I agree that the more pricey games should have demos, so we can test the controls etc. With in-App-purchase now, why not break a $10 10 level game into 10 parts at $1 a piece? Just a stupid idea, then Belichick The Genius could happily pay $5 for half of the game.

Ravensword looks quite promising, one does wonder how many hours of play it will give. At 65Mb then it must have at least a few hours of game time.

Flash will compile flash games for iphone natively.

A good RPG is NEVER long enough.

Web + email + texting + talking + apps + games = one hell of a quickly depleted battery…

Somehow i doubt this is a very long game though.

$7 is less than a game rental at blockbuster, or a movie ticket. So for the amount of entertainment you get from the game, its easy to rationalize the cost. I think their price point is right on.

When Flash CS5 comes out we’ll see more compeition for game prices.

Also, if you look at games for other platforms of similar quality, I think you’ll find that 9.99 is VERY inexpensive for a quality game. I don’t know where this entitlement to having everything under $5 has come from. If you want quality, you have to expect to pay for it.

Fact is, you dont want to spend money on games, fine, but dont try and make yourself feel better for your cheapness by telling us we are foolish.

Can’t wait to dl this game ahh!!!

If you think that £3.99 for a game as polished as Ravensword is too much, then you seriously have no idea how much games are worth, and how much time and money is spent developing them.

Overpriced krapps are a problem. Ravensword is fairly priced slice of gaming excellence. Honestly, its not the developers fault you are cheap.

if you don’t want to pay for good apps, stick with the cheap ones or don’t have an iphone. I agree with Rene. I’ll pay for a good game.

I’m excited! I LOVE Fable games and Oblivion. I’ll be downloading this over the weekend (when I have time to play it)…if I get it now, it’ll interfere with things I “need” to do. Sad face.

If there was a port of Fable II or Fable I I would be in heaven, but I know that’s dreaming as it’s a Microsoft title

One example I can think of that does not offer DLC but I hope soon will is the study guides for law classes. I have bought a bunch of them and for the 39.99 price tag they are great considering the time spent on each hypo. If they added in app purchases for more flash cards and hypos that would be great rather than them charging lets say 99.99 for the entire app to cover any future releases which they may or may not create to support that price tag.

But for the most part, we pay more for better games/apps than we do for cheaper ones.

Some people argue for instance that console game prices have risen with each console due to higher incomes throughout the country but I think the real reason is the complexity of development with each new console and the level of data and attention to detail that can be packed into larger and larger volumes of disks.

I have yet to try this game but if the comparison to Oblivion is even 25% true for a mobile game, I bet they needed every penny they charged.

Off to try it out now !!!!!!!

Developers need to feed their families and have profitable businesses. If all “the market” wants is $4.99 games, that’s all we’ll get, and we’ll be missing out on some fantastic stuff.

(Imagine if Xbox gamers refused to pay more than $15, what kind of games would they get for that price?)
