Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there! And if you still need to get your dad something...how about an app? With all the crazy sales going on, you can get him two or three.
Massive EA Mobile Sale

First of all, EA and Firemint are having a massive "Manly Man" sale -- read all the details here. Way too many games for both iPhone and iPad are on sale for us to list them all, but here are a few of our favorites, including the entire Real Racing series. For iPhone, Real Racing 2 dropped from $6.99 to $4.99, and Real Racing went from $4.99 to $0.99. And for iPad, Real Racing 2 HD went from $9.99 to $6.99, and Real Racing HD is on sale for $1.99, from $6.99.
And a few more of our favorite iPad apps are part of the Manly Man sale, too. SimCity Deluxe for iPad is just $0.99, down from $6.99. Command & Conquer for iPad is $1.99, regularly $4.99. And Mirror's Edge for iPad is $2.99, usually $9.99.
Next!

This productivity app for iPad is having a massive Father's Day sale, dropping from $9.99 to just $0.99 this weekend. If your dad loves his iPad and is always doing lots of stuff for lots of people, this will help him keep all those "honey-dos" organized.
Capo

Our sister mag Guitar World put Capo (originally $19.99, on sale for $15.99, universal) in their list of 50 Best Guitar Apps, and we agree -- it's rad. It helps you learn the music in your library by slowing it down without affecting the pitch. You can even loop the tricky parts so you can practice 'em over and over. If Dad loves his guitar, he'll love this. And if you get it for him, he'll love you! (Uh, more. He'll love you more.)
Cocktails at My Pad

The iPhone version of this cocktail-making app dropped from $1.99 to free. (It's also $1.99 for iPad.) It's even got videos showing you how to make the cocktails. Just don't forget the ice.
Have an awesome weekend, everybody!
