Football Manager Handheld 2012 – the iPad and iOS version of the venerable football management app – has had a big price drop today and is now on sale at 50% off. It’s listed at $4.99 today, down from its standard $9.99.
I’ve been a huge fan of football management games for years and years now, starting with Championship Manager back in the day and through several generations of Football Manager. I spent lots of hours with last year’s Football Manager Handheld 2011 on the iPad, and I’m happy to say this year’s version, Football Manager Handheld 2012, is even better. I’ve already achieved a crazy addictiveness rating in this year’s version and I’ll do a review of it soon – in the meantime, I’ll just say it’s a great game if you like this genre.
I don’t know what the price drop is in aid of, or how long it will last – I do know this is a great price for this quality game. If you’ve been thinking on this one at all, today is a good day to grab it.

NFL Flick Kicker HD is the latest iPad game from the masters of flick games for the iPad, Full Fat Games. Full Fat are the lovely folks who make the excellent NFL Flick Quarterback HD and Flick Soccer HD, as well as one of my favorite iPad games ever, Flick Golf Extreme HD.
All the Flick games from Full Fat share some common features that make them big fun and highly addictive to play. They all make it very easy to get to grips with how to flick to hit the golf ball / throw / kick the ball, and to learn how to flick again while the ball is in flight to achieve better results. Then they all present a great range of challenges and levels to keep you honing your skills and coming back for more. They’re easy to dive into when you’ve got 5 minutes to kill and just as compelling if you want to spend a nice long block of time with a game.
So needless to say I’m very happy to see this new release of NFL Flick Kicker while we’re in the run-up to the Super Bowl. I’ve got the game installed already but haven’t had a chance to try it out yet.

Flick Soccer! HD – the excellent freekick and dead ball striking app for the iPad – is available for free this weekend. The game normally goes for $4.99 and is free this weekend as part of a celebration by its developers (Full Fat Games) marking their 3rd number one game in the UK (NFL Flick Quarterback).
Here’s a little intro the game and some of its key features:
Use Flick Soccer’s unique ‘after-touch’ ball control to try and hit the target like a real Pro. Only Flick Soccer gives you this level of complete control and pinpoint accuracy. Featuring 5 modes of play, gorgeous graphics and an intelligent goalkeeper, Flick Soccer really is one of a kind.
• Full Fat Flick Controls mean everyone can play!
• Shoot for insane scores in Quickshot mode, it’s you vs the keeper.
• Take it to the limit in Endurance mode, set piece action with bonus items!
• Try out Challenge mode for the ultimate skill contest.
• Have you got the accuracy to hit the bar? Find out in Crossbar mode.
• Smash It! breaking glass panels against the clock.
• Unbelievably accurate flick controls for stunning top-corner shots.
• The most realistic goalkeeper on the App Store.
• Interactive defenders will jump and react to shots.
• Gorgeous Retina visuals and immersive sound.

I’ve played quite a few similar soccer games on the iPad and Flick Soccer HD is easily the best. As with all the Flick games, the level of control you can get with your flicking is unique and makes the game compelling and addictive to play.
