Most folks say you can’t really do much with PHP 20 – except get you that budget ice cream drumstick that’s all over the local TV ads. But don’t tell that to Google, cause they just launched a new Sale on the Android Market putting up a bunch of games (and some pretty good apps) for only US $0.49 – a centavo shy of 21 Philippine zennies. Essentially giving you enough gaming (and apping) for much less than your typical visit to the local pirated DVD-DVD guy. Even though you’ll still need to go to him for your pirated Korean Telenovelas later. There’s also a whole new renaming thing going on, replacing “Android Market” with the name “Google Play”. We don’t know what that’s all about, but we really couldn’t care less. Hop on over the jump for a list of apps you can get for a Manuel Quezon each – and pay attention too since they got Need for Speed, Dead Space, N.O.V.A. 2 and a bunch of other really cool apps.

The Android Market Google Play list of apps on sale are: (With recommendations from us)

• World of Goo
• Jamie’s 20 Minute Meals
• SHADOWGUN – Haven’t tried this, but looks fun. Bought it.
• Osmos HD
• TuneIn Radio Pro
• I Just Forgot – Little Critter
• Sprinkle
• 
  Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit – It’s a Need for Speed game. On your phone. For 20 bux. Buy it.
• Asphalt 6: Adrenaline
• Dead Space – Unless you squeal like a little sissy when fighting off the alien “zombie” infection, you should definitely buy this.
• Business Calendar
• SoundHound
• mSecure – Password Manager
• NFL Flick Quarterback
• 
  N.O.V.A. 2 – Great first person shooter on your phone. Too bad it wasn’t compatible with our devices. Would buy it if it were.
• Quell Reflect
• Endomondo Sports Tracker Pro – The free non-Pro version works fine, but if you have 20 bucks to spare, sure.
• Flick Golf Extreme
• They Need To Be Fed
• Paper Camera – Great little cartoon effect camera
• ZOOKEEPER DX TouchEdition
• SwiftKey X Keyboard – Best predictive keyboard on Android, bar none.
• Camera ZOOM FX – Multi-function camera app. Good if you like advanced camera options.
• It’s Tyrannosaurus Rex
• 
  Pocket League Story – Its from the guys what brought you Game Dev Story, so you know its good.

You can pretty much tell which ones we bought in that list, and the ones we’ve bolded out are the ones we recommend. Either way, for a hundred bucks or so, you should be running around with a pretty hefty stash of games (and a predictive keyboard). You can browse the list by going to the Google Play link here, or starting up the Android Market on your phone and clicking on the “Play Apps 50% Off” banner on the top of the screen. Of course, this will be limited to consumers with credit cards or capable of paying online, so if you don’t you’ll have to find some way around it – or buy yourself a Cornetto. Have fun!

P.S.: We can’t help but speculate that this is Google’s attempt at slightly getting publicity to combat the Apple iPad 3/HD announcement which will be happening in just a few more hours. Who knows, you could be too busy playing games instead, right?
