Three Notable Sales: SMB, Boulder Dash Rocks, and Rolando

Sales are very common in the App Store, and some of them just happen to be some high profile games.  Today, 3 games went on sale, and each one is very much worth their sale price in my opinion.  Let’s take a closer look at these games to see which one is for you.

Super Monkey Ball:  The game is now $3.99 from the initial $5.99, and it’s probably the only game SEGA has made right on the iPhone.  $3.99 is still a bit high, but the game includes 100s of levels, and the controls aren’t as bad as everyone says they are.

Boulder Dash Rocks:  Following the release of the classic Boulder Dash on the iPhone, First Star Software has released a completely re-skinned game on the iPhone.  Consumer reports have been overwhelmingly positive, and for $0.99, it’s definitely a steal.  Note: It seems like the price change has not taken full effect yet, please wait a few until the price change shows up.

Rolando:  One of the most original titles in the App Store, Rolando is definitely a must have at the $2.99 sale price.  Originally released for $9.99, the game was praised for its multitouch controls and great puzzle elements.  There’s also a lite version to try out, but personally, just go ahead and buy the full version.

Each of the games mentioned is worth the sale price, but if you’re on a tight budget, I suggest you get Rolando and Boulder Dash Rocks.  Both have proven to be great titles on the iPhone, and while Super Monkey Ball is still a great title, the $3.99 price tag may be a little high for some people.

    I think Rolando 2 is better than Rolando in every aspect, but it’s still worth a playthrough for newcomers to the series. Plus+ support is coming soon too.
