Here’s something interesting: GAME is offering up a trio of EA mobile games as pre-order bonuses for boxed copies of Dead Space 3, Sim City, and Army Of Two: The Devil’s Cartel. Specifically, the UK retailer is dangling copies of FIFA 13 ($6.99), Need for Speed Most Wanted ($4.99), and Mass Effect: Infiltrator ($4.99) to anyone willing to throw down some money on these games before they come out.
The GAME “bonus" page for Dead Space 3 pre-orders notes that this exchange is an exclusive to the retailer. No other retailers in any other regions we’ve checked out are offering anything like this, as you’d expect since this is “exclusive" and all.
It doesn’t seem crazy to assume that this will become a thing. iPhone games are probably way easier to distribute than DLC cards, inserts, or physical items. Plus, they’re a lot more fun to own. And way more disposable.

Can't complain, free to play, but does it have hats?
Money hats only!
It doesn't have hats
Here's to hoping its a great game!
What is it with gameloft and ripping off titles?
They know that these bog titles will never hit iOS, so they give us a Rip-Off of them... Which is actually nice IMO.
Let's try this again, twitter deleted my last reply. It was basically that I really enjoy the gameloft treatment. I find that their versions of the games are usually more fun to me. I had a blast with their Castlevania and their Resident Evil, and like how they actually improve on the originals (such as actually having combos in their Castlevania and letting you move, aim and shoot at the same time in their Resident Evil). Plus, their Castlevania had a more meaningful story in my opinion. Then there's having Castlevania and Resident Evil for $5 in my pocket, though I wish they'd port their Castlevania to iOS.
I'm hoping they do Phantasy Star Online next, though if we get the Vita and iOS versions over here I won't really care I suppose.
Agreed :)
It looks like mix between battlefield heroes and team fortress which is awesome because both games are very good
This game just like BATTLEFIELD HEROES from ea game !!! But the graphic are awesome
Wow.. Looks like copy of a big title from steam!
This is going to have IAPs out the hoo-ha!
I think Gameloft has reached a large enough and talented enough studio to start producing their own IP.
Large enough maybe. Not sure about the other part
True, money can't create originality.
Everything has been done now a day, and its quite hard to come with an original concept... All you can do is take what exists and reshape it...
is there any news for the duo gamer support?
AweSomE
Gameloft is now ripping off EA games, this is a new low
Actually, Gameloft is ripping off EA who ripped off the sequel of a Valve game. Pitiful.
So this is going to be a free to play? I am going to check it out!
This could be interesting. I always wanted a TF style game on iOS even though it would be torture compared to actual controls. XD I hope they make a Portal-like also. :)
If they take any money from Calve with their ripoffs I will throw the first molotov cocktail.
*Valve
this IAP crap is going to force my hand and to just get a ps vita ....I refuse to download any freemium/paymium BS... Please no one download this or any of the them so they will go back to just paid games....Wild Blood was rigged... I killed the big fat guy....his life was all the way to zero.... I had full life and was fully stocked and had to refill my life...4 times....and he still killed me....All this after he was..."dead"
The cartoon style catches my eye, I think that looks great on iOS.
The realistic gore is a huge turnoff for me. Do people really like all this blood?
Surprised Brad didn't mention all the musculature.
Definitely not one of Gameloft's more graphically impressive games, but looks fun nonetheless.
Finally Gameloft is making original titles! Looks very unique and not like anything released by Mr. Newell around 2007!!
Hahaha
Do they fight against the Russians???? Cold War is over long ago, this is so cliche now.
Gameloft? No thanks!
This is so awesome it's like playing BATTLEFIELD HEROES but on my iPod touch 5g. Gameloft y'all make the best games and also it's free :)
There are rumours that you have yo pay real money to get diamonds and u need diamonds to play matches :/
Hey look its team fortress 2!
Wonder if it's gonna go limp like TF2, with just a bunch of people waiting for crates, yawn.
Sandvich?
I have horrible news..... This game is third person o-0
On the gameplay trailer its first person
Sorry, i thought a blog said it was third person but it actually said that it was like the third person game, bettlefield heroes
Lots of people and sites are saying that you have to pay diamonds to play online after 5 matches and diamonds cost real money :( and if that isnt the case the company is gameloft ... so of course if its free to get anywere youll have to pay real money for in-app purchases
Any word on this?
Yes it is, but for some reason, my tokens cost zero diamond, and i maxed out
This game looks pretty good. It is TF2 on an app so I can't wait to see how it turns out
Hey guys good news ! There's a new app called respawnables and its free its just like Team Fortress 2 so while we wait for this game we can get the respawnables :)
But its third person shooter but still super fun !!
But its third person shooter but still really fun
Change my mind this game respawnables is shit just wait for blitz brigade no one will ever top that
This is ment to come early May
