Freebie Alert: Jetpack Joyride, Velocispider, and cans too

A few quality games have gone free for the day and you would be a fool to pass, a fool with no class, the most foolish of fools to not download each and every one. The first game, Jetpack Joyride, I reviewed months ago and it's easily one of the best iOS games released all year. It is an extremely common "get as far as you can" game, but it's highly polished and a whole lotta fun. If you don't grab this game while it's free, you don't deserve that phone and/or tablet.
The next freebie you should pick up and play as you go camping in your tipi is Velocispider. The game is, in a way, a mashup between Space Invaders and Missile Command where you control a part velociraptor, part spider, part robot, all awesome, all ready to kick ass without needing the excuse of no bubblegum, all while protecting three innocent eggs. It's a lot of fun and one of those rare tilt-based games I find enjoyable and surprisingly comfortable to control.
The last game which is free for you and me and everyone else in need is Can Knockdown 2. Are you ready for a shocker? In Can Knockdown 2, you knockdown cans, knock them down with your balls! It's an extremely simple game and nothing particularly special, but I find it enjoyable in that stupid, mindless way. Either way, it's free right now and even if you don't enjoy knocking down can after can like me, it's free and worth a shot, a shot aimed right at the cans.
Below are links to the three games mentioned and best of all, all three games are universal and this is the first time any of them have dropped in price—Velocispider actually raised its price to $1.99 a few months after release, so the deal is just that much sweeter. Keep in mind, Velocispider and Jetpack Joyride are only free today (12/19/11) and Can Knockdown 2 is free until December 21st, so act fast as these deals will soon be a thing of the past.
