There's a baby in my QL. Lol. I've never played Infinity Blade. Maaaaaaybe I should. The only iPad game I've ever played is Swords and Sworcery.

Haven't played this in a while. The new mode looks sort of cool, but what I really want is some new single-player content.

Oh, you mean 'Donald's Mustard'? Yeh, I LOVE the direction they're taking dream pop!

This seems mad imbalanced. Hard swings doesn't cover it. In MK, to go from like 5% health vs 30% health to 5% health vs 0% health, you have to pull off a pretty serious combo. Here, it seems like one lucky hit is enough to do that. It's hard to tell because that guy is clearly actually familiar with the game, vs Will having very little information.

I've heard a lot of talk about Infinity Blade, but this is the first time I've seen it in action and I have to say that I'm not impressed. It looks very dull and slow and doesn't seem like it would be all that much fun to play.

@Soapy86: I played it for a bit on my friends iPad.

It wasn't that bad. Definitely one of the better iOS games I've played (take that for what little it's worth :P).

Question for people who have this game:


Is this game just as playable on the iPhone compared to the iPad?

This looks interesting to me, though. I might buy it on my old iPhone.

I can understand why this video is on Giant Bomb even though it's an iOS game, since this is a game by Chair. However, this just leaves me wanting for them to be making another Shadow Complex instead. I got over the magic of touch screen games after numerous hours of Angry Birds.

Just picked this up - it's the Punchout RPG. Surprisingly fun!

Edit: just realized how little content is in this. Yep, its an iOS game.

If Apple manages to run Nintendo & Sony out of town it will be a sad fucking day.

Hey, what's all this about? The iPhone is actually a pretty decent game platform. Tons of great indie stuff, most of it for under three bucks.

@RuneseekerMireille: I just got an iphone 3g and I remember reading somewhere that it's not so good on the 3g. I decided to get it anyway to try it out and it's pretty much fine. Sometimes loading seems slow, but I don't know if that is the game because I don't have anything to compare it to.

I've also seen some frame rate slow down when it came to some of the cut scenes, but it never happened when I was dueling. With it being on sale at the moment I would say it's most definitely worth it.

They do one freaking quick look and you people act like this is what they are going to dedicate their coverage to now. Stop being stupid. Infinity Blade is a Punch-Out RPG, so I think it fits quite well with this website, which apparently has some sort of "cool club" that iPad games can't be apart of.

Seriously what the hell is up with this hate? The game is published by friggin' Epic. It's an awesome game. You can't just immediately judge it as bad because it's on iOS. 

Guys, it's Punch-Out with swords. It doesn't get much more awesome than that.

a) It's Chair, they've made amazing games in the past and their work warrants a Quick Look regardless of platform.
b) The guy who is showing off the game has been to the office before and is likely a friend of the staff.  It is invaluable that they keep friendly relationships with developers to ensure that they can get the coverage that they couldn't otherwise buy (as a larger site might be able to).
c) It's a Quick Look EX.  What this tells me is that they were only able to capture the footage because Chair brought the proper equipment with them (i.e.: don't expect to see too many iPad Quick Looks).
d) Don't be a dick.  Just because you're not used to something doesn't make it bad.  Like it or not games are becoming more mainstream and the guys will have to give the occasional look at these games if they wish to be a relevant video game website.

this looks good for an iphone game, but there are so many great games to play on other platforms right now.
iPhone games are still crap in comparison.
