Cling Thing surprises at every turn with clever uses of its sticky mechanics.

Sunshine is a difficult and fast-paced game, that most hardcore players will appreciate. There are many surprises along the way like boss levels, super powers and dangerous obstacles like cages, saws and meteors that really ramp up the difficultly level.

I'm absolutely in love with Crazy Taxi on iOS: it's a fantastic port of a bona fide classic.

Ravensword: Shadowlands is a must-have for fans of open-world RPGs who want this kind of major experience that they can take with them on their phone, and then sit back and enjoy while on the couch with their iPad.

Beyond these flaws, though, Disc Drivin' is easily one of the most addictive games I have ever played on iOS.

Squareface is a gorgeous and inventive third-person action game that rivals console titles.

An incredibly fantastic game. It can be stressful because of having multiple games to keep track of, and keeping strategies straight with multiple games is often a challenge!

A fairly cute and amusing package, though. The slight addition of RPG elements to help buffer spells and amulets between battles, along with the fairly difficult achievements for each individual level give plenty of incentive to go back and try again, as returning will not result in just rehashing with the exact same power level. And again, if humor and writing are something to be appreciated, this game has quite a bit on offer.

Feral Fury is one of the hardest games I've played this year, and I loved every punishing second of it. I wouldn't say it's perfect, especially if you don't have a controller to help you perform more reliably, but it's still bloody good fun.

Its thirty levels have quite a bit to offer, however, providing that little tinge of success that comes with a daunting challenge.

Girls Like Robots is a fantastic puzzle game: there's a lot of creativity that came from such a simple starting point, and the way that everything expands out from its simple beginnings is the kind of trait that great games have.

Mutant Fridge Mayhem – Gumball oozes fun. From the well-polished artwork and enjoyable music to the addicting gameplay and exciting power-ups, it's an instant classic and highly recommendable.

A clear winner with its touch-friendly, retro gaming. Support for Retina Display and fixing its minor bug are the only tweaks it needs for perfection.

While it seems this might get old after a while, played in short bursts, it actually has a lot of legs, with each play earning coins to unlock different music and themes.

Lose yourself in the clever, revamped Happy HIlls 2: Bombs Away! This puzzle-within-a-puzzle physics challenge lays down the gauntlet. It's up to you to pick it up!

Wargames have a notorious learning curve. Drive On Moscow tries to flatten that curve.

Players who enjoy bright, neon graphics with a retro feel will love the look of Lightopus and players looking for a challenging but satisfying experience will not be disappointed.

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

For all my complaining and frustration, I cannot stop playing Fighter City. It does what it does incredibly well. Enough so that I'm actually anxious to jump into a fight or two every time I have a free moment. Speaking of which, I should have more energy by now.

Limbo comes to mobile, brining its monochromatic horror creepiness to the touchscreen.

Blackbar is a mysterious and befuddling game about deciphering censorship to discover the narrative and message beneath it.
