For a limited time you can grab the original Infinity Blade for just 99 cents. The RPG was the first proper game to show off how well the Unreal Engine runs on iDevice, and although surpassed by its sequel, is still one of the finest games for your smartphone. Especially for a buck; it normally goes for around $6 depending on territory.

A post on the Epic Games forums identifies and promises a fix for users experiencing problems on older Apple devices. Only iPad 1 and iPod Touch devices seem to be affected, and even then, only if a large number of apps are installed, due to a problem with how icons are cached. Chair promises a quick fix, and in the meantime, recommends players restart their device before playing.

Thanks, 1UP.

Cliff Bleszinski’s told Epic fans to keep eyes open for a new game reveal from Chair, the firm’s wholly-owned developer in Utah.

“Our partners at Chair in Utah are working on a product that we’re going to be announcing at some point in the near future which is very, very cool,” the developer said in the latest Major Nelson podcast.

“We have our partners at People Can Fly in Poland working on some great stuff. We’re working on things internally – I feel that I’ve got five balls up in the air that I’m juggling right now,” he added.

“It’s an incredibly exciting time. Keep your ears peeled in the next year. There’s going to be a lot of great announcements.”

Epic bought Chair in May last year.

Bleszinski was talking at GDC last week.
