Galaxy Run will likely please casual gamers looking for an addictive and challenging space runner. Sadly though, they may feel like they have to pay-to-play.

Wildagotchi does a good job emulating the virtual pets of the 90s, but it's primarily for nostalgia nuts.

So feel free to yell out, "I sank your battleship!" to your iPhone whenever you like, but be prepared for some pretty odd looks.

If you're looking for a good time killer with great game play but aren't really interested in story, I would say that Avatar is worth a look. You can check it out for $6.99.

As a free to play game, the lack of structure isn't such a big problem, fortunately, but it does make the urge to buy extra nets with real money less so. Circus Atari is a game that players may find themselves enjoying for a brief while but it's doubtful that Doodle Jump and Tiny Wings will lose their position as the most enjoyable endless runners of this sort.

Is 8-Bit Jump an original title? Not even a little bit. But it's fun and challenging.

In space, no one can hear you... spell? Hexiled is a neat concept for a word scramble puzzle, but it doesn't go too far beyond the basic premise.

Moving the Match-3 genre to a 3D perspective, Stack Rabbit is fun but surprisingly tricky after a time.

From the makers of Papa Sangre comes a defense game that forces players to listen carefully; unless they want to hear the sound of zombies feasting on their flesh, that is.

Gameloft certainly deserves credit for trying to bring a free-to-play game of pro football to iOS, but it misses the mark in more than a few areas.

While it doesn't quite feel like a party, this is a snowboarding sim with quality controls and plenty of style.

While the game's structure and stance system make Kids vs. Goblins somewhat interesting, the overall lack of control is frustrating. Too much, it gives the sensation that I'm just here to watch the proceedings, not to actually interact, and in a strategy game, that lack of command makes this hard to recommend.

Even with all the content, for the current asking price it's difficult to recommend Gene Effect as something that will definitely be enjoyed. But as something peacefully simple but exceptionally pretty, Gene Effect will be right up the alley of many an iOS gamer.

Planet Work is a basic game but it's oddly compelling, probably because it's that simple.

FNAF 4 is atmospheric and terrifying, but it’s a little lacking.

A different take on the usual block dropping puzzle game, Puzzle Roo is quite pleasant.

Pocket Land takes a familiar idea and starts to turn it into something special, but it doesn't take things far enough.

This stylish runner has some great ideas, but they don’t quite come together as seamlessly as they should.

Whether gamers are big fans of the series or trivia buffs, it's a hilarious freemium game packed with enough content to satisfy most players, just don't expect it to be as great or as long as previous versions.

Despite a few areas of improvement, Bacteria Arcade Edition is still a fun and addictive arcade game.

A minor problem that I noticed was that it's too easy to accidentally hit the "Talk to us!"/"News" button when trying to tap "Remove Adverts." Those three buttons are just too close to each other.

A very simple concept but it does so well. It might not strictly stand out from the pack, lacking GameCenter support and any way of comparing progress with friends, but it is enjoyable.

Dawn of the Immortals might not re-invent the wheel, but it does tweak it a little bit when it comes to MMO gaming.

I had reasonably high hopes for Area 51 Defense, due in mo small part to the drool-inducing visuals, but the experience has dashed them to pieces. It's not a terrible tower defense game, but it's hard to recommend over the glut of other more user-friendly and downright enjoyable titles out there. Plus it kind of falters right out of the gate since it's so ridiculously similar to Epic War TD, which is free right now.

Sure, a game about ninja rabbits sounds awesome, but to make it great, that is a challenge.

Powder Monkey is a well polished RPG that is fun to play, looks great, and doesn't get bogged down with complex battle systems or an incomprehensible plot. The gameplay is simple and the game looks great.

Alien: Blackout looks great, but doesn’t quite capture the feeling of being stalked by a Xenomorph.

Setting aside the spotty voice work and choppy animations, The Journey Down: Chapter One is still an adventure worth taking. It doesn't trump work from Telltale or Lucasarts, but with a little more refinement it could sit comfortably at the table with them.

The music and ocean sounds also give the game a great nautical atmosphere.

If you are looking for a way to revisit the game or are charmed by the game's aesthetic, Neo Turf Masters is definitely worth picking up. If you're in some other camp, you probably won't be disappointed playing it, though it does have some issues that might hamper your enjoyment.

Robbery Bob's learning curve is gradual, and while the level designs are not the most innovative, there are enough incentives to keep fans replaying, with lots of checkpoints and frequent instructions to make moving forward easy for the less committed. Robbery Bob is not the deepest stealth game on the App Store, but for the price it's definitely worth checking out for short burst of shifty fun.

