The sheer number of puzzles included in the game means that it will keep players busy for quite a long time, and that isn't even counting the 1000+ user generated levels that have been created with the game's included level editor. This game isn't just fluff, there is tons of cute woolly content to enjoy.

A fascinating exploration of just how desperate people can get, as well as a gripping thriller of a game. It's the kind of interactive fiction experience that many have been craving for years. For thoughtful gaming, this is the place to go, even if you will only play this once before waiting for the next installment.

Even without a multiplayer mode, Quarrel is a phenomenal game. Frustrations aside, it is so enjoyable and very hard to put down. Strategy and word game fans will both find things to love about this game and players that enjoy both genres will be in heaven.

Achtung should be an instant download for anyone who loves to share the iPad by playing multiplayer games.

The game is repetitive by its very nature, so young children may lose interest or be unable to understand Farm It! Seasons conceptually. For me, it provided mindless fun that only furthered my fantasies of buying a farm before I, um, buy the farm.

A beautifully-crafted multimedia experience set in the nightmare world of H.P. Lovecraft, iLovecraft is the perfect app for any horror fan.

Simple yet fun, Warheads Medieval Tales is well worth a look given its price tag of absolutely nothing. Don't be put off by in-app purchases, as they're really not essential for those willing to put the time in.

Dark Lands' stylish visuals and haunting music may just compel you to give yet another endless runner a go.

Delivers a fun, challenging experience for anyone with an iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad. While the game can be played for free online via a flash version, the added tilt controls and portability of the iOS version makes it worth the buck it costs to own.

As a game, Little Red Lie may not look or play like much, but as a piece of interactive fiction, it's intense, thought-provoking, and really well written. It's certainly worth seeing through to the end, even though that involves putting up with some sub-par gameplay.

Tilt-a-Bowl has excellently designed and satisfyingly gruelling bite-sized bowling puzzles, all with tilt controls that are so easy to pick up and use to full effect.

Once those initial "too easy" levels are cleared, however, Tapsteroids really hits its stride. It's by no means easy or even relaxing as the levels progress, but it's very, very fun. For a measly dollar, I can't think of a single reason not to buy it.

Word Ball is another word game which presents a fairly simple mechanic but executes it very well, in its case with medals to collect and OpenFeint for rankings.

It feels like what Flight Control Rocket adds takes away a lot of its core simplicity, though. Now it feels like I'm playing as much for collecting the game's new currency as I am for the pursuit of high scores.

I don't dislike FRAMED 2, but it is one of those sequels that seems just like “more” of a previous game rather than something that pushes the core ideas of a franchise forward. While there are a few moments where this sequel tries to do some new stuff, a lot of it feels like too little, too late. If you liked the first FRAMED and want more of it, FRAMED 2 is great, but if you were looking for something more than that, you might be a bit disappointed.

A successful, improved prequel to the original. Its game play, saturated with intense action, colorful graphics and humor, is fun and satisfying.

Soccer Superstars is well developed, fun and challenging. The amount of control the developers at Gamevil give players over pretty much every aspect of the game, combined with the fun, arcade-style game play give it great replay value.

If you like movies, this really is an unmissable purchase. I haven't had this much fun with a trivia game for a long time. The cutesy cats only help matters.

When it comes to being an appealing match-3 fighter, Ghostbusters Puzzle Fighter does the job well too, even if it does expect some repetition for you to get ahead.

An entertaining romp through the world of explosions and physics, even despite the lackluster control accuracy.

868-HACK is a very challenging yet thoughtfully-designed roguelike from Michael Brough.

WarCorps: Genesis shows how little differences can go a long way towards making a game stand out in a crowded genre. Military shooters aren't going anywhere soon so we might as well try the ones worth trying. At least it isn't in first person.

The movie may not have been a hit, but it did create a fantastic mobile game. Its follow up is a knockout as well.

Original, sensual, and beautiful, Luxuria Superbia is quite the experience for those willing to be open minded about it.

Pango Hide and Seek is a delightful hidden objects app that allows for more exploration than other apps like it.

The visuals are striking and the contrast of the shadowy silhouetted figures against the bright highlights gives the game a moody aura that deepens the feeling of fighting in a dark, dystopian future. The controls can be unresponsive from time to time, but not enough that it gets in the way of the gameplay.

Control issues aside, Z The Game is still a lot of strategic fun. The fast-paced nature of each level fits well with the on-the-go style most iOS users are used to and it practically feels like Z was originally designed with the platform in mind. Anyone who enjoys PC strategy games should find plenty to love here.

Even with its annoying ad model, The Quest Keeper is an awesome interpretation of the Crossy Road formula.

Virtual City is well worth a purchase. It's a much friendlier version of SimCity and one that feels more enjoyable and less spreadsheet management- ish than other behemoth city management games.

It's still entertaining despite the rough controls and cutscene glitches, plus it doesn't cost a thing. Not that being free is an excuse, but it certainly makes it easier to sate that curiosity.

A great new entry in the long history of bunny simulators.

Machinarium is a stunning game. Working just as naturally on the iPad as it did on the PC, it's the kind of flawless experience that all point and click fans should check out immediately. They won't be disappointed by any means.

Darthy is a fun platforming game that's surprisingly easy to control.

When there are thousands of far more visible and branded poker simulators out there, it is hard to recommend PlayScreen Poker 2. There are no fundamental flaws with the gameplay itself, it just doesn't bring anything else important to the table.

Despite the frustrating randomness of Ticket to Earth, I had a really great time with the game. Between the interesting characters and (eventually) satisfying combat, I can't wait to see what's in store in episode two.

The beautiful minimalism of this game makes it the perfect way to spend a few spare minutes, but don't be surprised if a few minutes turn into a few more, and a few more.

I can't stress enough just how intriguing the puzzles in Winter of the Melodias can be. It's a thoroughly enthralling and totally gorgeous adventure. It's not perfect, but it's absolutely worth it for fans of the original and the genre in general.

Fight for booty in this turn-based, multiplayer, and pirate-themed strategy game.
