Cricket T20 Fever HD

Price: £1

Summer may seem a long way off just yet but with The Ashes firmly home once again, you can relive  the action with ‘Cricket T20 Fever’. This game brings the world class 20-20 cricket game between top international teams from  around the world together for a little of leather on willow. You can play in a variety of modes including tournaments, ODIs, T20 Matches and even the Powerplay style match.

Assassin’s Creed HD

Price: £3

Unless you’ve got the most generous of contracts, we suggest downloading this heavy weight game via Wi-Fi. It’s well worth it as you get to play Altaïr, the Master Assassin as he sets out on a series of quests in this full 3D historical environments of the Crusade’s Middle East. It’s the closest we’ve seen to the console version, so well worth the entry fee.

Spider-Man: Total Mayhem HD

Price: £3

We love Spiderman nearly as much as we love the Nokia N8, so bringing them together is a given. Our favourite web-slinger is out to save New York from a breakout at Rykers Island. With endless crazies running loose, spider-senses will be jangling and spider-nerves shredded as you fight to prevent a deadly virus from being released onto the city.
