Turns out the guys at Ezone aren't the only one celebrating the holiday by cutting the price of their games. There's an amazing amount of games that are seeing significant price reductions for the weekend. If you've been waiting for any of these games, here's your chance!

Rock Band, $6.99 (Originally $9.99) – EA's latest rhythm game should need no introduction. 20 songs are included, along with a whole in-game store filled with other song packs that sell for 99¢ a pop. Play as any of the four band positions, each with a different melody to tap out on the iPhone screen.

Tap Star, 99¢ (Originally $4.99) – Another rhythm game for the iPhone, providing similar gameplay as the others… But this one not only includes a song by RUN DMC, but also "Carry On My Wayward Son" by Kansas. (Lighter not included.)

Haunted 3D Rollercoaster Rush, 99¢ (Originally $1.99) – Digital Chocolate's tilt controlled rollercoaster game comes with 40 different Halloween themed tracks and a ton of unlockables.

Derek Jeter Real Baseball, 99¢ (Originally $4.99) – While there were a few things we weren't crazy about in Gameloft's latest sports title starring the one and only Derek Jeter, 99¢ is hard to pass up for a 3D baseball game with this many in-game options and play modes.

Robocalypse – Mobile Mayhem, 99¢ (Originally $1.99)- A popular game for the Nintendo DS, this fantastic port is enhanced for the iPhone and comes loaded with surprisingly awesome online multiplayer. Highly recommended.

iDracula – Undead Awakening, 99¢ (Originally $2.99) – Once again back to 99¢, this dual stick shooter is still one of the best available on the platform. It's been out for quite some time now and has had some substantial content updates. If you don't own iDracula yet, now is a great time to get on board the undead slaying train.

Nick Chase: A Detective Story, 99¢ (Originally $4.99) – While some gameplay elements kept us from fully endorsing this game when it was first released earlier this month, the presentation is one of the best I've seen in a hidden object game. Well worth 99¢ just to experience the attention to detail and comic book style plot progression.

Sentinel 2: Earth Defense, 99¢ (Originally $2.99) – If you're a tower defense fan and somehow don't own this game already, please take this opportunity to download it. Sentinel 2 is even better than the original and is still one of my favorite tower defense games.

Tap-Fu, $1.99 (Originally $3.99) – A fun and casual side scrolling beat 'em up with an interesting gesture-based control system. 2.5D graphics and high quality animations make for a very impressive visual experience, even though the gameplay can be somewhat repetitive.

Blades of Fury, $4.99 (Originally $6.99) – Gameloft's take on Soul Calibur, Blades of Fury works remarkably well with the on-screen controls and has character models and graphics that look great.

Orbital, 99¢ (Originally $2.99) – Launch orbs in to the game field to collide with other orbs. Each orb must be hit the displayed number of times to clear it off the board. The gameplay is fun and the amount of graphical flare in the game make Orbital one of the coolest looking casual games out there.

Aside from all these games that went on sale, there's also a ton of games worth checking out that recently went free for a limited time:

• Shipwreck
• Udder Chaos
• 2 Minute RPG
• Crash!! The Most Stupid Race
• Heavy Crossbow
• Scarecrow
• Libra Balance

These are just a selection of the many games currently on sale or free. For a complete listing, check AppShopper's list of games with price changes. All the prices are current as of this posting, but given the nature of sales on the App Store, they all could change at any time so snatch whatever you've been looking at quickly.

If you've found yourself with nothing to do today aside wait for Halloween tomorrow, the Edis brothers of Ezone.com have offered a small amount of relief in making their latest game free for the day. Scarecrow [App Store] is a simple jumping game similar to Doodle Jump and other games with the sole goal of seeing how high you can go.

We explained the game in more detail in our review last month:

ike their predecessors, the scarecrow wishes to go high… very high. Instead of jumping on platforms, however, scarecrow is propelled by popping kernels of corn. Make sure to hit enough of them as you ascend to keep your momentum going. Hitting the explosive corn also recharges your own personal boost that can be triggered by tapping on the screen. This supply is limited so you need to use it sparingly.

Your path is hindered by a number of obstacles including chainsaws, spikes, and more that threaten to dismember you as you ascend. You can take a fair amount of damage to where you are just left with a torso flying upward.

We enjoyed Scarecrow in our review, and played it enough that we included it in our recent Halloween games roundup. So what are you waiting for? It's free, and it has Plus+ with high score tracking and Push challenges. There's not much reason to not give the game a try.

In our first Best iPhone Games column for September, we placed Meteor Blitz at the top of the heap with 5/5 stars. And, if for some reason you haven't already gotten the game, here's your chance to do so.

Alley Labs has introduced a 3 level Lite version of the game last night which gives you a sizable taste of this wonderfully executed space shooter. In contrast, the full version of the game includes 30 levels across 6 different worlds as well as an endless survival mode.

There was a lot we liked about the game including near-instant load times, auto-save, real-time high score ranking and great controls.

As a further incentive, Alley Labs is dropping the price of the game from $1.99 to $0.99 for this weekend.

A few notable applications have dropped to free this weekend, while we find one developer increasing his price in response to the constant downward drop in game pricing.

