Happy 4th of July to our readers from America! To make the federal holiday special, we went out and hunted for the best iOS / Android apps that have had their prices cut specially for Independence Day; our quest so far has resulted in a treasure trove of awesome apps. All of them are listed right after the jump. Check them out and be sure to share this post with your friends and family!
Shadowgun (iOS / Android)
Arguably the most technically advanced game on both iOS and Android today, Shadowgun is on sale for a mere $0.99 (down from $4.99). Its gameplay, graphics and general presentation approach console level quality. A must buy if you like big games on small screens.
Samurai II: Vengeance (iOS / Android)
If you like quick hack & slash games, then you will love the critically acclaimed Samurai II: Vengeance. It is beautiful to look at too! $0.99 (down from $4.99)
EA Games (iOS/Android): Burnout Crash, Dead Space, Mass Effect, Sims And More!
Burnout Crash!
Fans of games from the ever-controversial Electronic Arts will be interested to know that nearly all of their games for iOS and Android have had their prices cut down to $0.99.
Mass Effect Infiltrator
AAA titles like Burnout Crash!, FIFA 12, Dead Space, Battlefield: Bad Company 2, Mass Effect Infiltrator, Mirror’s Edge, Sim City Deluxe, Tetris, Need For Speed Hot Pursuit and The Sims Medieval that usually cost above $4.99 now cost just $0.99. Get them while they are hot!

Color Splash Studio (Mac / iOS)
The folks behind Color Splash Studio have extended their recent sale on both the Mac and iOS versions of their app. The deal for 4th of July is hence: you buy Color Splash Studio for Mac for $0.99 (down from $4.99) or you can buy it for iOS for $0.99 and send a screenshot over to gift@macphun.com to claim your free digital copy of Color Splash Studio for Mac!
Firemint Games: Real Racing, Flight Control (iOS)
Firemint is responsible for the some of the most popular mobile games today. To make 4th of July special for their fans, they’ve put all games in the Real Racing series and Flight Control on sale for $0.99. This includes the “HD” versions for the iPad.
Chillingo Games: The Act, Air Mail (iOS)
Chillingo has also slashed prices of two of its recently released games. Air Mail is a 3D flying game where, from what I can tell, you have to deliver mail while flying one of those old-school biplanes. The Act seems to be a more interesting game; it plays out like an interactive version of those animated comedy films Disney used to make. Both available for just $0.99!
