sort of thing.

*goes back to trainyard*

Dammed good on the Fondle Slab as you can do all the sword swipe combo’s in one corner of the screen and see all of the action.

Pretty much where you are GrahamS. It’s a fun distraction.
