To celebrate the ending of Winter and hopefully the temperatures rising, Crescent Moon Games has announced their “End of Winter” sale featuring a good number of their iOS titles available at a discounted price. Getting things started, three well-known titles from the Crescent Moon Games — Strike Wing, Neon Shadow, and Mimpi — are on sale for free, two of which are their first time. Adding onto that, five other games have been discounted to either $0.99 or $1.99, which is still very good considering the sheer amount of quality and gameplay time that’s comes with the game. For those currently on the fence about picking up any of the games mentioned below, we highly recommend you do, any sales or discounts from Crescent Moon Games don’t come very often. You’ll also need to take into account that the “End of Winter” sale ends tomorrow, so there isn’t much time left as well. But without any further to do, here’s the full list of games included:

• Strike Wing – Free
• Neon Shadow – Free
• Mimpi – Free
• Clash of Puppets – $0.99
• Topia World Builder – $0.99

Looking to improve our coverage of MacWorld this year, we are turning to our readers for your feedback on what you would like to see more of from us while we cover the event. With last year being our first time at MacWorld, we ran into a few difficulties and troubles along the way but still managed to do the best we can. If you happen to recall, we were able to cover the main event with Ashton Kutcher and Josh Gad on the Jobs movie along with pictures from the expo floor and around MacWorld. Wanting to further improve our coverage and give you the best experience possible, we’ve constructed a poll that you can vote on which we will take into consideration. Ranging from more pictures, interviews, tech talk roundups or anything else, we want to hear your feedback. Unlike last year though, there’s no “main stage event”, so we’ll do our best cover as many tech talks as possible.

In other news, if you’re a developer or reader and want to schedule a meet up, be sure to check out our announcement article. We have a feeling that MacWorld 2014 will be a huge step up from last year, plus from various reports and emails there’s a good chance that we’ll see more vendors compared to last year.