Free

• Car Jack Streets ($2.99 -> Free) – A top down Grand Theft Auto-alike that was well received back in April. The game has since seen increasing competition with Gameloft's 3D Gangstar as well as the upcoming official Grand Theft Auto from Rockstar. Still, this top-down sandbox game had its fans and is certainly worth a download.
• Peter und Vlad ($1.99 -> Free) – Yet another line-drawing game, but this time your job is to herd your sheep to safety to avoid an out-of-control weather machine. The game is well done, though we didn't find the herding gameplay as compelling as the other line-drawing games.
• Roadkill Cafe ($0.99 -> Free) – Can you successfully dodge traffic while picking up roadkill? A humorous game that has its fans. Pick it up for free this weekend.

$39.99

Meanwhile, Schiau Studios has taken this weekend to raise the price of their game Alchemize from $2.99 to $39.99 in protest of ongoing complaints about game pricing. The $39.99 price makes it the most expensive iPhone game in the App Store.

• Alchemize ($2.99 -> $39.99) – A different kind of matching puzzler that we looked at in September. While the game resembles a Match-3 puzzler, the gameplay actually revolves around a progressive discovery of new elements.

The move has generated a lively discussion in our forums.

Freebie Fridays have been somewhat of a tradition over at NimbleBit, where they make one of their games free for a day to promote a new title or the rest of their lineup. In a somewhat unprecedented move, they've decided to make all of their games free for a day to promote their new project, App Classics, a web site that searches the App Store using various calculations in attempt to generate a list of the best and most popular apps available.

If you're unfamiliar with NimbleBit's collection of games, here is what's available for free that would have cost you a buck or two yesterday (and will tomorrow):

• Bluebird – Play as a small bird trying to fly as far as possible. Eat bugs to regain energy and tap the screen to flap your wings
• Hanoi Plus – A classic logic puzzle, move stacks of differently sized baskets to the opposite side of the screen stacked smallest to largest.
• Moon Drop – Assist astronauts colonizing the moon. Tap and hold the screen to fire the thrusters of the lunar landers to help them land safely.
• Scoops – Catch falling scoops of ice cream as high as you can while avoiding tomatoes and onions. Play long enough and you will be stacking ice cream past the planets of our solar system.
• Sky Burger – Fill orders for burgers utilizing ingredients falling from the sky. Gameplay is similar to Scoops, but with objectives.
• Textropolis – Search for words using the letters of various city names. With each word match the definition flies by and buildings are built on the top half of the screen.

A few games have gone on sale or even dropped to free over the past week.

iBlast Moki ($1.99 -> $0.99) – One of our Best iPhone Games of September dropped to $0.99 earlier this week and remains on sale. It remains a great value at only $0.99, with over 70 levels and online level sharing.

Topple 2 Plus+ (Free) – In celebration of the Plus+ network launch, Ngmoco has released a free version of Topple 2. In the game you stack blocks of various shapes and sizes to reach a set altitude goal within the provided time limit.

Dr. Awesome Plus+ (Free) – This Qix clone is also free. As Dr. Awesome, you must perform microsurgery to save your friends from a deadly virus. A fun game that's worth getting for free.

LucasArts' Secret of Monkey Island has been put on sale this weekend for only $3.99 (down from $7.99) [App Store].

Originally released in 1990, and having seen several revisions following the initial release including a port to the Sega CD, this Special Edition of The Secret of Monkey Island [App Store] is the best version of the game yet. It has been completely re-imagined with new art, complete voice-overs, and a new live instrumental musical score. The iPhone version really is an impressive effort.

The game has also seen a 1.1 update which fixes a number of 3GS related issues (graphics, crahes), audio bugs, and tunes the control acceleration and sensitivities.

The weekend always seems to bring some deals for you bargain hunters. Here are a few apps that have gone to $0.99 or lower. Game titles link directly to app store.

• Memovator ($0.99 -> Free) is nicely produced memory game where you act as the elevator operator and must remember the destination of everyone who gets in.

  There are 6 different unlockable levels. The game starts with regular numbers, but them moves on to roman numerals, chinese numerals, animal graphics, japanese kamon and time. The game is really well done but seems to get impossibly hard pretty quickly. But, if you've got a great memory, here's a game for you. And it's Free this weekend.
  

  
  

• Match 3D Flick Puzzle ($3.99 -> $0.99). Many people seem to be loving this Match-3 variant. Instead of the usual 2D grid, PlayScreen put their Match-3 on a rotating 3D cube. A Lite version remains available [App Store] to try.

• KIL.A.TON ($2.99 -> $0.99). A solid artillery game we reviewed in August. The level of content and the organization of the different game modes including online multiplayer are very entertaining.

• Fastlane Street Racing ($3.99 -> $0.99). One of the early iPhone racers that we really enjoyed. Fastlane has since been eclipsed by some of the big racing titles, but still remains a good value at only $0.99.

Ngmoco's Rolando 2 has seen its first price cut down from $9.99 to $5.99.

Rolando 2 received high marks in our own review as well as the TouchArcade community.

All in all, we are really impressed with Rolando 2 which does justice to one of the few classic iPhone originals. Like the original, the art, style and music come together in a wonderfully immersive package. And with the addition of Plus+, you'll find yourself working to perfect your scores on individual levels in order to challenge your friends.

Rolando 2 is expected to receive free level pack updates ahead of Rolando 3 which was also announced in March.

App Store Link: Rolando 2, $5.99

We mentioned this in our previous sales update, but Firemint's Real Racing has now dropped its price from $9.99 to $6.99 and is expected to remain there for this weekend only.

Real Racing is considered one of the most technically impressive racing games on the iPhone. We reviewed it back in June and loved the great controls, intelligent AI, and its technical achievements.

The game has since been updated with 6-player local Wi-Fi multiplayer, new cars, new career modes, and control options.
