When a couple of EA games mysteriously went on sale, I assumed it was an extension of EA’s Games For Guys promotion, but it looks like I was wrong. Apparently Google unleashed its own “Longest Day Deals” promo today, discounting a slew of apps and games to an amazing $.99. Starting today and running until Thursday June 21, you’ll be able to search through the catalog of “Longest Day Deals” and pick up more mobile software for under $10 than you ever imagined.

In what we can only explain as an extension of the Games For Guys promotion, EA is offering two more hit titles at $.99 a piece. If you head to the Google Play Store now, you’ll find both Mass Effect Infiltrator and NBA JAM on sale, giving you two great games for less than two dollars.

Google’s VP of Product Management, Bradley Horowitz, announced that Google has partnered with Flipboard to integrate Google+ streams into the popular magazine-styled reader. Google+ will join Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, and a host of other social services available on Flipboard thanks to new extended APIs. This new integration is a great step forward for users, especially those who enjoy accessing all of their social content from a single app such as Flipboard.

You know the spiel: “Hit iOS game comes to Android, blah, blah, blah…” I personally can’t stand when developers feel the need to sell their app to Android users by touting their “success” on iOS, but if it helps their game get noticed, then so be it. Developers Free Lunch Design have apparently had some success on iOS with their labyrinth game Dark Nebula, and while that’s great and all, let me tell you a little about the actual game (you know, things like gameplay, features, etc.), instead of how well it did on iOS.

It’s safe to say the majority of us already know the story behind Peter Parker and how he came to be Spider-Man. In case you aren’t familiar with this iconic story, Gameloft has released a prologue video to not only familiarize you with the history, but to show off some more in-game footage.
