Sale Price $0.99 SALE

(80% off) at iTunes Deal Factor 6.7 (details) Deal Factor for "The Sims Medieval (iPhone)"
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).

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.

Slide To Play 10.0 Reckless Racing 2 (iPhone)

Reckless Racing 2 is much better than the last game, which was already great to begin with.

IGN 9.0 Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning (PS3)

Gameplay-lacking RPGs have met their match.

IGN 8.0 The Simpsons Arcade Game (360)

Look out world, The Simpsons are back.

Pocket Gamer 7.0 Order Up!! To Go (iPhone)

Order Up!! To Go is a charming, tactile, and fun time-management game that’s undermined by a silly freemium structure

GameSpot 7.0 Double Fine Happy Action Theater (360)

Double Fine Happy Action Theater's imaginative scenarios make for unstructured, lighthearted fun.

Gamezebo 6.0 Rogue Racing (iPhone)
Rogue Racing (iPad)

Pros: Quality, fast-paced racing style with several control schemes. AI is highly aggressive and actually plays dirty. Cons: Players essentially start off penalized if they don’t make purchases right away. The number of race tracks is ridiculously limited.
