There's little else out there on the App Store quite like Fishing Superstars which benefits it greatly. It's a fresh take on a very traditional hobby and really quite enjoyable.

Puzzle Dungeons manages to balance fun, challenge, and progress quite successfully. Each of the three playable characters offers up a unique set of abilities (and by extension, strategies), and there's never any real punishment for failure.

Of all of Knizia's games, Kingdoms is definitely one of the less immediately accessible examples. That said, it can also be one of the most rewarding and entertaining once that barrier for entry is broken down. Although I think I'm always going to hate that stupid dragon tile.

Were it not for the fairly hefty price and just as hefty storage requirements (1.2 gigs) I'd easily recommend Spectral Souls for any strategy RPG enthusiasts. I'll recommend it anyway, actually, but these are some factors that are most definitely worth weighing.

A game that involves saving people rather than killing is great to see. However, EMERGENCY feels, ironically, too safe and fails to capture the threat that could have made it an exciting game.

If you're a die hard fan of these types of games or in need of a new pick-up-and-play title, Crash Birds Islands may be just up your alley. However, other gamers may want to wait for an update to improve the game play experience.

The idea of an MMO strategy game for a mobile platform is fantastic; it's just a shame the execution falls short of the game's potential.

I loved the concept of Cat's Island and the graphics are well-designed. If it wasn't for the controls, I would have had a hard time putting it down.

Drain Pipe Surf Dudes takes the popular tilt based endless runner motif and makes it cool and interesting. The ability to perform freestyle tricks might have been welcome, but what is there is an enjoyable experience. It's particularly great to dip into for short sessions of fun progressions.

Amazing Alex is a very engaging and challenging game, and presents all the proof needed that Rovio isn't just a one-trick birdy.

Level scoring, character power ups purchased with in-game currency and competitive leaderboards all help keep things fresh, but the core gameplay suffers a bit from the very simplicity that makes it appealing. That said, the gameplay is solid and the game is genuinely fun to play. In any case, the price is certainly right for players who at least want to give it a try.

All in all, if you love physics-based puzzle games, you'll find Bomb the Zombies to be a blast!

It's not the most serious physics puzzler out there, but it's fun and polished enough to merit a look.

Although the game suffers from a variety of faults, the simple RPG components allow the player to replay the game in different ways with a unique experience each playthrough.

Hanger's fundamental gameplay is very good and its weird, dark bent is intriguing. But the whole production just feels too cheap for it to be something truly great.

Fans of Minter's work will be happy with this game, and those that just love arcade shooters will find plenty of endearing elements. Caprichoso for life!

Zoo Defenders checks off all the tower defense boxes just fine but it does nothing to separate itself from its crowded genre. It's hard to condemn but hard to recommend as well.

Though the "freemium simplification" can indeed be viewed as a turn off for even the most forgiving fans, the real problems with My Monster Rancher can all be found in the interface.

Thirsty Fish is a simple game that is great for anyone needing something to play for a quick minute or two while sitting on the bus, but it's not something that most will want to play for hours because the game play gets repetitive.

There's a lot of depth and substance to Vampire Season.

The great controls and unique gameplay make Day Night a fun game with plenty of challenge. Definitely something here for players looking for something different.

It combines several elements from a couple of popular genres to great effect and can be surprisingly fun once the reigns are taken off.

While there is a very linear combat strategy which makes it seemingly impossible for players to lose, Corn Quest remains a solid, bargain-priced, strategy title that is very easy on the eye and fun to play. Spending time with vegetables has never been quite so great.

I'm absolutely hooked to Knights of the Round Cable. It's a cheap pun, and I'm going to use it! Few games pull me in like this, and find me so engrossed that I lose track of time. I absolutely love this game.

Overall, Doodle Cat is a breath of fresh air when compared to all the games available in the App Store. It's not fast-paced and there's no time limit, making it relaxing and a pleasure to play. If you love this style of game or you're looking for a new game to keep the kiddos occupied, I recommend checking out this freemium title today.

Pocket Heroes shows immense promise and is plenty interesting as-is when everyone is active. But that's the rub. Only time will tell if it will become a hub of activity or a complete ghost town.

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 this focus on multiplayer gaming that ensures Bounty Racer stands out from the crowd. It's a very enjoyable arcade racer for the lone gamer, but incorporating things such as Bounty mode feel more akin to something that a console game would offer and will surely extend longevity a ton.
