This week saw what’s fast becoming a Thursday expectation – tons of new games. There were a lot of free apps that came out last week too, one of which we’ve been eager to see for a long time. We collected our favorite five apps and games from the past week that we don’t think you’ll want to miss. If you have a favorite we missed, please let us know in the comments.
Skype for iPad
Download Skype for iPa [1] d Here
Free
The most anticipated free app that was released this week was Skype for iPad. The video chat service, that doubles as a VOIP long distance carrier for some, has had an iPhone app for a while, but now Skype is iPad native and the contacts area is redesigned. The app looks sweet and the video calls look great on iPad 2
Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions
Buy Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions [2] Here
$15.99 – iPhone Only
While the price may seem high, remember this is the latest instalment of Final Fantasy [3] – the Square Enix franchise that has had RPG gamers in its thralls for decades. This title is a spin-off of Final Fantasy Tactics for Playstation and has been out on PSP for a while. Final Fantasy games have been tricking their way onto the App Store for several months – now Final Fantasy Tactics is on iOS too. We’ll have a full review for you soon. While to those unfamiliar with this genre or brand the cost may seem prohibitive, the other titles in the series sell for around the same, and fans are downloading it in droves.
Editions by AOL
Download Editions by AOL [4] Here
Free – iPad Only
In part we want to cry shenanigans, in part we want to settle in for a read. While it’s painfully obvious that AOL took not just it’s inspiration, but parts of its GUI from ZITE, this personalized news and lifestyle magazine for iPad is stylish and allows readers to customize everything from the magazine cover’s color to the contents inside. Don’t be put off by the small selection of categories, many popular sources can be added once you get into the section settings. The magazine looks sharp, is easy to read and has lots of social media sharing built in.
Domino’s Pizza LLC
Download Domino’s Pizza LLC [5] Here
Free – iPhone Only
It was a consumer’s bonanza week of apps, and one of those leading the pack in popularity is Domino’s Pizza free iPhone app. We don’t really have to tell you what do right? Find the nearest location using GPS or a zip code, place an order – or get a Google map to lead the pizza-starved to the nearest store for takeout. US-only.
Ikea Catalog

Buy Ikes Catalog for iPad [7] Here
Free
Shoppers and folks like us who just like to see what the Swedish design company has to offer, will enjoy having the 2012 Ikea catalog not just on iPhone, but finally in crisp display on iPad as well. There have been previous iOS Ikea catalogues, but this update has a store finder. Unlike most of the free choices on this list, and while the new iPad version is US-only, the iPhone app works all over the world.
