Ticket To Ride Pocket has now gone free for iPhone. After winning several Apple Design awards and hitting #1 in several countries, Ticket To Ride Pocket can now be downloaded for free for the first time in well over 2 years. It is regularly listed at $2 and has a 4.5/5 star rating from nearly 26,000 reviewers.

Essentially an adaption of the popular board game, Ticket To Ride is billed as an easy to learn, but very difficult to master train adventure/strategy game. Features:

  • A SOLO and PASS-and-PLAY version of the US map that made the original Ticket to Ride board game so compelling and popular (2 million copies and counting…).
  • LOCAL play support over a same Wi-Fi or Bluetooth network, making it perfect for a game-on-the-go between friends.
  • A new MULTI mode for playing asynchronously with one or more online friends, using Game Center under iOS 5. You can even play multiple games simultaneously.
  • 30 uniquely fun Game Achievements you can win while playing SOLO!
  • Distinct leader boards showing your highest scores in 2-3 and 4-5 player modes and on Game Center.
  • Four distinct AI personalities to compete against.
  • A new under 2 minute Tutorial video, custom-shot for the iPhone & iPod Touch.

iPhone: Ticket to Ride Pocket: FREE (Reg. $2)

You’ll also find that Ticket to Ride Europe Pocket for iPhone has gone free today (Reg. $2), the new Free App of the Week is ready to download and the rest of our best game deals can be found here. And you might as well grab some free iTunes money while you’re at it.

After enjoying one of the most successful multi-platform runs in recent memory, Minecraft is back again with its newly released Story Mode title on iOS and Android, as well as other platforms. This new rendition, from Telltale Games, builds on the success of the original title by bringing campaign-style play to the mix.

Jesse, the main character, adventures through the Overworld in the first episode The Order of the Stone. For the first time, Minecraft gamers will experience dialogue and have choices that effect the outcome of each episode. The voice-overs are handled by a number of celebrities including Patton Oswald, Ashley Johnson, Scott Porter and others. There are a total of five sections to the game, which can be purchased at a 25% discount through the app.

Minecraft: Story Mode is available today in iOS and Android app stores for $4.99. Head below for a gameplay trailer and a full description. Have a child interested in Minecraft? Learn to code with these polygonal-inspired guides as a part of today’s Amazon Gold Box.

NBA 2K16 hits iOS and Android with new gameplay, controls and updated graphics

We’re under two weeks until the NBA season officially tips off and I cannot wait. There are so many questions that linger… Will the Warriors repeat? How good are the Spurs? Will Boogie Cousins hurt George Karl?

In the meantime, I’ll have to virtually ball out. Thankfully NBA 2K16 for mobile devices has hit and is ready to download for $7.99 on iOS and Android today. The console version dropped a few weeks back to rave reviews, so I’m looking forward to playing the handheld rendition.

This year’s game includes updated graphics, a new control system that is more in line with the console experience and a full featured MyCareer mode. You can take full control of your team with season modes, crafting your virtual line-up to your exact specifications. That means Paul George will have to play the four spot, whether he likes it or not!

New Halo 5: Guardians trailer drops as retailers ramp-up pre-order deals

It’s October and that means that it is Halo 5 month. The much anticipated title is set to launch on the 27th and we couldn’t be more excited. It has been a largely quiet few months since we saw our first glimpse of Halo 5 back at E3 and Microsoft detailed a new limited edition console.

Today was our first glimpse of the storyline that strays Master Chief from his moral compass. Now four soldiers must travel across the galaxy to return our hero to his rightful place. No matter, the trailer looks gorgeous and we’re just 15 days away from its release.

Prime members can currently save $10 off the regular listing, knocking the price down to $49.99 by pre-ordering through Amazon, which includes an exclusive Projection SMG with Long Barrel weapon and Saturnine Visor. Gamers Club Unlocked members can grab Halo 5: Guardians for $48 at Best Buy. Of course, the Limited Edition and Collector’s Edition each offer unique add-ons to the game itself.

As always, you can find the best console gaming deals each morning in our daily roundups.

In today’s best game/app deals, Amazon is offering Splatoon on Wii U for $44.99 shipped (matched at Best Buy). That’s $45 under our previous mention and the lowest we have seen the game go for from a trusted retailer. Along receiving its very own set of Inkling amiibo, Splatoon released to solid reviews for its fun and interesting take on the typical arena shooter.

Splatter enemies and claim your turf as ink-spraying, squid-like Inklings in Nintendo’s ultimate mess-fest!

Other notable game deals on Amazon today include Borderlands: The Handsome Collection for $34.99 with free shipping for Prime members (or add at least $0.01 to your order), The Order: 1886 is back down to $19.99 with free Prime shipping and Gears of War Ultimate Edition is available for $36.44 shipped. All of which are either matching or slightly under our previous lows.

We also have a few notable Wii U console bundle deals starting with Target’s $269.99 offer on the Wii U Deluxe Mario Kart 8 bundle. That’s $30 under the going rate, $5 under Best Buy’s sale price that kicked off today and the best we can find. If you would rather the Splatoon Wii U bundle, Best Buy has that on sale $274.99 shipped today, which is the best price we can find.

The App Store Free App of the Week is Wake Alarm Clock ($4 value), Disney’s Star Wars – Heroes Path for iPhone and iPad is now available for free for the very first time, the official Sony PS4 price drops are now live and Tweetbot for Mac dropped to $10 recently (Reg. $13)

Most notably, the Destiny Taken King Limited Edition Bundle is available for $349.99 shipped as part of Best Buy’s Deals of the Day today. That’s the best direct discount on this bundle we have seen. Alternatively, both Amazon and Target are offering this bundle with a $50 gift card for $399 shipped.

It includes everything you would expect along with the main game, a digital voucher for Destiny: The Taken King Digital Collector’s Edition Upgrade, three Legendary gear sets, an Exotic Scout Rifle, a new co-op Strike, and an extra competitive multiplayer map. This version of the game comes with everything that has been released for Destiny thus far.

Best Buy also has an interesting deal today for .EDU email address holders.

Combining all of the items in the bundle together, that’s $210 under the total original price of these items and $130 below the current value. If you’re just looking for the console and aren’t interested in the TV, Amazon has this same bundle for $349 shipped right now.

It comes with the console itself, full-game digital download of Gears of War: Ultimate Edition, Xbox One black wireless controller with a 3.5mm headset jack, early access to the Gears of War 4 Beta, and a physical copy of NBA 2K16.

Robo Wunderkind uses iOS connectivity and LEGO-like blocks to teach children about coding

Avatar for Trevor Daugherty Oct 5 2015 - 4:39 pm PT

Kickstarter has delivered some pretty cool projects over the last couple of years. One of our favorites to come out of the crowd-funding world is the Kano Raspberry Pi microcomputer. As coding has taken off with the success of iOS and Android’s app stores, we are seeing more educators and parents take an interest in using it as a medium for learning. Kano was one of the first coding projects for kids on Kickstarter and we loved it.

Fast forward a year later and another Kickstarter campaign is focused on marrying robotics and coding into a kid-friendly package. Robo Wunderkind uses LEGO skills and iOS/Android connectivity to enable children to build their own robot. So far the response has been through the roof.

Review: Rock Band 4 makes an old favorite come alive with refreshed gameplay, new songs & updated hardware

It has been five long years since we’ve had a new Rock Band release from Harmonix. We were thrilled when it was announced back in the winter that the fourth generation of the popular franchise would be making its way to Xbox One and PlayStation 4. Along with that announcement came word of updated accessories, including a Band-in-a-Box bundle from Mad Catz with a Fender Stratocaster-inspired guitar.

So after five years, what does Rock Band 4 have in store for its loyal following? Aside from updated hardware, a new feature allows gamers to add their own “personal signature” on each song with freestyle guitar solos and drum fills. The game is set to ship tomorrow and we’re ready to tell you about our experience rocking out at home.

The beauty of having a connected home is when products come together that ultimately make our lives easier. With HomeKit-ready devices popping up at many online retailers, now is the time to invest in upgrading your home with the latest internet-connected gear.

Smart locks for our front doors are not a new invention by any means. Schlage has been at the forefront of this movement for sometime. Westinghouse is now making the jump as well with a new product that has an integrated camera, door bell and many of those same smart functions that we’ve seen before.

If you didn’t camp out early this morning for today’s new amiibo figures, chances are you’re coming home empty handed. Some retailers have been putting the new amiibo up online throughout the morning including Walmart, Target, and Gamestop but those opportunities have been pretty random. Conversely, Amazon is clearly laying out its availability plans for the all-new wave 5B amiibo figures…

Camera+ launches its first free version w/ in-app upgrades for advanced shooting features

Makers of the popular Camera+ app, a $3 third-party photography app for iPhone with around 14 million users, today launched its first free version in an attempt to attract even more users to the platform.

Dubbed simply “Camera+ Free,” the app’s creator gave us the rundown on the free experience, noting that it offers the same experience as the paid app minus some of the more advanced features like manual shooting controls and the app’s “The Lab” editing suite. Instead, the free app offers up focus, exposure and macro shooting settings, scene modes including clarity, and 3 free filter packs. Beyond that, users will be able to add-on some of the more advanced features to the free version using in-app purchases, allowing them to essentially unlock the full experience of the paid app.

We want to get the app out to as many people as possible. We currently have 14 million users, but we’d love to see more people using and falling in love with our app. We think by offering people a free version, more people who typically don’t pay for apps will give it a try. If they like it then they may buy some in-apps or just spread the word about our app. – Camera+ cofounder Lisa Bettany

The free version of the Camera+ app is available on the App Store now.
