New Gamer Nation - The Spookening‘s main character is a ghost. No spoilers, but that should have been evident from the name alone. At the beginning of each stage, the character dies from a horrible accident—like tying his bow tie too tight and suffocating, or tripping on his scarf and breaking his neck—and must scare enough townspeople in each level to be resurrected. It goes without saying that the unfortunate nature of these ‘accidents’ should make even the clumsiest of people feel good about themselves.

And considering Apple is bent on rapidly releasing more and more powerful devices, many gamers will have to wait until they can upgrade. And maybe my idea of designing app-store games with graphical settings won’t work across the board (we're not game designers); however, we hate the idea of some mobile gamers being able to miss out on excellent games like the popular Infinity Blade, or in this case, the newly released The Spookening just because technology won’t stop imitating Ricky Bobby from Talladega Nights."
Who cares its a mobile phone. Anybody who uses it as their primary gaming doesnt really care about it.
You should educate yourself in modern business practices. If they do this they widen the range of possible consumers by not limiting a title to specific hardware. Cell phone games have greatly evolved from basic Gameboy like titles to modern handle quality titles. The market is just larger and the tech has improved dramatically. There is a reason so many companies develop on phones and handhelds or skip handhelds all together, kid! DAMN!
To be honest, there isn't a single game that needs this. There are not "console quality" games anywhere to be found. There are good looking titles, but not anything like consoles or even the Vita....
If they learned to manage their resources better, all these games would work fine on all kinds of phones.... I mean come on, phones have better specs than the original PSP at this point, yet the "older" ones can't even play similar titles? Why? Because the developers are too busy playing with the latest gadget.....
Why not? Mobile devices vary greatly. Even some flash games offer graphics settings, why not mobile games that actually cost money?
The gaming indusrty doesn't need casual mobile games or whatever. Yes I play sometimes on a mobile device but its just to pass time. Mobile should not be considered your main gaming device unless your already happy with games like angry birds and temple run. its like a weed in a garden full of beautiful flowers. mobile gaming affects Core gaming to some extent. On core games yes you also pass time but atleast its your passion, your hobby, your interest. It's in the level of sports, books arts etc. I just wrote this so nobody would tell me core games also pass time blah blah. Theres a good reason you cant find console quality games like tomb raider, uncharted, God of war or gears on any mobile device especially smartphones. This is the realm of PC and consoles. Mobile gaming just joined for fun
Who cares? It's still a garbage mobile game.
I use my nexus 7 for work...why would I waste time playing junky, f2p cash shop games when I can come home to a massive screen, all the consoles, and a beast ass computer?
I have yet to see anything worth my time (final fantasy tactics on my ipad was ok before I got rid of the ipad) and doubt I will. Sure, bejeweled is alright, but I want real games like far cry, injustice, etc. Due to the controls, the marketing, the cheese and sub indie quality programming - forget it. They feel like roadside scam carnival games compared to the real thing.
Forget it.

Game developers of the current generation have provided gamers ample opportunity to be a complete bastard in a video game and disguise it as a moral choice system. Most of the time, however, this is limited to simply handing players a multitude of tools and weapons that can be used to massacre many NPCs as gruesomely as possible. In Modesty's The Spookening, you’re still a bastard; however, the game provides a different end-goal to satisfy players’ selfish-urges: creatively scaring the souls out of the NPCs.
It's still full price on the UK App Store !!!!!!
