TUAW's Daily App: SimCity
So, why are we spotlighting it today? Along with most of EA's iPhone titles, its price has dropped down to just 99 cents. So, if you haven't picked it up yet, now's the time to do so (and it'll give you something to play on your brand new iPhone this week). Other titles to check out at just a buck, if you haven't gotten them yet, include Need for Speed, Command and Conquer, FIFA 10, Madden 10, Tiger Woods PGA Tour, and the classic Dragon's Lair. Just think, buying them all will set you back $7, the same price as the full Rock Band title.

I probably don't need to explain SimCity to you; it's one of the most classic PC games of all time, and Electronic Arts released it for...

Looks like the sale in only in the US app store (or at least C&C is not on sale in the NZ one).

I'm getting sick of using FullForce on Trivial Pursuit... it makes the board full screen, but the questions and such still only occupy an iPhone-sized corner of the screen.

June 23 2010 at 10:38 AM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyIf you read the reviews on the app store, this game crashes like crazy. Not worth the frustration in my book. And it looks like EA's not doing anything about it, they haven't updated it in a while.
June 23 2010 at 8:51 AM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyI read reviews about it crashing too, but downloaded it anyway. I've had the game for as long as I've had my 3GS, about a year, and it has never crashed on me. It works surprisingly well on the platform, seriously addictive!

It's worth 99 cents. Not the five bucks I paid.
huh .. a sale .. count me in!
just picked up pretty much every title ..

Right now it's 99 cents. EA is having a 48 hour sale. Not sure when it started, though.
