This week, we've got some great new deals worth 50% or more (like, FREE!) off of a variety of apps and games.

Zombies Can't Jump

Starting us off, we have Zombies Can't Jump, which is normally $1.99 in the Windows Store, but this week it's FREE! Can't get much better than that, can you?

It's also nicely integrated with Windows 8.1: you can snap it to the side of any other app for easy access, and you can search the dictionary from other apps via the Windows Search charm. If you've been holding back on getting this because of the price (it's normally $29.99 on Windows or $27.99 on Windows Phone), be sure to grab it this week for just $14.99 on Windows, and $13.99 on Windows Phone.
