Sparkle 2 is a marble-shooter with an enormous amount of content, lots of challenging levels, and a great look.

Winky Think Logic Puzzles include numerous tactile puzzles that will challenge all age groups.

But really, Kingdom Conquest does a fantastic job at being more than just the typical farming game, while keeping a lot of what makes these types of freemium games work.

Shaken or stirred, CounterSpy is simply the best stealth action game to sneak its way onto the App Store.

Help the Googabonga restore light and color back into their world as they travel the galaxy and defeat the evil Goorano alien race in this exciting arcade action game!

If playing poker with Brock Samson sounds like fun, then, well, Poker Night 2 is well worth a download.

The game does just about everything right. Great graphics, universal app support, online play, solid controls; this is Sega's best game so far on the App Store, and is well worth a pickup for fans of kart racers and Sega's characters.

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

It’s a little heavy-handed with some of the in-app purchase suggestions, but Cut the Rope 2 is still quite the delight.

Brutal. Uncompromising. Utterly addictive. FTL finally warps to iPad and it's even better than we'd hoped.

Heroes and Castles is quite possibly Foursaken Media's most refined strategy title yet, and I personally find it to be their most entertaining. It's still a little rough around the edges in a few places but it's full of enough upgrades and unlocks (not to mention fun) to keep fans of the genre, or the developer, busy for quite a while.

If you enjoyed the original Chopper, you will absolutely love Chopper 2. The graphics are better, the game is more epic, and most importantly… it's more Chopper.

It's easy to scoff at, but it turns out WWE Supercard is a surprisingly engaging digital trading card game.

Crafty Creatures' aesthetic isn't just about looking good. The creative potential of arts and crafts represents the creative potential of the game itself. That potential shouldn't be left to go to waste.

Solve puzzles, explore fully 3D environments, interact with numerous characters, and discover the truth in Lost Echo - a gripping mystery adventure game.

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.

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.

Rarely do you see an iOS port that goes to such great lengths to preserve what made the PC version so special.

Piloteer is like trying to teach an octopus with an inner ear problem how to fly a helicopter, and I absolutely love it.

At the risk of sounding cliché, it's not hard to argue that FIFA 13 is a pitch perfect adaption of the world's sport. While that might be a bit extreme, the brand's dedication to tweaking game mechanics until they are perfect, seems to be shining through loud and clear.

A fantastic, atmospheric game with absolutely gorgeous visuals and tremendous replay value. You'd have to be insane to pass this up, although you may end up that way, regardless.

Bean's Quest 2: Bean Dreams delivers on its promise of being more of the first game, for better or for worse.

Bloody Epic is one surpisingly fun runner. It’s got plenty of unlockables (even without counting the “special” IAP gear), an unexpected amount of strategy to employ, and buckets o’ gore. Not even buckets, more like swimming pools or something. All in all it’s a great use of $1 and a great way to kill time. Also orcs and undead.

If you have the right device, and if you don't mind the price, then you must play Dodonpachi Resurrection.

The fighting and avoiding mechanics are a delight to watch and effect as a player, while the high quality production makes the game a must-own for any gaming or Spider-Man fan.

Mikey Boots is a fine third installment in the excellent Mikey series of platformers.

This action game makes a triumphant return to the App Store and feels just great as it did 15 years ago.

The only thing wrong with UHR-Warlords' sublime strategic battles is that there aren't more of them.
