Awesome deal. I will have to grab some of these when I get home.
Picked up Battleship, NFS:Shift and Tiger Woods. While I despise the controls of Tiger Woods, Battleship and Shift are fun.
Battleship is really good, Going to pick up Sims 3 and Need for Speed Shift tonight.
Tiger Woods PGA Tour is also on sale… definitely picked that one up. Doesn’t look like many of the others are that worthwhile…
I’ve logged many hours with Tiger Woods golf. It’s great to play a round of 18 while lying in bed before I turn in for the evening.
Peggle OR Plants vs Zombies.
Plands vs Zombies Hands down. Having run through the game 2 and a half times already, I wish that they would add some new achievements. I started making up my own achievements just to add some challenge to the game.
I’d just like them to add the rest of the bonus/mini games.
Favorite iPhone game is PocketTanks.
Angry Birds!
Hasn’t that always been 99c?
My favorite, too!
SimCity was the only one I was interested in and before buying I was told the port wasn’t very good and a new SimCity Deluxe is coming out. So I opted to save my pennies for Plants vs. Zombies (I have the OS X version and it’s amazing).
I’m playing Puzzle Quest on the iPhone but the holiest of holies, Final Fantasy Tactics is coming to the iPhone this year and that will likely be the best game on the machine, bar none (unless Square Enix screws up the controls or something).
Wha?
FFT on the iPhone?
Don’t tease me, bro.
Announced at E3.
Get on your knees and thank your chosen deity:

Fan-freakin-tastic. Day 1 purchase for me.
I’ll truly thank the gods if they will allow you to skip through the dialog before and during fights. That was my only complaint about the game. If you had to play a story fight more than once (or more than 15 times) it really got annoying having to plod through the dialog every time.
Now, if the announcement that Steven Weber is going to narrate the audiobook of The Stand were made, it might make me reconsider the existance of such a diety.
Im addicted to Haypi Kingdom. Its light weight, fun to play, and I can pop in and out of it throughout the day when I have a few minutes to kill and still advance well. Very fun. Download it, and use xtc46 as your referer.
I don’t even have an iPhone/Touch yet, I’m just holding out until Apple refreshes the iPod Touch and then I’m jumping in. I love my Android phone, but very few games like these have been released yet.
Apparently this is supposed to be a sale on “EA’s best games,” but they’re not including titles like The Sims, Monopoly, or Rockband. Of course, the sports titles get a steep discount instead.
How good is Red Alert compared to the computer game?
My favorite, too!
Doodle Jump!
Fat-A-Pult and Paper Pilot
http://www.freeappaday.com has a free selection everyday
Rocketbird!
Snagged Tiger Woods and Dragon’s Lair for a buck each. An amazing steal.
This is fantastic, and I’ve picked up a few myself but this is marketing genius!
Think about it —
2 days ago, mark down your games today from $7 or so to .99 and advertise the hell out of it.
During the frenzy, your games become popular as hell.
In a few days, what happens? New iPhone comes out.
People log into the app store looking to populate their new phones and look at the most popular paid games and what do they see? Yours! Now at full price.
Brilliant.
Yep, but that’s hardly a new tactic. Many apps go temporarily free for exactly that same reason.
Umm… I picked up Dragon’s Lair a week or two ago and it was already $0.99
Just a heads up, last time I played Red Alert on my iPhone it was slow and used up about 20% of my battery per level.
That picture up at the top is just too hilarious. Awesome.
Wolfenstine RPG is also on the list of $0.99 games it combines the look of the RCTW wolfenstine and brings in the classic dos story
Flight Control
Peggle is great, I also like Angry Birds and Sneezies. Don’t tell my Halo peeps that I like such fluff.
