Game Insight, 2K Mobile Games Get Into The Holiday Spirit

We’re getting close to Christmas and New Year’s Day now, and plenty of video games are getting in the spirit by dressing up their virtual worlds with snow, decorations and other seasonal goodies. Game Insight is embracing the festive atmosphere wholeheartedly, bringing a taste of the season to a bunch of its top games.

“Mystery Manor,” “The Tribez,” and “Mirrors of Albion” have already received their makeovers earlier this week, with “Airport City,” “Love and Dragons” and “Paradise Island” joining in today. Look for things like snowstorms, visits from Santa and holiday music among other features. Now if only they’d have “Tank Domination” snowball battles, we’d be all set.

Meanwhile, 2K Games is celebrating in a whole different way: by putting some of its most popular titles on sale. You can’t exactly put mobile games under the tree, but these would still make good last minute gifts for the smartphone or tablet gamer on your list.

“Sid Meier’s Ace Patrol: Pacific Skies” got discounted yesterday for PC, and will remain at $4.99 on Steam through January 2. It joins the following games getting marked down today and running through January 6 on the iOS App Store:

• “XCOM: Enemy Unknown”  – $19.99/$9.99
• “2K Drive”  – $6.99/$0.99
