Free Today: Shift 2, Zentomino, and More

Posted by Andrew Podolsky, December 5th, 2011

Did you know that if you're patient and pay attention to our GameFinder app, you can find all kinds of great iOS games marked down to free? Here are some of today's best temporarily deals-- download them for free while you can!

Shift 2 Unleashed

EA's been pushing a Daily Deals promotion for December that led to The Sims Medieval being a free download yesterday. Today, it's Shift 2's turn. This white-knuckle, high-speed racer has incredible graphics and well-balanced vehicles, and if you're persistent, you won't have to pay any real-world money to upgrade your abilities.

Our Score: 3 out of 4

Our Bottom Line: Need for Speed Shift 2 is a sequel that improves on the original, but not enough to make it a must buy.

Zentomino

Zentomino is a combination of tangram (assembly puzzles), pentominos (five-squared Tetris-like pieces), and good old Zen. To solve this relaxing but challenging game, you have to rotate and place Tetris-like pieces to fit a particular shape. There are hundreds of puzzles to solve in this collection, so be sure to download it for free if you have the mental skills.

Our Score: 4 out of 4

Our Bottom Line: Zentomino is an extremely fun, laid-back puzzle game with enough content to keep you playing for a long time to come.

Arcade Jumper

Arcade Jumper is a simple game with a retro kick. You play as a kid with a blaster that looks like an NES Zapper, running, jumping, and shooting through retro-inspired backgrounds. When you reach the end of each stage, you can pick up an arcade token and try to make it back the way you came. We featured Arcade Jumper in a recent Under The Radar column, and now you can get it for free.

Sad Princess

When your boyfriend gets kidnapped, Princess, don't get sad-- get even. In this side-scrolling beat 'em up, you play as a small girl who can kick a lot of tail. Wolves, boars, and other beasts don't stand a chance against your giant club and special attacks, plus you can even tend for a companion pet who will help you out.

Our Score: 2 out of 4

Our Bottom Line: You won't be happy if you download Sad Princess based solely on its looks.

Line Birds

Line Birds is a high-score, endless flying game where you can tap on the screen to make your bird rise to the top. As you fly, hand-drawn lines will scroll by, threatening to squash your bird like a sliding glass door. Like several of the games listed here, you can download and play Line Birds for free-- the in-app purchases are completely optional.

Our Score: 3 out of 4

Our Bottom Line: There's not much gameplay variety in Line Birds, but what’s here works.

    The Adventures of Timmy: Run Kitty Run is free right now too. I haven't beat it yet, but so far it's been a really fun platformer with a good mix of action and exploration. It also has a nice art style that looks great on retina displays.
