    If you want a taste of what it's like to perform maintenance and repairs in space, give Astronaut Spacewalk a try. The level of detail and realism is extraordinary, and you won't find anything else like it on the App Store.

    Angry Fly Adventure HD is only $1.99, and for that amount it is definitely worth a try. The controls may be hard to master, but the graphics and attention to detail are amazing, making it worth every penny.

    The missions can get a bit repetitive, but the incentive of earning coins to upgrade your platoon, recruit new soldiers, and buy new weapons should keep you coming back for more.

    A clever word game that does freemium right.

    This game is simply fantastic. There are 200 puzzles, many with multiple solutions. There are even more ways to play by checking out the Community section and playing a user-created tangram. Fans of the classic dissection puzzle game will really enjoy this app.

    War of Words Apocalypse is free to play, but it is ad supported with incredibly intrusive ads. Full screen ads are shown after almost every turn, and it takes several seconds before you can tap the tiny check box to close the ad. Tapping in the wrong spot will open the ad, and it's very easy to tap on accident.

    An incredibly addictive tower defense game. Its star-based upgrade system, paired with crisp artwork and butter smooth gameplay, will definitely have you soaking hour after hour into the game.

    The price is perfect for something so simple and fun. If you like matching games, give this one your full attention.

    While it is a paymium title, like many of Gameloft's recent releases, The Amazing Spider-Man manages to provide a sense of freedom from both the in-app purchases, and the natural laws of physics as well.

    Seriously, give this game a try and blast the limbs off of the undead.

    I definitely enjoyed Unstoppable Fist, with its fun mix of retro graphics, rocking chiptunes, simple gameplay, and an addictive objective: be unstoppable. And how can you resist a chance to be a character that looks like Brock Samson from "The Venture Bros."?

    This game is a lot of fun. The graphics are cute and there are plenty of power ups to increase your point score. Stars are easily collected and, even though you can buy them through in-app purchases it is not necessary at all.

    Sketchman isn't the best endless runner that I've played, but it is decent. It's an iPhone only game – if you want to play on your iPad, you'll need to by the HD version, which is really the major negative to this game.

    This is an awesome game that's sure to appeal to zombie fans, especially those who enjoyed the developer's other title, Stenches: A Zombie Tale of Trenches.

    This is a game that will definitely keep your mind sharp. Its 8-bit graphics and chipset music definitely harken back to ye olden days of gaming.

    This game is not going to please serious pinball players. It is more like a kids version of the tabletop game.

    It is unbelievable that a game this complex costs only $0.99. It is worth at least three times that much. If you like adventure games mixed with arcade games, then you won't want to miss this.

    This is becoming one of my favorite new social games, and I highly recommend you give it a try, especially if you love puzzle games already. It's a welcome and fun challenge on your iPhone.

    This game is fantastic. I highly recommend it for anyone who likes shoot 'em up games, especially ones that are based in outer space.

    My only complaint is that it is a bit short, but that is easily overlooked when you consider its low price point ($4.99) and its innovative graphic style.

    If you're a word game lover, you will want to give Lumicon a try.

    Trivi.al is one of the more enjoyable trivia games that I have played. The visual appeal and clean menu layout makes the game inviting to gamers of all types, and the competition factor will get you hooked after a few rounds. With both a free and paid version, there's no reason why you shouldn't hop in to the world of Trivi.al right now.

    An excellent take on catapult-style gameplay. While the 3-D twist might seem daunting or alienating to fans of the 2-D style, it's safe to say that the gameplay is just as engaging as ever.

    Having challenges and other game modes to play is a nice change from the standard fare that I normally play, and I'm especially enjoying the Two-Headed Giant mode (a team battle) from the Custom Games option.

    Gemibears may be just another match-three game, but it is the best looking one I've ever played.

    With its simple gameplay, engaging storyline, and neat visual style, WarGames is a blast to play.

    A decent casual title, but it's no Fruit Ninja. At this point in time, Thirsty Fish is overly simplistic and overpriced at $1.99. While I'd recommend it to those of you who love casual titles, I'd also recommend waiting for a sale.
