Game Downloads

When I first visited the Game Downloads at Amazon, almost all the games were $4.99 or $6.99 when not on sale. In those early days, they also had a lot of free and under $1 games. Now, they are adding some more expensive titles, for more complex games. Four of them are currently on sale for $4.99, marked down from $19.99, while another is marked at $3.49, down from $9.99.
