Glu holds 59p/99c Memorial Day sale – Glyder 2, Beat it! and others going cheap

| Glyder 2

In case you don't know, as I didn't before consulting Wikipedia, Memorial Day – which occurs on the last Monday of May – commemorates American military personnel who have died in the line of duty since the 1861-65 civil war.

That's more than a million men and women. The American Civil War was the bloodiest, with an average of 600 deaths every day, while the much-chronicled Second World War comes a fairly distant second, with 416. At the other end of the spectrum, the War on Terror takes a small but significant total of two American lives every day.

What better way to commemorate these fallen heroes than with an iPhone game sale?

Glyder 2 has already been on sale for a week, but Glu is a master of the art of peggling (i.e., selling games for 59p to stimulate sales) and it's given several of its other titles the same treatment.

The full list of available games, (very) roughly in order of importance and value for money, is as follows. They're all 59p/99c, and, interestingly enough, the iPad versions where applicable are also on sale for the same price.
