Now that CES is over, we can get back to our regularly scheduled programming. That means the free apps list is back! And thankfully, this week it’s packed full. Whether you want to watch PBS, keep track of data, get back in shape, find deals on Amazon or just play some pinball, it’s all in the list. Check it out…

What we’ve learned from Gameprom’s Pinball HD is that pinball makes much more sense on the iPad than on the iPhone. In fact, it makes much more sense than on the computer. Pinball sims will never duplicate the feel of standing in front of a large metal and wood cabinet, but as far as simulating the gameplay experience, Pinball HD is the closest we’ve come yet.

Apple’s always happy to let you know that when it comes to their iPhone, “There’s an app for that.” I’m always happy to let you know when that app is pinball. Some of the best on the iPhone come from Gameprom, but now they’ve outdone themselves. Their forthcoming app—Pinball Remote—allows you to use your iPhone for flipper and plunger control on the pending Mac versions of their popular iPhone apps.

There are plenty of content-rich, in-depth games for the iPhone that will take you hours to complete, and they’re awesome. Then, there are apps that offer the same amount of depth and gameplay, but in shorter bursts. These apps all require no how-to or learning, just a smart player. If you’ve got five minutes to kill, these games for the iPod touch and iPhone will murder those minutes in no time.

Gamers rejoice; this is the week for free games. Racing, pinball, finger running, what else could you possibly want? I know…an RPN calculator! And to top it all off, VW announced their 2010 GTI with a special version of Real Racing. I know you’ll find some fun stuff in my list this week…

Although you’ve got a few pinball options on the iPhone, few currently look as good or play as well as Wild West Pinball. The board may be a bit empty of features and goals, and the lack of continuous audio makes it sound as if something’s broken internally, but this is still a solid pinball experience on the iPhone. Plus, it’s now free.

A huge week on the App Store, it was. This week’s list is full of stuff you should be paying for, like a full featured Twitter client, SIRIUS XM’s streaming radio, and two games that used to not be free. Consider this your lucky week.
