Rogue Planet is on sale for free – normally $4.99
Edit: Looks like Rogue Planet’s sale is over :( We’ll be on the lookout for the next sale when it pops up over the next few days.
As a continuation of Gameloft’s 10th Anniversary Happy Hour, their fun, polished and turn-based gem of a strategy game is on sale for the awesome price of free. This is a whole lot of gameplay offered at an unbelievable value, so it would probably be wise to take Gameloft up on this nice Thursday pick-me-up we’ve been offered.

Theseus is on sale for free – normally $2.99
Theseus is a fiendishly addictive and all-around superb puzzle game. Taken from the app store description: “Theseus is a refreshing twist on the traditional maze.”. And frankly, Theseus is personally one of the most enjoyable app store puzzlers I’ve seen in a while, if not my new all time favorite.
The game is at heart a logic puzzle, and involves lots of strategy and thought. Its 85 levels will keep a persistent gamer busy for a long time, so don’t expect to get much done for the few hours after downloading this app. It’s sleek user interface and easy-on-the-eyes game play is icing on the cake.
These kinds of apps don’t go on sale every day, so its highly recommended (I’m begging) that you head on over to the app store, grab Theseus, and enjoy some quality time with one of the top puzzlers on the app store.

- And also, Theseus also boasts one of the best tutorials I've seen in any game, especially helpful for a moron like me.

Both these games are on sale for free – normally $.99
If you’re an old fart like me and were born in the 1970s, chances are you remember this game well! Like touchGrove says, “it’s just like you remember” …beeping sounds and button clicks and all. LED Football and LED Football 2 are both hilarious blasts from the past that are 100% right on the money.
In case you’ve never played, the difference between the two is that LED Football 2 lets you pass the ball as well as backpedal in case you run into a wall of opposing dashes, I mean, players. The original game only lets you run forward.
If you loved playing these games when you were a kid, get them right now!! And if you’re too young to have played them 30 years ago, grab at least one of them so you can get a firsthand taste of what mobile entertainment was like in the Stone Ages.

If you only get one of these apps, get LED Football 2!

FYI, 'feed television' usually means podcasts
Tubulous 2 is on sale for free – normally $1.99
Yay, another way to waste valuable time at work and school! Tubulous 2 bills itself as “the world’s largest feed television network”… read that carefully… “feed television”, which means a lot of video podcasts, plus there are some audio podcasts mixed in, plus some content providers do provide real TV shows that you can watch. I was just watching NBC Nightly News via Tubulous, for instance, and it was their actual broadcast from the other day.
Tubulous 2 categorizes video content and search is also available, and even though it crashed on me a couple times after installing it seemed to stabilize and was very watchable during the short test I just conducted on it here on my couch. Will it work on 3G? I dunno, but I wouldn’t count on it since most video content apps seem pretty spotty on anything but wifi.
If you’re looking for some “feed television”, give Tubulous 2 a try while it’s free.

Spikey’s Bounce Around is on sale for free – normally $.99-$1.99
If you’ve ever taken a peek at the growing catalog of app store titles from Donut Games, you already know that these guys got some, uh, “mad skillz”! Their games are polished and slick, and Spikey’s Bounce Around is no exception.
The object of this quirky puzzle game is to release all the poor butterflies from their glass jars by launching Spikey in various directions to knock out the vegetation that’s supporting the jars. When Spikey makes obstacles disappear, the jars fall and eventually break when they hit a solid surface.
As with nearly all puzzle games, I suck hard at this one and still can’t get past Level 8. Gameplay is simple… just touch, aim, and release… so it’s easy to learn and really, really hard to master. Games of this quality don’t go on sale every day, so if you’re up for some fun and frustration, get bouncin’ for free while you can!
P.S. Btw, Donut’s Traffic Rush is also on sale for free… and has been since November 30th. I haven’t played it, but it looks promising.

