This week saw a surprising amount of quality 3D games hit the App Store. Plus, Apple loosened up on the internet browsers, though you likely already have Google’s fake Chrome that they snuck in a while ago. This week: Instant Motivator Free, Burning Tires 3D Lite, Action Bowling Free, Toy Tanks 3D Lite, Edge Browser and Wellness.

It’s Macworld week, possibly one of the worst weeks ever for a developer to try to get an app released during. But, as always, some made it through.

• FaceDouble Celebrity Look Alike Lite
• Cubes Free
• Ski and Snow Reports
• Mancala: FS5 (FREE)
• Jew’s Harp
• Backgrounds
• Pandora

Happy New Year! I think this year I’ll resolve to keep my iPhone’s home screens a little more organized, though, like most New Year resolutions, I doubt it’s really going to happen. And more free apps probably aren’t helping. Here’s my list to feed the habit.

• The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
• Wordplay Lite
• Travelo mini – San Francisco ‘09 featuring SOMA
• GW Helmet
• Polarize
• iSteam

We’re coming up on the end of 2008, and what a year it has been. Thanks to the introduction of the App Store, and some amazing developers, I’ve been able to provide a list of noteworthy free apps ever week. For this, I am thankful.

And just like clockwork, here is this weeks list, the last for the year 2008.

Thanks for reading.

This week, I refrained from picking any apps from the overwhelming number of flatulence related apps that all of the sudden burst onto the App Store. You’ll thank me for this later.

• iMacworld
• HP iPrint Photo
• BilliardsLite
• Chase Mobile
• Awkward Silence
• DynoBox
• Google Mobile App

Here are your new, fun, and free apps to hit the App Store for December 12, 2008. It’s definitely worth your time to check out at least a few of these.

• SlyDial
• Fuzzle Christmas
• Remote Pad
• SPACE DEADBEEF
• Rhyme
• Lie Detector
• Quick Block

Here are the free apps worth mentioning on the App Store that made their appearance during the past week:

• CompassApp
• Easy Wi-Fi for AT&T
• Voice Dialer
• Dot LITE
• Chess O
• Joost
• Amazon Mobile
• MotionX Poker Quest Lite

I didn’t intend this, but the majority of the apps on my list this week involve cards. There’s just something about card games that keeps players coming back. Sure, you can run around in the newest FPS and frag opponents at 50+ frames per second, but after a while, you might find yourself getting bored. And that’s when I turn to solitaire. I really don’t know what it is about card games, but here’s a few along with some other great free apps.

• Bathroom Break Free Cell
• iSpades Lite
• iRewardCards Lite
• Google Mobile App
• Backgrounds
• Zynga – Live Poker

It seems that the App Store has really been teeming with new apps lately. If I remember correctly, the newly released apps average somewhere near 80 per day. Not too bad. And developers aren’t neglecting previously released apps. No no, they keep getting updated as well. Here are some apps that are not only great, but also free. What more could you ask for, really?

• RovioDriver
• FuguMaze
• i.TV
• Eureka
• Fake-A-Call
• DigiDrummer Lite

Another week, another list. Here are some more apps to help keep your iPhone or iPod Touch home screen both full and disorganized. Try out some apps now and delete them before iPhone firmware 2.2 bugs you to rate it. Or maybe you’ll love these so much that they’ll never leave.

• MobileFiles
• NatsuLion for iPhone
• iClouds Lite
• Asteroid Assault
• Checkers Free
• MiniPiano
