Christmas Sale: Every EA Published Game $.99 or Free

Tue, 20 Dec 2011 19:51:29 UTC +00:00

Touch Arcade

We've come to expect EA to never mess around with its sales, and we're pleased to report that it certainly isn't messing around with its latest. From now, and presumably until shortly after New Years Day, all of the publisher's gargantuan premium catalogue is an agreeable $.99. That means games like Madden 12, Trenches II, and many others have been reduced up to 90-percent off the original asking price. Whoa, right? This same sale happened last year around this time, too. You probably know the story, but EA managed to choke the App Store's charts with its titles and pushed everyone out of its way. It was a powerful move that set the yuletide savings tone moving forward. We've got a list, but just as a note, we haven't listed every single EA game, just the ones in this "holiday sale."

'Great Little War Game' Receives New Campaign Via Update

Thu, 01 Sep 2011 18:00:05 UTC +00:00

Touch Arcade

Rubicon’s Great Little War Game [$.99 / UHD / UHD Lite], a turn-based delight that marries conventional micro-based troop management and action with over-the-top art direction and style, can now boast a new campaign and more skirmish maps thanks to a recent update. Dubbed “Call of Booty,” the free campaign adds ten additional levels to an already packed core offering. The skirmish levels number exactly five, which seems like a lot to us. While that stuff is definitely the most important part of the update, it does also do this: it strips the IAP from the additional voice packages. From now until “forever,” you can grab the additional voice packs for no cost. That’s cool, right? If you want to know a little bit more about Great Little War Game, there’s no better place than our review, which also highlighted update 1.4. In short, we liked what we played and think Read More

EA's Doing A Father's Day Sale, Too; Tons of Games On The Cheap

Fri, 17 Jun 2011 15:00:59 UTC +00:00

Touch Arcade

Men like hitting stuff. At least, the “manly-men” of the world do, according to EA. The studio has kicked off its own Fathers’ Day celebration on the App Store, slashing prices for several of its action and sports-oriented titles. Big names like FIFA 11 and Battlefield: Bad Company 2 and Madden 11 have been reduced to pennies, while others are receiving generous discounts. Dead Space, for example, is now just $3. Overall, there’s over a dozen EA-published games available at 85-percent off the normal rate. We’re not sure how much longer the “Many-Man sale” -- no joke -- will last, so it’s probably wise to grab any of these while they’re on the cheap. If you’re interested in more deals, know that EA isn’t the only publisher hacking at its standard prices -- Gameloft and Firemint have their own going on right now. #5 Today, 04:45 PM Junior Member Read More

EA Mega Memorial Day Sale – Dead Space and More On Sale All Weekend

Fri, 27 May 2011 19:54:26 UTC +00:00

Touch Arcade

EA wields an incredible amount of power on the App Store. Their game catalog is incredibly vast, and consists of tons of well known IP that even non-gamers are familiar with. When they pulled a similar stunt this holiday season, EA absolutely dominated the top sales list which was great for gamers who scored absolutely insane deals, but bad for other developers who had their Christmas dreams decimated by EA controlling the majority of the App Store top 100. We'll see what happens this time around with this similarly massive sale- This is definitely a great time to fill in your collection if you're missing any of these EA titles. It's hard to really provide any real recommendations here since so many of these games are so good. If you don't have Dead Space yet, I'd really download that. Same with NBA Jam.

Satoru Iwata, President of Nintendo, asks game developers to ignore smartphones

Thu, 03 Mar 2011 14:18:53 UTC +00:00

IntoMobile

Nintendo recently launched their 3DS mobile gaming system in Japan and it’s due to hit American shores quite soon. It’s the successor to the wildly popular DS and DSi, both of which introduced gamers to a new way of enjoying games thanks to the two screens, one of which being touch enabled. Satoru Iwata, the President of Nintendo, in a speech at the Game Developers Conference that’s currently taking place in San Francisco said that he thinks that game developers should focus on building games for dedicated devices versus being tempted to create cheap applications for smartphones. It’s easy to understand why he would say such a thing. Nintendo makes money with every piece of hardware they sell and in order to make a game for their system you as a developer need to give Nintendo a cut of your profits. There was once a time when you could say that Read More

iOS Game Publishers Offer Valentine’s Day Sales for Select iPhone & iPad Games

When I think of Valentine’s Day I think of Cupid prancing around, shooting his arrows into people to help them fall in love, couples planning their days out with brunches, picnics, and an elegant dinner at a 5 star restaurant. I also think of the rest of you poor bastards who say that you’re fine with being single and you prefer your independence rather than reporting in with someone on everything you do, but let’s face it, you just haven’t found the right person yet. Instead of staying home and being miserable watching RomComs while eating a bucket of Turkey Hill ice cream, you can stay home and celebrate your independence by playing games all weekend long.

It seems like whenever a holiday rolls around in the US, all of the major developers put their catalog of iOS games on sale in an effort to ride a wave of publicity into the top app charts. Electronic Arts is no stranger to this practice, and in observance of a very special holiday this Winter they have dropped a huge number of their games down to 99¢. Yes, that's right, EA is having a sale to celebrate forum moderator ImNoSuperMan's birthday. Just kidding. It's a Christmas sale. Or rather, a "Holiday" sale.

Happy Thanksgiving – Here Are a TON of Games on Sale

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays, and has been all my life.

EA Drops Prices on iPhone Games Including Madden, FIFA and SimCity to $1

by Game-maker Electronic Arts (EA) is selling a big chunk of its iPhone game library for just $0.99 per game for the next 48 hours — a steep discount for many of its titles which include Madden NFL 2010, FIFA 10 and SimCity. Not all of EA’s games are on sale, though. Sure, SimCity is $0.99, but [iTunes link] is still a steep $6.99, and while FIFA 2010 is just $0.99, the more timely [iTunes link] hangs at $2.99 — though that’s not a bad price, either. EA is one of the world’s biggest game publishers. Its EA Sports line of games is at the top of the heap, and franchises like The Sims, Mass Effect and Medal of Honor have at one time or another led in sales or influence. Increasingly, the company has extended those franchises to mobile devices like the iPhone. The full list of games on sale Read More

EA is now setting its sights on the 99¢ market, which is where their new "micro-studio", 8lb Gorilla comes in. 8lb Gorilla is a team of twenty-something year old developers set loose by EA executives, in their words, "on an island" to develop indie-style simple pick up and play iPhone games. These 8lb gorillas, backed by EA (the 800lb gorilla) plan on releasing these bite-sized games on a near-monthly basis, pending no delays with the App Store submission process. Their first entry in to this market is Zombies & Me. Instead of taking place in a post-apocalyptic world, the game is set Read More

EA Sales: 'Tiger Woods' and 'Need for Speed'

Touch Arcade

EA has recently dropped the price on two of its high profile titles: Tiger Woods and Need for Speed. Both are excellent games that were originally priced at $9.99 and are on sale temporarily for $6.99. We took a close look at both Tiger Woods and Need for Speed before. At the time of it's review, Need for Speed was declared the "best iPhone racer". That title has been a bit more highly contested since the release of Real Racing, however, but Need for Speed still delivers a very high quality and fun arcade racer. Need for Speed Tiger Woods The system is slow. I have to admit we are not quite prepared to handle thousands of game operation requests in one second. Q1, the time that the update is delivered by Apple, we updated the system as well, but a mistake happened the the system going very slow, some of Read More

Need For Speed Undercover Price Drop

Apple iPhone Apps

Somehow, someway, the Need for Speed Undercover price drop slipped by us for a few days. Hmm, I wonder why? Could it have been because we were too busy focusing our attention on another racing game? Do you think it is a coincidence that EA dropped the price of Need for Speed only moments before that “other” racing game hit the App Store? It’s irrelevant really, all that matters is that you can save some cash. Need for Speed Undercover is a high-octane thrill ride of a racing game, so don’t expect a relaxing joyride through the countryside, this one is an arcade racer through and through. The game features 20 licensed cars, 8 race modes, 24 covert missions with even more secret missions, and more. Need for Speed Undercover initially was available for $9.99, but it is now available in the App Store for only $6.99. Read More

'Real Racing' - Now THIS Is a Racing Game.

