The only thing boring about Space Expedition's lonely journey is its title.

This is a game for baseball freaks first and foremost, and those freaks who loved iOOTP 2011 who want 2012 players and tweaked gameplay will want to snatch this one up right away.

This one has enough potential to be as huge as its older siblings: Angry Birds and Cut the Rope.

There are definitely some rough edges to P1 Select, but the core of what’s here is so cool and creative that they’re easy to look past. Do yourself a favor and go play P1 Select. It’s hard to imagine a more imaginative roguelike in such a tight little package.

No one can out run the post-apocalypse, but it sure is fun to try.

It's a nice looking, fun game that will keep you playing for some time with the addition of unlockable ships. For the the same price as a burger on a dollar menu, this one's a no brainer.

Feed the Penguin Premium is challenging and sure to keep players occupied longer than most casual games. I loved the quirkiness, which I felt made it stand out in the overcrowded App Store.

The retro-style graphics are original, bright and humorous at times and the game has a lot of character.

Thinking outside the box may not be a neanderthal's strong suit. Luckily the player is there to do the thinking for them.

Zombie Slash clones Fruit Ninja to a ridiculous level, but for those not bothered about innovation and originality, the game offers plenty of spooky fun that's ideal for the Halloween season. Despite my better judgement wanting to pick on Zombie Slash for its blatant copying, I couldn't help but enjoy my time playing it.

If you have the patience for Antihero, it can be a really rewarding experience. It’s a digital board game that provides a bunch of depth, and it also happens to look and feel pretty polished. The only real problem though is that game times can get really long, even when the results feel all but decided. This can make the game feel ill-suited for mobile, even though it is otherwise looks and feels immaculately made for it.

Jolly Try-N-Spy is a delightful hidden puzzle app with a Christmas theme.

There's a certain amount of randomness to success here, but Stardust Hero proves to be a highly entertaining Peggle-style game.

With plenty of charm and not many reasons for cynicism, Tanuki Forest is a delightful change of pace for the Endless Runner.

Air Penguin is the perfect example of a quality casual game. It's simple yet gives you reason to keep playing. Plus it's fun to drop into for five minutes at a time or for much longer too.

Invoking the memories of some great old games, Big Action Mega Fight! is a mindless but enjoyable brawler.

As a game, Hidden Folks is still just a hidden object game, but as an experience, it's a lot more than that. Its charming presentation really brings every scene to life and layers in a sense of discovery beyond just finding items on a list. This liveliness is so compelling that it's hard for me not to recommend this game, even if you flat-out don't like hidden object games.

Zoidtrip is a warm and weird journey under the waves.

The Villain can be a good bit of innocent fun although it isn’t exactly the most polished iOS game out there. The objectives are a little scattered and the interface is somewhat clunky, but conjuring up a small army of adorable skeletons to do the dirty work is always a good time.

This strategy game implements a risk vs. reward system that's pretty compelling, despite the lack of a flashy combat system.

If you are a fan of gravity based puzzle titles, you'll certainly get a kick out of Blind World.

A worthy buy if you love the genre or are a fan of Trenches… just be ready for some frustration.

Duckie Deck Trash Toys allows children to virtually make arts and crafts out of found objets and other odds and ends.

This ambitious puzzle game sequel is a ruzzingly good time.

Worst of all every character's voice is an ear-piercing shriek. Still, even if they'll want to mute it, any control freaks looking for a fun and varied way to keep busy should give Motor World Car Factory a look.

I am always very happy to hear when a new roleplaying app from Dr. Panda has been released, and the new Dr. Panda's Airport is no exception.

Millie's Crazy Dinosaur Adventure is an interactive storybook for young children, both fun and imaginative.

SketchPhrase is a tough game to pin down simply because so much of it is dependent on the randomness of player selection and participation. When it goes well it can be incredibly goofy and fun. When it doesn't, it can be fairly boring.

There's precious little out there that's quite like The Grading Game. Being able to educate people about important subjects and life skills, such as the ability to string a sentence together, is a worthy thing in itself. The fact it's hugely entertaining makes it all the better.

This manic action game works well on mobile thanks to its swift pacing, slow-motion mechanics, and clever scoring system.

A great little retro arcade game – and I mean arcade in the truest sense. This feels like something that could have been made in the 1980′s and just recently unearthed. This is 'retraux' in incredibly fine form, and well worth checking out for fans of arcade games and fans of retro-styled games.

At times, it might feel like Virtual City 2: Paradise Resort is one of the more challenging titles in the genre. Compared to some of G5′s other casual entries, it is, but its keen ability to keep things interesting is bound to keep fans playing for many hours to come.

Bird Alone isn't your typical game experience, and this makes it a bit of an acquired taste. It's also what makes it special, though. Chatting with a bird on and off over time is remarkably endearing thanks to some clever writing. Although you might not spend a whole lot of time "playing" it, Bird Alone is still well worth your time.

Definitely one of the most difficult tower defense games out there. Beating the first level in itself is a chore, even on easy mode. With a few levels at your disposal and 3 difficulty levels to play through, you should have more than enough game to play, as long as you don't delete it out of frustration.

There's nothing to nit-pick. Boomlings looks good, is highly polished and doesn't abuse the freemium model. It's a great time waster with habit-forming potential.

Live out life as a vault overseer in the Fallout universe in this free-to-play management tapper.

Grandpa in Space includes both NASA videos and space facts, as well as mini-games for young children.

While some of the elements that make The Naked Gun: ICUP unique and interesting also get in the way at times, it's still a worthwhile adventure. And while the jokes (like the game itself) can be hit-or-miss, when they hit they're an absolute riot.

