It's a good day whenever we can write about id Software twice. In addition to letting loose a cool little update to DOOM Classic, the developer's mobile branch also dropped a great update to its much more recent first-person shooter, RAGE HD [$1.99]. Version 1.21 has been "optimized" for the iPad 2 (we lack specifics on what that entails) and allows for HDMI TV output. Even better, the update packs in a melee mechanic that triggers whenever you push your handheld forward, a new analog stick control option, and addresses some obscure Game Center crash bugs.

If you don't have RAGE but wouldn't mind grabbing it and its update for the price $0, publisher Bethesda has just the solution for you: an online petition (of sorts). When the franchise's Facebook page hits 100,000 "Likes," all variants of the game will go free for an entire week. You can shoot over there right now to sign up and hope that the rest of the Internet responds.

What's next, I wonder. Will we eventually see any of those other RAGE spin-offs that John Carmack teased before? I hope so. QuakeCon is happening pretty soon, so who knows what goodies will get?

This is one of the few times I'll ever write the words "Oh snap" and mean them. Oh snap: more than likely, the next Kairosoft App Store release will be Mega Mall Story, the studio's own spin on simulation tower games. Provided it's actually worming it's way through certification, it'll hit at an odd moment in time where tower simulations have some actual steam. Yoot Tower [$7.99] was a nice re-injection, but Tiny Tower [Free] is putting the genre over the edge.

To be frank, half of my excitement at the moment is simply from knowing what Kairosoft's next title is. The studio is generally pretty bad with its communication. I don't think anyone saw Game Dev Story [$3.99]�coming, but we should have, at least, received indications that Pocket Academy [$3.99 /�Lite]�and Hot Springs Story [$3.99 /�Lite]�were slated to be follow-ups in the US.

The reason why we know is thanks to the official Kairosoft web site. Tucked under it's other iOS game banners is this message with a Mega Mall banner on top of it: "According to a well-informed source, a hot new app is bound for release soon… how about passing on the word via Twitter and other social media?" Done and done! Now, give me! Thanks!

Dekovir's Amazing Breaker [$.99] kinda came out of nowhere. One day, Eli stumbled upon a little fanfare in the message board and decided to review it. Next thing he knew, he was singing about how good it was on our podcast and serving anyone within listening distance with a heaping plate of praise. Chances are you if you heard him, you already grabbed the game, but if you decided to pass, you really have no excuse now. It's free. Like, free-free free.

I'm a fan, too, though mostly only because I like smashing precious or beautiful things. The hook revolves around 'breaking' sculptures with a bomb-filled catapult. As the intensity of the sculptures ratchets up, your bombs gain powers for maximum obliteration possibilities. It isn't rocket science, but it's still pretty fun.

The free-ness of Amazing Breaker will only last the next 16-ish hours, so if you've got about five or so seconds go ahead and grab it. I guess there's a chance you'll regret it, but it's not like you lost anything out of the deal.
