BioWare’s Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic ($9.99) is back at its lowest price ever of $2.99. The game was already an absurd price-per-hour bargain at $9.99, but for $2.99, it’s just proof of how lucky mobile gamers are to get to paly a classic like this at a bargain-basement price.

So, this is a safer bet to buy than many big-name paid games that have fallen by the wayside over time.
