That looks fun. I have to be careful to avoid buying a bunch of games I don't have time to play. Made that mistake years ago w/Playstation.

Interesting product decision. They knew you could game the “scoreboard” easily, but didn't care. That's probably why they went ahead with it, to encourage Twitter bragging about the game. Smart.

Fieldrunners is turning out to be like Flight Control. Early success is difficult to achieve consistently. They must build in a softball round when you first start playing to get you hooked. Game design would be fun.

Heh, yeah. Fieldrunners was one of my fave games. If you like it, you'll love StarDefense, a 3D tower defense game. See if you can beat my all-Twitter high score of 72 waves on Rydhon!

You can enable the game to post your scores to Twitter, which serves as a rudimentary scoreboard on Twitter if you search for 'Rydhon.' The funny thing is that nothing stops you from manually post the score on TweetDeck as well. Heh, so for shits and giggles I posted an impossible score of 124 waves which showed up in the in-game challenge log.

Looks tough, but the price is right If only I'd done this research before I had jury duty. I guess I could stockpile for my next trip on a plane or to the DMV.

Boredom. There's an app for that.

I highly recommend Dr. Awesome. Other ngmoco games are also well done and engaging, but Dr. Awesome got its hooks in deepest.

Wow, I'm late to the iPhone for games party. Those sound fun. See my update about Fieldrunners if you want another fun one.
