Free apps roundup for January 22nd, 2010

It’s been a while since I’ve posted a bunch of game demos, so it’s time that’s changed. This week I have three, along with some other great apps for your downloading and installing pleasure. Don’t be a geek, take a peak…at the list below.

Sorry, I heard that in Vegas a couple of weeks ago and I was just dying to use it somewhere. Anyway, here’s this week’s list:

• Rock Band Free – It has only one song, “Learning to Fly” by the Foo Fighters, but you can play any of the instruments in the game. There’s guitar, bass, drums and vocals in three levels of difficulty. I’m sure you already know the gameplay, but just for good measure, it’s very similar to Tap Tap Revenge and other tapping games. You have to push the right buttons at the right time, just like a real rock star. Should be great fun, and remember, you can always use a sound system to really rock out with your dock out!
• The White House – The official app of the White House and the Obama administration. It provides you with updates from just about everywhere. There’s info, pictures, and videos, and next week they’re even going to live stream the State of the Union address, though we’ll likely be doing something much more tablet oriented around that time.
• Labyrinth 2 Lite – The sequel to the immensely popular Labyrinth game. You control the table with which to guide the marble from point A to point B. Obviously, it’s harder than it sounds, and this sequel doesn’t make it any easier. More challenging, and more fun. You’ll like this one.
• Sherlock Holmes: The Game is Afoot Free – Every good movie needs a good game, right? Here you are. I’m not sure what to say other than if you like Sherlock Holmes, or perhaps Robert Downey Jr. exceedingly so, give this one a go.
• Everytrail 3 – This app is for anyone who likes hiking, or mapping any sort of journey, I suppose. Basically, this app lets you keep a GPS record of your travels and add pictures and text along the way. It’s a great way to document where you’ve been and what you saw.
• Golfr – Like Flickr, only for Golf? Nope, not even close. This is a tool for avid golfers, though this likely isn’t the most opportune time to release it. It provides access to a bunch of info on golf courses, and with 15,000+ courses already, you’re favorite is likely here already.
• Cam Button – Another no frills, full-screen camera shutter button app. You touch it, it takes pictures, what else do you want?
