Being an avid fan of geoDefense and Spirit's visual style resembling parts of that, the game just seemed to click with me. Controls were both fluid and responsive.

Yes, I'd like to see some more content, but it's a good game nonetheless. If you like castle-destruction at all, be sure to give it a try.

There's certainly enough to enjoy here and with the promise of a level editor in a future update, there's a very good reason to keep Woozzle on your iOS device for a while to come.

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.

With the controls improved and niggling issues cast aside, Joe Danger is back and better than ever.

So now I've finally seen what all the fuss is about.

One thing is for certain: you'll never get the feeling while playing Phoenix that the screen could use a few more bullets.

Amateur Surgeon 2 is one of the best experiences that you will have in the App Store. It's full of personality, has great graphics, and uses the touch screen to perfection.

The game is never-ending really. You just keep going, trying to last as long as possible while taking on new monsters.

There's a lot of replay value between the Phobic tokens, the keys, and the Plus+ leaderboards, and rolling through the levels is a lot of fun.

My only real complaint is that, well, I got tired of doing the same thing over and over again. It's an extremely repetitive game.

Rating a game like this is tough, because you will get a good deal of enjoyment out of it, but it doesn't really do anything that will remember the experience. At the end of the day, if you love RPG's, you'll like Illusia. Just don't expect greatness.

Its bright, pulsating immersive environments and game play will completely engage you audibly and visually (I was drinking punch and cooking a quiche, so all my senses were engaged), have your head and heart pumping and your thumbs wiggling throughout every level of play. I thoroughly enjoyed playing through its 33 levels over and again.

Auditorium is unusual, soothing, inventive, and extraordinarily pretty. If you're looking for a sleek puzzle game, put this one on your list for sure.

Despite my prejudices about a branded title, this one does pretty much all the right things.

Joining Hands is distinct in that is really is a pure logic game. It takes trial and error and patience too. But it's a challenge and with the App Store bursting at the seems with physics, matching and action puzzlers, this is a novel treat.

An entertaining and unique take on the traditional matching game. There's an organic feel to the game that keeps it fresh through multiple sessions. The fantastic music also adds to the atmosphere. Players won't regret giving this one a try.

For less than a dollar, there really aren't too many better experiences out there.

I've got a folder set aside for these kind of games, the 'just one more go' games that are inexpensive but compelling. Ninja Fishing will be happily residing there for a while to come.

4Towers Onslaught is certainly one of the more enjoyable tower defense titles out there and it merits a looks from players looking for a new game in the genre to enjoy.

Zombies as a cultural phenomenon may run the risk of being passe' and overdone very soon (My prediction? The zombie bubble collapses when a broadcast TV network decides to make their own ripoff of The Walking Dead), but thankfully Zombieville USA 2 does a great job at interpreting a classical genre in the modern era.

Since it doesn't actually cost anything, I'd say Shogun is certainly worth a download. Just don't be surprised when everything's been done in (probably) less than an hour or so. Whether or not the $1.99 for the remaining three levels is a justifiable expense will depend on the individual.

The awesome controls and the polished visuals round this game out very nicely and make it one that players who enjoy challenging action won't want to miss.

Light the Flower is an extremely likeable game. It has such a simple premise yet, like all good puzzle games, it's hard to master.

Packed with poisonous mushrooms and stinging bees, Diggin' Dogs is an intriguingly awesome puzzle that introduces three little unsuspecting heros as they search for the golden boot.

For a universal puzzle game with 100 levels at $0.99, there's no reason for any puzzle fan to pass this one over. Add Webbies to your "Puzzles" folder and call it a day.

Although the game suffers from loose controls, the actual gameplay is quite refreshing and fun. If the player can get passed the loose controls, there is a wonderful game with great fun to be had.

Granny Smith is a winner. From the characters to the zany gameplay, there's a whole lot to love in this $0.99, universal app and I can't wait for additional levels to be added on.

It's a solid Tower Defense game with a hook that just might be different enough to interest anyone burned out on the genre.

Fun, easy to play, good looking and plenty of challenge. Snail Bob seems like it would be great for kids, too. Definitely worth playing!

