EA sale on games - $0.99

[jdCaptivate]

Was just browsing the market and updating apps, when I saw the notice on Tetris. 4 EA games, for $0.99 each. Picked up 2/4 of them, as FIFA Soccer has horrid reviews.

The games are

Need for Speed: SHIFT
Tetris
The Sims 3
FIFA Soccer

Tetris is owned by EA?

Thanks for the heads up.

Huh? Isn't Tetris owned by atari?

Fifa 10 is fun. Just press longer on the menu buttons to get them to work. NFS>Asphalt

 

[drapacioli]

Thanks! Just picked up TS3 and NFS

Thanks for the heads-up! Just downloaded NFS:Shift. Sweet racer for 99c

Need for Speed told me that the game was not approved for my phone 16 minutes after I purchased it due to the size of the download. Do you need to have Froyo to have that game installed? No refund for me.

EDIT: Reinstalled it and it works now.

I went ahead and got FIFA, just because it was so cheap. But I have to agree with most of the reviews. Controls are very difficult.

Fifa Soccer also causes my phone to reboot randomly when I play it. It is a DroidX at stock speeds. Thumbs down for that!

thought of getting it but the reviews I saw seemed to target the Captivate as not playing well with it. I guess at 99 cents it's a cheap gamble. Might give it a shot...

LOL not really a gamble... just get a refund if you don't like it.

from my understanding your 15 minute window begins at download. So subtract the time it takes to download, set up and start playing the refund window will have closed. Also, I've read a few people who had to try downloading (installing) a few times before it'd work.

I don't mind throwing a dollar here or there to private game/app makers because then even if I don't like it or it doesnt work I'm at least contributing to their development fund. EA's already got tons of my money. But, like I said it's just a buck. =P

It helps if you turn wi-fi on before you download it. I bought NFS Shift and it downloaded super quick. I still agree that the 15min return window is bogus though.

Don't know how/why people are having problems on the Captivate, with NFS. Runs perfect.
