Football Heroes has a good game of football at its core, but some of the missing features are killer.

That level of ingenuity ensures that Rope Rescue HD is well worth playing. It's an interesting title that's enjoyable to play for gamers of all age and skill levels. What more could anyone want?

Like a good thrill ride, Lumicon goes from banal and meditative, comfortable and easy to a tilt-a-whirl of tossing, screaming, stomach-flipping nostalgia. It's why I stand in line for 45 minutes in the first place.

While it's got some room for improvement, it has a lot of good things going for it, has plenty of value and challenge in its 65 levels for $1.99 and is a concept that I hope gets explored even more in future updates and future games.

ENYO is pretty great fun, but doesn't quite hit the high bar that Tinytouchtalesset for themselves with Card Crawl. It's still worth playing if you enjoy roguelikes, but otherwise it may not hold your attention for long.

Some slight free-to-play and performance annoyances aside, Asphalt Xtreme is a heck of a fun racing game.

All of that previous dousing of alien fires was just a prelude to this.

If you like rhythm games at all, or even just games in general and have any sense of timing, Rhythm Spirit is for you. It looks great, plays great, and is one of the most unique experiences that you will find in the App Store.

A simple game. It's run-and-jump, over and over again; the only semblance of "depth" comes with the online leaderboards.

It's not perfect by any means with the size of the ape making it tricky to line him up correctly at times. Controls can also be a little clumsy and not always as accurate as you'd like, even despite the option of tilt and touch based methods. Despite the rough moments, Monkey Slam succeeds thanks to its charm and change of pace for an usually predictably genre.

Concealing a deeper meaning, Pretentious Game is an enjoyable platformer with a touching message.

Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath is an excellent example of how to meld gaming styles into one great experience, all while crafting a fascinating universe.

Match-three to defeat waves of monsters in this challenging puzzle RPG.

World Zombination is a fun twist on the base building/tower defense format, and it really does feel original.

Spacecom is a simple looking space based strategy game, that won't be to everyone's tastes.

It's a bit repetitive after a time, but Day of the Viking is fun in short doses.

The almost puzzle-like gameplay of figuring out how best to cause the most destruction is simple, complex, and satisfying in every way.

Newcomers might be a tad lost with some of the story elements, but that won't stop them from enjoying themselves. Plus they can always download every other game in the series for a grand total of "hardly anything."

The force is strong with this one.

Even with its relative ease and its short gameplay, it's hard not to like Scarlett and the Spark of Life.

What Extraction has done is to find a way to boil down the normally complex shooter controls down to simple commands that can be issued seamlessly with one finger.

Charming and colorful, Glorkian Warrior is a frantic shoot em up full of reasons to return for more.

Master of Alchemy was beautiful on the iPad and its jump to the iPhone is no less breathtaking and fascinating to play.

Ski Safari is just plain old great. It's simple enough to get into right away, but has just enough intricacies to keep things interesting. The added tasks and quirky power-ups are also a big plus. Yet another high-quality runner to add to that ever-growing library.

Tap Tap Revenge Tour isn't new, but it's smart, gorgeous, and satisfying as a free game, while being enough fun to warrant spending some real money for favorite tracks. Grab it and start shredding.

It's simple to drop into Time Geeks & Friends for a brief time, just to make one's moves and return to the day's activities for a bit longer. Its quirky charm really is quite endearing.

Ultimately though, King Oddball is sufficiently enjoyable that any other purpose isn't really needed. It's simplistic to a near fault (right down to the lack of any proper menus) but when it's this much fun, who cares?

I truly can’t recommend Can Knockdown 3 enough. It’s exceeded my expectations massively and is a fantastically simple yet addictive title.