It might not be the best arcade racer from a technical standpoint, but Split/Second offers plenty of incentive to warrant a purchase.

Top Speed is a somewhat enjoyable drag racer. That’s pretty much it.

Reiner Knizia's Modern Art: The Card Game is a good, but not great, adaptation of the real thing. Eurogamers will enjoy it for what it is, but others may long for more.

Draw a Stickman: Epic is a little rough around the edges, but there's this constant sense of whimsy that acts as a constant (pardon the pun) draw. That and it's just silly fun to draw flames on various objects and then watch them burn.

It's not often that there's a story within a ball rolling game but the unique Ball of Woe manages it with aplomb.

Vibrant visuals and simple controls but underneath the surface, a pretty smart arcade puzzle game.

Maze meets Rubik's Cube in this 3D puzzler where the objective is to climb through 10 challenging levels to get the highest score.

While the intangibles are all there, Deep Deep Dungeon lacks the depth of play that separates a good games from a mediocre one.

Dexter: Hidden Darkness is a familiar Hidden Object gaming concept, but it'll entice fans.

It's just unfortunate that the storyline doesn't push the boundaries more.

For the amount of gameplay, assortment of tracks, player modes and use of the Caterham cars, SlotZ Racer Caterham Special is more than a stepping stone, it's legit entertainment worth the download.

I can’t honestly call RPG Aeon Avenger the next big iOS RPG, but it’s certainly not a bad entry into the genre. The story isn’t exactly captivating and the combat is fairly standard, but it does make use of an interesting equipment system that’s worth experimenting with.

Trick Shot 2 is an easy-to-play and simple puzzler which sticks to what it knows. It may not be particularly advanced, but it's still good fun for what it is.

Gluonia is worth a look if you're desperate for a new physics based puzzler but currently it just doesn't stand out from the crowd sufficiently enough to be worth recommending above all others.

The latest installment of Mental Hospital delivers a haunting atmosphere and chilling visuals, but it could stand to benefit from a better control system.

Burly Men at Sea is a totally beautiful but flawed game. Although it starts with a bang and has a beautiful moment of discovery in it, you'll find that there's little to look forward to soon after you've started it.

Black Paradox is essentially a retrowave version of Steredenn. It's fine, but definitely familiar.

It's caterpillars with an arsenal of weaponry! Pull out the guns, rockets, and grenades and attack the enemy head-on throughout a single player campaign.

The developers have done a good job at keeping this game free yet worthwhile at the same time.

VoidScapes is worth playing if only to see how one would go about updating something as ancient as rock, paper, scissors. It's held back but the inherent simplicity of the concept but it's a valiant effort all the same. Here's hoping for an update that adds that schoolyard favorite: an unbeatable nuclear bomb option.

One of the only problems that I experienced when playing Wild Defense HD was that I didn't realize I'd unlocked the ability to upgrade my units (for more damage and other stats) until a few levels after I had done so.

While it's nothing too special, Rise of the Guardians at least tries to do something to interest potential fans.

Aside from the lack of initial content, The Dragons HD is still fun to play. The graphics and animations are well-designed and look great on retina displays, and the available mini games are addicting and challenging.

Hidden Object and casual gaming fans will like what Castle - Never Judge a Book By Its Cover has to offer.

Cockatilt is a fluffy-fun game at its core, though some design issues pluck the experience bald in places.

Though the ad implementation is problematic, these orcs are fun to pal around with for a time.

Pursue plenty of randomly created dungeons in this streamlined and simple rogue-like.

Combine one popular rock band with a Diablo-style shooter, and what do you get? Well, this.

Frustrating at times, Tilt To Live: Gauntlet's Revenge is sure to hook masochists in.

Train Titans is a fun idea for a game and quite well implemented, excluding the minor controls niggle. The only real flaw is the length of the game. The puzzle expert is going to feel in need of new puzzles at a later date so hopefully this will be a title with steady updates and support.

Lie Swatter is a fun trivia game all about picking out the lies from the truths. It's a little simple in its layout but there's plenty of laughs to be had.

This abstract puzzle game is at its best when it's introducing crazy ideas and when it's not frustratingly repetitive.

While, as a shower-crooner, I find it fun, replay is hard to incentivize without purchaseables. The social element is there, but it's not promoted, the unwanted game requests are annoying, and the interface is bland. Also, the ad-free version is overpriced at $4.99.

