    Still, despite the occasional hiccups, Rescue Rush is an ingenious concept that succeeds at turning real-world locations into a fun arcade game. It's just too clever to not enjoy on at least some level.

    Fans of endless racers that feel like the genre has been lacking zombies (because they're so underrepresented in modern culture) or just want an interesting new twist on the familiar concept should check this one out.

    For those brave souls willing to put their musical talents (or lack of them) out on display, Jam for iPhone is bound to be a lot of fun, assuming they can tolerate the wonders of auto tune. It's quite satisfying watching one's creation work its way up the charts.

    Streetfood Tycoon: World Tour doesn't evolve a huge amount beyond these core concepts, even though it does throw in frivolous extras such as the presence of celebrities. Play it for 30 minutes or 3 hours and it'll still be mostly the same. And yet, I still find myself going back for more, which isn't bad going at all for a free to play game.

    Art Mogul might not expand hugely upon its initial opening gambit, instead building upon that and rewarding the player with arbitrary rank boosts, but it's a fun mix of simulation and Hidden Object gaming, nonetheless.

    Take My Machete is worth a look, given it costs nothing to play, but I can't see it lasting as more than a mild distraction for many.

    Even with the knowledge that Pixel People has no real meat to it and is about as "fun" as browsing someone's Facebook page I still have a hard time putting it down. Heck, the whole time I've been typing this I've been itching to get back to discovering new jobs. I can't quite explain why but this is definitely one time-waster worth checking out.

    Baseball Superstars 2013 finds a way to hook players in though bite-sized game sessions, and keep them coming back for inning after inning. This is a worthy successor to the franchise's throne and sure to coax another few million downloads from iOS gamers.

    Which is to say, it's an amusing romp that manages to touch on a lot of little desirable bits of a strategy RPG game without getting too much in the way of having fun.

    There's no denying that Pantheon the Legends isn't much of a game. However, even slight fun is better than no fun at all.

    Assuming the extremely unfortunate crash bug is taken care of I could see Dungeon Lore being a decent fix for genre fans. It has its quirks but the actual gameplay and exploration can be enjoyable. It's just a shame that the shop breaks everything.

    Stratego can be great fun when playing against another person, even with numerous losses due to playing against people who actually know what they're doing, but the single player should be avoided at all costs.

    Ruzzle is without a doubt one of my favourite word games currently available – and why wouldn't it be; with it's super tense game play, fun social elements and unique take on the word game genre, it's definitely worth a try in my book.

    The concept of playing against real celebrities is actually quite entertaining. It's a little weird at first, but I enjoyed the game's style.

    HeadshotsAlley is not a "for all ages" kind of game. The subject matter, visuals, and overall difficulty might be too much for some to handle. Anyone who isn't bothered by these three elements, however, should have a grand old time blasting face and chasing that high score.

    Corrypt is a game that got my attention with its visuals, gained my favor with some interesting gameplay twists, and finally earned my utmost respect and adoration when it pushed those twists even farther.

    Cracking Sands is a comprehensive top-down racer. Although it plays like many other racing games, the numerous game mode, races, and customization features make it one of the better racing apps available.

    Ride 'Em Rigby is a game that doesn't break any new ground, but it is good enough to satisfy the Regular Show fanbase that will check out the game because of the license. It's solid yet inoffensive and that's perfectly fine.

    It's tough to resist the charm of Banana Kong and while it's never going to be as exceptional as the Donkey Kong Country series, it's a warm, Endless Runner focused alternative.

    Taking a step back and looking from a place of objectivity, it is genuinely hard to recommend picking up NFL Quarterback 13. Last year's game now costs a dollar less and features nearly an identical on-the-field experience, not to mention a more streamlined user interface. Though there was no real reason to re-invent the wheel this season, trying to send the same tire through the car wash a couple of times and sell it as new feels like an insult to the fans.

    Kairo is the kind of game that should please most old school adventure game fans. Especially those who enjoy semi-obscure puzzles built around a series of rules they have to figure out on their own. However, thanks to the useful hint system even less puzzle savvy players can enjoy themselves without getting frustrated.

    Undead Slayer is really entertaining. It controls well, it's simple, yet uncannily deep. It looks good, and despite the painful dialogue, shallow story, and lagginess, it's a solid hack-em-up. Lively and outrageous, we had a blast with this one.

    Blade Lords does get points for really trying to do something different with the one-on-one combat experience by going down a familiar route. While I'd like to see less monetization influence and more pure fighting game influence added, this is still interesting enough to check out for fighting fans.

    Half-Inch Heist can be nerve-wracking in a good way, the chiptune music is intense and a great fit, and I enjoy the pixel art style. With some tweaks to be more user-friendly, I think this could be a challenging-yet-fun game, instead of merely challenging my patience.

    Rocket Island scratches that itch between casual strategy game that is just tap-and-move and far too full of dense information so that entire evenings are lost in the bat of an eyelash. There's just enough depth and charm to keep one entertained for a dozen minutes here and there, and the same amount of whimsy found in older god-simulation titles.

    The gameplay and controls are just about flawless and although it won't blow anyone's socks off with stunning 3D graphics or really innovative game mechanics, Hungry Oni offers a simple and easy gameplay.

    Ninja, Inc. is a little rough around the edges and possibly suffers from having a bit too much to do at one time, but it's surprisingly difficult to put down.

    Since the majority of my guild mates don't seem to play much, if at all, Immortalis almost feels more like a single player game with an internet connection requirement than an online one. That's not to say it isn't fun even without much peer participation but I could only imagine it becoming all the more formidable if the social interactions got a little more prolific.

    Tennis in the Face is not about tennis at all. It has a crazy premise, but good level design and fun game play. It's a very easy and casual game to kill a few minutes with.

    Squarescape is a clever little puzzle game that takes a simple concept and challenges the player to succeed at it. I can dig it.