Tue, 09 Jun 2009 18:55:36 UTC +00:00

Touch Arcade

While Flight Control [App Store] may be Australian developer Firemint’s runaway hit, they’ve been hard at work for months on Real Racing [App Store]. Prior to last week, all we saw of Real Racing was a screenshot or new trailer randomly pop up here and there, leaving iPhone communities all over the internet speculating what the final product would be like. I’ve found most iPhone racing games somewhat unappealing. While accelerometer tilt controls translate great to driving controls, they’ve all just felt a little flat. EA’s recently released Need For Speed Undercover [App Store] came close to quenching my thirst for a great racer on the platform, but fell short for a number of reasons, in my eyes. Poor AI combined with races that were hard to lose had me quickly growing bored of the game, despite its doing a great job at capturing the Need For Speed feel on the Read More

Need For Speed Arrives on the iPhone in Style!

Fri, 05 Jun 2009 00:30:15 UTC +00:00

App Craver

06.04.09 App Score: 9/10 Need for Speed: Undercover – For nearly 15 years and several generations of gaming hardware, the Need for Speed franchise has endured as a beloved arcade racing franchise for all gamers. Granted it has come in several different themes over the years (e.g. exotic cars, rally racing, street racing, police pursuits, etc.), the quality of the games has consistently been good to fantastic. Electronic Arts(EA) has brought over the popular franchise to the iPhone through it’s most recent entry in the series, Need For Speed: Undercover. While this title was released last holiday on all major consoles and handheld devices, I was nervous this version would suffer from a quick and dirty port. It turns out my fears were unsubstantiated as EA has unquestionably delivered one hell of a racing game. Need for Speed: Undercover places you in the role of an undercover Read More

The Need For Speed series is top dog when it comes to fun, arcade racing on the most popular consoles today and now EA has released a version for the iPhone and Ipod Touch that looks to dominate mobile racing.

It has a shop where new cars can be bought, an excellent steering system and some great looking graphics. Right from the get go, player will be introduced to the storyline. You are an undercover driver who basically needs to race your way to victory. Go figure. The controls are simple. Tapping on the screen breaks the car which is automatically accelerated by the game. Swiping up once will activate your nitro and give you that extra boost you may need. Swiping down on the screen will activate a kind of slow motion feature that will help Read More

Need for Speed Undercover Review: Racing Game Cut Above The Rest

Sat, 16 May 2009 09:49:11 UTC +00:00

The App Era

Written by: Damon Sainter (Site) The long awaited racing game by Electronic Arts is finally released onto the App Store, and it was well worth the wait! The Need for Speed series is one of the most successful racing franchises ever since its first ever game in 1994 while this version is an iPhone first. Need for Speed Undercover ($9.99) Some previous reviews I have done on 2XL Supercross and Zen Bound have talked about how good their graphics are for a device like the iPhone. Need for Speed’s graphics are considerably above average for a PSP game. The graphics are backed up with equally good sound effects, cut scenes and amazing gameplay. The way Electronic Arts have totally recreated the game, not just ported over a watered down version of Need for Speed Undercover console version is superb. The controls for the game excellently use the touch screen and accelerometer Read More

EA's 'Need for Speed Undercover' Takes the iPhone Racing Crown

Fri, 08 May 2009 19:04:13 UTC +00:00

Touch Arcade

It was a long time coming, but the greatest iPhone racer of them all has arrived in the App Store. We first caught wind of an iPhone installment of EA's highly popular and long-running racing franchise back in August, and after several delays, Need For Speed Undercover [App Store] has finally arrived. Was it worth the wait? Most definitely. Let's take a look. NFS Undercover, in keeping with much of the franchise, is a mission-based racer, as opposed to the 'round-the-track variety. As the title might suggest, you play the role of an undercover wheel man infiltrating a series of street racer / chop-shop gangs to try and bust an auto theft ring wide open. Your point person is a seductive get-the-job-done savvy operative who guides you from mission to mission and gang to gang. And the key to it all? Own the road, screw with the cops, and just generally Read More

