    In a titanic struggle with Gameloft? EA is banging too much on their big brand names while Gameloft has had more successes with relatively unknown or new game brands.

    Wow! I'm astounded! These are premnium titles we're talking about here. That leaves Firemint's Real Racing as the only game for a $9.99 price tag. lol..

    If Mass Effect comes down to $.99, it may actually be worth it...not.

    And soon it will be unplayable for you. LOL

    Nah but seriously, The Sims 3 might be 6.99 now, but you still can't play it for sh!t!

    And man.. I just got Wolf RPG a couple days ago... I mean I love it so far and it is definitely worth 4.99... but I don't get why they had to lower it now? It just freaking came out!! hahaha

    Wolf RPG was lowered to celebrate the release of Doom RPG! Now, I get to find out if wishful thinking really works.

    I think the Sims price drop was to prepare for the load of Gameloft games, or their new update w/ in app commerce.

    I actually like Sims 3, and of course, I paid the full 10 smackers for it. It's a stripped down version of the full Sims 3 PC experience, and it has more of a social element to it with less on building a house for example.
