It's Friday, at least here in the western hemisphere, and a bunch developers seem to have decided to discount their apps. Everything from triple-A games to handy tools are on sale up to 80%. Some have even gone free. Without any further ado, let's get to the deals - if you can't see the widgets right away, wait for the page to load them all. Keep in mind that the widgets below may not reflect current prices.
Games
[appbrain_app name="EPOCH" pname='com.uppercut_games.epoch']
EPOCH, an impressive Unreal-powered cover shooter, is on sale just a couple of weeks after its Android debut. Normally $4.99, you can pick it up for just a buck right now, a savings of 80%. We've got a review coming for EPOCH tomorrow, but I can tell you right now, it's well worth a dollar if you're a fan of console-style third person shooters.

[appbrain_app name="Gangstar Rio: City of Saints" pname='com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftG4HM']
Gameloft's organized crime opus Gangstar Rio: City of Saints is $4.99, normally $6.99, a savings of 30%. This game is a rip-off of Saints Row, which in turn borrows liberally from Grand Theft Auto, so Gameloft is taking its usual barely-restrained antics to the next level. Even so, there's plenty out there who love the kooky series.

[appbrain_app name="Yesterday." pname='com.bulky.Yesterday.premium']
BulkyPix has two games for 50% off each: the thriller-adventure game Yesterday (now $2.99) and the tower defense shooter Redneck Revenge (now just a buck). Both have been well-received, but if you like old-school point-and-click adventure games, you'll want to pounce on Yesterday in particular.

Tools
[appbrain_app name="Root Call Blocker Pro" pname='fahrbot.apps.rootcallblocker.pro']
Root Call Blocker is a savior for those afflicted with chronic telemarketers. It isn't the prettiest app around, but it's gotten a Holo update since we reported on it a couple of years ago, and it's as useful as ever. Root Call Blocker is just $2.99 this weekend, down 57% from its regular price of $6.99.

[appbrain_app name="Mobile Doc Scanner (MDScan)" pname='com.stoik.mdscan']
The interface on Mobile Doc Scanner isn't much, but it's undeniably useful. Take a photo of a document, and this app will realign and clean the photo, turning your phone into a quick and dirty scanner. Scanned docs are output to PDF. It's on sale for 80%, just a dollar.
[/appbrain_app]
[appbrain_app name="Oxford Advanced Learner's 8" pname='com.slovoed.oald']
Here's a double dose of language tools: the Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary and the ad-free Dictionary.com app. The former is half off (but still pretty expensive) at $14.99, while the latter is 66% off, for just a buck.
[/appbrain_app]
[appbrain_app name="Dictionary.com Premium" pname='com.dictionary.paid']
[/appbrain_app]
[appbrain_app name="Call Notes Pro Sale" pname='com.nikanorov.callnotespro']

Music Apps
[appbrain_app name="n7music Player Full Version Unlocker" pname='com.n7mobile.nplayerunlocker']
We've featured the n7music Player before. It's got one of the most adaptable and unique interfaces out there, along with a fully integrated file browser (handy for finding those downloaded tracks or podcasts without messing with your Google Play Music playlist). The unlock app is $1.99 today, 33% off.
[/appbrain_app]
[appbrain_app name="GoneMAD Music Player Unlocker" pname='gonemad.gmmp.unlocker']
The GoneMAD player has a small but dedicated userbase, who appreciates support for massive libraries (50,000 songs or more) and incredibly dense equalizer options. The unlocker is on sale for just a dollar, an impressive 75% off.

Most of the apps above are on sale for this weekend only. If you want to take advantage of the low prices, move now, not later.
