SideSwype is a puzzler that takes inspiration from Threes, but becomes its own incredibly fun game.

TownCraft is now a universal app, and assembling a personal little town is as engaging as ever.

Revolution 60 is a bold, cinematic action game with ambition to spare.

Haunt the House: Terrortown is noticeably short, but it's still a clever title that looks great.

WWE 2K demonstrates there's plenty to learn while wrestling.

Business ethics are the least of your worries in Happy Wheels - a physics based obstacle course game.

The base mechanics of cover-shooting and troop deployment in WarFriends are super fun and satisfying, but they fall apart since the game allows players to purchase significant advantages over others. The design of WarFriends's free-to-play trappings may not be particularly new, or even egregious, but these concepts still do a lot to keep the game from feeling like the amazing game it could have been.

There's really no reason not to check out Father and Son. It's a beautiful, free game that tells a solid story along the way. Go get it, and go visit the Naples Archaeological Museum to get more of it to play if you like it.

Bottom of the 9th is a really cool take on a sports game. It looks and feels almost nothing like most other video game sports, yet it captures the feeling of real sports in ways that a lot of other games don't. This magic is only at its best when playing with others though, and finding people to play Bottom of the 9th with can often feel like more trouble than it's worth.

This FMV mystery game is bursting of twists and turns, but certain ways they are meted out can make the experiencing all of them a bit tedious.

On the one hand, SOULCALIBUR is a 3D fighting game and has really great graphics, fast action, and a high polygon count. On the other hand, SOULCALIBUR is a 3D fighting game and is a complex game system with complex controls.

Minotaur Rescue is a solid little inertial shooter with plenty of TLC behind it. It can be quite chaotic, but the simple controls and offbeat elements in play make it fun and memorable, and the universal app support with expanded single-device multiplayer options is definitely a plus for iPad owners.

Galaxy on Fire 3 - Manticore is a great-looking shooting gallery with a lot of ways you can grind out progression. If that's what you're into, this game may be for you. If you were looking for a more open-ended space game that felt challenging and deep, you will not find what you're looking for here.

The game's physical mechanics are so well-executed that I enabled the push notifications with some anticipation mixed with my disappointment in the current product.

Galcon Legends revives one of the original iPhone games, and it holds up well to this day.

Charming fun. The puzzles are entertaining to solve and throughout, you feel relaxed playing it. It's soothing which is sometimes just what you need from a puzzle game.

Smash Cops is ludicrous, and I certainly think that in a world where sitting protesters are pepper sprayed, no current police department should ever be allowed to play this game lest they get the wrong idea from playing. The issues can get annoying, but there's still something viscerally entertaining about smashing cars at high speeds.

Like Ski Safari? Like Adventure Time? Want to play Ski Safari with Adventure Time characters? Well, I have good news!

While Rayman Adventures doesn't rekindle the same spark as previous outings, it's still an attractive package.

Leap from planet to planet collecting stars in this simple to learn one-touch jumping game.

Bird Zapper manages to be fun in a way that many similar games aren't, and I think that speaks to the attention to detail present here. Bird Zapper feels slick, and it's truly fun to play-even if it isn't the most original game in the App Store, Bird Zapper excels where it counts.

I absolutely adore roller coasters and endless games with simple controls are my favorite diversion; Madcoaster delivers both. But, what separates an instant classic from just another fun play and discard title is all in the details.

Tiny Plane is simple in premise, but less so in execution, making it an ideal choice for endless fans looking for a ramped up challenge, and for those who prefer that their games build replay value based not on tricks, but rather on a compulsion to beat the machine.

Bubble Witch Saga 2 is a much-improved update from King's original go-around with bright colors, additional challenges, and plenty of stages to complete.

A simple little game, a great little co-opting of two classic game concepts mashed up into one. It's the Reese's Peanut Butter Cup of games.

Much like the Trials series and Mad Skills Motocross, there will be swearing under your breath but also that urge to come back for more.

If it had a bit more polish and a better combat system, Phoenix Spirit would be a winner, but in its current form, I would keep it do genre fans only.

While the intangibles are all there, Deep Deep Dungeon lacks the depth of play that separates a good games from a mediocre one.
