Sales: Rockstar on iOS, Wii U indies, and Darksiders
The holiday season is replete with sales and I am tired of writing about them so here’s a very brief round up. Amazon has the entire Darksiders franchise on PC for $13.20 – that includes both games and DLC. Rockstar has put every iOS game except Grand Theft Auto: Vice City on sale for 99¢, which is a particularly good price for Chinatown Wars, normally $10.
