Superbrothers: Sword and Sorcery EP
I love my iPad but the one thing that the whole iOS platform is really lacking are good, immersive, involving video games. Angry Birds is fun and being able to play Carcassone anywhere is awesome, but none of these deliver the sort of experience even the original Nintendo’s franchise games offer.
But Superbrothers looks different. And it comes out tomorrow.
Based on the reports from people who have played previews, this game is to the iPad what the original Zelda was to Nintendo. So here’s hoping it’s half as great as everyone says it is. I’ll post my thoughts on it tomorrow after playing a bit.

I watched the little video for it, and I swear that the first thing I thought of was King’s Quest.
I think that’s part of the intent. The art-style is definitely Sierra-meets-2011.
Was thinking the same thing, Jeff. Hadn’t heard about this, but very excited.
Why can’t these games be made co-op? Is it that hard? I guess it is.
But there’s no game I would love more than a Zelda-NES-style game that I can play with my friends.

You mean Gauntlet?
Been waiting for this since it was announced last year. Can’t wait to pick it up!
Yes like Gauntlet! Or Secret of Mana!
I don’t want to play multiplayer shoot-em-ups. I want something with some meaning and story.
That reminds me though, we’ve never truly sessioned on Super Mario Brothers Wii have we? (Not that that’s very “meaty” or anything, but it is different).

Or Secret of Evermore.

Sam and I played through the whole game, but that was before you were down here. I have Donkey Kong Wii, though, which I hear is even better. I wouldn’t know cause I still haven’t played it despite having owned it for months now.
got the megatome and we are the smartest.. just sayin’
Wow, only $5. I thought for sure they’d charge more considering all the hype surrounding it.
Bought it as soon as it became available last night (11pm) but still haven’t had a chance to play it. If the game is as good as that first video they released for it $4.99 will be a steal.
Also, Final Fantasy III is available for the iPhone today and to celebrate Square Enix is having a sale in the app store.

Eh, I don’t care too much about FF until IV. I got really excited when they first said III cause I thought they meant the American III (VI).
I never played any of them but figured someone here might enjoy that news. I wish they would make iPad versions..
I bought this last night and played the first level. As a non-gamer, I find this ipad entertainment experience to be . . . awesome.
