BeejiveIM, largely regarded as being the best of the multi-service instant messaging clients, is now on sale for the lowest price it’s been sold for- $5.99- matching the price it was on sale for over the Holidays last year. There’s no real reason given, but it’s not too unreasonable to speculate that they’re feeling a bit of a crunch from the recent release of the free Meebo app. Personally having used both, I’m still happier with BeeJiveIM- it’s got enough additional features to make it worth the money. And it’s even more worth it if you grab it now for nearly half off the usual $10 price.
The RTS game Robocalypse- Mobile Mayhem is free for today only. It’s a nice, fun little Real-time strategy game that was a good deal at its previous $.99 price point, but you can get it completely free today.
UniWar, that really awesome turn-based strategy game I kept comparing Transformers G1 Awakening to, is free today! Normally it’s $0.99, but you could use that buck to buy some gum!
In celebration of the release of the first two Final Fantasy games on the iPhone this week, Square Enix has put all of their other games on sale. The list of the titles on sale can be found below:
Song Summoner: The Unsung Heroes Encore ($7.99)
Crystal Defenders ($5.99)
Vanguard Storm ($3.99)
Sliding Heroes ($.99)
Hills and Rivers Remain ($4.99)
To celebrate their one-year anniversary of being in the App Store, gaming company Taito has discounted several of their games temporarily. Arkanoid and Space Invaders (the classic version, not Infinity Gene unfortunately) are down to $3, and Cameltry is down to $.99. Unfortunately some of their other games like Space Invaders Infinity Gene and Cooking Mama are not being discounted, but if you’ve been waiting for a sale on the ones that have dropped in price now would be a good time to grab them!
It might be a while till we see GTA: Chinatown Wars dip any lower in price, but the game is now $6.99, down from the high (though worth it) $9.99 price. If you’re hesitant that this won’t be a GTA experience that meets those of the originals, then get ready to be surprised as Chinatown Wars is definitely at a level of quality matching and surpassing the original GTA and GTA II.
In case you missed it, Robocalypse, the really high-quality RTS humor game (with full prices on DS) is again at just a dollar. If you enjoyed the Lite version or want to dip your toe in the unknown dollar-game-app pool, it’s a great choice!
I know it’s still pricey, but the new Broken Sword remake for iPhone is down a couple dollars to $4.99. It’s a fantastic game (I’m halfway through) and I think the price is just way too low given the quality. Great graphics, full voice work, and an intriguing story - all for the price of a movie rental. You know you’d rather play this than rent Angels & Demons…
Unleash the deal on Star Wars: Force Unleashed! Finally we’re getting a price break on this older iPhone title and I’m as excited as the next guy to get my Jedi mind-tricks (or swiping and tapping) on for a dollar.
