Disclaimer: All prices are subject to change at any time and without notice regardless of stated free duration. iPhone: N.Y. Zombies ($.99 -> Free): An on-rails zombie shooter set in New York.  You won’t actually be controlling the movement of your character, just your aim via touch and drag.  The game features 20 levels, over 20 upgradeable weapons, two modes of play, online leaderboards, and more. N.Y. Zombies is available for free today only (10/16).  It has a four-star rating and a total of 1,318 ratings. Space Loops ($.99 -> Free): A puzzle game with the goal of forming closed loops.  You are given random puzzle pieces that can be rotated and moved around before permanently being placed, but you only have a limited amount of time to do so.  Each piece must align with the next to form a closed loop in order to be removed from the board.  If you run out of space, the game is over.  The game features online leaderboards, social network integration, and intuitive controls.

Secret Diary is available for free through the weekend. It has a three-and-a-half-star rating and a total of 11 ratings. Universal: iStalin: Create Your Communist Poster ($1.99 -> Free): A rather goofy app that allows you to create your own communist poster.  Take a picture of yourself or import a photo from your library, and then add text, stickers, stamps, and change the paper type in order to create the perfect poster.  Stickers and text can be rotated and scaled.  The app also features the ability to undo items, apply multiple effects, and share your poster via email. iStalin is available for free for a limited time. It has a three-star rating and a total of 110 ratings. RadioMap ($.99 -> Free): Helps you find radio stations while on the go.  You can look up stations by state and city, or just view them all on a map.  It also displays relative signal strength for each station.  The current station list includes: NPR, The Rush Limbaugh Show, The Sean Hannity Show, and The Glenn Beck Program, but you can request your own favorite show by contacting the developer. RadioMap is available for free until the end of October. It has a three-and-a-half-star rating and a total of seven ratings. iPad: FallDown! HD ($.99 -> Free): A simple endless game where you must tilt your device in order to get the ball down the holes before the top of the screen crushes you.  It also features touch controls for those who aren't fond of tilting. FallDown! HD is available for free through the weekend. It has a three-and-a-half-star rating and a total of 22 ratings.

• The app must be free for at least one whole day.
• It must have at least a three-star rating at the time it goes free.
• The app must not have been free numerous times (3+) over the last six months.
