Dare I say that yet again? That we have it all? Actually, this week I’ve picked out a few more lite/free games that stood above the rest. Plus there were some useful utilities and limited time freebies this week. Take a look already!

• Digital Compass for iPhone - Yes, the iPhone already comes with a digital compass, but it doesn’t look like this.  This is one well-designed compass app.  In addition to direction, it provides exact degrees of direction, lattitude and longitude.  Plus, it looks great.  Did I mention that already?
• Sylo Synthesiser - Design your own synthesizer sound with this virtual instrument app.  You can either build a waveform or record a sound with the iPad’s mic and tweak it.  Then, play to your heart’s content.  There’s a lot of possibility here, but if you want to record or save your instruments, you’ll have to upgrade to the full version.
• Aqua Moto Racing 2 Lite - Race and trick around three courses with your jet ski in this sequel.  They say they’ve improved the game in every possible way, which apparently is quite the task since the original game was pretty well received.  This game brings me right back to the days of Nintendo 64, only my thumb hurts less this way.
• Eliminate GunRange Free - The full version of this game was one of the first to embrace the gyroscope in the iPhone 4.  Now they’ve tweaked their game and it’s possible to play with any iDevice, but it still performs the best on the iPhone 4 with the gyro.  Basically, you just shoot timed targets in this game, so it can get a bit repetitive.  There are 12 guns to choose from, though, and everyone likes guns.  The game is ad supported, so if you’re sick of them, just pay the buck for the full game.
• We Farm for iPad - If you like We Rule for iPad and Farmville, then maybe you can combine your interests and play this game.  We Farm challenges you to, well, farm.  How much farming can you take?
• Square Dare - An iPad-only version of the classic dots and boxes game.  The graphics are as nice as you could expect for such a simple game.  Just capture the squares like you used to do when “pen and paper” was still the most played game around.
• Mirro rZoom Free - The only iPhone 4 mirror app that zooms.  That is all.
• Live Journal - The year 2000 is calling with this awesome new journal service called LiveJournal.  I’m not sure anyone still uses LiveJournal, but they just made an app, so I trust someone still does.
• Flashlight - Still don’t have a flashlight app for iPhone 4?  No worries, this one does it all: flashlight and strobe without ads.  You can control the amount of time the light is on and off during strobe independently.
• Mini Webcam - Use your iPhone as a networked webcam.  You can view the output of the camera built into your iPhone via any web browser on the same network as your iPhone.  That kind of limits its functionality, but then again, the iPhone is way more expensive than a webcam.
• The Word - Thanks to Vitamin Water, you can get Colbert’s the Word app for free for a limited time.  It gives you access to every “The Word” segment he’s ever had.  Has he ever done “Bird”?  I thought that was the word. A b-b-bird bird bird, bird is the word…  Who needs to steal songs when I can just get them stuck in your head?
• Ultimate Solitaire - Free for a limited time, this app has the two most popular solitaire games: one and three card Klondike.  And I’m sure that’s more than enough for many of you, so have fun and download it before they start charging again.