It's a neat idea but with clumsy controls, it takes some persistence to truly enjoy.

The graphics really pop, and the gameplay is quite addicting. Players will definitely get plenty of bang for their buck in this highly recommendable title.

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.

Overall, there is fun to be had here, however. Objectives exist in the capture of rockets, but most matches seem to exist merely to kill each other, whereby it offers many an option to the player.

1001 Attempts is a basic high-score game that succeeds by focusing just on the challenging essentials.

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

Tasty Tadpoles is casual game that is part puzzler and part arcade game.

Karateka Classic is a port of a classic fighting game that holds up rather well today.

If playing poker with Brock Samson sounds like fun, then, well, Poker Night 2 is well worth a download.

Bridgy Jones asks players to play civil engineer and train conductor at the same time in this physics-based puzzler.

Quadropus Rampage is a crazy Roguelike action RPG that absolutely should not be missed.

Lums is a physics puzzler that gives the player an astounding amount of agency, which makes it so much more fun than other, luck-based physics puzzlers.

As understated as just about every aspect of A Ride into the Mountains might be, everything comes together to craft a truly impressive experience.

Perhaps not the smartest of games, Infectonator: Hot Chase still manages to ensnare its players and refuses to let go.

Rule an empire for as long as possible in this rouge-like, deck-builder, 4X mash-up of a game.

Hop back on the board with one of the best skateboarding games around.

With an original story to tell, Gun Dogs will enthrall adventure gamebook fans.

Alluring and mesmerizing, The Rivers of Alice is the perfect game for adventure gamers.

War? What is it good for? Killing some time while driving a tank, I suppose.

Break lots of glass in this refreshing take on the classic endless-runner style game.

Distinctly wacky in nature, while loose controls might affect things Aliens Drive Me Crazy is still rather fun to dip into.

This puzzle/rpg demands that players choose their leaders and their turns carefully.

Simple yet surprisingly entertaining in short bursts, this is a Match-3 game worth looking at.

The Phantom PI is an exceedingly clever and well-crafted adventure game.

Deep Under Sky is beautiful in every way, but its gameplay is too restrictive and repetitive.

This match-three game has collectible and role-playing elements that make it continually satisfying to play.

Fun visuals, good music, engaging level design, and lots of content make Goblin Sword an excellent little game.

Psych-out friends and random players in this simple but psychologically complex game from the makers of 10000000.

Pixel Boat Rush's unique blend of mechanics make it an excitingly original racing game.

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

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

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

This mini-roguelike shows that great things can come in small packages.

Brickies offers some fresh twists on a potentially tired formula.

It sounds silly, but Blades of Brim really does feel like the next step for third-person endless runners.

This score attack game is a bit tricky to learn at first, but it's a blaze of fun.

This speedy racing game looks and feels great, but it's a little limited with no multiplayer and dopey AI.

Power Ping Pong is a vibrant take on table tennis.

Despite a few technical issues, this game about an octopus disguised as a human father is completely charming and adorable.

Gear.Club is a cool racing game that takes what's great about Forza and places it into a serviceable, mobile form. If some of its menus and mechanics were streamlined a little better, it could be truly great. Until then, Gear.Club is a pretty great racing game that's a little to cumbersome to bother with.

Mushroom 11 is a creative puzzle game that challenges you to repeatedly experiment with its physics to succeed. Although there may be some instances where things behave the way you don't expect, the penalties for failure are minimal. That doesn't mean Mushroom 11 won't test your patience (it will), but the game's clever puzzle design makes the whole experience worth it.

Beholder is a fascinating game that gives you a cool, clockwork world to play around in. It also tells a story about the difficulties of living in a totalitarian state, but some of that can be overshadowed by the depth of the game's mechanics and the ease with which you can undo decisions you've made. It's still a game worth playing and experiencing, but perhaps one that won't stick with you after you've played through it.

