GameSalad Creator Drops Price
via gamesalad.com

Another tool, GameSalad has drop there price. The once ridiculous fee of $500 for Express is now $99. Game Salad free for web publishing and now just $99 for iPhone Publishing.

The only thing is GameSalad is not a real programming tool. Personally I like programing with code. As you can do anything you want to, and it really pretty simple once you learn the syntax. GameSalad as reviewed a few months ago in this blog is like automator. The news here is another tool, has drop its ridiculous price. Specially consider GameSalad not a real programming tool. It more of just a publisher.

I hope any other development tools entering this realm soon of mobile publishing takes notice of these new price points. And comes down to reality.

GameSalad, Simple game creation for iPhone and Web

Do not understand programing? Do not worry. GameSalad is an Automator type creation tool for games and animation. Interesting concept, and it works. It can be used by traditional programers as a truly rapid prototyping tool. Or by anyone as designed. A simple to use, game creation tool. Web base games need a plug in.

 iPhone publishing is just around the corner. (Here the first live iPhone game made with GameSalad, below)

What ever the needs you have, This tool could become very useful.  Playing around and testing this product, was and has been truly amazing and fun. Start with a template and play around just as if you where using Automator and make something. One click publishing. with embed tags to put anywhere.

(Below are a few more, screens of the gameSalad interface)

 

Here is a video I found on youTube that speaks for it self.

If you are a programer looking for prototying. A gamer looking to make your own game, or just curious. I recomend checking out GameSalad. It is a great tool for any need. It is also fun toying around with. Check it out. It currently only works on OS X 10.5 or later with an Intel Processor.

Top 10 best games for iPhone.

These are my top ten games for the iPhone/ iPod Touch. I played only 486 total games for this platform so far. These ten I keep going back to over and over. Most of these are paid for, but some are the free ones. I actually found that most paid ones actually where more fun and had a better challenge than most of the free ones. Of coarse Many may disagree completely that some game I left of this list was better. 
 

                   

# 10 touchPhysics ($0.99)

This is a game that you have to move a ball to the star, using Physics. It was a real challenge The 1st time and is also a challenge the second way thought. A great play, It helps it saves your place to pick back up where you left off before.

# 9 Flick Fishing ($0.99) 

Yah you think fishing would be boring, but this game a true challenge to play again, and again. 

 
# 8 ArcadeBowl ($0.99)
Skiball anyone. It an arcade skiball game. Takes some doing of moving the device after you launch the ball to score big in progessive mode.

# 7 Tiki Towers ($0.99)
A fun challenge. You need to get the monkeys to the other side by building a tower or bridge, sounds easier than it really is.
 
# 6 UniWar ($0.99)
Online multiplayer Turnbase Strategy Game. I reviewed this in another post.
 
# 5 Field Runners ($1.99)
The best tower defense game for the iPhone.
 
# 4 Zombieville, USA (1.99)
A 2D scrolling shootem up. Tons of fun.
 
# 3 Crash Kart ($9.99)
The best racing experience in a cartoon, blow um style. (I own all the racing games, and yes this had the best user experience)
 
#2 Lock 'n' Roll (free)
Hours of fun, with this puzzle game. (the paid version , is the exact same game, No Lie)
 
#1 Mafia Wars (free)
Multi Player online turn base game.
