9 Innings: Pro Baseball for $0.99

It seems like every Korean developer on iOS needs to have their own flagship baseball sim. For example, Com2US, the Chronicles of Inotia developers, have the 9 Innings series. And today, you can get the 2009 version of 9 Innings: Pro Baseball (iPhone) for just slightly more than I'd bet on my hometown's own Pittsburgh Pirates winning the World Series this year.

TheAppEra: Favorable "9 Innings is a good one. There is room for improvement, but it’s worth a gander due to the home run derby and missions to accomplish. I love baseball, played a few on my iPhone already, this one lives up to the hype by far over the competition."

Appolicious: 3/5 "The game's strength is in its gameplay. It is definitely a fun baseball game. There are tons of stats to check out and the missions add a rewarding element to the app beyond just winning a game. The different modes definitely maximize replayability and the homerun derby is also tons of fun."

How Do I Decide What Sales To Cover?

This blog is geared toward the hardcore bargain-hunter looking for the best sales out there, on the best games on the App Store. Generally, iOS games tend to drop to either $0.99 or free eventually, if not very quickly after their release. As such, I do not generally cover sales that aren't at either of those price points, unless the game is clearly well reviewed, highly polished, and has never dropped below its current "sale" price.

Furthermore, if a game is on sale for $0.99 but has been free several times in the past, I'll wait until it goes free again before posting about it. Why needlessly spend your hard-earned dough when you probably have a backlog of 50 games anyway?

Finally, a note about reviews: For a paid game, I look for a game that has been generally critically acclaimed among independent, reputable review websites. Review websites I may use include Eurogamer, SlideToPlay, 148Apps, AppSpy, and so forth, but not "Billy Bob's iPhone Review Blog"-quality sites. For free games, my standards are a little more lax, since all they cost you is a bit of (temporary?) hard drive space.

Oh, and one more thing: I absolutely, positively DO NOT accept money, free copies of games, or anything else that might influence my inclination to post about a game, ever.
