Rip Off Goes FREE For The First Time

Most sites haven't covered this one yet, but at the price of... nothing, you seriously need to check out Rip Off (iPhone). It's a seriously fun little action game that liberally riffs on some of the most popular games in the App Store.

AppSmile: 4.5/5 "The Retina Display graphics have a similarly familiar look, borrowing inspiration from Patapon with its brightly colored backdrops contrasted against darkened enemy figures. Enemies have unique body types and the eggs feature artsy designs. The visuals are crisp and colorful, a delight to watch"

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.
