iOS: RISK: The Official Game for iPad - $4

RISK was the game I played against my dad. What I should say is, Risk is the game my dad would beat me at every time we played. But not this year. Not with the iPad version of the seminal board game on sale. I'm going to practice against either five of my closest friends or the computer until I become a RISK master. Oh hey, dad is that your army in Africa? Not anymore! Dropped from $7 to $4. [AppShopper]

iOS: Mask Of Ninja : Last Hero - Free

Is there anything mystical that can't be attributed to ninjas? Today's magical artifact that's attached to these awesome Japanese assassins is a mask with the soul of past ninjas that give you special powers. Sure, that seems plausible. Mask of Ninja has three different heros with different story arcs. So, you could potentially play this side-scroller three times. I'm sure the number three will be the next ninja power we'll see in a game. Dropped from $1 to Free. [Via Appsylum]