Ultimately, Wipeout is a thoroughly enjoyable game. Players are sure to have fun diving, running and falling all the way to the finish line. The Game Center integration, when combined with the competivie nature of Wipeout, is sure to keep players occupied even when they've finished unlocking all the items.

With so much going for it though, it's hard not to urge gamers to pick up their sword and fight for the crown. Or at least pick up their mobile device. That's probably safer.

It is hard to go wrong when tables are obviously being designed by fans of a specific property.

Perhaps it's the fact that XenoCube feels more like playing six 2D puzzle games at the same time, rather than dealing with depth and volume like many 3D puzzlers, that makes it so much more accessible.

Random Heroes 3 offers up more of the good stuff (e.g. shooting and destruction).

Suzy Cube is a simple 3D platformer, but it's definitely one of the best for mobile.

Before you decide on purchasing the fairly pricy game though, just know that there are very few graphics in Football Manager 2011. You aren't really playing soccer, you're just managing your team.

A unique and fun twist on tower defense games. It's out now for $0.99 so the price is right for what it has to offer. It does have some drawbacks in repetition and depth, but for those who don't mind, it's a quirky little game to have on board.

Greater Than Games' tabletop classic, Sentinels of the Multiverse swoops in to save the day on iPad.

Millennia turn to minutes in this frantic strategy game.

Dark Avenger certainly isn't the deepest or most compelling action RPG on the App Store but it can be good fun in short bursts.

Crash Mayhem basically boils down to a mini-game collection that brings together many of the gameplay elements and mechanics made popular in other iOS driving games.

Minor quibbles aside, Trenches Generals is an engaging, fresh take on the stale tower defense genre. While it is a far cry from a true wargame or a simulation, it has enough atmosphere to connect players to the time period and the game itself – and I STILL don't like to see my little soldiers die.

Stranger Things is one of the most surprising tie-in games out there. It's a clever homage to the show's setting and the kinds of games from that era, it's fun to play, and it's completely free. It may not do much to capture the same tone of the show and some of its gameplay might feel dated, but that's ok. Stranger Things: The Game is a fun experience that treats its audience with some respect, which is a thing few other tie-in games can claim.

With more than 240 different puzzles that generally last all of 15 seconds, it's incredibly easy to get caught up playing Blueprint 3D. It's another one of those "Just one more..." games that's bound to please.

Zombie Catchers is tons of fun to play, though free-to-play timers put a bit of a damper on the game's pacing.

Briquid Mini is more Briquid, just smaller.

Puff. is a great little arcade game that hits all of the points it's aiming for. The jumping and shooting mechanics are original and feel great and it doesn't have any free-to-play shenanigans. It might not be the deepest experience to be had on mobile, but that's also not at all what Puff. is trying to be.

The concept of playing against real celebrities is actually quite entertaining. It's a little weird at first, but I enjoyed the game's style.

The only thing wrong with Ammo Pigs' fantastic retro action is that there isn't more of it.

d-capitatrix combines Portal gameplay with sexy headless robots to create a fun, attractive, and rather odd little puzzle game.

The graphical style is basic but cutesy and it's certainly very easy to just pick up and play. For those wanting a less than cerebral offering, Pocket RPG could be just what they want. RPG fans will need to look elsewhere for their next fix however.

It's an insane amount of fun from just about any angle.

Much like the games of old that inspired it, Gunslugs can be unforgiving yet so satisfied when it's conquered – and the procedurally-generated levels means that players don't always know what to expect. Fans of the run 'n gun genre need to check this out.

If anything, Corporate Fury is definitely one of the more well thought-out games in the App Store.

Be sure to watch their promo videos for the game if you are on the fence. If they don't get you to buy the game, nothing will.

It may not reinvent the wheel, but sometimes maintaining the status quo is all a polished game needs to succeed.

Gamebook Adventures 12: Asuria Awakens is a gripping tale from Tin Man Games.

It is rare to be pleasantly surprised in a game released on iOS. Draw and Roll has proven to be a rare exception to this rule.

I enjoy the moment-to-moment action of Turmoil quite a bit. The logistics that you need to figure out on the oil field to maximize profits are like a puzzle game that requires a bit of precise timing and luck. That said, the game's controls might keep you from being as precise as you might want to be, and–after drilling dozens and dozens of times–you might get a little burnt out on the game formula before you even reach the end of the campaign.

Jurassic World: The Game is a worthwhile follow-up to the popular Park Builder.

Afterplace isn’t the easiest game to make your way through, but a lot of its friction and weirdness is also what makes it a special experience.

Although the replay value may be concerning to some, Night Flight is still a hoot to play.

GridBlock is definitely worth the free taste for anyone who likes puzzle games to see if the concept and controls will stick. While the latter aspect is frustrating, GridBlock does a great job at executing its premise.

Collect cards and battle against other players in this platform-agnostic turn-based strategy game from the creators of the Great War Game series.

Exceptionally tough at times, Mr. Particle-Man is also very satisfying to play.

Bit-1 is a great game, and so much fun to play. It is challenging in the way a platformer should be, but not just because of lame controls. Players will enjoy making their way through the lush bit-filled environments, laying waste to tons of well designed enemies. This is simply one of the finest platformers to be found on the iPhone.

Combine Air Hockey sensibilities with a futuristic backdrop and there's an excitable and fast arcade sports game within.

Don't dismiss Evilot as a samey Lane Defense game, it's quite different from the rest and great fun for it.
