The best part of this week’s free iPhone apps list is that whether you want to get out of the house or stay in it, there’s something sure to please you. There are games that will challenge you to take over fictional lands (and a game that challenges you to take over your actual land), as well as apps to tell you what to expect from the great outdoors and that help you find entertainment.
On second thought, the best part of this week’s list is that everything is free.
Turf Wars
Lite may just be exactly what you’re looking for. While this is the first GTA title released for the iPhone, it has everything you would expect from the series: gunfights, car chases and just generally reckless behavior. Chinatown Wars centers around Huang Lee, a young man whose father has just been killed. Along with the help of his uncle, Huang must try to keep his family in control of the Triad gangs of Liberty City. The game looks great and, in typical GTA fashion, is all kinds of fun to play. Though this is a port of a Nintendo DS game, it still lives up to the series’ reputation and may not be the best game for younger gamers. But assuming you’re okay with a bit of violence, the only reason you shouldn’t try Chinatown Wars Lite is if you’ve already got the full version.
