If you liked Riven the first time around, or loved Myst and never played Riven, you'll really enjoy this blast from the past.

At least Strange Cases: The Tarot Card Mystery lasts for a while and because of its low impact one can easily play it while doing various other things. However, as a game meant to hold one's attention by itself it comes up a little short. There is a reason why games like these are meant for magazines typically found in the dentist office.

Angry Birds is still a fun enough game that Snappy Dragons' blatant use of its concept, even down to the way certain menu buttons look, doesn't make it a bad game. It just makes it a redundant one. Most would agree, though, that dragons are at least cooler than birds.

Anyone who is a fan of running games will enjoy this game. It is similar to other games out there, but it has a few features and game mechanics that make it different. If other running games have become mundane and boring, then definitely consider purchasing Amazing Runner.

Grinsia is a decent RPG and will probably be fun for anyone who enjoyed Fantasy Chronicle and other games by this developer. But be wary of the lag problems.

A semi-addictive action RPG with super cute graphics and a pet raising system.

Quarantine London is an entertaining puzzle game, but there really isn't much to it.

Compared to previous installments in the series, Battle Bears Blast may be an ultimately simpler and lighter game. But it's still a silly and fun shooter. For gamers looking for something they can pick up and play on the bus ride or wherever they want to kill a little time, this is not a bad choice at all.

There is that "just one more go" addictiveness to the game, and being able to buy power ups and eventually unlock other characters to play adds to the long term appeal.

While Avenger is a rough game in virtually every sense of the word, it's also full of quirky personality and some very clever mechanics. As it is, it's a fairly competent action game but with a little more responsiveness in the controls it could be downright fantastic.

Power up and in-app purchases free, Nat Geo Wild QuizUp is all about pure knowledge. It's just a shame that there aren't more questions.

Wall Kickers is a great little package. It probably won’t be your next obsession, but it’s not a game that really feels like it’s shooting for that, either. This is just a good game to have on your phone when you want a minute or two of satisfying action, and it delivers on this front in spades.

While Dark Exile isn't by any means the most innovative tower defense game out there, it is a lot of fun. The visuals are well executed and they scale well whether zoomed in or out.

Crazy Taxi: City Rush is well-adapted for mobile, but the deluge of ads may make players feel like they're circling Times Square.

Red Johnson's Chronicles is an enjoyable, if campy, detective puzzler. With good visuals and engaging puzzles, its only real failing is its cheeseball dialogue.

Cloud Knights is fun and fluffy but also a big mess.

The Portal of Power is the best justification for this game. For those looking for a new reason to use their Skylanders figure collection, or wanting to get into it, then buy the Portal of Power and go crazy. Otherwise, stay away: as a purely-virtual experience, it's somewhat lacking.

Dungeon Crawlers delivers a solid dungeon crawling experience and its turn based combat works really well even if it's hard to control at times. The game looks great and the characters are humorous at times, but it is visually marred by its uninspired interface design. This game also delivers a good amount of original content for the price with more on the way.

There's not a whole lot about Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp that is surprising. It's a pretty run-of-the-mill, freemium crafting game, but it just so happens to be made by Nintendo, which means it has pretty amazing production values. You'd probably be pretty hard-pressed to find a more pleasant-looking game like this on the App Store, but it shouldn't be too hard to find something a bit more interesting.

When making a multiplayer game on mobile, it's extremely important to be mindful of players' time. If your game isn't super complicated, it should be a quick, satisfying experience. It shouldn't be bloated with long animations, and matches should be designed to end in a reasonable amount of time. Unfortunately for Stormbound, neither of these things are true. Although it has a lot of neat mechanics and potential, Stormbound is just a bit too slow for its own good.

It's got its problems, but I still had fun.

Chrono Space takes an interesting approach to the tower defense formula.

Scroodles is an appealing word battle game.

Dependable if not exceptional works well for Alien Robot Monsters.

Not the fastest of village builders by any means, Brave Tribe gets by on charm and basic storytelling.

Hire as many heroes as possible in this fun at first but grind-heavy freemium RPG.

The Great Jitters: Panic Ride doesn't quite have the 'just one more go' factor that other Endless Runners offer, but it is quite enjoyable. Unlike other titles in the genre, it gets right into the action so there's no slightly dull start to contend with, instead things speed up instantly.

Make poker cards and create words in this fun mix of two popular competitive genres.

A solid, casual title. Imperfect as it is, it's still a lot of fun.

