Carl Williams writes, "Classic titles are classics for a reason. They are usually not convoluted like current titles are. Controls are simpler, the game in general is often more direct and they are easily picked up and played. Choplifter is one such classic that was released at the right time in gaming.

Triverse writes, "Since Google has yet to implement an option for publishers to offer their apps and games for free on a limited time basis. This is possibly going to change since they are allowing magazine publishers to do just that.

These are limited time sales and we do not know how long the sale will last so grab them while you can."
Games are discounted for one week on iTunes, Steam, Mac App Store, Android digital stores and more starting October 15th
... why are almost all new downloadable games so expensive?
It just means that it stops being an impulse buy and starts being an actual purchase, and for that kinda money I can pick up a great retailgame from the bargainbins, like Deus Ex 3 or GT5 or whatever.
I wish they'd be a bit more realistic with their pricing for these games.
I agree with you, it may be a fun game, but at $15 I feel like it better be worth it or I got screwed. If I dropped $5 or even $8 and its not that good, the thinking is its only $5 and next time dont be so impulsive. That's why I like the PS+ service, alot of times those games get the discount and I'll make the quick buy. At $15+ I'm looking for reviews, gameplay footage, then I'm still wondering. At the lower $$ I'll probably say "screw it lets just check it out"
