A handful of the top-rated applications and games in the iTunes App Store have become free ahead of the store’s fifth birthday.

These titles include big-name games like Infinity Blade II, Where’s My Water?, Superbrothers: Sword and Sworcery EP, and Badland. Free non-game apps include Traktor DJ and Barefoot World Atlas.

Some of these free titles were already cheap but a few were relatively expensive. Infinity Blade II, for example, costs $6.99 regularly while Traktor DJ for iPad normally runs $19.99.