Warhammer 40,000: Carnage is a very straightforward action game that knows it, and maximizes the strengths it has.

While it isn't perfect, Princess Fury is nevertheless a fun hack-and-slash with plenty of action and a slash-happy heroine to boot.

Overall, London 2012 – Official Mobile Game is just alright. I wasn't that impressed and I really expected a lot more out of it since it is the official mobile game. I'd definitely recommend downloading the free version over the premium, but don't expect to be blow away by the gameplay or the graphics.

Organize various answers into the correct order and beat players from around the world in this flawed yet entertaining trivia game.

A decent game but not a refined experience. R-Type on iOS looks and controls much better. However, gamers that want something that will test every fiber of their reaction and memorization skills will find a great challenge hidden in this game.

For a multiplayer goat combat game, GoatPunks is about as confounding as it sounds.

The gameplay in Curio is not very unique at all, in and of itself. However, Curio's haunting atmosphere and it's superb extras make it more of an experience than just a simple game. Ultimately, this is a title well worth considering.

Does pushing virtual (or literal) boxes around sound like a fun time? Not to us either.

Dragon Raiders is rough and scaly in some parts, but overall it's an enjoyable level-based running game.

Beetle Bounce's core gameplay is inoffensive enough to at least warrant checking out the 18 levels included with the free initial download. It's good but it's not a knockout.

Bridge Constructor: The Walking Dead breathes new life into a tired genre, but it doesn’t do enough to help you enjoy its creative challenges.

AGRAV: Inertial Orbit is a retro inspired game in which you must get your spaceship to safety.

There's a fun core game here, but remember: it's free to play, not necessarily free to progress and really enjoy the game. Caveat emptor.

With a wide array of puzzles available, some of which may leave players clueless, it won't be easy escaping Darkmoor Manor.

There's a lot of customization and party building fun to make this puzzler pretty engrossing, provided players can fight through the bugs.

I definitely appreciate Night Shift's style and effectiveness at being freaky, but it's still an awfully simple game. It might sound silly considering the platform but it's pretty simple even by iOS standards. That said, I think there's still entertainment to be had here. Especially from players who like their games scary, retro or both.

Be the King of your own castle with this tower building/RPG hybrid.

Pug Run is a casual and easy to play infinite runner with a great look.

Perfect Cell has some good ideas, but just suffers way too much from poor controls and some of the most cliched and repetitive level design I've ever set eyes on.

It is difficult to tell what each of the special blocks is designed to do just based on a quick glimpse of what each one is. Suddenly there's some block that's just advancing upward and I have no clue where it is or what it's doing. Some kind of better indicator besides what currently exists would be helpful.

Though it might be light on content, Epic Skater shows how an endless side-scrolling skating game should be done.

I still think My Singing Monsters is a great little curiosity for any musical enthusiast's iOS device but it will require some patience until the connection issues get ironed out. Still, it's pretty darned cool when it works.

Grindcore trades tiny wings for tiny skateboards.

Sure there are plenty of other titles in the genre out there, but how many of them involve re-killing zombies anime-style as a schoolgirl? Not many.

A little polishing here and there and this could have been a magical marble shooter. It's just that it needs some polishing.

UFHO2 is a turn-based strategy board game that's ruled by randomness, which makes it best suited for local multiplayer.

Orbital Jumper's yet another entry into a very crowded genre, and the things it does won't necessarily replace the Doodle Jump games of the world, but it brings a little freshness to a genre that can still be fun, but has been desperately in need of new ideas.

There’s little reason to pick this version over the PC or even the PSN versions, but if you like the idea of reliving the 80+ hour epic on the go it’s not a bad choice.

Looking for Laika is a tricky but compelling one-tap platformer.

Ice Age Adventures is a like a greatest hits collection of casual iOS games.

Puns aside, Mineshaft: Dynamite Blast could probably do with some more depth.

It's nothing extraordinarily new, and if you're sick to death of match-3's or already have one, this game isn't for you. If, however, you're a fan of the genre and need one for your iPhone or iPad, Babo Crash is a good choice.

FarmVille is bigger and brighter than ever before, but don't expect it to sway you if you're a non believer.

While it's neither the most realistic nor the most engaging title available, it's good enough to satisfy racing fans and those with an interest in this new racing venture.

If you're looking for a fun game to pick up every once in a while, Pigeon Squadron is a good buy, but if you're looking for a game with some meat, this is not the place to look.

