Paramount Digital Entertainment has reduced the price of iPhone flying shooter Iron Man: Aerial Assault [App Store]. The game has dropped from $4.99 to $0.99 for a limited time.
We took a look at Iron Man: Aerial Assault back in mid-December.
Iron Man: Aerial Assault is an on-rails shooter that is more or less a modern take on the 1985 Sega arcade classic Space Harrier. Equipped with a variety of weapons, the player guides the accelerometer-controlled Iron Man through wave after wave of enemies and bosses of increasing complexity. The goal? Destroy everything and remain intact. (Where have we heard that before?)
While it’s true that Iron Man for the iPhone is a rather more limited outing as compared to the PSP version, it nonetheless offers solid 3D shooter action.

Sweet, gonna try this out.
iGotchi?
ever heard of that one?
Yikes — I'm having to hide the screen from my daughter as though it were hardcore pr0n or something. If she finds out there's a Tamagochi game for the iPhone, then I'm going to have to get her one.
(OK, not really. I'm not that kind of dad, fortunately. But there would be wailing and rending of garments and such. Beware the wrath of the ten-year-old.)
Quick update for those between the ages of 15 and 35: Yes, Tamagochi made their first appearance ten years ago, and soon thereafter fell into the limbo of expired fad gadgets. But they reappeared, maybe four years ago, with slightly fancier features and an external hi-res mythos, and have been selling like hotcakes again. My daughter got addicted in a major way in 3rd grade; it's been in remission for a while, but could easily return.
@Jens - thanks for the update. I have to admit my last real exposure to Tamagotchi was in the initial incarnation. I'm not at all familiar with this new version.
please make this available in australia and any other countries where it is not. why wouldn't it be available? why don't they want my money? please somebody explain...
This app is horrible. Nothing like the original Tamagotchis at all. You do not even take care of the Tamagotchi in this game. You basically feed a plant and play with a water spitting geyser. Horrible. Bring back the original in a app. I would pay for that one
