    I don't think they did, but I'd be interested to know what the cause was too.

    Anyways, I ended up buying Spider, Bit.Trip, Archetype, and Osmos during this sale. Only $5, woot :)

    Just got an email from Apple: "Big Games, Great Prices: $2.99 and Under for a Limited Time"

    So more than likely a planned marketing campaign

    Wooo it's so unpleasant to discover such details, I only receive bills from Apple and I wonder why I or my money don't worth the information... Ha yeah I know the third grade citizen syndrome. :eek:

    Thank you!

    Just a suggestion, as many people found the controls hard to get at first.

    First there's a new update coming soon with a joystick-like controller (and with Game Center support too) for all the people that don't like the slide-controller.

    Second, the slide controls are really simple:
    - longer the slide stronger the acceleration applied
    - keep touching the screen to apply acceleration continuously
    - keep touching and move the finger and you change the acceleration too.

    When you'll master it you'll find the controls are precise and pretty intuitive!

    Thank you again!

    I bought or own most of these games already, the only ones I have in question are Crash Nitro 2 and Zenonia 2... thinking about picking up one of them, which one is a better quality game?

    SALE HELP NEEDED!
    I've never heard of Osmos before this sale but apparently everyone has been picking it up...why is it so good and is it worth getting?

    I'm debating getting either Zenonia 1 or 2 I don't think i'll get both which one is better/worth getting? I've never tried this kind of game on the iPod touch before but i'm willing to give it a try at such good prices! (or Hybrid 2..they look similar)

    Geometry Wars - ok on a small screen?

    Soccer Superstars - is it fun? I've played baseball superstars 10 and enjoyed it

    Puzzle Agent - there has been buzz about this game but it doesn't look very complex any advice?

    I know this is a post with many opinion based questions but any and all help is very much appreciated thanks!

    Wow I almost missed this sales as I just didn't check for a few days. So many qualify games went on sales at the same time.

    I didn't read the whole thread but I speculate Apple is about to open the floodgate for iPhone4 supply. Virtually iPhone4 supply has been non-existence or very limited since the antennagate issue.

    These developers must have the inside story and know huge iPhone4 inventory is on its way and are working their ways to improve their app ranking....

    Whatever it is, this is truly a fantastic sales.

    So the sale probably ends today or tomorrow (assumption) so it's my last chance to get the goodies.

    I got:

    Puzzle Agent
    Mirror's Edge
    Bit.trip beat
    Super monkey ball
    Osmos

    Thinking of:

    Archetype (not much a FPS type of guy...will I still like it? I also have bad internet connection)
    Real Racing
    9 Innings pro baseball 2010
    Spider: Secret of Bryce Manor
    Hybrid 2 (I loved zenonia, not sure about this)
    Chuzzle
    MLB Power Pros Touch

    So yeh! or Meh...?
