What's a real game? What do you mean by that?
This is a video game like any other video game, saying that it's no "real" game is nothing more than a veiled insult. You should explain the difference, then you can start insulting.

There's certainly room for this sort of thing, just as there's room for horror flicks in a world with Citizen Kane. There absolutely is: they are entirely different products. I'm not going to play this when I want a thinking sort of game, and I'm not going to play Civilization when I only have fifteen minutes.
I don't disagree that this is a game, I was just going after my parent's sentiment.
A "real" game like you say costs around 40$. It is a very well known gameplay (RTS,FPS,RPG,MMORPG,etc.) but in different clothing. You might play with it for 2-3 months.
Slice HD is a unique gameply, a new experience. You will have a heck lot of fun playing it because it is something fresh that you interact with. I may not be an iPad fan, but the thing is that your 1 month with this whole new game and experience only costs 3$.
For 40$ you can buy multiple amazing games with new dynamics while supporting some indie developpers. It sure wont replace those "big game" but for the price and the fun, it can't be matched!
