For me, Guardian Saga hits the iPhone game sweet spot: simple enough to play for a few minutes waiting in line, but with enough variety and adventure to remain interesting.

A cute casual game that packs a great deal of strategy and fun into a tiny package.

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.

Feed-the-Duck is pleasant and challenging, but not without its flaws. It's not ready to steal Angry Birds' spotlight yet, but it's still a good way to spend a bus ride or a wait in line.

Magnetic Baby also brings a level of difficulty that many iOS games lack, so if you are up for a real challenge this may be for you.

The game is suitable and entertaining for all ages so it's a handy one to have in a boring situation. The levels are also short, so you can put it away and carry on later if you have other things interrupting your play time.

In the few hours I sat playing the game it did crash on me 4 times which is not good, but hopefully an update will fix that soon.

Without a doubt, Silent Ops is a great game. If you're a fan of spy and secret agent games, you'll surely enjoy this title.

At $6.99 (currently) this game is real value and other developers should take note.

Qvoid is a simple game that packs quite a challenge. It's great for a two-minute distraction, or as a lengthy challenge.

Ant Raid is a good looking game, and the controls are clever too, but it's varying levels of difficulty and it's repetitive feel brings it down.

Ultimately it's about dispatching units as fast as you can and a mass of units pretty much always results in a win. I have to say that the AI is good and makes the battles fairly even and makes a win possible.

There is a vicious joy in challenging real people to a gun fight–even if it's only a game.

I am hoping that the next update does address the AI problems and opens the door for good old fashion fun, if they do so then this will be a great game and definitely one to get.

This is also the kind of game that you'll have a blast whipping out at parties and having your friends compete at.

Ticket to Ride by Days of Wonder, Inc. is a fantastically detailed adaptation of the board game, and is quite simply a joy to play.

The game is amazing. I am so happy I found this game.

Top Girl is pretty, but it's also incredibly vapid and light on content. While easy to play and entertaining at first, the overall portrayal of men and women in this game is mildly offensive at best, horribly sexist at worst.

The gameplay is well done with gradual teaching progression.

The time needed to master the game and the inherent randomness of the balls on the board makes the replay value of Flower Board well worth it.

At around 1,000 questions, this game won't keep you occupied forever, but for 99 cents through the holiday weekend, this is one app any trivia or game show lover shouldn't ignore.

Great graphics, simple controls, exciting multiplayer, and a diverse list of weapons make this game really fun to play. N.O.V.A. 2: Near Orbit Vanguard Alliance from Gameloft is on sale this 4th of July weekend for just 99 cents in the App Store.

It's a simply to understand, really hard-to-master style game app. The art is very retro, the controls are solid (so long as you stick to tilt), and the levels are challenging and fast to play. I found the music to actually be pretty good and the theme matches well.

I will admit that there is a fair amount of variety packed into this little game, so if the technical issues could be resolved, I'm sure that it would be at least decent if not stellar, but as it currently stands, A Girl in the City is less glamorous Manhattan and more spray-tanned Jersey Shore.

A great entry into the AppStore, Space Leap is a soothing, challenging, and distinguished game app with a great art design and even better level designs.

In terms of free apps available for Apple handheld devices Tiny Tower is near the top. The fact that it is free makes it essential to any gamer to download this application. The fact that it is a complete experience makes it essential for any gamer who's into resource management apps.

A rare treat. It couples the cult appeal of a fantastic film with a solid and entertaining game.

Sonic and SEGA All-Stars Racing is a cute, fun kart racer that's difficult enough for adults to enjoy, but innocent enough for kids to pick up play.
