THQ holds limited time 59p sale for iPhone and iPad

Han Solo wasn't present for the first wave of the assault on the Death Star. While the battle raged he was flying off into the void to enjoy his newly obtained wealth.

But his wookie made him feel guilty, so he turned around and joined the fray just in time to save Luke Skywalker from Darth Vader's crosshairs.

Exactly mirroring this fictional sequence of events in real life, THQ - which declined to join its many rivals on iPhone and iPad when they held a Christmas sale last month - has just turned up, guns blazing, with a sale of its own.

Amongst the titles up for grabs is augmented reality shoot-'em-up Falcon Gunner, Star Wars: Cantina, and tower defence outing, Battle for Hoth.

Not a Star Wars fan? Puzzle adventure game, Chop Sushi! HD and Prison Tycoon have also been treated to a price cut.

All additions to this iPhone and iPad sale are now priced at 59p / 99c.
