For those of you who have been dying to try Metal Gear Solid on your iPhone or iPod touch, now is your chance.  Konami has finally decided to throw Metal Gear Solid Touch into the App Store’s bargain bin, but only for a limited time. Metal Gear Solid Touch is an on-rails shooter, which means that you won’t be controlling your characters movements, just the on-screen reticule.  This isn’t exactly a bad thing, at least for some players, because the game still sports the usual Metal Gear Solid enemies and story.  Metal Gear Solid Touch features 20 stages spanning across five different areas, multiple titles to earn, and 50 exclusive wallpapers for your device. Metal Gear Solid Touch is normally priced at $7.99, but you can now pick it up for $2.99.  The sale price will remain in effect until August 15th.  If you need some help deciding if it’s worthy Read More

App Store Insider is back from its short hiatus to bring you a new perspective on all things App Store related.  Instead of the usual whining about the App Store being broken, and how developers are constantly given the run around from Apple when things don’t go as expected, I have decided to bring you the story of three college students trying to make their presence felt at the App Store. As the story goes, three normal guys, currently attending Valparaiso University, decided to pull together to try and create a successful application for the iPhone.  The idea wasn’t to only build and distribute an application, but to allow other people in their same general position to follow along and witness what it takes to accomplish this task from start to finish. The three man team consists of Cameron Banga, Michael Phelps, and Jeff Lange. And no, it’s not that Michael Phelps.  Each member Read More

For some people, dropping $7.99 on anything Metal Gear Solid related is a no-brainer, Konami could essentially slap the name on an empty box and watch it sell, but for those of you that aren’t hardcore fans of the series and simply want to see what all of the fuss is about, Konami has released a Lite version of Metal Gear Solid Touch for you to try on your iPhone. The Lite version allows you to experience the opening story of the game and 3 Middle Eastern stages, which isn’t very much content compared to the full game’s 20 stages and 30 Metal Gear Solid related wallpapers, but at least it allows you to get a feel for the controls without purchasing it. Metal Gear Solid Touch Lite is available for free at the App Store.  If you think you are ready for the entire Solid Snake experience, the full version Read More

In mid-March, Konami released Metal Gear Solid Touch [App Store] for the iPhone and iPod touch.  A departure from the style of the famed Playstation franchise, Metal Gear Solid Touch is a tap-shooter with impressive graphics but short-lived gameplay. We advised back in March that, for anyone other than fans of the franchise, the $7.99 asking price is hard to justify. Well, now you can decide for yourselves. Konami has just released Metal Gear Solid Touch Lite [link] through the App Store.  This free download presents the opening story as well as three Middle Eastern stage (the full game features 20) to give those on the fence a feel for the play experience. If Metal Gear Solid Touch seems remotely interesting to you, the lite version is probably worth a download.
