Namco Bandai has released Namco Arcade, a collection of four restored 1980s arcade classics for free on the App Store. You can play Xevious, The Tower of Druaga, Motos, and Phozon on your iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPod touch (4th generation), and iPad 2. You choose one title and play for free once per day. If you want to play longer with the same or different game, you can either purchase Play Coins from within Namco Arcade or purchase the game so you can play for as long as you want.

On January 19th, Soul Calibur will be released for the iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad 2. The iOS version will be a port of the Dreamcast game with all 19 fighters, and will include arcade battle, time attack, survival, extra survival, practice and museum modes. Time attack, survival and extra survival will be compatible with Game Center’s Leader Boards.

It’s the week of limited time freebies. Honestly, what’s better than getting an app that should be at least a dollar—if not much more—sans charge? For some reason, developers are being extra generous this week and giving away some pretty awesome apps. Then there are the normal freebies, like the IKEA Catalog, the new iPad Rdio app and an awesome game and app combo from Namco.

After owning my iPod for a few months, I decided to purchase a few games to play while listening to some tunes and podcasts. Pole Position: Remix was one of them. After playing one race, I quickly felt the style of gameplay was much different. Your average racing game doesn’t force you to pause a few seconds then start racing again after you smash your car into a sign, wall or another opponent, it just dents your car. Your steering must be precise or you’ll end up going into a puddle or gas spill, crashing, then starting up again a few seconds later. While it can get annoying when you have the almost natural instinct to crash into other cars and knock them off the road, Pole Position: Remix does bring the classic 80s style of gameplay to your iPod.
