We have a rather odd combination of free games for you today: Twin Blades, a side-scrolling hack-and-slash shooter for you anime-loving gamers, and Ultimate Video Poker, a virtual video poker machine for you casual gamblers.

twinblades_screen1Twin Blades ($.99 -> Free): A visually appealing side-scroller set in a medieval era that will have you plowing through wave after wave of zombies across varying environments.  The game features an on-screen joystick to control the main character, and two action buttons, one to shoot and one to slash.  In the game you have an unlimited number of bullets, but your energy depletes with every shot.  You can regain energy by slicing and dicing the zombies into little pieces.

The game also features six range weapons, upgradeable character skills, dozens of zombie animations and behaviors, and OpenFeint integration.  Twin Blades is available today only for free as part of FunTouch.net‘s promotion to raise awareness for French development studios.  We’re not sure which timezone this promotion is taking place in, so download Twin Blades immediately so you don’t miss out.

ultimatevideopoker_screen1Ultimate Video Poker ($.99 -> Free): A virtual poker machine that contains 20 different versions of video poker.  The game features easy to read cards and basic touch-based gameplay.  Tap to hold a card manually, or change the settings to have it auto hold cards.  If you win a hand, there is an option to double up.  And for the impatient gamblers, a simple tap will interrupt the animations to get on with the game.

The game also features real casino background sounds, an editable bankroll, and progressive stat tracking so you can prove that you truly are a winner.  Ultimate Video Poker is available for free today only as part of FreeAppADay.com‘s promotion.
