Be Free or Die-Zombies 3D FPS $.99 –> Free (App Store) is a first person shooter (FPS) that features zombies and demons. Sure, the graphics can’t beat NOVA’s superb graphics. But the action and blood make this FPS a thrill to play.

Why is it Great? You never know where the next zombie will spawn and destroy you!

Fast Contacts $1.99 –> Free (App Store) is an amazing contact book for your iPhone. You can view your contact’s picture. Get cover flow just like viewing your albums with the iPod app. You also get full search, including phone numbers and note fields. Birthday and anniversary alerts to keep friends and loved ones happy. There are so much features. Apple should just make “this app” the default contact for the iPhone/iPod Touch.

Why is it Great? It is what Apple is missing in their boring default Contacts app.

iGangster $.99 -> Free (App Store) is a massive multi-player game similar to Mafia Wars. However, there’s a lot you can do in this game. Play cards and the stock market to get rich. This game isn’t your usual get-more-mafia via credit cards or spam. Real strategy is involved when playing this special MMO game.

Why is it Great? A MMO game with variety and depth.

Dual Spin Ball $.99 -> Free (App Store) is a table game with an attitude. Guard your goal with spinning rod. The spin ball can bounce really fast on your screen. Players can tap near the goal to control the spinning rod. The best part about this game is how it “breaks you iPhone screen” when you score!

Why is it Great? Scoring never seemed so cool!

Please check to price of the app before downloading. Prices can change at any time. Sometimes apps are even just free for a few hours before they get a new price.
