    I haven't played Game Dev story yet but it's no longer on sale and I'd imagine that it will eventually go on sale again for $.99. Phoenix Wright, however, is an incredibly huge point and click adventure that has absolutely amazing stories in all of the cases. It seriously is a steal at $1.99 as you're talking about a ported DS game that has probably 25 hours of gameplay.

    .

    if i had to pick one and only play it once, i'd pick phoenix wright but as a whole, game dev story will offer more replayability.

    both games are spectacular and you should probably get both at some point, but which first is really a toss up. can't go wrong either way.

    i've only gotten chu chu rocket. nothing by these mega-producers ever really appeals to me and anything else i already have. game dev story and jet car stunts are exceptional, and i've had some fun with bit.trip beat. the gamevil games are apparently pretty solid titles but i haven't played any of them. i also haven't played any of the 99 games' titles, but i gather there is some good meat in there as well.

    i'm a little underwhelmed tool, but i think people that frequent these forums have a different perspective than some of the more casual app store customers and i'd imagine for them, this is a gold mine.

    i'm still hoping for some more new sales, but we'll see...i have so much stuff i haven't touched for more than a couple minutes to catch up on before the 2 biggies come out that a little break could be welcome.

    EDIT: FWIW, i did pick up wispin last night and it's brilliant. that and silverfish are both at introductory prices, so they aren't really on sale, but getting them now would save you money and both are AWESOME.

    Looks like I was wrong and that it went back up to $4.99 already. Still is a huge game for only $5.

    he's right, but like a few other people said, all of them have some issues. if you are hellbent on getting a football title, madden is the best...but that really isn't saying much. they're all quite rough. at best.

    Agreed. Nothing I want is going on sale. There's still hope though, Black Friday is tomorrow and there's still Cyber Monday. There might still be sales.

    I know I meant that I wouldn't be surprised if it does go down to $.99 sometime within the next few months.

    The first step is admitting you have a problem :D

    Admitted it many months ago. I guess I'm an app collector, only playing about 3-5 new games a month out of the 20+ I buy.

    Haha. I have the same problem but it sounds like yours is much worse than mine. I feel like I'm finally actually putting a dent into the unplayed paid games I have on my device.

    Was wondering if I should get a PAC-MAN and a sims game in the sales. If so which ones?

    Also are assassins creed altars chronicles, crash kart 2 and zenonia worth it?

    Is there any good SIM game (probably Game Dev Story quality), that is preferably on sale now?
