Gameplay-wise touch controls continue to fit this genre like a glove.

Cave Crawlers is one of the most enjoyable dungeon crawling RPGs on the App Store. It might not be to everyone's liking with its odd combat system, but the amount of customization in both weaponry and armor alone should give loot collectors hours of entertainment.

An entertaining little puzzle game. It involves enough strategy and challenge to keep players thinking and entertained for a decent price. I enjoyed the graphics, the style of the game and the game elements that it employs. I would recommend giving it a whirl and playing all 6 free levels before purchasing the full version.

Don't miss this spiky gem. If putting that shiny new iPad or iPhone to great gaming use is the journey, Crazy Hedgy is the destination.

Negatives aside, Puzzling Penguins 2 is a charming little puzzle game, and will keep gamers' attention for a good while.

There's a ton of potential in SpySpy. The more forgiving early stages are proof of this. However, until the controls get a tweaking (at least let us get off of ladders without having to climb all the way to the bottom) I can't really call it a "must play." Maybe more like "must watch."

Despite the guiding god style of gameplay being long ignored, Save The Furries makes a good step towards showing that the genre is still alive and well. As long and consumers can get past the game's hefty $3.99 pricetag, there is quite a bit to love in this planetary puzzler.

It's amazing that Soccer Showdown, a game from a small developer like Naquatic, could come and make Game Center integration a key part of its product, and make it actually possible to easily find games to play.

I understand the desire to make games that try to emulate console-style gameplay on iOS, but they usually wind up falling flat because they're not particularly a good fit for the platform. It's just that M.U.S.E. feels flat even for iOS, like if there's a really good game here, it's still ways off from being fully realized. There are other, better, 3rd party shooters to check out before this one.

The controls aren't perfect, but some assists are included to make them a bit easier to handle. Obviously, the Mega Man series being what it is - extremely difficult platforming games that demand player perfection - this isn't the ideal Mega Man experience, but it is a fun way to experience these games on an iOS device.

Word Lubbers takes some time to master but it's worth persevering. With a relatively tight time limit before the enemy pirates wipe the player out, it's a frantic race but one that is winnable and quite satisfying in the end.

Rarely are there games that can successfully manage to tickle the critical thinking and humor quadrants of the brain. Tales of Monkey Island – Episode 3: Lair of the Leviathan does this with ease, while showing players a little taste of old school gaming. This is an quest well worth continuing.

While it's an incredibly deep and rewarding game, there's an enormous barrier for entry. And even after learning most of the ins-and-outs it can still be a rough road. Still, it shows an incredible amount of promise. With an update or two it could be a real gem.

Wind-Up Knight is a game I have no problem referring to as a "Must Play." It's perfect for short bursts or prolonged sessions. There's a surprising amount of customization. It can be accessible and brutally punishing, depending on what the player wants. This, my friends, is a perfect example of mobile gaming at its finest.

By giving players a decent amount of lives and plenty of time to explore the level, Donkey Jump seems at least aware of its own difficulty. Still, that isn't enough to make up for how one must fight against the game itself to make any progress. It's hard for all the wrong reasons.

The original Lumi was a must-have game. This iOS port is even more so. It's actually less expensive and will be featuring even more content (game modes, levels, etc.) thanks to planned future updates. Fans of platformers or stylistic indie games in general shouldn't let this one slip by unnoticed.

The puzzles are fun and the game is very well designed. If players can play without losing their lunch, they are likely to have a great time.

As someone who grew up idolizing fictitious cartoon characters each weekend, such as the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, I was instantly drawn to Seal Force. It plays to that particular audience incredibly well. However, it's more than just a nostalgia trip. It's also a clever mash-up of two popular iOS genres that, surprise surprise, work quite well together.

At risk of sounding jaded, Blobster Christmas feels like a glorified level pack set to a soundtrack that repetitively resembles a holiday orchestra. If this were say, an Angry Birds game, this would have been a completely free update.

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."

Kingdom Rush offers enough variety in towers and enemies to take up more than a few minutes of someone's time, especially those who enjoy a very well done tower defense game. And this is one of them making it an easy recommendation to buy.

The controls can be a little hard to handle and the environments can feel a little cramped at times, but Dead on Arrival is far from DOA.

The visuals are superb and it's easy to tell that Kieffer Bros. is really in the business of honing its craft as an app developer. It's so easy to enjoy this puzzler and so hard to get tired of it, and as a free app it is so worth the time to download and try it out.

LostWinds is a very worthy purchase. It was relatively expensive for its length on the Wii but on the App Store, it fits in nicely. There may be limited replayability once completed, except for those desperate to collect all the Melodia Idols around the game, however the general ambience is warm and enjoyable. It's backed up by some neat wind based mechanics. LostWinds is a fine way to spend some time.

Though the game is extremely fun, it is certainly not worth its current $4.99 price. When you top that off with the additional lure of microtransactions within the game itself, it makes me wonder why it even costs anything to begin with.

The original game had some great artwork, although the finer details were a bit absent, and that's no different here. However, the lack of detail is almost completely nullified by being on the small screen.

Really, with the control flaws, and with so many other physics puzzlers that aren't as frustrating to control, why spend any time on this one? It's not bad…but there are a million alternatives. Play one of them first.

Sin or Win takes a few minutes to warm up to, but it's entirely worth a download. Toxic Blob takes one of the most attractive features of Pocket God, and builds a full game out of it, one that will leave gamers desperately clawing at the screen in an attempt to save these unbelievably dumb cavemen.
