At the end of the day, this isn't a high-art game or anything like that. It's about a granny killing zombies. Take it or leave it.

A Cloudy Adventure may require too deft a touch for some, but I think most players will get a kick out of its high difficulty, quirky personality, and retro atmosphere. The significance of the monocle and top hat mustn't be underestimated either.

The retro-style 8-bit graphics fit perfectly with gameplay that is like some sort of psychedelic mutant version of Pong.

Despite this frustration, Hungribles keeps a smile on my face as I feed those lovable little whatever-they-ares. With new levels coming soon, this could be another game with a lot to give behind its cute complexion.

Whether it's the controls, the visuals, or the perfectly fitting ambient soundscape, Glowfish is filled with enjoyment.

Even though there is no soundtrack (insert pouting), Leap Worm is a great game that will appeal to younger gamers and advanced gamers alike. The sound effects are satisfying, the challenges exciting and layered, and with 4 levels of difficulty to choose from, Leap Worm is bound to provide hours of gravitational fun.

As long as a player knows what they're getting in to, which is to say a very old-fashioned RPG, I think they'll enjoy Guardian Saga immensely. It does classic right. Just be mindful of the volume in crowded places as many of the "sound effects" are almost too Old School.

Has plenty of levels (with leaderboards) to keep players busy, lots of new elements are introduced regularly that build upon the basic mechanics, it looks amazing and it's just so darned cute.

At first I was kind of on the fence about Bug Heroes Quest, but after a leveling-up my heroes a bit and playing a few stages that are a bit more involved than the early ones I've done a complete 180. I love this game. A lot.

I'd love to give Last Defense of our Time a higher score, but the sloppy bugs make it a hard game to get fully on board with. Get past them and there's a great Missile Command homage with plenty of variety waiting to be enjoyed.

I really wanted to be able to recommend Bashi Blocks, but I just can't. As great as it looks and as much as it offers, the controls still manage to drag it all down. With an update or two this might be a serious contender, but it's not quite there yet.

Once players manage to get used to the controls and the gameplay, they will have fun dodging around crazy enemies, trapping them in and destroying them.

A fantastic platformer and a stellar iOS game. The controls are fluid, the visuals are wonderful and the levels all beg to be played over-and-over again in order to nab a full trio of stars (one each for completion, speed and gear collecting).

Dream Track Nation is fun and frustrating; I have often rage-quit while playing it, but it made future success so much more sweet. This is a very feature-packed game for $0.99.

Roboto is slick, familiar and simultaneously fresh, and gamers old and new will welcome the sidescrolling action gaming fun.

My big qualm with Temple Runner lies in the fact that the majority of the game's scenery looks the same. Yeah, the scenery does change here and there, but most of the time, gamers are running through ruined, temple pathways that look consistently the same. It all starts to blur together after a while.

The artistry is impeccable and the concept is fun, making Immuno an acceptable game for all ages. Blast those body-invaders and post on OpenFeint or play locally. Either way there are hours of germ crushing mayhem to be had with Immuno.

Considering that Happy Park is a free download, it's difficult not to be impressed. This is a well-designed, fun amusement park sim for iOS.

Still quite fun, but it isn't entirely fresh. Those looking for new levels with new concepts that explore the familiar formula will enjoy this. Those tired of the game won't find much here to appeal to them.

SuperRope's sketchy game mechanic and pay wall to further unlocks turned me off from this game. On a platform full of other quality endless ascension games, there just isn't the time to mess with this one.

The sumptuous feast of cars, the variety of different racing challenges, high production value along with simple brand recognition assure Need For Speed – Shift 2 – Unleashed will race to the top of the charts – where it deserves to be.

The game's visuals are lovingly crafted in super-saturated neon 8-bit renderings, making the game feel like the world's loudest, brightest 80′s arcade is crammed into your iOS device. The retro nostalgic won't want to miss this one.

Midnight Mysteries: Devil on the Mississippi is a refreshing dose of casual yet not necessarily simple gaming. One that lends itself to the wide playerbase that the app store covers.

I've got a folder set aside for these kind of games, the 'just one more go' games that are inexpensive but compelling. Ninja Fishing will be happily residing there for a while to come.

Goop isn't a deep game. While there are four different backdrops to navigate through, each rather attractive in appearance, the actual gameplay never differs.

It's vibrant, fun, addicting, adorable and a buck.

Jet Set Go is not going to win over folks who generally avoid this genre, but it's a great pick for anyone who enjoys resource management titles.

Armchair generals may not be surprised by Conquist 2, but I'm fairly certain they'll be impressed.
