Gameloft’s looking set for putting up most of their titles into the Top Paid Apps list. They have been doing some price revisions on their games – the latest being a price drop for Assassin’s Creed: Altair’s Chronicles as well as a crazy sale for Siberian Strike.

Assassin’s Creed debuted in the iTunes Store for a premium price of $9.99 a copy, but the game can now be had for a price of only $5.99. We previously discussed about this game, which seemed to fit the bill for fans of the also-popular console game.

Siberian Strike made its appearance in the iTunes Store at $5.99 on April 30, 2009. Six days later, it was dropped by a dollar to $4.99. As of this moment, the game is climbing steadily towards the top of the list with a limited time offer of only $0.99 each. An old title resurrected for the modern times, the game features high quality graphics and sound effects. For less than a buck, it’s a steal.

Get both must-have titles from the iTunes Store before they return to their original selling prices.

Assassin’s Creed – $5.99 (iTunes link)
Siberian Strike – $0.99 (iTunes link)

Origin8 has just sent us news that Sentinel, their sci-fi tower defense game, has been updated and is now live in the iTunes Store. The update brings the game to version 1.4 and is a free update for those who have purchased the game. Also, to celebrate this new release, the game will be going on sale (again) for a very limited time period at just $0.99.

Sentinel version 1.4 provides for an additional pack of new content and features to an already acclaimed title.

Your mission on Mars is far from over – the implacable aliens aren’t giving up just yet. Key features of version 1.4:

• New map added, Last Stand – defend your escape shuttle from the vicious hordes as you evacuate the Martian colony!
• New Ion Tower with a fresh set of powers – does damage to both ground and air targets over time
• New Duo-Cranium Mutant – a ground enemy unit that is immune to slow damage and attacks in a charge
• Power barrier – keep this standing at all costs – it blocks the second entry to the level
• Drones can now be toggled to concentrate on repairing barriers or harvesting
• Optional in-game music – switch between this or your iTunes music library
• Difficulty settings tuned – Easy and Medium levels are more forgiving, while Hard and Pyscho gets tougher than ever
• More powerful top level upgrades for some towers
• Highscore submission security fixes – cheaters go away!
• Bugfixes and game balancing

Online highscores table has been completely separated to accomodate the new version. Worry not, the old highscore table is still available for those who has not upgraded. New scores will appear in the new table, so brag about it while you can.

If you are a fan of tower defense games and would love to take on the challenge with a different twist, then grab the game while it is still hot! We reviewed the game back in March and gave it a stunning 4.5/5.0 Taps.

Get Sentinel from the iTunes Store, currently on sale at only $0.99. If you already have the game, then check the iTunes Store and grab the update. Enjoy!