Helichicken is on sale for free – normally $.99
Here’s a quirky little no-brainer of a game for you… just touch your iPhone’s screen to make Helichicken go up, release to let him (or her? or it?) fall, and avoid making contact with all the wacky obstacles looking to end your game.
Helichicken is one of those hand-drawn doodle-style apps and there’s not much to it but if you’re into simple endurance games where the sole object is to not screw up for as long as possible then this one might be worth a shot. Bale would be doing everyone a solid if he (or she? or they?) would enable OpenFeint and throw in some more interesting powerups, but hey what the hell… it’s free! And it’s Monday! And you don’t really feel like working or studying anyway!
If Helichicken touches anything... even the white layer of clouds, it's Game Over Man

How do you know you’re addicted to a game? When you keep telling yourself, “I’ll stop after I play one more time.”
Lots of apps claim to be addictive. Lots of reviewers claim an app is addictive. You and I know that’s not really the case. Yes, an app might be a blast to play for a few minutes or a couple of hours, but when it’s time to move on to the next thing, you can easily put your iDevice down or close out the app and move on. You’re not going to miss a meal or the latest episode of Lost and definitely not precious sleep time because of it. That’s ok; if every video game that billed itself as addictive truly was, society would have ground to a stop sometime around the mid-1980s. The human race would have ceased to reproduce.
But there is one new kid on the block who deserves every bit of the hype you’ve been hearing: One Man Left’s Tilt to Live. If you haven’t heard of this game before, allow me to cut to the chase: Stop reading this review and get it. Get it now. You’ll thank me.
Want more incentive? As part of a special sale that will run through the end of March, Tilt to Live has dropped its price from a buck-99 to .99. In other words, my procrastination in getting this review posted last night (because I was too busy playing the game) just saved you a buck. Sweet.

TapTime is on sale for free – normally $.99
The concept behind this game is nothing new and it’s not even all that interesting… tap on objects before they disappear from view, and don’t tap the one bad thing that will end your game instantly. The thing I love about this game, though, is the execution. The sound and graphics are both really well done and, overall, Andy Burke has put together a nice little time waster here.
TapTime is the kind of game that’s so basic a monkey could play it, but it’s also that very simplicity that will cause certain personality types to get hooked. The game also supports OpenFeint which is cool.
Grab this game while it’s free and give it a spin the next time you’re waiting at a bus stop, outside the principal’s office, or just completely bored out of your mind! It might surprise you.

Warning: Skip the text part of the greeting card!
Luck O the Irish is on sale for free – normally $.99
If you’re Irish… or just looking for an excuse to get out and party… chances are you’ll be celebrating St. Patrick’s Day sometime within the next week, or at the very least you’ll be updating your Facebook status with a very clever “Happy St. Pat’s!” or something to that effect.
If your Irish-ness only goes as far as Facebook, Luck O the Irish will help you take it one step further by walking you through its Irish greeting card maker. The seven templates it includes look fairly slick and professional, and as long as you’re just sticking a picture in there you’ll be just fine. Photo handling is pretty bad (but repositioning is pretty easy), and forget about inputting any text because it’ll look ridiculous. Once you’re done putting photo in frame the image gets saved to your camera roll so you can post it to your profile via a Facebook-friendly app (which this one isn’t), or you can just email it.
For hardcore revelers, Sync Studios also included Irish-themed drink recipes and drinking games, plus there are links to info on a whole lotta St. Patrick’s Day parades worldwide.
Luck O the Irish has plenty of flaws that are mainly in the greeting card department, but it does enough things well that it’s worth picking up for free if you see shamrocks and green beer in your very near future.

Drag Racer: Pro Tuner is on sale for free- normally $2.99
Pro Tuner is a simple drag racing game from XMG Studio Inc. that focuses on a plethora of enhancements you can add to your ride.
Dozens of cars, custom paint jobs and the ability to tweak everything from your brakes to gear ratio makes this an authentic, addictive racing RPG. Definitely worth a look if you are into the sport, but it’s easy to enjoy this lose yourself in this game for the pure joy of customizing and upgrading your car. Lots of in-app purchases unlock some certain bonuses in the game, but certainly aren’t necessary to enjoy it.
