Every first person shooter should make use of The gyroscope. But it need to have toggle on off

Sit in a swivel chair and try again. You only need to finger pan for major 180 spins and such. Use your swivel chair for 45 degree or so aiming to either side of dead center. Killer combo usability.

Or, hit settings and switch to old school.

I bought the game today on my iPhone 4, but the gyro support doesn't seem to work for me? Is it on for default setting? Or do I have to change something? I've digged around both game and phone settings, can't seem to find anything. I've tried another app which uses the gyro, and it works perfectly fine. So def. Something within the game? Help?

I read in an app store review to sit on a rotating office chair when playing with the gyroscope. Haven't tried it, but the gyro in nova is pretty incredible.

@Rob, great point, for what a combine $7 you can get bot these good games. people if you buy a $400 you can afford the measily $7 on two games, just get them both!

The great thing about all of this is you can have both and pay next to nothing. I mean what is arch going for now, 3 bucks?

Well I didn't expect my post to be deleted but my question still remains: Archetype vs NOVA. Which is worth the purchase and why?

Thread cleaned. Let's try to keep the trolling and counter-trolling to a zero. Thanks!

@JNGold Nova has both Multiplayer and story mode.. Archetype is just multiplayer.. I havent seen Nova since the retina display update.. but I will think overall NOVA is better..

I'm not brainwashed. I'm 15 years old and have turned my family over to apple because of quality products. Everybody is just jumping on apple now because they made a mistake. That never happens. Apples products are always perfect and Windows/Droid users alike kick themselves for it. And I have to agree on the iphone 4 reception issue some people are having. I know that it doesn't affect me at all. Plus apple is giving out free bumpers because of it and refunding users who bought them. Even with the bumper the iPhone 4 is thinner then any smartphone on the planet. So you can have your time to make fun of apple because they messed up once. And I'm proud you have that opportunity. But there's no need to go to a blog about apple products and just talk down about them. There's a time and place to share you thoughts, and we'd like to hear them. Just not here. -Royce

I love my iPhone and would never buy one of those department store Android phones.

haha and you said in one of the last Podcasts that Gameloft will not update their games. Personally, I don't like EgoShooters on this kind of device, but looks great and I hope more games with iOS4/iPhone4 using features are coming

I hope my phone comes somewhen the next days

Keep on with great podcast.

@ calculus they updated bia2 twice already for ios4 support and now nova. Yeah the gyro controls are utterly useless to be honest.

Gameloft updated a game! That's the real news.