If you played and liked Darkest Dungeon on PC, picking up the tablet edition is a no-brainer. For five bucks, you can take your dungeon-crawling on-the-go, and even continue adventures you've started on the PC by exporting your save file via Dropbox. That said, Darkest Dungeon certainly isn't for everyone. It feels like a game that wants to beat you down by throwing its systems at you. This can be fun to a point, but it also makes the game feel pretty oppressive and downright random. Considering the game is about fighting off eldritch horrors, this makes a certain amount of sense, but it also makes for a less fun game experience.

PAKO 2's style carries it a long way, particularly when you first start playing it. As you get further into the experience though, the more you feel like there should be some amount of additional depth. The stuff that is in PAKO 2 currently is good and–more importantly–very cool. It would just be a more satisfying game if there were more to it.

This multi-layered puzzle game can be extremely rewarding, provided you have the patience for it.

Wish there was a more Halloween-y version of Downwell? Candies n' Curses might just be your best bet.

Rolando: Royal Edition is a faithful and loving remaster of a dearly beloved ten-year-old game, for better or for worse.

Even if you think Gwent is more than an over-engineered mini-game, the mobile version of Thronebreaker leaves some things to be desired.

This game wedges compelling roguelike and deck-building systems into a slot machine to create a surprisingly strategic experience that feels perfect for mobile play.

This puzzle game mixes pool, mini-golf, and a bunch of video game nonsense and produces mostly good (and occasionally confusing) results.

Chu Chu Rocket is a faithful port of the 2000 Dreamcast puzzle game to iOS, where players lay down arrows to guide mice into their rocket, and cats away from that same rocket.

Ragdoll Blaster 3 is a great return to a franchise that laid relatively dormant over the past couple of years. The heart of the game is as addictive as ever, and the new envrionmental aspects are great additions. Physics puzzlers fans need to check this out.

Neon Shadow hits the mark at almost every turn, providing players with the authentic space-themed FPS experience they have probably been waiting for.

An inspiring title that through artistic flair, innovative wind physics and particle effects creates an intricate world that is a pleasure to visit every time.

BlastPoints is well worth checking out for fans of space shooters. It looks great, can be played quickly, and has plenty of barrel rolls to boot.

A peaceful, zen-like calm often overtook me as I weaved in and out of the curtains of flaming death that the level-ending bosses would send my way. CAVE has put together one hell of a gateway drug here.

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.

For fighting game fans who haven't played the original Street Fighter IV on iOS, this is the version to get.

Its not just a clever idea, it's a clever idea wrapped in an extremely alluring (and well put-together) package. One that's totally worth playing.

Win or lose, Respawnables is still an incredibly fun and addicting shooter. It's a bit unbalanced no matter which mode players decide to mess around with but none of that hampers that all-important character progression.

Blade Lords does get points for really trying to do something different with the one-on-one combat experience by going down a familiar route. While I'd like to see less monetization influence and more pure fighting game influence added, this is still interesting enough to check out for fighting fans.

Papa Sangre really is one of the most unique games out there on the App Store. It's clever use of binaural audio and Hollywood quality voice acting and sound makes it a game that I will show off again and again to my friends.

It has an overall polish that you can't find in many games on the App Store, especially in the monster truck racing department. Unfortunately, with the lack of any kind of upgrade element, the game won't hold the interest of many hard core racing fans, but with an abundance of casual gamers out there, this one may be a winner anyway.

Crank up the creativity by building the ultimate ride in the inventive Loco Motors.

If you're a Monopoly fan, but just want the classic experience instead of the Here & Now edition, you should find little at fault with EA's latest port. Personally, I like it a lot better than the board game because it's so much faster: no fumbling for dice, no calculations to do.

Very little skill is required to get through Castlevania Puzzle, just a burning desire to level your character up and get more weapons. Honestly, if you took the Match 3 aspect out of the game and just turned the battles into a standard turn based RPG affair, or even just simulated it all with no graphics, I would be much happier.

David is a minimalistic game wrapped inside of a soothing atmosphere in which the hero must defeat a number of evil creatures representing different struggles and aspects of life.

Aside from my micromanagement woes, I like the path that Legendary War takes with the graphics and the story. Both are rich with detail, but not so crazy that you don't know what's going on. In other words, it's pretty and in-depth, but never confusing or hopeless.
