    Yes? Thanks for the hint but I added it in the list without to realize there was an iPad version, alas not on sale.

    I prefer using the Accelerometer, But if you dont like using it, I think RR2 has a steering wheel touch control. I defiantly know RR1 does ill check RR2 Now.

    Looks like EA is taking over the AppStore with a zillion games on the top chart. Congratulations it worked~ I wonder how long would this effect last.

    I am not letting this once in a life time opportunity go to waste I have bought most of the great games from EA.

    Battlefield: Bad Company 2 $0.99
    Madden NFL 11 $0.99
    Fifa 11 $0.99
    Wolfinstein RPG $0.99
    Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit $0.99

    I am going to enjoy these games for a long time. I will also get Nova 2, Dungeon Defenders, Aralon, Shadow Guardian, and Real Racing 2 when it goes on sale, because right now I can't afford these with those high price. :p Also have a nice Christmas everyone!!! :)

    I may not even play some of the games I purchased, but for that price... I just couldn't say no. And Madden's vintage mode? HELL YES.

    Albeit I suck at it and know squat about football... meh, still. It used to be $13!! That's enough for me ;)

    I just wish EA had a few more iPad games. Or that Monopoly was on sale. But damn, how can I argue? I suck at Sim City, but I enjoy it for a few hours before I get decimated and go into enough debt to kill a horse.

    This was an insane week for my credit card. Goo, Pocket God, the PopOut books for my kids... That $25 gift card went about 2 minutes after I entered it in... yipes.

    But how can I argue? Really? This is good stuff. Even if I don't play it endlessly... even if I only play it for 20 minutes... $.99!!!

    (hint, eveyone - if you're in the US, find a good address in Oregon, no tax! And if you're in Canada, Alberta has the lowest sales tax :D Sure it may only be 10% less, but it's still less!

    Is Command and Conquer For iPad any good? A lot of the reviews say it crashes, is buggy, etc.

    That's what I was wondering. I liked it on the iPhone, but would prefer it on the iPad. I was tempted, but ever since it came out the reviews have been pretty harsh. If it was just a few I could chalk it up to people just being picky, but it seems like the majority of people have the same problems.

    At 99 cents you're not out too much if it's buggy, but it just seems like it's a given that I will experience problems with it and it's not worth it.

    iPhone to iPad Games

    I was just curious if anyone could recommend some of the iPhone titles that might work well on my iPad. Sometimes it doesn't make a huge difference, but other times it just looks awful.

    Any suggestions?

    I bought a whole slew of EA games, only iPad versions though.

    I do wish their games were integrated with Game Center. It would be nice to have the leaderboards and achievements along with maybe even online play. I'm hoping that they decide to add that feature sometime soon.

    I'm there with you. I've been heming and hawing about NBA Elite. I haven't played a good NBA game in forever...

    crap. I just bought Yahtzee and NFS: HP

    So far, I've bought:

    iPad
    Sim City
    Reckless Racing
    Madden
    Mirror's Edge
    Boggle
    Yahtzee
    NFS Shift
    NFS HP

    Adding those to my release day purchases of World of Goo and Pocket God as well as the sale prices for the 2 PopOut books released and a sale price for the Beatrix Potter collection? damn! Oh and stupid star wars falcon gunner, too... Grr.

    But comparing the purchase price of the EA games to their RETAIL prices, well... It's just not even possible to consider them in the same zip code.

    I'll tell you, I have a history of not necessiarly being on the up-and-up when it comes to "purchasing" games, but with my video games... it's a different thing. And when they put sales like this on, they can easily change someone who may have been considered slightly unscrupulous in the past to someone who is willing to lay down some money.

    I could have gotten something like Goo in an "alternate" way, but I really believe in the devs on the system, and the fact that they get 70% of my purchase? That's one area that I'm impressed with Apple..

    Anyway, I'm done with my rant. Thank you EA and other developers for allowing people who wouldn't necessarily have the cash to buy them at retail put out the bling for them now...

    I get the feeling EA games are going to skyrocket a WHOLE lot of top lists in the app store :)

    NBA elite 11 is quite fun, especially the three point shot mini game. Definitely wroth a buck.

    How's FIFA 10? Mainly the Be a Pro mode?

    Should I get X2 Soccer 2010 instead for the Dream Mode? ($1.99 sale right now)

    Looks like these EA games knocked Angry Birds right off it's perch. First time in a long time looking at the top ten and not seeing Angry Birds #1 and 2 on the top charts.

    Rage HD and Infinity Blade, and some other games have done it before. Angry Birds is cheap, playable by all ages, even appeal to women. It's not going to go down that perch easily...

    EA has however basically taken over the chart for the few days.