Hands On: Need For Speed Undercover Polishes Up iPhone Racing Games [IPhone Games]

Wed, 06 May 2009 23:40:00 UTC +00:00

Gizmodo

EA just released Need For Speed Undercover, a surprisingly polished racer, to the iPhone App Store. Is it worth your $10? I've personally found most racing games on the iPhone to be seriously difficult to control, with the steering controls sending me veering back and forth across the track with no chance of winning. NFSU feels tighter, with a quick twist of the iPhone putting you into drift mode rather than sending you careening across the track. I actually got the hang of it pretty quickly. You accelerate automatically, with one finger anywhere on the screen acting as a brake. A quick swipe up is a nitro boost, while a quick swipe down puts you in Speedbreaker mode. The graphics are really solid, with no noticeable framerate hiccups and reasonable load times. They're easily as good as the graphics you'd expect to find on the PSP. The music is a bit Read More

Great game...VERY Polished!!!

shaner12

Version: 1.1.28

It is official. If you want to buy a car game for the iPhone, Need for Speed is the one to buy. The accelerometer controls work very well (not way too sensitive, just right), and the graphics are insane! This game looks like a PSP game! The amount of depth in this game is also very suprising! My only complaint for this game is that they need to add more cars. There are only 20 so far, but hopefully they add some more cars in future updates (2010 Chevy Camaro PLEASE!!!)

EA proves yet again $10 is certainly not too much to ask for on the iPhone

Slickninja

Version: 1.1.28

NFS:Undercover is the app to tease your non-iPhone having friends with. As awesome as Zen Bound, Rolando and other great iPhone originals are, they just don't have the recognition that Need For Speed has with non-Touch/iPhone gamers. The game sports FMV cutscenes, a blaring street racing sound track and some of the best iPhone graphics to this date and plays very well. It makes a strong argument that iPhone/Touch are far beyond just simple $1 apps and its the kind of experience that could easily translate to even more people abandoning their current smart phone or MP3 player just to get in on the action. The game isn't perfect, the auto-accelerate may annoy some. The tilt controls (in my opinion work great) have had some mixed response but if they simply update the app to let users customize the experience to game play preferences, they'll have a winner for all gamers. It sports multiple mission modes, plenty of cars, customizability (although lacking just a little of the extreme options that other versions have) that makes this a gem. I hope EA finds plenty of success with Tiger Woods and NFS:Underground as it could bring a few more big publishers to the iPhone and encourage current devs to make bigger, fuller game experiences. Its very good time to be an iPhone gamer.

Overrated!!!

Mac addict 42

Version: 1.1.28

Yes the graphics are great! And it is really fun and exciting for a while, but soon you begin to realize that you dont really feel totally in control. Then you try to hit a wall just to see if you can... And you can't!! Go ahead! I dare you to try and hit a wall! Then I dare you to just start a race and not turn at all! Just hit the nitro a few times, sit back and enjoy the un-fun feeling of not having to steer at all!! Yay what fun!! Auto steer!! Hooray!! I've won races like this!! Walls don't even slow you down! Of course I guess you'd have to actually be able to hit them for them to slow you down. I can't say I'm too surprised though. EA is more of a money mill than a quality game developed these days. And let's face it, as popular as the NFS franchise is, there are so many better racers out there. And this iteration is no exception. I can't believe I waited this long to pay for a game that let's me watch it race itself! Avoid if you actually want control over your car!!

Can I give this 10 stars?

SuperYendoR

Version: 1.1.28

I bought and played the other games, the Ferrari game, Asphalt 4... you name it. NOTHING comes close to this. It is as involving as the concole version if not more. It is truly amazing that they were able to do this much with a mobile device. In fact, I'm sure that the programmers at EA are also amazed. And I've never paid this much for an app, but I feel like I got over quite nicely. Thanks EA!!!
