(100% off) at iTunes Deal Factor 6.6 (details) Deal Factor for "Back to the Future: The Game (iPad)"
The Deal Factor reflects the value of a deal: it's a score ranging from 0 to 10 that is based on the game's average review score, the percentage of the price drop ("savings"), and the game's age. Deals with the largest savings on the best-reviewed and most recent games have the highest Deal Factors. Since we're snobs, we give more weight to the review score than the savings or age (a bad game doesn't get better just because it's cheap or new, and our goal is to help you find the most attractive deals, not just the cheapest or newest games).

For "Back to the Future: The Game" the Deal Factor details look like this:

Weighted Review Score 3.6

Pros: Time rewind mechanic is fun, animation is top notch Cons: Dialogue parts seem to take forever

Slide To Play 10.0 GHOST TRICK: Phantom Detective (iPhone)

Ghost Trick was one of the best games on the DS, and now it's one of the best on iOS as well. You must play this game.

Thursday, February 02, 2012

AppSpy 10.0 GHOST TRICK: Phantom Detective (iPhone)

GHOST TRICK: Phantom Detective, quite simply, feels like it was always destined for the App Store and now that it’s here you should definitely grab it; funny, clever and fun - easily a must have.

AppSpy 8.0 Sam & Max Beyond Time and Space Ep 1 (iPhone)

Control issues aside, Sam & Max Time and Space Ep 1 (Ice Station Santa) loses almost none of its charm on the iOS platform, however it's a much harder sell if you've already taken time in the last 4 years to already finish the game.

AppSpy 8.0 Kaptain Brawe: A Brawe New World (Full) (iPhone)

Adventure game fans will really enjoy this addition to the genre. For others, the lack of voice acting, and the slow pace of solving puzzles might be a deterrent.

Pocket Gamer 4.0 Jurassic Park: The Game 3 HD (iPad)

The Jurassic Park games have always been disappointing, but with less action and virtually no puzzles, episode three is the worst one yet

Gamezebo 4.0 The Princess Case: A Royal Scoop HD (iPad)

Pros: Multiple variations on the standard hidden object scene. Hints are fairly easy to come by. Cons: Story is a bit too unbelievable. Character models are static and downright creepy. Puzzles and mini-games lack greatly in variety or challenge.

Pocket Gamer 7.0 Kaptain Brawe: A Brawe New World (iPhone)

A nice trip down memory lane, Kaptain Brawe: Brawe New World doesn't bring any of its own ideas to the party, but it's an enjoyable diversion all the same

Monday, January 02, 2012

Gamezebo 8.0 Law & Order: Legacies (iPad)

Pros: Really fun conversation system. Listening for little clues makes you feel like a cop. Cons: Hidden object part can be a little tricky.

Pocket Gamer 6.0 Corpse Party (PSP)

When you're following the narrow path the designers expect you to walk down, Corpse Party is one of the scariest portable games you can buy. Yet, failure to do so demands you re-play massive chunks of content you've already seen, significantly diminishing its appeal.