FitFlap Motion has you flapping your arms around instead of tapping frantically.

It's this rough and ready approach that stops BoxPlots from truly standing out. There's a fun game mechanic in there but it doesn't quite click as well as it could.

Providing more storyline and more intrigue, Republique: Episode 3 is a fun journey if a little repetitive in places.

Tacticool has a pretty lame tone to it, and its free-to-play design is kind of messed up, but the game itself still manages to be surprisingly fun. Without paying, you can have a good amount of fun here with the game’s tactical gameplay. That said, if you plan to put any serious amount of time into Tacticool at all, be prepared to spend money if you want to stay competitive.

Slender Man Origins 3 has a few hiccups, but it’s an enjoyable bite-sized horror game.

If you've played Guerilla Bob and Minigore and are desperate for another dual stick shooter to sooth your nervous twitch, go ahead and pick this one up. It certainly won't disappoint, but it also won't wow you.

The addictive new puzzle game from the creator of Tetris will keep people playing, thinking and unfortunately, spending.

Score goals by answering trivia questions correctly in this soccer-themed title.

Is there room for one more Flappy Bird clone?

As a real time strategy game, Pyramus has a lot going for it. Except a few key fundamentals.

Line up gents (and ladies), and get ready for a game of Ricochet - the classiest game around.

Jelly All Stars doesn't do a single thing new for the kind of puzzle game it's representing, but that's not always important. Aside from a slow burn it's a respectably entertaining title that great for some light "snacking."

Shoggoth Rising has an impressive visual pedigree and some decent gameplay ideas, it's just green - in every sense of the word.

At a comparatively low price of $2.99, Dream Inn: Driftwood is pleasant and innocous enough for fans of the genre to benefit from but it is a little too unimaginative to outright recommend.

Ultimately, Puzzle Grid is just about simple, good old-fashioned fun. It won't win prizes for its looks or innovation but it will certainly while away the hours nicely.

Stickman Soccer 2014 is a good but plain take on the beautiful game.

Simple and kind of shallow, that doesn't stop Airheads Jump from being a quite fun jumping game.

Pinball can be a really neat thing, especially when it looks and feels great. Unfortunately, this game only nails its look.

A little awkward at times, Animal Upon Animal is still an enjoyable physics puzzler for all the family.

Assault Commando is an alright shooter, just know that there are better (and cheaper) titles in the App Store.

For those with fond memories of the time, they'll love this walk down memory lane without the need to dig out their old systems or mess around with emulators. For those who didn't experience it the first time round however, it's a tougher choice. Nostalgia goes a long way to making these games great fun once more.

Trying to do something a little bit different from the other endless runners that have overrun the App Store, Sidewalker is a game that you could play again and again, if it wasn't for the pointless energy system.

It's more awkward than it needs to be, and is enough on its own to prevent me from hooking in to Let's Eat Sweets for the long run.

Some rules in Pocket City are frustratingly rigid, while others are so easy to work around that they feel game-breaking. These inconsistencies ultimately make for a game that only stays enjoyable up to a limit. Although there is a pretty fun progression to the game, you never feel like you have the full freedom to make the city you want. Instead, you always feel like you have the freedom to make the kind of city that nobody wants, which is not particularly satisfying.

Anyone new to strategy card games and looking for a simple place to start should check out Shadow Spires. However, it won't be long before they start craving some slightly more complicated fare.

Crash Club offers some light multiplayer action that is reminiscent of Twisted Metal, albeit in a much more colorful way. It's a game formula that works, but only when it's firing on all cylinders. When the game's randomness isn't working in your favor though, there long stretches of playing that aren't fun. This isn't enough to make Crash Club a bad game, but it is enough to keep me from playing much more of it moving forward.

This game's existence is reason enough to coin a new term for what it is: a microroguelike.

Skip the bumps and bruises and go straight to the adrenaline kick with INFOCUS Extreme Bike.

Speedway fans should enjoy this release, but not so much if they've already played Speedway GP 2012.

It's good that the core mechanic works as well as it does because it really is the only thing the game has going for it.

East Legend is a familiar free-to-play action RPG, but it's fun.

The gameplay is varied, thanks to the many different types of items to bag and players will have a challenging time completing all the game's levels. Bag It! HD is a nice, quirky little departure form the stacking puzzle norm.

Match up corresponding numbered tiles and quickly in this fun, if sometimes too simple, score chaser.

Playing a solidly competent game of brick busting, Monsta Brick Breaker is a fun if unexceptional title.
