Huffington Post for Android update (Free)

Whats it about? The newly redesigned Huffington Post for Android brings the news site's articles, blogs and connectivity straight to your phone or tablet.

Map of the Internet (Free)

Whats it about? Map of the Internet shows you all the networks connected together to create what we know as the Internet, on a beautiful minimalist map of Earth.

Whats cool? If you've ever wanted to see what the Internet might look like from space if it were somehow lit up, Map of the Internet is your app. The app displays lots of different interconnected networks, service providers and systems to create a huge web, and presents them in 3-D, so you can move the globe around and tap different nodes of the Internet to learn more about them. The app also includes historical information about the Internet that can tell you a little b it about how different parts and elements came to be over time.

Whos it for? If you're fascinated by the geographical and historical sides of the Internet, check out Map of the Internet.

Whats it like? You can learn more stuff about the Internet (and other things) from Wikipedia.

Temple Run Oz (Free)

Whats it about? Tie-in title Temple Run Oz slightly alters the Temple Run 2 formula with elements from the film Oz the Great and Powerful, to successfully make something that's familiar but fresh.

Whats cool? Like Temple Run Brave before it, Temple Run Oz brings Imagi's formula for a behind-the-back 3-D runner and gives it a Disney film spin. While Temple Run Oz feels a lot like Temple Run 2, the game on which it is based, it iterates slightly with elements from the movie to create something new. As you run down the Yellow Brick Road, Temple Run Oz's pathway twists, rises and drops seemingly even more than what we're used to in Temple Run 2. Throw in segments that include riding in a hot air balloon, dodging flying monk eys and more, and Temple Run Oz does a solid job of setting itself apart without straying too far from the beaten path.

Whos it for? Temple Run 2 fans and those excited about the film will find lots to like here.

Whats it like? You should definitely try Temple Run 2, and for another great tie-in game, go with Angry Birds Star Wars.
