    It's not something gamers will play for hours, but it's a fun, quirky title that will keep them entertained for those short moments where that's what they're looking for.

    SimplePhysics is an original effort – one that I can't help but appreciate for the combination of creativity and challenge it offers.

    Glo Flo is extremely simple in its execution as well as its appearance but underneath that simplicity is, well, more simplicity.

    While Home Sheep Home looks all cute and pretty, with it's water-color painting art style and little sheep derived from hugely popular TV characters - and while the game's really not all that bad, offering some nice challenges in the later levels with some very well thought out hints when things are getting tricky – it just doesn't feel like good value for money.

    Purchasing this title will provide many hours of frantically defensive fun, as long as you can tolerate a little frustration.

    Fighting of Sango lacks personality. It is fun and at the low price of 99c, Tower Defense fans looking for another fix will enjoy it. However once you complete it, you'll forget all about it and feel no overwhelming urge to return.

    Drop the Cake! is certainly fun to look at (or drool over), but the rich molten chocolate at the center of this confectionary game is the surprising challenge it presents. Consider this warning though: sometimes that rich center is hot and you may get burned.

    A game that doesn't break the mould or do anything outlandishly new, but is certainly able to stand on its own two feet (so long as repeatedly dying isn't a deterrent at the start).

    It's certainly pleasing to see this mix of real-life aircraft and scenarios alongside a more arcade-like gameplay style.

    This one has enough potential to be as huge as its older siblings: Angry Birds and Cut the Rope.

    Pinch 2 HD can be a real brain-teaser, with levels that are extremely challenging, especially if the player's goal is to collect all the medals. It requires a lot of outside-the-box thinking, and can be maddening at times.

    Mooniz is one of those iOS gems that hits an almost perfect balance between accessibility and nuance. Absolutely anyone can pick it up and just "get it" within seconds, but it'll take a lot more than mere comprehension to get even remotely close to the top of that scoreboard.

    A surprisingly fun strategy board game, with a lot of replay value. So much depends on the other penguins' moves, and the placement of fish tiles is random, so replaying the same board doesn't get too boring. More than that, though, the premise is simply fun.

    Questionable origins aside, MaXplosion is a relatively decent platforming romp, albeit one marred by repetitive levels and uninspired boss fights, as well as occasionally unresponsive controls.

    Streets of Rage 3 is absurdly challenging, and maybe not quite as classic as the first two games, but this is still an entertaining beat 'em up, and is plenty of fun in wireless multiplayer as well.

    Monsterz Revenge doesn't quite go so far as to revolutionise the casual social gaming market but it does go some way to feeling more like a game than something that you simply sit back and watch progress. If you're a fan of the genre, you're going to love it.

    iOOTP Baseball 2011 can often be convoluted, but I had tons of fun with it. As a huge baseball fan, I found myself engrossed and entirely addicted by the game. There could be a lot of work to improve the user interface, but that shouldn't deter other baseball fans from picking up and enjoy this game.

    Piclings doesn't have a lot to meat to it, but it does have a unique concept that works well, and makes for an interesting technological concept. It needs some more work to be a fully-fledged game, but it is a fun curiosity.

    Destructopus is a fun game. The amount of levels means there are a good few hours to play through here and most importantly, it's enjoyable.

    I don't like to fight my games – this isn't to say that I don't like challenge entirely, but that I like the challenge to come from the content of a game, not the interface.

    A very simple game to play but it's fun too. Accruing increasingly better multiplier scores is satisfying and there's enough going on to maintain your interest. I'm looking forward to new updates already.

    The 7th Guest: Infection does an excellent job converting a classic puzzle into a full blown game, but the level of patience and strategy required to fully enjoy the game might be a turn off for some.

    While the game is relaxing, it isn't something I'm likely to play again. There's no obvious flaw with Zen Bound 2, but there's something that turns me off from a game that's in between something passive (like Crosswords or Scrabble) and something active (like Angry Birds or Fruit Ninja).

    AIR Defense is a visually unique twist on a couple of familiar iOS genres. While the game is sometimes rough around the edges, there's some compelling elements here for those who enjoy defense games.

    Freefall Defender is extremely simple but it's also kind of fun. It doesn't set the world on fire but it passes the time nicely enough. Give it a shot if you're in the mood for quirky simplicity. Don't expect depth though!

    If you are into "bullet hell" shooters, AirAttack is a great genre game. It's not so great that it transcends genres, but it is a solid game nonetheless.

    For those that can look past the mechanical hang-ups, this game can be a blast.

    AFTO has a lot of potential. There is a beefy game here, full of interesting ideas that push the iPad into some new territory. If you're looking for the next stage in the development of the tower defense game, this may well be it.

    In a nutshell, as long as you are willing to put up with an amazingly sharp difficulty curve, Abstract War will entertain and delight.

    Overall, players aren't going to be terribly impressed with this. The gameplay is really very average and doesn't lead to anywhere that could be considered above average; with the awkward camera scheme it is really difficult to move with any constant sense of speed to appease the timer; and the presentation is perhaps the only redeeming quality of this game. Not the wisest of purchases.
