Bloomberg reports that Apple has opened up a new class of App Store offerings, allowing game publisher Big Fish Games to offer a monthly subscription package that will allow provide users with access to a number of the company's games through a dedicated iPad app.

The setup is similar to Netflix Inc. (NFLX)'s streaming application for the iPad. Subscribers can get unlimited access to games such as "Mystery Case Files" and the "Mahjong Towers" series from inside the Big Fish app.

Games played through the subscription service, which are streamed to a user's iPad from Big Fish's data centers, will initially require Wi-Fi access to play.

The standard package from Big Fish Games will launch as a $4.99 monthly subscription, increasing to $6.99 per month early next year as more game titles become available for the app. A free ad-supported option limiting play to 30 minutes per day will also be available.

Chair Entertainment's mucho-celebrated and super popular hack-and-slash RPG, Infinity Blade, is on sale right now for $2.99. We're not sure if it's on the cheap because of Black Friday, Thanksgiving or the latest surge of mentions courtesy Infinity Blade 2 coverage, but hey, that's not what's important here. The fact that it's three dollars cheaper and also an awesome game seems like the jucier material at the moment.

We're pretty sure 99 percent of you know, own, and probably dig Infinity Blade, so for you one percent-ers out there? Do yourself a favor: buy this game. Also, keep your heads on a swivel because Infinity Blade 2 is almost here. The follow-up is due out on December 1 and will carry a $6.99 price tag, which is the first game's usual price plus one. So far, it seems fantastic.

Surprise! Gameloft is holding a sale in honor of Thanksgiving. For a limited time, the studio is tossing out the regular price of a select 20 of its titles and lowering them to an agreeable ninety-nine cents. It wouldn't be a seasonal break without this kind of slash-and-burn sale from the mega publisher, so we're pretty relieved Gameloft stepped up and confirmed this year's Thanksgiving week. Thanks, guys!

Oh! And what's up for grabs? Surprisingly, a few uber-popular titles. Price of Persia: Warrior Within, Splinter Cell Conviction, and its Zelda clone Sacred Odyssey: Rise of Ayden are all on the list with a few other notables. Check it out:

Com2Us is getting in on the Thanksgiving slash Black Friday action, too. Starting now and, presumably, rolling until early next week, a smattering of titles in the studio's massive App Store catalogue have been reduced to a hair under a buck. What this means for your wallet is savings. Also, a heavier load. Poor little guy.

Among the biggest and brightest titles on sale is Homerun Battle 3D. If you grabbed that one of the billions of other times it's been up for a discount, don't dispair: Inotia 3, Tower Defense: Lost Earth, and Puzzle Family are all great games and involved in this price-slashing endeavor. Here's the list:
