    Hey Guys and Gals,
    So there are TONS of games on sale this weekend and I just got a $25 gift card and was looking to spend it - not necessarily on the sale games just in general.
    I made a list of some things i was interested in and put their prices next to them let me know what is the best combination possible THANKS:
    (in no particular order...rounded up all .99 to nearest dollar too):

    Rolando 2 - $5
    Labyrinth 2 - $5
    GTA: CW - 7 (on sale)
    Angry Birds - 1 (on sale)
    Pac Man Championship Edition - 1 (on sale)
    Time Crisis - 1 (on sale)
    N.O.V.A - 7
    Jet Car Stunts - 2
    Real Racing - 5
    Hook Champ - 3 (seems expensive for what it is)
    OMG Pirates - 3
    Zen Bound - 2
    Dig Dug REMIX - 1 (on sale)
    Star Wars: The Force Unleashed - 1 (on sale)

    Note: I'm open to other suggestions too those were just a couple that caught my eye

    Sorry to burst your bubble, but you don't get exactly $25 because of taxes. You'll probably get, at most $22 -$23

    there are a lot of good games in there that i highly recommend. let me just start of and say you should get the game battle blasters. less people know about it but it is an awesome game and everyone who has it loves it. you can check the links in my signature for reviews and videos. it is really a great game. with that said, let me reduce your list to a few greats and add some more

    rolando 2
    angry birds
    labyrinth 2
    jet car stunts
    parachute ninja
    nova
    omg pirates
    broken sword

    but be sure to check out battle blasters.
     
  8. But which is better?

    When i typed the redeem code into itunes it now says I have $25 on my account which I assume, as it has been with all my previous gift card redeeming, amounts to $25 in spending - is there something i was unaware of?

    regardless I am still curious about the games I should get (see my post from before for the list)
    Thanks for the help to any and all who respond :)

    When you buy apps it takes some more money away because of taxes.

    You probably have a tax on it still. Where do you live?

    Thanks for the advice! Apparently everyone here loves Angry Birds so i'm going to HAVE to get that at the sale price and Roalndo 2 has rave reviews so I think i'm going to go for that too.
    I haven't bought battle blasters yet, it looks cool but i'm concerned about how much game play there for to justify a $3 price tag
    Oh also i've heard that TNA Wrestling and Space Ore Miner (or wtvr its called) are great anybody know about these?

    To all the people re: taxes - im in the US and I never realized that before so thanks for the enlightenment :)

    If anyone has any other suggestions i'm open the TA Forums are always my go to place for games

    Doing nothing of importance.
    Somewhere
    Katamari any good, or does it still lag to unplayable levels? I'm considering buying it while it's on sale, but if it lags too much I think I'll pass. Also, is there a mode where there's no time and you can just roll as big of a Katamari as you want until you get bored? I was playing a demo on my PS2 today and I wanted to roll up a couple objects, but there was no time to get a katamari big enough to do so, so if that's included in the iDevice version, I'll probably go for it.

    I've heard that Sonic at the Olympic games is crappy for the most part. Only 4 games, and 1 of them being actually fun from what I hear. Zenonia is a MUCH better buy, I'd say get that. Otherwise Broken Sword is on sale for 5, a great game as well. If you have COD:Zombies, Verruckt is also hard to pass up.

    Oh yeah, how's Across Age? I've heard a ton of mixed reaction about it, and I don't need any more top-down ARPG's unless they're really good or bring something new to the table (like time travel).

    So, games I'm considering:

    Katamari
    Across Age
    GTA: Chinatown Wars (although convince me that there isn't a ton of unskippable language w/o ruining story or a ton of... questionable stuff. only way I can get it)
    Shaun White (since it's only a buck)
    Zogma
