Five For Friday: Week of September 24, 2010 is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website
Dark Void Zero:
Dark Void on the consoles may have bombed on the review charts, but the iPhone version is an utterly different story. 8-bit visuals, achievements, online leaderboards, and so much more make this side scrolling shooter a highly addictive game. Capcom, being the devilishly nice company they are, is even feeling a bit generous and letting you get it for a lousy $0.99 this weekend.
$0.99

Mega Man II:
The Blue Bomber is back and better than ever. Enjoy the original NES game without having to do any funny stuff with ROMs and emulators. Enjoy all 14 levels and 8 bosses in this side scrolling shooter. Even better, this game is rocking a sweet sale right now. Capcom, we thank you for giving us a reason to skip out on chores this weekend.

Gangstar: Miami Vindication:
Gameloft is back at it with another edition of Gangstar. Hit the streets of Miami for over 75 missions of enemy sniping, car stealing, escorting, and car chasing entertainment. Of course, a criminal needs a sleek way of getting around town. Boost cars, motorcycles, boats, and helicopters to give those walking legs a break. Crime has never looked so good, or consumed so much time on the iPhone.

iA Writer:
Sometimes you just need a distraction free writing zone. No noise, no auto correcting of grammar or words, not even toolbars bars stand in your way with this app. iA Writer will give you a distraction free writing area. Once that draft is completed, look at how long it will take to read with the included reading time feature. Sometimes you just need a minimalistic writing space to get your thoughts out. iA Writer is that place of writing Zen.
$4.99
iPad Only App – Designed for the iPad

Numbers:
Numbers is not a new app by any means. What is new about it is a patch that now makes this app worth your money. Exporting to Excel files is FINALLY available after a long waiting period. All the complaining can finally be put to rest over this issue. If you need a good-looking, yet powerful, spreadsheet editor, this is worth your coin.

Freebie Alert: ‘Galaxy on Fire 3D’ – Don’t Miss This One
Freebie Alert: ‘Galaxy on Fire 3D’ – Don’t Miss This One is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website
If you've found yourself excited by all the coverage of Galaxy on Fire 2 lately between the initial set of screenshots, the WWDC hands-on, the teaser trailer, and finally the full trailer, this is a freebie you won't want to miss. Galaxy on Fire 3D was released in early 2009, and includes over 20 hours of space shootin' and tradin' gameplay. It feels a little dated compared to more recent shooters, but that doesn't make the game any less fun to play through.
Galaxy on Fire 2 is scheduled for release this October, and while I doubt that playing through the first one will be at all required to enjoy the second… There's no reason not to give this game a try, especially while it's free.

Price Drop Alert – ‘Stair Dismount’, ‘Pinball Ride’, and ‘8-Bit Rebellion!’ is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website
After the multitude of sales that went down over the Labor Day weekend in the US, there are still some pretty great deals to be had entering into this shortened work week. As with all the sales that occur on the App Store, prices are subject to change at any time, so make sure and take advantage of them while you can.
Stair Dismount Universal, Free From the originators of ragdoll physics pain infliction Secret Exit, Stair Dismount Universal has gone free for a day. Give poor Mr. Dismount a hearty push down one of 12 different sets of stairs, inflicting pain and earning high scores to compete on the OpenFeint leaderboards.
The game was recently updated with universal iPad support and a DLC character pack. If you haven't picked it up already, definitely give Stair Dismount Universal a download while free, and if you like it you can throw a buck at the DLC for 3 additional characters.
Pinball Ride Unlimited, $2.99 Pinball Ride is a game that we took a look at back in April and determined it to be a fun pinball experience, but it felt slightly high priced at $5 compared to the other options available on the App Store. A couple of weeks ago, Pinball Ride received a huge update that added universal iPad support as well as some heavily tweaked gameplay. Story Mode has been fleshed out with new goals and achievements, and Burst Mode has been completely redesigned to offer more substantial gameplay.
Pinball Ride is a great looking game, rendered entirely in 3D and runs incredibly fast and smooth. If you've felt like the $5 price tag was too steep before, you can currently get the game at the discounted rate of $2.99 and there is a lite version to check out as well.
Linkin Park 8-Bit Rebellion!, $0.99 While light on gameplay but heavy on fan service, 8-Bit Rebellion is an arcade style beat ‘em up with an emphasis on social interaction featuring the popular band Linkin Park. It’s a simplistic button masher at its core, but features a ton of cool items to collect and real-time interaction with other players online. I’m not really a fan of Linkin Park, but was surprised by how much there was to like when we reviewed the game in April.
One of my favorite parts about 8-Bit Rebellion are the excellent 8-bit renditions of some of the band's most popular songs, which should really appeal to fans of Linkin Park. In addition to the iPhone version sale, the iPad version has also dropped to 99¢ and there is a lite version if you want to take the game for a test drive first.
Freebie Alert: ‘Hoggy’, ‘Veggie Samurai’, ‘Rebirth of Fortune’, ‘bitFLIP HD’, ‘Irritating Game’, ‘Fayju Ball’ and ‘TowerMadness’

Free Game Alert – ‘Fastar!’ from Cat in a Box Games
Free Game Alert – ‘Fastar!’ from Cat in a Box Games is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website
Last month, we were treated to the fun and fast-paced Fastar! from developer John Kooistra and Cat in a Box Games. Fastar! is a sarcastic take on action-RPGs that has you blazing through side-scrolling levels as fast as possible, all while collecting coins and upgrading your character as you defeat the game's many square enemies. The funny thing about Fastar! is while it's technically taking jabs at the many action-RPG games out there and the genericness of their enemies and gameplay, it actually accomplishes being an incredibly fun game while doing so.
You can read all about Fastar! in our in-depth review of the game and get a good idea of the gameplay from the trailer:
If you have yet to pick up Fastar! you're in luck as the game has just gone free for a day. We really liked the game, and found it to be a great fit for the iPhone. Players in our forums are also loving the game, and if you've been on the fence about it since its release there's now no reason not to check out Fastar! while it's free for the day.

Freebie Alert: ‘Dark Nebula – Episode One’ – Download This…!
Freebie Alert: ‘Dark Nebula – Episode One’ – Download This…! is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website
In celebration of the recent release of Dark Nebula – Episode Two [99¢], developer 1337 Game Design has dropped the price of the original installment to free. If you don't own Dark Nebula – Episode One [Free] yet, you seriously need to stop whatever it is you're doing and download it. Unfortunately it's over the 20MB limit for 3G app downloads so iPhone users will have to find some WiFi, but thankfully the game will be free all weekend so you've got plenty of time.
On the surface, the Dark Nebula games are just tilt controlled ball rollers, but in actuality they are so much more than that. The production value of both games is flat out insane, with amazing graphics, excellent sound, and masterful level design. Episode One will likely only take you an hour to complete, but it will be one fantastic ride.
We have reviewed both Episode One and Episode Two if you want to check them out, but really, you should just download the first while it's free and immediately pick up the second if you enjoy it as I think the sequel is even better than the original.
