I will pay for your Receipt

Two things I'm sick of on the iTunes app store: Tower Defense games and Web-Based MMO's.
I've played a fair few Tower Defense games and I didn't like it a whole lot. I admit, the ones that are more like "You defend this tower with your finger power" are okay, but really the app store is flooded with them.
And what's with the Web-Based MMO's? Why can't you just go to Facebook and play them? Do they really deserve their own dedicated app? You could make something more interesting yourself. I'd rather play a choose-your-own-adventure with mild RPG elements than click on a quest a few times then wait a while for you to regain energy to do more quests. There's hardly any gameplay in them, but my main gripe is that there's just so many of them, and I'm willing to bet they all play the same.

There are a lot of apps filed under "lifestyle" that are essentially a collection of pictures that you can save to your ipod, and they're always expensive. Really? Do they expect someone to pay $4 for some pictures you stole off DeviantArt and I could find with google image search? For FREE?

The app store game genres are really innacurate. Cheat guides for console games are listed AS games. Web-Based MMO's are listed multiple times, with pay-versions coming with something trivial. Slide To Play's genre classification also has problems. "Unarmed Combat"? Couldn't you just say "2D Fighting Games"? Punch-Out ripoffs should get their own genre.

$8 for Sonic The Hedgehog? Sure its a timeless classic, but $8? Isn't that a bit much? And no, the controls are fine and the lack of a continue option is somewhat offest by a level select cheat.
WWE SvR 2010 was an impulse buy. It may be the same as the java mobile game in many ways, but its still good. No CM Punk? Aww...

And don't EVER buy an iTunes gift card, always get them printed ON the receipt.



Finally, there's this one app, iAllosaur, I... don't really understand it. Its kinda an educational virtual pet where you have extremely limited interaction with the pet and... I just don't get it.
