This puzzle game is an excellent way of getting into gaming on your iPhone or iPad, and is accessible to anyone. No real gaming skill is needed to play so there will be a great sense of achievement with each level passed.

The game is visually a treat when it isn't distracting and its individually separated level segments differentiate it from other endless platformers.

Overall, Amoebas Attack is a dual stick shooter worth exploring if you're in need of a fun freemium title or if you're a fan of this genre. It's got enough going on for it to keep players occupied for longer than five minutes, but at the same time it can get repetitive the longer gamers play.

Gary Games and Incinerator Studios have done a great job of both creating a fantastic card game, and porting it to iOS.

Wind-Up Knight is a game I have no problem referring to as a "Must Play." It's perfect for short bursts or prolonged sessions. There's a surprising amount of customization. It can be accessible and brutally punishing, depending on what the player wants. This, my friends, is a perfect example of mobile gaming at its finest.

A mechanized MMO battler with some teeth.

Sword & Poker 2 is like the Pokemon sequels: it hasn't changed much, but it's still an incredibly addictive and satisfying game.

Black Label may be dearer than Bug Princess 2, but it is the version to own of this beautiful, devastatingly addictive shmup.

Kingdom Rush Vengeance proves there is still room for new, great tower defense games on an App Store that sometimes feels overloaded with them. Although it still has some annoying monetization stuff in it, Kingdom Rush Vengeance is the biggest and baddest the series has been. A few IAPs doesn't change the fact that this is a must-buy.

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.

A clever, beautiful, vibrant game that will tickle your visual-auditory fancy. Its sublime levels, decorated with rich, textured art and graphics and polished, engrossing game play will entice you into playing over and again.

Magic 2013 is one of the best iOS games I've played this year. Hands down.

Fieldrunners 2 is a fine example of just how much fun can be garnered from an iOS device. Offering many hours of fun for a mere $3 is an utter bargain and Fieldrunners 2 truly deserves its title of the new king of tower defense. Now, how about an iPad version?

Search the neighborhood for supplies and desperately fight off the zombie horde in familiar local spots in this apocalyptic MMO.

It may not look like it at first glance, but Ninja Wrath is actually one incredibly slick iOS action game.

Void Tyrant is an incredibly creative and deep card-based roguelite.

Horn is a well-crafted game that has been well thought out. The story is creative and lovingly presented, and works with the thematic concepts perfectly. Aside from very few control issues, this is definitely a great game that shouldn't go unnoticed.
