Unlike its big brother Puerto Rico, it's universal, so it can be played on both the iPhone and iPad, plus it's more immediately understandable and playable. Anyway, once you visit San Juan, you might just want to see what the rest of Puerto Rico has to offer.

While the game is relaxing, it isn't something I'm likely to play again. There's no obvious flaw with Zen Bound 2, but there's something that turns me off from a game that's in between something passive (like Crosswords or Scrabble) and something active (like Angry Birds or Fruit Ninja).

Jet Car Stunts 2 doesn't screw up what made the original game great, while adding in some variety, including a clever level editor.

I'm absolutely hooked to Knights of the Round Cable. It's a cheap pun, and I'm going to use it! Few games pull me in like this, and find me so engrossed that I lose track of time. I absolutely love this game.

Players should be able to progress in the game well enough without needing extra items. I was very impressed with the game, and given that it's free and a universal app, I would definitely recommend it.

The Sims Freeplay offers plenty of hours of fun. Some in one big dose, while other sessions are in shorter drop in sessions as is common with the freemium model. In each case, it makes The Sims Freeplay a worthwhile download at an excellent, non-existent, price.

Wrapping up the successful Tower Defense series, Anomaly Defenders is a blast.

Autumn Dynasty Warlords is an innovative strategy game that combines both RTS and turn-based elements as it sets players on an epic quest for the ultimate domination of China.

My big qualm with Temple Runner lies in the fact that the majority of the game's scenery looks the same. Yeah, the scenery does change here and there, but most of the time, gamers are running through ruined, temple pathways that look consistently the same. It all starts to blur together after a while.

Personally, I think it's worth the price for anyone looking for a good RPG to have on-the-go – assuming they aren't already loaded down with iOS role-playing games, that is.

A great racing game, damaged by a business model more fitting of a free-to-play game than a $4.99 one.

While Plague Inc. isn't ground-breaking iOS game, it's definitely one of the most refined. With features like self-mutating viruses, government collapses that actually effect the spread through a given country, unlockable virus classes, and an honest to goodness save feature (yay!), this is the apocalypse plague game to get.

Spin around planets collecting up gems, all in the name of getting back to one's home planet, in this cute platformer.

Aside from the Old School implementation of game saves, The Bard's Tale is a great trip down memory lane that actually feels more suited to iOS.

It's a very good game that's a lot of fun. It's just that the original offers pretty much the exact same experience with a lot more content and modes. If someone already owns Fruit Ninja, I can't really think of a reason why they'd also want this version. Unless they're a huge fan of the movie or the actor, anyway.

Over the top in all the right ways, and it's fantastic because of it. The animation and great controls make this a fun use of $0.99.

About Love, Hate and the Other Ones is a classic puzzle game done differently and done well. Even without the charming presentation it provides a clever and fairly unique series of special-relation riddles that make time melt away.

It's not perfect, but Spider-Man Unlimited is a pleasantly enjoyable narrative-based auto-runner.

It is very old school in its approach and doesn't ease you in gently. With 30 hours of gameplay on offer though, RPG fans would be mad to overlook it however. It's a tremendous piece of gaming history and still holds up well to this day.

It's particularly refreshing that in-app purchases are far from vital to progress. A rarity in such a money focused genre.

The fifth entry into the blockbuster Modern Combat series is what mobile shooters should aspire to.

It's a huge amount of fun for the price and you'll find yourself easily spending hours trying to shave off a few precious milliseconds from your previous best time.

Mini Motor Racing takes a proven genre and improves upon it by providing its own additional artistic touch. The result is a very gratifying racing experience that will keep players coming back for lap after lap. Everyone start your engines!

It's a very simple idea, but a good one. QatQi offers a different type of word game challenge, and flourishes for it. All the better for being free to download, and exceptionally easy to dive into for short or long sessions.

Wind-Up Knight 2 is an auto-running platformer with immaculate game design.

Its mechanics are still pristine. Its controls are still pretty much immaculate. The formula has been tweaked, and I think it has come out for the better. It's evolution, not revolution, but it's still Temple Run and it's sitll a lot of fun.

There is no question that racing fans will get a kick out of Asphalt 6, but fans of arcade racers will love it just a bit more. The graphics are solid, the sound is good, the driving mechanics are exciting (maybe a bit too forgiving for racing sim fans), and the game is just plain fun.

Kid Tripp is challenging, but far too often slips into frustration.

Make no qualms about it, this is a great puzzle game for iOS. The world is gorgeous, the puzzles difficult, and the story interesting. Gamers looking for a puzzle game that finally breaks the mold, has quite a bit of character, and can adjust to the controls will find a great value in this title.

iBomber Attack lives up to the quality of the rest of the iBomber family. The graphics are sharp and clean and the gameplay will keep players on their toes. Although the game is relatively short with only 24 missions, each mission can be played multiple times to be able to collect all items and complete all the objectives.

There might be a subtle name change but R.Type is still as fiendishly difficult as it ever was.

