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. Also, it's hard to really say which is Read More

The Great Electronic Arts 99¢ Sale of 2010
Calendar16 Thu, 16 Dec 2010 12:23:29 UTC +00:00
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. Whatever the politically correct reason for this event is, the bottom line is that you can get a ton of EA games for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad for just a dollar each right now. (Note that some of these titles actually launched at 99¢, or have been that price for a while, but have been added to Read More

If you’re a fan of receiving free candy or for cleaning off an absurd amount of toilet paper off your front lawn, then you’ll know that Halloween is nearly upon us. Most people celebrate Halloween by paying money to go to places for the sole purpose of possibly getting frightened, walking with their children to complete strangers homes in order to get a treat, or keeping all of their lights off in order to avoid wave after wave of trick-or-treaters. If the last example sounds like your kind of Halloween, then why not take advantage of the big Halloween sales a number of iOS game publishers are offering for this weekend only? Playing on your iDevice of choice would certainly keep strangers from knowing you’re home, so give it a try!

R Type: My New Favorite iPhone Game
Calendar16 Tue, 07 Sep 2010 14:00:21 UTC +00:00
I’m not big on games. I don’t have the time or the patience to play, but from time to time I find a game that gets me stuck to my iPhone and makes my carpal tunnel even worse. My latest addiction: R Type, by DotEmu SAS in partnership with EA Games. The reason why I like this game so much is because I used to play it on my Comodore 64 when I was a kid. No need to tell you that lots of memories resurfaced as I went through the various levels… Why mess with a classic? R-Type for iPhone & iPod touch stays true to its roots, re-capturing the look and feel of one of the biggest arcade game hits from back in the day. Blast off and strike the evil Bydo Empire! Pilot your futuristic fighter, the R-9a “Arrowhead,” and attack wave after wave of Bydo baddies in Read More

R-Type goes iPhone – Get Your Trigger Finger Ready
Calendar16 Fri, 27 Aug 2010 20:10:43 UTC +00:00
As much as I enjoy new games that come out on a weekly basis, I still have a tender spot in my gamer heart for old school classics that get some new life as a revamped iPhone game. R-Type is definitely one of those classics. In case you couldn’t tell, I’ve been keeping a close eye on R-Type ever since I heard it was in the works. Thankfully, I did get to get some time with the game at EA’s press event last month and it looks like our wait is finally over as EA has finally made the arcade classic available on the iPhone AppStore. R-Type for the iPhone recreates the original sci-fi scrolling arcade classic faithfully. If you need a refresher on its story (and let’s be honest, do any of us actually realize there was a story behind R-Type), you’re the pilot of a futuristic fighter called the Read More

Review: Electronic Arts R-Type

Company: Electronic Arts Price: $2 Compatible: iPhone (EDGE/3G/3GS/4), iPod touch, iPad* Editor-in-Chief, iLounge Published: Thursday, August 26, 2010 Category: Games - iPad, iPhone + iPod For Electronic Arts, the experience of porting Irem's classic shooter R-Type ($2) to the iPhone and iPod touch must have been sort of like an art gallery undertaking the restoration of a painting only a step or two less famous than the Mona Lisa: R-Type is so well-known and respected by classic gamers that anything less than a perfect translation would have been cause for anger -- an emotion that fans of numerous Sega and Namco games have felt as their favorites have repeatedly been botched in the App Store. So it's with great joy that we report to you today that this version of R-Type is excellent: it's great enough in everything from aesthetics to controls and pricing to be worth buying today, despite the Read More