I'll admit I'm not a big advocate of tilting to aim (or anything else for that matter), but even without the irritating aiming and frustrating combat Knights Arena isn't much fun.

Revitalizing a classic game, Qix Galaxy has a few too many freemium elements for true greatness, but it captures the feeling well enough.

Charming and fun to play. Trying to best your previous high score is fun and adds to the game's replay value, but not much.

Kill zombies. Find the dungeon exit. That's about it. This game is about the essentials: killing zombies and surviving.

The fun of The Company is in using your phone in weird and creative ways to solve puzzles. Even when you immediately figure out what you’re supposed to do on a given puzzle, actually using your device’s full feature set to to solve puzzles is incredibly satisfying. If the game was only these kinds of puzzles, it would be a must-buy, but—unfortunately—The Company also features some not-so-great puzzles that really drag down what is otherwise a stellar puzzler.

Although enjoyable, Orwell's Animal Farm feels like its missing the creative spark that made Nerial's initial releases exciting.

A great core simulation is held back by a less than stellar micro-transaction model.

Test your skills on the Eastern Front in this complicated, but fascinatingly deep strategy game.

Castaway life isn't so bad, assuming one enjoys fetch quests and talking to the natives.

The game doesn't offer any innovative gameplay mechanics, but delivers a worthwhile experience.

It's not an especially long game or a challenging game by any means, but it is a fun ride.

Empires & Allies is a familiar format, but a well made example of base building and conquering.

For a dollar, TreeConnect is a hard game to pass up. I definitely see myself whipping this one out next time I have a couple of minutes to kill. It's fun, addictive and anyone can enjoy it.

RYO's simple puzzles create a rainbow of complex colors.

Lacking a great story and logical pathfinding, Alchemy Mysteries: Prague Legends offers some fun puzzles and Hidden Object scenes, but lacks panache.

Offering more than just regular running, Max Steel is a quite fun if demanding take on a popular cartoon series.

iOOTP Baseball 2013 is still fun, but there's definite issues with the series that remain unaddressed in its third incarnation.

Crystal Soul offers some interesting Match Three mechanics alongside RPG elements but it's in need of a tutorial.

Pig&Chicks is still a fun, challenging iOS game. When you consider it's only one dollar, you can't help but feel you're getting a pretty good bang for your buck.

Ready Steady Play builds on the wild-western fun of its predecessor, but is the whole greater than the sum of its parts?

This stealth game mixes Crossy Road with a wintery prison escape.

This puzzle game has its fair share of issues, but it’s worth seeing through to the end.

Ocean Patrol's changes to the tower defense formula aren't always for the better.

Although Super Hangman! Mini Edition could use some minor improvements, the game is still enjoyable. With so many words to complete and three different modes, gamers are sure to brush up on their word solving skills. Whether players race against the clock or sit back and relax, it will challenge the mind and stretch the vocabulary.

Race against up to 8 friends while warping through time in this chaotic and fun kart-style racer.

Plants War's core experience is fun enough to warrant several play sessions. It takes a while for things to stop feeling quite so "samey" due to unlocks being so tough to acquire, but it's always satisfying to earn that new unit and take it out for a spin.

Bottom line, though, DancePad is definitely worth picking up. It's free, has plenty of free songs, and the extra songs available for download are on sale for $0.99.

Button Brigade is still a nifty game with some clever ideas and interesting puzzles, but the control issues become a bigger issue as the difficulty ramps up. They don't make it unplayable, but getting through this button pusher will require a fair amount of patience.

Help a group of vampires avoid death by sunlight in this imaginative, challenging, and beautiful adventure game.

Sticky Ball is a fine way for bored players to kill a day. Despite its issues, it has got enough worthwhile puzzles for a single play through. However, unless it has some downloadable content on the way, most probably won't be compelled to visit it again.

Tempo is essentially one cinematic action scene after another, but player interaction is too minimal to feel like an integral part of that action.

The visuals are passable and not by any means ugly. They are fairly standard with some nice flourishes here and there. The gameplay is spot on and the controls are simple enough that mastering the more complex nuances of the physics won't take long. While it might not be the most groundbreaking iOS title, its a fun one for sure.

Tango Chase is a solid reflex and dodging based game. The game play isn't innovative, but it's simple and fun.

Do you love Bioshock? Have you always wanted to be able to play it on the go? Well then your prayers have been answered. More or less.
