NASA, Marvel and other free iPhone apps of the week

Welcome to a new feature here at Appolicious in which we highlight noteworthy, recently released free iPhone apps. This inaugural column includes an updated NASA app, Marvel’s newest release and American Express finally bringing a banking app to its customers. Let’s dive right in, shall we?

Space exploration meets the iPhone

The Lite is certainly suspect – a more cynical reviewer might hypothesize that the release of this free iPhone app has more to do with promoting the movie’s DVD release than actually selling games. But regardless of the intent, it’s very cool that you now have the option to try this Gameloft game out before spending $6.99 on the full version. Avatar aims to bring the console gaming experience to your iPhone, and it does an admirable job. The game earns superior marks for its deep storyline and impressive graphics, with the main problem being a sometimes annoying game camera. The game play is good enough and there is plenty of action if that’s what you’re looking for, and this is an iPhone app you should definitely try out yourself.
