When it comes right down to it Dungeon Hunter 2 is too bland, too predictable and too expensive to recommend.

Earthcore: Shattered Elements is slow to start, but it builds quite nicely.

Dungeons of Dreadrock's is a completely unexpected surprise. When you start playing it, it looks and feels like it is just one of 1,000 other fantasy-themed puzzle games you've seen before, but it is so much more than that. Its world feels alive and its action feels so dynamic just by nature of the puzzle logic and design it puts forth. It is a commendable achievement that is worth celebrating. You owe it to yourself to give Dungeons of Dreadrock a try.

I love The Blockheads for much the same reason I love baseball, I suppose. I can watch baseball while doing something else, and The Blockheads is a perfect game to fill my time. Check it out.

Some rules in Pocket City are frustratingly rigid, while others are so easy to work around that they feel game-breaking. These inconsistencies ultimately make for a game that only stays enjoyable up to a limit. Although there is a pretty fun progression to the game, you never feel like you have the full freedom to make the city you want. Instead, you always feel like you have the freedom to make the kind of city that nobody wants, which is not particularly satisfying.

Is it a perfect game? No. Is it a heck of a lot of fun? Yeah. It's certainly one of the better zombie games in the App Store, and a more enjoyable zombie shooter than any of Capcom's attempts to port RE to the device.

A SHMUP that isn't designed to steal your quarters? What is this madness?

A well done game and it really shows off its polished visuals and mechanics.

There is something habit forming about Bee Leader. I'm not sure if it's the aesthetic or the gameplay that's doing it, but something keeps me playing until my fingers are sore. It's not quite a must-have, but definitely a great choice for a casual gamer's collection.

Feast or Famine is a non-endless runner with a great sense of style and personality. Every now and then Glyph may not react as intended but that doesn’t undo all the fun that’s been had up until that point. Runner fans: stoke those cooking fires.

Despite being a game about holes, Donut County is a remarkably complete experience. It’s got the charm and silliness of something like Katamari Damacy, but with some added depth, interesting character work, and compelling storytelling to boot. This is an absolute must play.

In the heyday of adventure games, players would put up with being stuck and pixel-hunting because–in doing so–they could expect to be rewarded with an interesting story and entertaining characters. Thimbleweed Park is a game that provides very elegant solutions to the mechanical problems of traditional adventure games, but then completely fails to provide any sort of satisfying narrative payoff in return. As a result, Thimbleweed Park is easy to play, but extremely hard to enjoy.

While Slice It may not have the most "whiz bang" excitement in the App Store, its simple premise is executed perfectly.

Slingshot Racing is a ton of fun. The quick sessions make it perfect for pick-up-and-play gameplay, the grappling hook mechanic is very easy to learn, yet difficult to truly master. Snowbolt and Crescent Moon have absolutely nailed this game.

While I do wish the game was more difficult, it's just too fun to put down, which can only mean good things.

Junk Jack X succeeds as a crafting game thanks to a wealth of features, a beautiful look, and the fact that it's made for touch screen devices.

This is a fantastic twin-stick shooter, both in its free and paid versions, and if you have any kind of love for the genre then it cannot be resisted.

Combining many popular genres pays off for this original and fast-paced game.

If you've been looking to get into the series but haven't tried it yet, or loved Super QuickHook's endless modes, this is a perfect pickup.

If you are a fan of rhythm games and find yourself liking scary looking fur-balls, then Thumpies is the game for you.

It's incredibly well designed, addictive and finding new effective spell combinations never gets old.

Even as nothing more than a gimped-but-free distraction, Kard Combat is still a lot of fun.

Even with this rather large laundry list (I don't have enough space to list them all) of bite-sized problems, I'd still recommend Terra Noctis wholeheartedly to anyone who loved to jump on things. It's beautiful to look at and listen to, but it's also just plain fun to play.

Despite the token system limiting gameplay, Scramble with Friends is in a three-way tie between Words with Friends and Crosswords as my favorite iOS word game.

Super Bunny Breakout is worth checking out for those who like the Breakout formula, and want to see it tweaked with, and featuring bunnies instead of lifeless spheres. Good luck figuring out that energy mechanic, though, it's either terrible or benign!

Quell Memento is one of the better sliding puzzle games out there on the App Store. It’s varied and lengthy enough to be well worth a purchase for puzzle fans.

Work together to cure the world of disease in this cooperative translation of a popular board game.

Round One - Fight! No quarters required for this iOS adaptation of a tabletop adaptation of the arcade fighting game genre. How's that for a combo?
