iOS News: 2K Games Discount 6 Games for iPhone and iPad for Chinese New Year
Video game publisher 2K is offering six different games at a special discounted price in honor of the Chinese New Year on iOS devices. These titles will be available in the Apple app store for special prices until Feb. 3, so iPhone, iPad, and iPod users should jump at the chance to pick up these games while they are on sale.
The highlight of this sale is XCOM: Enemy Unknown, which is on sale for $9.99, as opposed to its normal price of $19.99. This critically-acclaimed console and PC title was a smash hit when it was first released, and critics and gamers fell in love with the tactical shooter. The iOS version of the game is held in equally high regard, as the turn-based shooter lends itself well to touchscreens and allows users to contemplate their moves without worrying about getting their inputs on the touchscreen wrong and potentially make a fatal flaw.
Another worthy title to check out during 2K's sale is Sid Meier's Pirates, which has been discounted from $4.99 down to $1.99. This classic title offers a full game's worth of fun on a handheld and is highly addictive for fans of the developer's unique style of games. Another series created by Meier, Civilization, is part of this deal as well. Civilization Revolution, though not as good as other entries in the series, is a bargain at $1.99 (down from $2.99).
A pair of sports games on iOS created by 2K is also part of this sale. NBA 2K14 is normally $7.99, but until Feb. 3 users can buy the game for just $3.99. For hockey fans, NHL 2K11 is on sale for $1.99 as opposed to $4.99. Both games are good options for fans of a basketball or hockey teams that have failed to meet their expectations for the season so far.
Finally, 2K Drive, which normally costs $6.99 to download on iOS devices,is available for just 99 cents. This huge deal should be taken advantage of; sales such as this do not come along very often. Apple users should ring in the year of the Horse the right way and celebrate with one of these six discounted games.
