[Update] Independence Day sale round-up: Bastion for a buck, and more

The beginning of July is marked by Independence Day over in the United States, and many mobile publishers take the opportunity to let freedom ring by dropping the price of some of their most popular games.

Warner Bros. started the ball rolling in the App Store by placing several Pocket Gamer Award-winners on deep discount including the Gold Award-winning Bastion.

Here's a complete list of the iOS titles currently on sale courtesy of WB. All are priced at 99c / 69p in honour of the holiday and make for excellent diversions if you're the one stuck on barbecue detail this Thursday.

• Bastion 99c / 69p (originally $4.99 / £2.99)
• Batman Arkham City Lockdown (originally $5.99 / £3.99)
• Lego Batman: DC Super Heroes (originally $4.99 / £2.99)
• Lego Harry Potter: Years 5 - 7 99c / 69p (originally $4.99 / £2.99)
