Welcome to iHandy, where we talk about games on the iOS platform. I figured I would attempt to be clever while being equally perverse in the process. Get it? Good. I'm almost becoming just as vehement a supporter of the app store as John Carmack. His quote from the telegraph speaks volumes.
You don’t have to cut deals with publishers,” he says. “It’s almost completely egalitarian on there. It’s great to see all the small teams that wind up making these breakout hit games for the Apple devices. The fact is; on this platform, we can go ahead deal with fifteen-a-day feedback on there and directly interact with the consumers, make changes and get things out.” John Carmack interview with Telegraph
The Apple app store is the standard for delivering affordable and digestible gaming experiences to the palms of our hands. As of right now, the app store provides an opportunity for developers to deliver their product with minimal cost and potential for maximizing profits. Over the past year we have seen larger publishers and development studios get involved such as Id Software with Rage HD, and now Epic Games with its action RPG title Infinity Blade. It's a unique and visually impressive title that offers quite a bit for a mere $5.99. Infinity Blade is damn near perfect, however, its repetitive nature hinders it in some ways.