This season, EA Sports has decided to offer up a more bite-sized portion of the FIFA experience. Unfortunately it still feels like something is missing.

Sometimes you don't have to reinvent the wheel (or ski, rather) to make a satisfying sequel. What Grand Mountain Adventure 2 lacks in innovation is compensates by just sticking to its strengths.

If physics puzzles are your thing, don't hesitate to pick the game up, just be sure to send the guys over at vol-2 an email explaining your need for more levels.

Rail Rush is a very good game and a bargain for only $0.99. There is a ton of depth will all the levels, missions, and upgrades. The gameplay, graphics, and sounds all work together to create a really enjoyable atmosphere.

Adding further variation to already successful gameplay is TwoDots' recipe for success.

This game is a million digitized fist bumps.

Momonga Pinball Adventures is a sugary sweet pinball title that has plenty to offer for every audience. What it lacks in photo-realistic physics and ridiculous bonus multipliers, it more than makes up for in charm and replayability.

In summary, PlicPlic is a really good game. The gameplay is simple and easy to learn due to very straightforward controls. The graphics create an fun atmosphere and the app is an overall great value.

Chaos Rings III is an odd hybrid of mobile game mechanics that gets in its own way.

Blast endless waves of zombies in this addictive casual shooter with tons of style.

While I certainly enjoyed playing all 15 levels of The Hero, I didn't finish the game with the excitement that I wanted to. Unfortunately, this was a case there the trailer was so good that it actually took away from the overall experience.

Magnetic Baby is a fun, cute platformer. Admittedly, it lacks originality – borrowing heavily from Super Mario Galaxy, primarily. But despite this truth, it's still an entertaining and challenging platformer. And for 99 cents, it's definitely worth a go.

Saving Yello is a solid entry in yes, quite the crowded genre, and while it's not essential, it does things differently enough to be worth a pickup for fans of the genre.

Devious Dungeon 2 is an ideal 'just one more go' kind of action RPG.

Tough yet satisfying is about right for Pixel Heroes: Byte & Magic.

When Foursaken Media decides to create a combination of RPG, Roguelike, action-adventure, and monster-collection, everybody wins.

In its current form, Band Together is really good, great even. It definitely deserves a look. There is still this nagging feeling though that with a few more levels, which are coming, or tighter controls it could be something fantastic.

The one thing I want to see more of from Kid Vector? More levels. Having more content would definitely be welcome. For fans of trial platformers and/or the vector style, this is worth checking out.

Dudeski takes a surprising amount of inspiration from that hit roguelike platformer, Spelunky.

Regardless of control niggles, NyxQuest is still a must buy, even more so at its introductory price, but it'd be nice to see a future update correct the control based inaccuracies.

While Pac'n-Jump is hardly the most original game on the App Store, it certainly adapts from its inspirations well and offers plenty of fan service along the way. Fans of the endless ascension platformer genre could do far worse.

The physics are a bit unpredictable at first, but this is mostly because each track is so different from the last that is seems a whole new set of physics must be at play. jAggy Race is fun but it's certainly not for precision drivers.

The Lost City doesn't overstay its welcome, doesn't bore with any complicated story, and doesn't cost too much coin to acquire. It may not be the best game to hit iOS this year but it will easily be one of the most recommendable. Let's hope Fire Maple endeavors further into this genre, they have a knack for it.

There is nothing not to like about Little Acorns. Even the soundtrack has a funky groove. For newcomers to platforming this is a great entry point, and veterans of the genre will find the challenge, precision and gameplay on par with the best.

If you're looking for a unique way to get to know someone, Fingle might be right up your alley. Kudos for a developer trying something new and different, even if only the most dexterous can successfully play it.

One of the best games I've had the privilege to review. With numerous guns, great graphics, and over 200 levels spread over multiple level packs, the app is a great deal for the $0.99 price tag.

Plasma-Sky is another one of those addictive arcade shooters that is available in the App Store and has the appeal to attract almost anyone to its vibrant and enjoyable gameplay.

Aside from a rather major setback, Knight Storm is all kinds of alright.

Satellina requires quick thinking and twitchy fingers, and it's pretty fun.

Lost Within isn't as spooky as it'd like to be, but it is an interesting horror story.

Pivvot is a game of strategic avoidance that takes the frantic challenge of Super Hexagon and makes it just a bit more cerebral.

For fans of fighting games that want some new portable pugilism with projectiles, Street Fighter X Tekken is a great choice, if only because it's the best looking entry yet, and it supports the iPad! Hallelujah!

Go Home Dinosaurs brings an unexpected mixture of gameplay elements to tower defense, but they all work together beautifully.

If you can get past the warm-and-fuzzies, I think you'll find Floe to be a pretty solid puzzle game. The accelerometer based control system makes it a no-go on most morning commutes, but Floe would work fairly well in the comfy confines of your favorite couch.

