Chaos Rings and Sonic 2 out, Square Enix games on sale

Square Enix has released their Chaos Rings game that we heard about a while ago. At US$13.99, it's one of the most expensive iPhone (not iPad -- yet) games you'll find, but the reviews are terrific so far. The game appears to be a classic Square Enix title, complete with great graphics, a deep storyline and a tight battle system. I haven't gotten a chance to try it yet, but it definitely looks intriguing, and if the game matches up to the hype, we could have a new bar set on Apple's handheld platform.

To celebrate, Square Enix is putting all of their other games on sale, including dropping Final Fantasy 1 and 2 down to $7 each. If you've been waiting to pick up one of their other titles, now's your chance, and maybe you can add the money you save into the price of the new game.

And finally, Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is now out from Sega for the iPhone. Unfortunately, the game uses the same Sega emulator as all of their other games, so it's not exactly glitch-free or polished gameplay. Still, it's playable, and it's definitely the second Sonic game, recreated on the smaller screen. You can pick it up for $5.99.

We just did a 1400 word review for Chaos Rings and had a much different conclusion than most reviewers (who loved it). Take a look if you want to see a different viewpoint before dropping 13 bucks.

I really want to get this, but $12.99 is a lot for a game. Plus, I've been burned in the past by expensive games going cheap shortly after release (rock band) so I think I'll wait for the inevitable price drop/sale.

Square Enix games only go on sale when they release a new one. If you don't get it now you can expect it to drop $2-3 for a week the next time they release a game.

Bummer that the Sega Genesis emulator appears to be dead. I guess individual apps get more attention, traffic, and purchases than in-app buys.

Glad to see some non-hate towards Sonic 2. The emulator isn't as bad as some of the whiners say, and in my mind, the price of a burrito is about right for an old platform game.

Yeah... I was really looking forward to the "ultimate genesis collection" on the iPhone... It was supposed to be released in February, but that came and went with no games in sight.

Oh well...
