Here's Some QuakeCon iPhone News

Wolfenstein RPG out now! Other cheap id games on the App Store! Not sure why I'm exclaiming this news!

Buy it for cheap! 
Buy it for cheap! 
id Software has made pretty clear its warm fuzzy feelings about the iPhone over the last year, so a smattering of iPhone-related news was no surprise at QuakeCon.

For starters, an upgraded version of the mobile-based Wolfenstein RPG has hit the iPhone's App Store a little early this week. The game has higher-resolution artwork than the one that's been available on mobile phones so far. From the footage I saw, it's the same sort of concept as the Doom RPG and Orcs & Elves, with turn-based movement and combat with a sort of pseudo-FPS presentation.

You could also wait till this weekend, when Wolfenstein 3D (the shooter) and the newish Doom Resurrection will both be on sale on the App Store. Wolf is down to 99 cents from $2.99, and Doom drops more than 30 percent from $10 to $2.99.

These prices are only good till Sunday, so get 'em while the getting's good. Is this a sign of slow sales for these games? A bid to get them featured in the App Store's lucrative most-popular list? Who knows--but who can argue with cheap games?