Match Panic is simple yet addictive fun that the kids can easily pick up and enjoy, but is challenging and addictive enough that adults shouldn't pass up on the game, even if the icon for the game is a panda with a frog on its head.

My only complaint would be that load times can seem a little long for when I'm trying to get a quick game in during a commercial break on television or something, but it's certainly worth waiting for - it's also totally understandable when considering the detail in the levels that's been squeezed onto our little devices.

Don't expect to make any masterpieces in Sketch Nation Studio, but the value here is in enabling the creativity of users. It's about taking a silly idea to fruition easily, and reveling in the creation of others along with it. Who knows, maybe the creator of the next great game will find their way into making the next great game thanks to Sketch Nation Studio, thanks to its accessible creation tools.

With all of the mini-games, items, equipment and storyline, Juggernaut: Revenge of Sovering is one of the better and most complex RPGs I've seen on the App Store in a while.

An enjoyable game that is sure to occupy players for hours on end. The cute graphics, fun gameplay, and the allure of collecting coins will make it irresistible to many players.

Those willing to dive in to a tower defense game that's ready and willing to be deep should check it out as well. This is one of the best $2.99 (plus in-app purchases for currency) values on the App Store.

War, what is good for? Well, it makes for an entertaining real-time strategy game at least.

Wars and Battles puts up a good, but predictable fight.

Even with the knowledge that Pixel People has no real meat to it and is about as "fun" as browsing someone's Facebook page I still have a hard time putting it down. Heck, the whole time I've been typing this I've been itching to get back to discovering new jobs. I can't quite explain why but this is definitely one time-waster worth checking out.

Even with the relatively short gameplay, WackyLands Boss is well worth the $0.99 asking price. The level of polish alone is worth the price of admission, and getting to pound the heads of hundreds upon hundreds of little human soldiers just puts the game over the top.

There's promise for a better game here, one that can provide that balance between fun and challenge that seems so hard to attain.

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

Though a little rough around the edges in parts, Radiation Island is an impressively huge survival/crafting game that offers tons to do.

Hip and happy? What more could you want?

Cuboid Free might be in need of more discernable camera options, but other than that it's a great little puzzle game. One that even manages to avoid the pitfalls of gated freemium for the most part.

This mobilized version of Respawn Entertainment's hit battle royale game feels manageable and easy to jump into without losing virtually any depth.

The sheer fact that spending money is at all tempting is a testament to Candy Crush Saga, however. It's a fun Match Three puzzler and refreshingly taxing at times.

Whether it's the controls, the visuals, or the perfectly fitting ambient soundscape, Glowfish is filled with enjoyment.

Joe Dever's Lone Wolf is a beautiful gamebook experience, but is let down by repetitive combat and a spiritless story.

A great way for people that may have missed the original game to check it out now, but veterans may be disappointed at how easy it has become.

If you're looking for a deep, intelligent hunting sim, Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter is ideal. The added bonus of hunting dinosaurs rather than conventional animals just makes it all the more intriguing a proposition.

The resulting game is a smart, well thought out platformer that will challenge even the most experienced gamers.

TipTop's plot is linear…a bunch of stupid, well-meaning heroes are on a quest to save the world. But the game itself is incredibly fun to play. The controls are good, the tempo is quick, the artwork is fantastic, and the sense of humor present in the plot just makes it even more fun.

Having a game that I can't play for X number of hours just drives me nuts, and if I'm going to spend money, I'd rather get a game that brings me constant enjoyment.

Even though it is far from the game-changer that its exemplary predecessor was, the core mechanics are as entertaining as they have ever been, cementing it as a solid successor to the Puzzle Quest throne.

Surprisingly, in the simplest of simple games, Berzerk Ball really does have a lot going for it. Its idea really isn't new or original, but the implementation of the simplistic game type is fantastic. This one deserves a thumbs up for sure.

There is certainly enough gameplay variety, as well as sheer amounts of levels, to keep you entertained for quite a long time.

I cannot stress just how impressed I am with this game. It seems to have come out of nowhere, but I personally feel it's destined to share a spot with the rest of the App Store's top platformers.

Cado is certainly one fun and hard to put down game. The 40 levels (soon to be 60, total) are somewhat of a mixed-bag as far as challenge goes, but that shouldn't stop anyone from enjoying this addicting casual physics puzzle-platformer.

Plenty of games have clever designs and plenty more have clever writing. Car Toons! is fortunate enough to have both.

Red's Kingdom's individual components are all very familiar, but they're constructed in a way that I haven't really seen before. This makes playing it feel both fresh and comfortingly familiar. As a puzzle game, it's top-notch, and it just so happens to be a pretty great adventure game too. There's very little out there quite like Red's Kingdom, so you should go pick it up and try it for yourself.

Rodeo Games has supplied iOS gamers with yet another excellent strategy RPG. Possibly their best yet.

Whether you know the games that inspired Kickin Momma or not, it stands on its own ugly workbooks as a wonderful addictive monster-kickin' good time.
