Metal Slug Defense successfully combines the spirit of its run-and-gun predecessors with a competent set of strategy mechanics.

Stickman Football 2015 is a pretty entertaining arcade football game.

Infinite Tanks is a great, though less serious, take on the tank battling genre. It's sheer amount of content and options make it well worth the asking price.

A great mixture of some of my favorite strategy genres. Hopefully in future updates, Ankama will increase the level cap and add more levels and mini-games.

Overall 7 SEVEN The Thousand Year War is a good game, with plenty of depth, providing the player has the patience or money to help progression.

It's one of a very small handful of games that I would recommend wholeheartedly. I've yet to see such an impressive amalgamation of war gaming and the RPG genre, even after all these years. Just don't expect an easy ride.

Whether you’re dead-set or on the fence about picking it up, it only takes a stable WiFi connection and the tap of a button, so you may as well give it a go. Don’t blame me if you get addicted, though.

A near overwhelming array of options are available here, much like in real life.

While Urban Ninja may be a bit stiff at times with the control of the eponymous ninja, it can't detract from the great concept and the way the game splendidly explores its puzzle platforming for all its worth.

One-touch controls or not, it takes a fair amount of patience to see even a single level of GOL: Legend through to the end. But it's extremely satisfying when that happens.

Avernum: Escape from the Pit HD will be quite an epic experience for anyone who enjoys this older style of RPG. The storyline is interesting, combat system is complex and enjoyable, and the graphics and music fit this type of game well.

Iris Synthesis stands out as a cool puzzle game, though it's definitely recommended for play on larger screens.

With such a low cost of entry, Stretch the Puzzle is a real winner for anyone who remembers the fun that is to be had with a good old fashioned tile puzzle.

Criticisms aside, Alpha Squadron strikes enough of the same notes that its overall chord will certainly feel and sound familiar. Though the mission structure seems rather dogfight heavy, players will find more than enough gameplay to justify the $2.99 sticker price. Most importantly, it plays like it could have existed in the GameCube era, which is enough to render it an instant purchase.

Delivers smart and stylish match three gameplay that will keep you occupied and satisfied for hours.

Working the brain while relaxing the soul, LYNE is a nice app that's great to relax with and get lost within.

Given such a high level of difficulty, Puzzle Retreat should last many players quite a while, providing they don’t mind that the sole competition involved is with themselves.

Word Up Dog is an incredibly weird concept that seems all the more random when compared to the developer’s other releases, but that doesn’t make it any less amusing to play. It’s weird enough to enjoy without being too obtuse to follow. It’s also just plain goofy and worth showing off because it features animals dressed like rappers from the 80s: it practically sells itself.

When Hitman: Blood Money - Reprisal is behaving the way that it should, it's an amazing port of a pretty great game. The technical issues are obviously a problem, but--generally speaking--they did not sour me on the experience. The fact that the stealth-action of Hitman: Blood Money - Reprisal works so well on mobile despite the rough parts almost makes Feral Interactive's work on this version even more impressive.

Dudeski takes a surprising amount of inspiration from that hit roguelike platformer, Spelunky.

If you love strategy games, you'll love it. But the drawbacks-sometimes wonky controls, thin multiplayer offerings, and no autosave-can get annoying.

Going against the notion that it was impossible, NaturalMotion games has accomplished the feat of shrinking Jenga to fit into your pocket. Everything that you could ever want is there, showing that just about anything is possible on iOS.

The only thing impossible about this mission is not to have a great time playing it.

RAVENMARK: Mercenaries is a multi-player, free-to-play strategy game based on the gameplay mechanics of RAVENMARK: Scourge of Estellion.

Although I consider myself a cat person, Puppy Sanctuary definitely outdoes itself. The improved graphics, new toys and decorations, and the fun engaging levels make this a must-have in my book.

Put together, Youda Survivor sounds incredibly intense. It's actually not. It's a relaxing yet satisfying time management experience that eases the player in gently. With branching paths within the campaign and some keen times set to acheive gold medals, there's a lot of fun to be had here for fans of the genre.

The style of the game is very appealing and the gameplay is fast and addictive. It's an ideal combination.

Frogger-like in nature, Crossy Road is an easy to recommend endless runner of sorts.
