I am a bit of a fiend when it comes to apps and games for my mobile devices, and over the years, I’ve learned to become rather shrewd in what I buy, and when I buy it. While a lot of apps and games are indefinitely free, many of the better offerings charge for the privilege, and what with it being Black Friday today, many coveted paid titles are available absolutely free of charge!

There are so many deals available right now. Yesterday, we gave you a pretty thorough guide to to some of the very best savings available on the market right now, including cheaper iPads, MacBooks, and iPods – as well as a deluge of accessories. As well as Apple’s own offerings, savings can also be had at outlets such as Best Buy, Target, MacMall and Amazon to name a few, so if you want to nab yourself an early Christmas present donning that shinny bitten-apple logo, now is as good a time as any.

The great thing about iOS freebies are that as soon as you’ve purchased, any subsequent updates with new, levels or features are also free, so even if you aren’t immediately sure whether you’ll be requiring the services of that particular app or game, it’s often worth stockpiling them and deleting as and when.

EA, Namco, Gameloft and SEGA are also among the big names offering big savings this Black Friday, and here, we’ve compiled a list of the games and apps gone free on Apple’s iOS:
