Gameloft has made Gangstar Rio: City of Saints and N.O.V.A. 3, two of its high-end mobile games, free for a limited time on iOS. Both titles are universal releases that can be played on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch, and they’re usually priced at $4.99 and $6.99 respectively — saving you $11.98.

Gangstar Rio: City of Saints is the latest title in the Gangstar series, which is Gameloft’s answer to Grand Theft Auto. Set in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, it boasts over 60 varied missions in five 3D environments, including the favelas, business district, beaches, and jungle.

You’ll be tasked with killing corrupt politicians, protecting witnesses, delivering special packages, stealing cars, and trying to find out who tried to kill you. You’ll get the chance to play with a ton of weapons, including handguns, rifles, bazookas, and grenades, and you’ll drive dozens of high-speed vehicles, including planes, helicopters, and tanks.

N.O.V.A. 3 is the closest you’ll get to Halo on your iOS device, and it promises to be the “most immersive and impressive sci-fi FPS franchise on smartphones.” It’s also one of my favorite first-person shooters on iOS.

N.O.V.A. 3 offers great graphics optimized for Retina displays, an exciting storyline across ten levels, and dozens of weapons and power-ups. It also has a great online multiplayer option with seven different game modes for up to 12 players, and you can take advantage of the Voice Chat feature to talk to friends in real-time.

Both Gangstar Rio and N.O.V.A. 3 are available for free in the App Store now. Gameloft says the deal is only valid this weekend, so don’t miss out.

The new Yahoo! Mail app for iOS has received another update just two weeks after its big revamp. This release adds support for Apple’s AirPrint service, allowing you to wirelessly print emails and attachments from your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.

You’ll need a printer that’s compatible with AirPrint, of course, or a desktop application that turns any printer into an AirPrint-compatible one — such as HandyPrint for Mac. You can then print emails and attachments you receive in Yahoo! Mail wirelessly.

To use the new AirPrint feature in an email, simply tap the reply button at the bottom of the screen and choose the ‘Print’ option. To print an attachment, open the attachment and then find the ‘Print’ option inside the share button.

You can select the printer you wish to send your documents to, and the number of copies you’d like to print.

You can download the latest Yahoo! Mail update with support for AirPrint from the App Store now.

Analog Camera for iPhone by Realmac Software

From the wonderful folks who brought you Clear for iPhone and Mac, Realmac Software announced today it will bring a few of its stunning filters from Analog for Mac to the iPhone with Analog Camera.

Analog Camera for iPhone resembles the simplistic, gesture based UI of Clear for iPhone, featuring soft square or rectangle buttons that pop up upon contact and prompt fun, clever sounds.

Check out a quick look and video below:

Photo capture is built right into Analog Camera, of course, and a whimsical tone chimes through a progression as each photo is taken. The jingle is similar to the sound cued when marking off a task in Clear.

Touching each filter square pops up a larger view of how your filtered photo will appear. This effect is familiar if you have ever moved pieces around a Letterpress board on your iPhone or iPad.

Analog Camera allows you to take photos, apply filters, and save to your Camera Roll, but you can also import photos and apply filters to pictures you have already taken. Analog Camera is a fair counterpart to Analog for Mac with its support for importing and exporting.

Sharing is built right into Analog Camera with colorful share buttons for Facebook and Twitter prominently featured in the same view where filters are previewed and applied. You can share filtered photos over Instagram, Path, Evernote, email, and more directly within the app.

Analog Camera should enhance Instagram, not replace it; social is built-in by way of sharing rather than building a system for following users and locking your photos up within the app. Its makers encourage users to tag their photos with #analogcamera on Twitter and Instagram, where users can follow news updates and photo examples of Analog Camera.

Realmac Software was able to offer a modern approach the to-do list with an admiral level of charm and personality. Analog Camera appears to have delightfully applied that friendly coat of paint to iPhone photography.

We expect Analog Camera to hit the App Store later this month. You can sign up to receive an update when Analog Camera launches.

Twitterrific, one of my favorite Twitter clients on iOS, got a new update this week that adds Readability integration for bookmarking tweets you want to catch up with later, as well as support for image hosting service Droplr. The update also comes with a ton of bug fixes and improvements.

In addition to Readability and Droplr integration, you’ll now find that the read/unread state of tweets updates as you scroll through your timeline, and that indicators in timeline tabs are updated as tweets are read.

The app also boasts VoiceOver feedback after performing profile actions, a new larger font size for users on iPad, and it now automatically clears login data when you disable third-party services, such as Instapaper or Pocket.

There are also a whole host of bug fixes, which should make the app a little more stable:

• Compose attachment buttons are now disabled during @name autocomplete
• Fixed a bug that could cause replies to be counted more than once
• Improved reliability when clearing push notification badges
• VoiceOver no longer repeatedly announces new tweet count
• When composing replies, VoiceOver reads text first instead of original tweet

You can download the latest Twitterrific release from the App Store now using the source link below. For those who don’t already own it, Twitterrific 5 is priced at $2.99, and it’s a universal app that supports iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.

Killing iOS apps — not just closing them, but killing them completely — is nowhere near as simple as it should be.

First you have to double-tap the home button to open the multitasking tray, then you have to tap and hold the app’s icon, and then you have to close it by tapping the tiny circle. That’s a pain if you have several apps you wish to kill at once.

But with a new tweak for jailbroken iOS devices called Slide2Kill, you can completely kill iOS apps with just a swipe.

If you’ve ever used Auxo, you will already be familiar with this concept. It’s actually a great way to add one of Auxo’s best features if you don’t like Auxo itself. Rather than killing iOS apps Apple’s way, Slide2Kill allows you to simply swipe them out of the multitasking tray.

It’s super handy when you want to close more than one iOS app at once, because you can just quickly swipe through them; there’s no need to tap and hold anything, and it doesn’t take forever.

You can even setup the tweak so that swiping one way kills apps one-by-one, while swiping the other way kills all of the apps you have running in the background all at once.

The tweak isn’t perfect, however, as noted by Cody Lee over at iDownloadBlog:

My only problem with Slide2Kill is that it feels like a beta version. Animations are slow at times, and there’s been a few occasions where the entire tweak just quit responding to my gestures. I had to respring my iPhone to fix it.

Hopefully those issues will be quashed in future updates, because Slide2Kill is a great tweak. You can download it now from Cydia’s BigBoss repository, and it’s completely free.
