Flock It! Free for a Limited Time

Flock It! (iTunes link) is a fun, unique game where the object is to herd sheep around a series of obstacles and into a sheep pen. The herding is done by touching the screen near the sheep, which simulates a sheepdog barking and scaring the sheep to move in another direction (you’ll actually hear a dog bark).

The game throws various challenges at you like keeping the sheep out of mud or from falling into a river or pretty much anything that keeps their wool from being ruined. Yes, the reason you’re herding all these sheep is to shave off their precious wool (not eat them like you’d do a yummy cow). There are also lots of mini-games scattered about like finding the wolf disguised in sheep’s clothing.

All in all, it’s a pretty fun game for free, and the novelty of the gameplay is worth the download alone. It’s perhaps best suited for children, although many adults (including me) will find it fun too.

Flock It! is a free download for a limited time from the App Store.

NBA League Pass iPhone App Price Drops by $20

The NBA League Pass (iTunes link) app for the iPhone has seen a price drop to $19 (was $39). The app features live streaming video of 40+ NBA games a week, basically any game that isn’t being broadcast locally or on national TV. The video streaming works over WiFi or 3G. You can also watch full replays of games in case you miss them. Not a bad deal, as a similar package on DirecTV cost around $170.

The quality of the video is pretty good—maybe just a tad better than the MLB’s At Bat app. There were some complaints about early versions of the app dealing with voice syncing, but they appear to be ironed out after a recent update. There’s a lite version if you want to try it out.

The app also has other features like push notifications and live stats. Full list below:

Finger Physics Free for a Limited Time

Finger Physics (iTunes link) is a puzzle game with beautiful graphics (especially the backgrounds) and a variety of interesting puzzles to solve. The game is sort of an amalgamation of many great iPhone games like Topple and Touch Physics. The puzzle types are switched up throughout the game, so you’ll be constantly surprised. The game averages a 4.5 star rating in the App Store with over 3300 ratings for all versions.

Finger Physics is a free download for a limited time.

PopStar! Is Free for a Limited TIme

PopStar! (iTunes link) is an excellent little block-clearing game that is free for a limited time only. The game is well designed, with some nice animations and sounds, making it a sweet free download.

The object of the game is to clear as many blocks per round as possible. You clear blocks by tapping sections of 2 or more of the same color blocks. You proceed to the next round when you gain a defined amount of points. The challenge of the game is to strategically eliminate blocks so that you can clear as many as possible. Any blocks remaining are deducted from your score at the end of the round. The round officially ends when there are no more combos to remove.

PopStar! is a free download from the iTunes App Store for a limited time only.

Falling Gems, a No Frills Match 3 iPhone Game, Free Until the New Year

Falling Gems (iTunes link) is a nice if somewhat basic match 3 game that takes a lot of gameplay cues from Bejeweled (obviously). It’s currently free until the end of 2009.

The game features 3 mode: Challenge, Timeless, and Classic. Challenge is probably the best, as it’s a race against the clock and becomes more difficult the higher level you attain. Gain time back by matching 3 of the same color. Achieve stars by matching 4 or more. Collect enough stars, and move to a higher level.

Falling Gems is a free download in the App Store until Jan 1, 2010.
