Big-Name Game Publishers are Having a Fire Sale During the Christmas Holidays

Wednesday, December 23, 2009

This Christmas, many great apps and games are holding a big sale. Their discount may be as much as 87% from their original price. Unlike the thanksgiving Black Friday sale, more big named publishers are joining in this end of year event.

This is great new for iPhone app and game fanatics. Get the games and apps you’ve always wanted for a lot less.

2XL ATV Offroad $7.99 -> $0.99 (App Store) is one of the best racing game in the App Store. It looks gorgeous and plays great with lots of customization available. At 87% off, this belongs in your game collection.

Namco has also joined the Christmas Sale Frenzy with their new games PacMan Championship Edition and Ace Combat Xi Skies of Incursion.

PacMan Championship Edition $2.99 -> $.99 (App Store)

Ace Combat Xi Skies of Incursion $7.99 -> $4.99 (App Store)

iD Software’s Doom series classics are also on sale.

Doom Classic ($6.99 -> $2.99) (App Store)
Doom Resurrection ($6.99 -> $1.99) (App Store)
Wolfenstein 3D Classic Platinum ($1.99 -> $.99) (App Store)

EA, the game industry’s big dog, is also holding a Christmas sale on many of its popular apps

Madden NFL 10 ($6.99 -> $5.99) (App Store)
Wolfenstein RPG ($1.99 -> $.99) (App Store)
Rock Band ($6.99 -> $4.99) (App Store)
NBA Live ($6.99 -> $4.99) (App Store)
Scrabble ($4.99 -> $2.99)

Although it is not a game. It is worth mentioning that one of my favorite all-in-one instant messenger and twitter app, IM+ (App Store) is on sale for $1.99. Its price usually fluctuates between $4.99 and $9.99. But push notifications is where this app really shines. Get all of your instant messages from Gtalk, Facebook, MSN, Yahoo, and even Twitter delivered to you via push. It even pushes friend’s timelines so you will know the minute they tweet something. It is really a useful tool. At $1.99 it is really a steal!
