Several iPhone developers have chosen to have sales this weekend, in the spirit of Black Friday, and Thanksgiving. Some of these sales are pretty nice.<\/p>\n
For example, Electronic Arts<\/a> has slashed prices on a number of their products to 60% or even 50% of their original price. One such game is Wolfenstein RPG<\/a>, which I picked up immediately, as I’ve been waiting for it to go on sale. While Wolfenstein is famous for being a first-person shooter, it translates really well into an RPG. It doesn’t feel turn-based at all until you enter combat, at which point the enemies just don’t shoot at you until you’ve either moved, fired a weapon, or done some other action. There are puzzles and experience points and all the things that make RPGs great, as well as some great moments of humor (for example, there are chickens everywhere that you can kill in a variety of ways to turn into chicken dinners for health).<\/p>\n In fact, all of id Software’s titles are on sale this weekend, so if you’ve been interested in DOOM Resurrection<\/a> (an on-rails shooter that’s been very well received) or Wolfenstein Classic<\/a> (the classic PC game from the early 90s, perfectly recreated for play on the iPhone and iPod Touch), now is the perfect time to pick them up.<\/p>\n In fact, most EA iPhone titles are available (around 30 of them) at the discounted price, so if there are any you’ve been eyeing, but were waiting for a discount, now is the time to check them out<\/a>.<\/p>\n The other title that I was really excited to find out is on sale this weekend, is Hero of Sparta<\/a> by Gameloft<\/a>. When iPhone OS 2.0 first came out, the company Digital Legends Entertainment<\/a> released Kroll<\/a>, a beautiful-3D brawler that had some of the most amazing graphics seen on a portable device, but fairly low on gameplay techniques and replay value. Hero of Sparta took it a step further by marrying those beautiful graphics that the iPhone was capable of to a more solid control scheme with more action and a lot more gameplay value. If you are a fan of hack-and-slash action games, then Hero of Sparta is a good choice for you.<\/p>\n Keep your eyes peeled for better deals out there, because if there was ever a good time to find great deals on iPhone software, this weekend is likely to be it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Several iPhone developers have chosen to have sales this weekend, in the spirit of Black Friday, and Thanksgiving.
