Booga booga booga! It's the Halloween weekend and while sometimes app game prices are pretty scary, but not this week. No this week, in honor of the witching season game makers across the board are slashing prices, chopping the heads off their numbers, gutting their profits and otherwise making things very easy for you. So without any further ado, here's some prices that'll have you screaming.
CAPCOM has taken one of their best franchise games and cut their prices across the board. Resident Evil 4: Platinum for the iPhone has had 4 bucks ripped from its prices taking this evil shooter down to just $0.99. But then they went and did the same thing for the iPad version, hacking six dollars off the price to put it at a buck too. Not stopping there, Resident Evil Mercenaries VS, the online multiplayer title lost four dollars to a price-sucking vampire taking its platelet level all the way down to a buck too. Pick up all three titles for less than the price of one of them. But only until Halloween.
The beautiful universal dark fairy tale from Phosphor Game Studio, LLC, Dark Meadow is a stunning feast for the eyes. You wake in a hospital -- why are you here? -- but before long, you're fighting creatures in the employ of an evil witch. Solve the mystery of where you are, why your there, without getting yourself killed and maybe just maybe you might live to escape. Down from $5.99 to $2.99, this is a looker of a game, but grab it quick before the price goes back up. Who knows when it'll happen?
The Necromorphs are coming! Grab your weapons and work that strategic dismemberment before you end up a member of the undead hordes! Electronic Arts is having a monster sale on their games in honor of Halloween, but nothing quite competes with the thrill of taking down Necros. Six dollars off to bring this gruesome beauty down to $3.99 and with all the money you're saving, pick yourself up some more great games like Flight Control HD, RISK for the iPad, and more.
Electronic Arts isn't the only game studio hoisting up the price drop flag. SEGA's Altered Beast, a Genesis port to the iPhone, hear shapeshifts its price from $2.99 down to just $0.99. Rescue Athena from hordes of demons, so power up and let your inner Weretiger roar. Then check out the other games on sale from SEGA, including Golden Axe 2 and Golden Axe 3, Football Manager 2011, and ChuChu Rocket HD!
