Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 (iPhone, iPad) $0.99 (was $6.99)

Now the gory arcade masterpiece is available on your iPhone, and what’s more, it’s available at a crazily reduced price. If you like video games at all, you should immediately jump on this deal.
Electronic Arts has brought back the original cast of 13 fighters, including the iconic Sub Zero and hellacious Scorpion, as well as the game’s 10 battle arenas. As always, you can claw your way through the tournament in the single-player story campaign, or take the fight to your friends and enemies over a Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connection. There’s also a time-trial game mode that has you earning points as you fight for quick, stylish victories. And as always, Ultimate MK3 has all the awesome “Finishing Move” variety you’ve come to expect from the franchise.
