With over 800,000 apps in the App Store, it can be hard to keep track on the latest and greatest deals on apps and games - but that's where our new iOS Deals of the Week come in, bringing the best mobile deals to your fingertips.
This week, we've got a slate of hit indie games, movie tie-ins, and popular EA titles to entertain through the weekend:
Angry Birds Space (iPhone/HD iPad version): FREE (for a limited time)
Take the biggest mobile gaming franchise in recent memory and mash it together with the most popular film frilogy of all-time: and you've got Angry Birds Space, the intergalatic Angry Birds/Star Wars physics puzzler. With tons of great references and homages to the Star Wars trilogy, there's a reason Angry Birds Space always finds itself at the top of the App Store charts, despite being one amongst a million physics puzzlers for iOS.
Epic (universal): FREE
Epic hits theater this weekend - so while you're standing in line with the little ones, toss them this free town-building sim to get familiar with some of the characters and art design of the film.
FIFA Soccer 13 (universal): $.99 (for a limited time)
The most popular sports game in the world has had an iOS presence for a few years: but never like their 2013 edition, with a slew of new animations, in-game commentary, and a sharper, more realistic simulation of the pitch for gamers to enjoy. Throw in some great features like the ability to play the game on iPad and use the iPhone as a controller, and FIFA 13 is easily the most fully-featured sports game on iOS.
Monopoly (iPhone/iPad version) $.99 (for a limited time)
Although there's plenty of shiny Monopoly variables available in the App Store (Millionaire and Here and Now are a few examples), my money's always with the original Parker Bros. reincarnation, which is a perfect fit for the iPad when playing with friends.
NBA JAM (iPhone/iPad version) $.99 (for a limited time)
"He's on fire!" Anyone who grew up with basketball in the 1990's remembers playing NBA Jam in the arcade: and with their reboot of the franchise in 2011 and 2012, EA released a fantastic mobile version of their 2-on-2 cartoonish streetballer, complete with hilarious commentary, unlockables, and
Tetris Blitz (universal): FREE
EA's been releasing Facebook-friendly versions from their classic IP collection: Tetris Blitz is the latest, turning the typical meditative puzzle experience and infusing it with neon colors, power-ups, a new soundtrack, and other tweaks to create a fast and engaging social gaming experience. Compete for high scores against Facebook and Game Center friends, attack high scores... what else could you want from a modern Tetris?
