Who says cheap simple games have to suck? Robosockets is definitely an app I would recommend someone looking to kill some time and had some spare change.

If it weren't so buggy, we'd have given it a much higher score, and it would be at the top of our list of favorite games. In the meantime, FD will sometimes simply refuse to start, and will often crash to the home screen for no apparent reason.

The fire physics in the game are excellent.

If you feel like you've thoroughly exhausted yourself with Angry Birds and its many seasonal sequels then the Siege Hero game may not be for you. If a new twist on what is already a classic game sounds up your alley then Siege Hero is definitely something worth looking into.

Overall, Treasure Seekers: Visions of Gold is definitely one of the prettiest hidden object iPhone games around.

All in all Poker Pals is a great, light iOS app that is a worthy purchase if you have plenty of friends who enjoy similar gameplay types. Just don't expect a real brain teaser.

If you like your trivia with a healthy side of snark and a touch of risque, age hasn't mellowed You Don't Know Jack one bit, and it emerges onto the app scene as a very smart and sharp challenge for grown-ups.

EPOCH has a short campaign, but a large replay value. A great iPod Touch , iPad , or iPhone app that is well worth the money.

But if you aren't up for a good challenge then this one may frustrate you.

The controls work surprisingly well and don't get in the way like they do with some similar iPhone games. Overall, including the fact that the game is absolutely free, I'd say that Zenonia 4 is a definite must-buy app.

There's a lot to like about this little game: excellent writing, nice graphics, and puzzles that are actually fun to solve. Truthfully, the only complaint I had was the length of the game, and even then, it wasn't that I felt cheated in any way; I was just eager for more.

The lack of any real depth and the abruptness with which the title becomes stale both ruin the value of it.

NFL Rivals is a great arcade football game that will always put a smile on any football fan's face. If you've enjoyed the Backbreaker series, or you can't get enough NFL action, this is definitely a title to add to your iPhone's collection.

Pulse: Volume One is an iPad app to cherish-and to keep on hand if the kids are bored in the back seat. It's so fun that the Angry Birds guys must be jealous.

Reckless Getaway is a fun casual racing game that can surely steal hours away from you if you're not careful. While it isn't the deepest racing game (you simply play each level with no "career" mode or online racing), the challenge of the single player mode is enough that it won't get old anytime soon.

Perfect for children and adults of all ages, Monster Island is a great iOS game at a great price.

Battle Nations features an intense audio soundtrack, but it's nothing special. The graphics aren't amazing, but they're unique and give Battle Nations its own style.

The bottom line of this review is that you can't beat free, and the cost here overcomes any shortcomings. The cartoon graphics are very crisp and clear, and they look great on the smaller screens used by the iPhone and iPod touch. We'll certainly be keeping this iPhone app installed, and we look forward to seeing how the board looks on the larger iPad screen.

An amazing value at only $0.99

Just another casual matching game, so it's not going to change anyone's life, but as matching games go, this is a very, very nice one. It's polished, professional, and dripping with fishy charm, which is about all you could ask for in a simple game like this one.

Playing Chop Chop Kicker is fun and addictive enough that you may want to just sit down at the end of the day and play it for an hour or so - at least, it may not feel like an hour to you.

Between the smooth graphics, fun aiming controls, and the immersive tactical team gameplay, I'd highly recommend Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Shadow Vanguard.

Eufloria HD is certainly worth trying, but it's likely not worth the current $4.99 price tag.

Infinite Dreams has created a fun and intuitive iPhone and iPad app through its attention to the right mix of details-great graphics, precise control, and cool game atmosphere. A

I enjoyed Perfect Cell, but it wasn't the masterpiece I was really hoping for. It's definitely an interesting and innovative game, but with its relatively high price tag of $4.99, I would expect much smoother controls, at the very least. Bottom line, it's not bad, but with a little more work, it really could have been great.

Rune Raiders aims more for the casual gamer; for hardcore strategy fans, consider 100 Rogues as a pretty good alternative strategy iPhone game. For everyone else, Rune Raider is a decent, if not short, entrance to the world of strategy role-playing games.

An incredible experience.

The concept is fairly original and the controls are simple to use.
