    This is definitaly an awesome round of sales by ea. Not to stray to far off topic but i wonder how gameloft will respond. Because in my opinion their game are lacking compared to ea's. What could gameloft discount in response to awesome games like deadspace hd going for .99 ? I guess mcs 2 but graphicaly ive read it looks horrible on an ipad.

    Dead Space is now downloadable.

    It looks like EA is discounting games that aren't on the list, I'll update as needed.

    I figured I would end up getting both versions...I might get back into iPhone gaming, hopefully iPhone 5 will have a bigger screen.

    Just got Max and the Magic Marker. This game is amazing with really smooth animations, nice art style, and fun gameplay...got to the 6th level and I highly recomend this one from what I've played. I wish more companies would pump out a lot of top quality games like EA does on the iPad/iPhone

    Picked up Dead Space and NBA Jam. Still pondering Tiger '12. Any other suggestions? Max seems a bit . . . I don't know. I'm just not sure it interests me.

    To anyone wondering, my top 5 for EA's sale are:
    -Dead Space
    -NBA Jam
    -Fight Night Champion
    -FIFA 11
    -Tiger Woods PGA Tour 12

    Max and the Magic Marker takes honorable mention and doesn't make my top 5 for EA's games only because it's normally already very cheap. Enjoy the sale guys. These are some of the best games on the iOS, no doubt. Wow, it's shocking how many people never picked up the best single-player experience on the iOS, Dead Space, until now..

    I just downloaded Max and I like it! If you need to reach a high platform, you can draw things to reach it. eg: I might draw a ramp and then run up it. Or I could choose to draw steps and then climb up them. Or perhaps draw a bridge from another platform and run across it. If you draw a sloping line, Max slides down it. I'm looking forward to seeing what else I can draw.

    Fair enough, it might not be your type of game, but if anyone else is considering it; it's actually fun and worth more than a dollar!

    It's like a game of chess. Both companies will be watching the other closely.

    We're all lucky to get these holiday sales!

    They can't. All of their titles have already seen the $0.99 price point save MC2. Plus, Gameloft has sales way too often for that matter. Used to be the biggest Gameloft fan, but now they just feel so washed up. Their single player experiences are just horrible and ruin how well all of their multiplayer games that work so well. Can't wait to see how they perform on O&C though. Their multiplayer system never disappoints.

    I thought the same thing too.
    But 99c, why not I said and I'm loving the game.

    I don't like a lot of those drawing physics games but this one is an exception. It's mostly an old style Sonic platformer (go suck it Mario :p) but with some well done physics and ability to draw what you want to reach the goals. It's super fun and there's interesting things like there's a broken fire hydrant shooting water up and you have to draw a surf board to glide on it.

    Top sales pick:

    Dead Space HD
    Dead Space
    Max & The Magic Marker
    NBA Jam
    Reckless Racing HD

    Reckless Racing HD doesn't have multiplayer does it? It seems EA is really lacking in GC integration and online multiplayer in all of their games.

    I don't know about the iPhone version, but the iPad version of Reckless Racing has online multiplayer for up to 4 people

    It has multiplayer. EA and Gameloft both tend to avoid GC. They like using their own servers. They work much better anyways.
