Freebies are universally awesome, whether they’re free samples of pizza bagels at the grocery store or great iPhone games. We’ve favorably reviewed both of these games, but you might as well just download both of these and give them a try for yourself while they’re free.
Truckers Delight: Episode 1 – While Mobigame is likely best known for the controversy surrounding Edge [$2.99], they’ve also brought both Cross Fingers [$1.99 / Free] and Truckers Delight: Episode 1 [Free] to the App Store as well. Truckers Delight is an episodic iPhone game based on the not at all work safe video of the same name. In the game, you play as a trucker driving down a highway pursuing a blonde girl in a red corvette. Your truck is controlled by tilting, and along the way you’ll need to run police, motorcycles, and many other vehicles off the road with the help of an array of increasingly odd and vulgar power-ups.
We liked Truckers Delight: Episode 1 quite a bit in our review, and really can’t wait for the rest of the episodes in the series. The game does a great job of preserving the feel of retro racing games while providing a good difficulty curve that gets really exciting as you’re just barely making it to the next checkpoint with one second to spare. Don’t miss this game while it’s free.
Luxor – Initially released in 2005, Luxor has lived a long life on many platforms including the Mac, PC, and several game consoles both through its initial release and subsequent sequels. The iPhone port is done well, and features gameplay similar to Puzzloop [$7.99 / Free] and many other marble shooting color matching games. Luxor has a bit of a notorious reputation on our forums due to the role that developer Mumbo Jumbo played in StoneLoops! of Jurassica’s removal from the App Store, which explains the tsunami of negative reviews in iTunes despite the fact that the game is quite fun.
As mentioned when we first took a look at the game, Luxor is host to a heap of levels, power-ups, and achievements to inflate your Plus+ score. If you’ve been looking for a marble shooter, grab this one while it’s free.
Woot! Bout time...its been a very long wait and hopefully the controls will be worth the wait. Cant wait for the update to be available so I can get several of the new games as well. Last ninja series FTW!
Great update, but was hoping for Elite...
One day, eh? ;)
QS :D
Oh man iv waited patiently for the new update and hoped beyond hope that The Last Ninja would be included and to see that 2 and 3 will be there also is just amazing, I seriously cannot wait and will gladly pay any price to play these truely groundbreaking and of their time games.
Druid too lol heaven lol
You should consider buying a Dingoo, which has mature emulation plus 'gaming controls' - i.e. dpad plus buttons - more than a match for BS touch screen emulation. Also, checkout Wiz and Open Pandora...
I used to love Buggy Boy, at least that's what I think it was called.
I hope that these controls have been updated for the good. It's just so sloppy the way it is now. Maybe a D-Pad option, for some of the games at least.

Last Ninja and Armalyte were where my hours went ;-)
Glad to hear that they are still very alive, I almost given up on them...
Eliminator! I had that on the Atari ST, it was excellent, especially when the bug that gives you infinite lives kicked in! ;)
Last Ninja 2 = WIN!
Just waiting for iPad support, and I will probably bite.
Give me Bubble Bobble and two joysticks and this will be awesome! :)
nice :) good thansk a lot admins
OMG, there's just NO WAY you can play Last Ninja on a virtual joystick, not with all those diagonals involved. Still, great games.
The fixed, virtual d-Pad makes a huge difference. I was able to use it to safely navigate over water :)
Please do Elite or Frontier ASAP!!!
So just d/l the update n sorry to say guys but The Last Ninja series aint in the shop BOO!!!
Armalyte, heetseeker n the free games appear to be the only ones from the list to have made it in.
So the rest will be added when they meet apple aporoval but when all the hoopla was made about the new update it wasnt made clear that this would be the case, we were led to believe that they would be part of the update when it came out so this is still a major disappointment for me as when your expecting to be playing a sneaky game of TLN at work and it doesnt happen you are going to be pee,d off.
