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

Knightmare Tower features a unique combat-based endless vertical gameplay, all without in-app purchases.

Stellar Wars excels thanks to the immense variety of the gameplay scenarios it presents.

Robot Unicorn Attack 2 takes everything that was great about the original and just adds more depth to it to make it a tremendous experience.

Add one part Limbo, one part World of Goo and a dash of Cut The Rope - get Contre Jour.

A little more logic to the galaxy maps, and a bit more information on the hats thing would be nice, but otherwise this is an almost perfectly executed game. Served in small fun helpings, Rocket Bunnies is a must-have.

Mad Acorn hasn't much depth, but it does have some really nice visuals, the great art, and inherent replay value based on desire to get better, rather than through extraneous incentives. It's a great pick-up-and-play title and solid summer casual gaming choice.

For fans of the side-scrolling shoot-em-up, Apocalypse Max delivers quite a lot in a fairly compact package. Requiring a fair amount of concentration, but never overly harsh, it wants you to be a survivor and will equip you with the appropriate weapon to do so.

With an excellent battle system and diverse character roster, Terra Battle is ever expanding and endlessly playable.

The slightly weird PC strategy game has crept onto the iPad and made itself right at home.

I wasn't expecting Into the Dead to be an endless runner, and I certainly wasn't expecting to have as much fun with it as I have, but it is and I did. I'd recommend it as an automatic buy regardless, but the fact that it's free makes it a (I'm sorry but I have to) no-brainer.

I love this game. CAPCOM spent a lot of time developing it and it shows. Street Fighter IV for the iPhone/iTouch is a complete, quality port of its console counterpart that will appeal to both hardcore veterans and newcomers.

The one thing all great puzzle games share is the ability to induce players into a state where they stop thinking and are just playing. Fractal: Make Blooms Not War is one of those games and anyone looking for a cheap yet high-quality iPad puzzle game should definitely give it a look.

Tongue very firmly in cheek, Trial of the Clone is a very funny, very enjoyable game book all about the destiny of a young clone.

Addictive gameplay and gorgeous level design are the real strengths of the game. Paper Munchers HD has just the right blend of style and originality to make it a physic-puzzler standout.

As a sequel it's more than solid, just download prepared for more of what you know and love, not a new experience.

An extremely addictive title. I've played many word puzzle games but this is by far one of the best in recent years. Its simplicity is precisely what makes it so beguiling.

Scurvy Scallywags is a match-3 puzzle game with RPG elements and unique gameplay.

The environments and characters in this game are beautifully animated, each with it's own personality and flair. The controls are simple and the physics are solid.

Heroes of Loot is about as close to pure, distilled arcadey dungeon-crawling joy as we're ever likely to get.

Waking Mars will be loved by fans of Metroidvania-style adventure games. Some of the backtracking can get annoying, but this is another fine title from Tiger Style Games.

Eustrath definitely has its flaws, but if you can get past the mind-numbing dialogue, there is surprising depth to the game with some good RPG elements to be played. It's definitely deeper, game play wise, than your average iOS gaming app.

If you are into "bullet hell" shooters, AirAttack is a great genre game. It's not so great that it transcends genres, but it is a solid game nonetheless.

868-HACK is a very challenging yet thoughtfully-designed roguelike from Michael Brough.

This endless runner literally flips traditional gameplay formulas for the genre on its side, making for a distinctly radical experience.

Mikey Jumps is a cool little game, but it probably won't blow you away. It offers up some fun micro-platforming that's fast and challenging, but nothing more than that.

The Silent Age is an absolutely fantastic adventure that fans of the genre should not miss.

Leo's Fortune delivers a platforming experience as creative and refined as any console game.
