Gameloft launches $0.99 BlackBerry PlayBook game sale, including Modern Combat 2

Gameloft BlackBerry PlayBook sales

Coinciding with an iOS Chinese New Year promotion, Gameloft now has a bunch of their excellent BlackBerry PlayBook games on sale for $0.99 a pop. These include Asphalt 6, UNO, Star Front: Collision, Modern Combat 2, and Eternal Legacy.

Gameloft started pumping out a bunch of PlayBook titles this fall, and the quality is second only to EA's titles. Even then, sometimes Gameloft is much more open about doing "homages" to other popular games than EA. Asphalt 6 is a good pick if you've already played the preloaded Need for Speed to death. The familiarity of UNO will be a welcome sight for those looking for something a little more casual. I've put some time into Star Front: Collision, and as a guy who had spent a healthy chunk of high school playing StarCraft, it was a great addition to my PlayBook.

Modern Combat 2 is a clear spiritual descendent of the Modern Warfare series on consoles, and it manages to do pretty well, especially with the multiplayer support. I'm still not sold on the control scheme, but I'd be willing to give it another serious shot once the iOS version of Modern Combat 3 gets ported over to the BlackBerry PlayBook Finally, Eternal Legacy is a classic Final Fantasy-style role-playing game, I haven't had the itch to play those kind of games in awhile, but it's great to have the option there.

Gameloft has also slashed prices on a few other games to $2.99, including Spider-man: Total Mayhem, N.O.V.A. 2, and Let's Golf 2. Normally most of Gameloft's PlayBook games go for $6.99, so this is quite the deal - get 'em while they're hot!

Modern Combat was cool and I liked the controls. I did think the ending was a bit of a letdown though.

The ending is downright lame.

Maybe I'll buy Asphalt 6. The rest I either already have or don't have any interest in (like shooter games, not my style). Loved Eternal Legacy, though, and I paid the full $7 for it, so I definitely recommend that to anybody who likes RPG's.

Let me know when lets golf is 99cents, with all these gameloft titles they always eventually drop to 99cents, which I have no complaints about :)

careful..some purchasers state they've been charged $6.99 on their credit card....could the "0" be a typo?

Sigh; having bought each of these games at full price, I'm sad. Oh well - still its good to see. My only question would be when are we going to finally see new Gameloft games coming to the Playbook?

Then again, it might be nice for Gameloft to actually acknowledge they publish games for the Playbook seeing how their website indicates that they do not.

Just bought Modern Combat 2, pretty cool!

Just bought Lets Golf 2, it crashes on the dev build OS 2.0.0.7111. Hope they fix it for the full OS 2 release :-( Reading the reviews the Spiderman game also crashes it seems.

FYi,

Star Front: Collision has crappy sound/music on OS 2.0. It sounds like the audio is skipping. If you can play without sound, this is a non-issue I suppose.

Eternal Legacy Won't even load with OS 2.0. After clicking the icon, it goes to a white screen for about 5 seconds, then closes.

Asphalt 6, Modern Combat, NOVA2 all work fine.
