This week's first Deal is Earthworm Jim HD by Gameloft. Here's the official description:

Grooooovy! One of the all-time most iconic video game characters is now coming to your smartphone!

Live or re-live the freaky adventures of Earthworm Jim in a refreshing remake of the classic action/platform game.

Jim was an ordinary earthworm who did very earthworm-like things. One day, during a battle in outer space, a suit dropped to Earth and landed on Jim, mutating him into a large and intelligent (at least by earthworm standards) superhero. When Jim learns of the evil plans of Psy-Crow and Queen Slug-for-a-Butt, he decides to rescue Princess What's-Her-Name.

Earthworm Jim HD has dropped from $4.99 to $2.99 for the rest of the week. The standard free trial is also available.

This week's second Deal is Assassin's Creed: Altair's Chronicles HD by Gameloft. Here's the official description:

The benchmark of action-adventure games on next-gen consoles for your smartphone!

Jerusalem, 1191 AD. The Third Crusade between the Crusaders and Saracens is tearing the Holy Land apart.

You are Altaïr, a Master Assassin sent by the Order of the Assassins on a quest to steal the Chalice from the Templars in order to end the Crusades. The fate of the Holy Land depends on you...
