It's my last Friday before maternity leave. So with visions of onesies dancing in my head, I present to you these awesome apps that are at newly lowered prices -- many in honor of the just-born iPhone 4S. Now you'll spend less money in the App Store, and have more money for diapers. (Yes, I realize I'm the one buying the diapers, not you. But bear with me here. I'm in no condition to argue...)
Happy shopping!
Telltale has finished its latest puzzle game series, the dark comedy Hector: Badge of Carnage, and to help you catch up, all three episodes are just $2.99 on either iPhone or iPad through October 24. Hector is a foul-mouthed British police detective who doesn't like wearing pants. And the series' sharp writing, clever puzzles, and edgy art style are classic Telltale. So check out Episode 1: We Negotiate with Terrorists (iPhone and iPad), Episode 2: Senseless Acts of Justice (iPhone and iPad), and Episode 3: Beyond Reasonable Doom (iPhone and iPad).
Gameloft is having a pretty big 99-cent sale. You can see all 158 of their Phone apps here and all 64 iPad apps here. Not everything is on sale (no 9mm? Awwwwww), but a lot of them are. If you're looking for one to start out with, try Asphalt 6: Adrenaline (99 cents on iPhone or iPad) or Dungeon Hunter 2 (99 cents for iPhone or iPad).
iOS 5's iMessage is a godsend -- if you just want to communicate with people who have iOS 5 devices.
