    No sooner had I read that EA put up some of their games for 99 cents, Gameloft does the same as well. EA's sale is currently for 48 hours, Gameloft's runs till February 14th.

    Nice, I had been wanting Star Battalion HD and for $0.99 I don't have to wait anymore. Thanks for posting this. :D

    Edit: It's worth noting that some of gamelofts HD(ipad) versions of the games you have listed are on sale also and some aren't.

    EA & Gameloft Sale

    Yeah it's great if you are across the Pond in the USA, but the vast majority of these apps are not available outside USA. As per my comment on today's Touch article, this is becoming an increasing occurrence and it is beginning to stink. Apple & Developers should decide if they are in a Worldwide Market or if the Market is primarily the USA and the rest of us get the occasional crumbs/leftovers.

    Also you guys at Touch Arcade, if, when you review or produce info on apps, you highlighted whether they were worldwide, because your web site has a Worldwide readership, then it would be much appreciated and highlight this growing trend.

    All games (except Yahtzee) are available here in Sweden. EA have two versions of their games (one US and one for the rest of the world for some reason), so alot of times clicking on the AppStore links here on TA wont work with EA stuff.

    I'm going to have to go with game loft, mainly because they're showing the iPad more love than EA.

    My top 5 for both the EA/Gameloft sales:

    EA
    -Madden 2011
    -NFS: HP
    -BF: BC2
    -Fifa 2011
    -Mirror's Edge

    Gameloft
    -Spider Man
    -Zombie Infection
    -Prince of Persia: WW
    -Shadow Guardian
    -Star Battalion

    They're not in any kind of order, but for those of you who are curious, these are some of the better titles. The games GL has on sale currently are definitely more attractive than what EA has to off although the file size might be quite large at time. Well, honestly, EA's file sizes are truly no smaller in this batch of games.

    No sales will be added besides an additional one for Gameloft that is currently being voted on by buyers.

    Why so curious?
    NOVA 2 is almost guaranteed to go on a $0.99 sale next Monday. So, if anyone is thinking about buying that game, I'd advise you to wait till then, unless you've money to burn. :D

    For a buck, yes.
    For more than that, maybe, if you liked Resident Evil 4 iOS.

    Just get Street Fighter 4 from CAPCOM and Shadow Gaurdian from Gameloft. Those are my picks.

    And the winner is... Capcom! You can't beat SFIV or Pheonix Wright for $0.99.

    +1, some of Gameloft's titles on sale make it a close second though.
