    Cut the Rope: Experiments
    Cut the Rope: Experiments is not so much as sequel as it is a separate expansion to the game's world - this gives ZeptoLab some room to breathe and experiment with new ideas (as you'd expect from the title), giving it some great potential, but for now it's a fun addition to a game you probably already enjoy.

    Shift 2 Unleashed
    Originally SHIFT would tempt players to drive like a devil or an angel as you danced around the track - SHIFT 2 rewards lumbering, brutish tactics and despite the wild speeds you can't help but feel the weight of such blunt tactics dragging the game down.

    Dice Soccer

    Jack of All Tribes Deluxe
    Jack of All Tribes mixes RTS elements of multitasking with casual gaming elements of manually performing tasks to come up with something quick and engaging without the need to wait for 8 hours between turns.

    Silent Ops
    Taken for what it is, Silent Ops is a competent, if somewhat lacking action title, but it won't fulfill your cravings for espionage and intrigue.

    Groove Coaster
    While it's not the first time we've seen this blending of visual style and rhythm-based gameplay, Groove Coaster is none-the-less a unique experience that constantly rewards players for delving in again and again.

    Time Geeks: Cloneggs

    Shake Spears!
    Jousting isn't exactly the most well-used concept for a game and Shake Spears! manages to balance strategy with basic bludgeoning fun in a way that's hard to put down.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Xtreme Wheels
    Xtreme Wheels takes a formula that has already proven itself in the past and does little more than repackage it, albeit in a shiny 3D engine; if you enjoy games like Trials HD there's little reason to complain, but it'd be nice to see more innovation.

    One Man Army
    One Man Army plays around with the TD concept by turning the player in to a sort of 'ultimate' tower - unfortunately there's no difficulty levels to choose from and things only get tougher the further you progress.

    Blobster is a well made platformer, just not one that will likely interest teenagers or adults.

    Captain America: Sentinel of Liberty
    While not as tight as Mirror's Edge for iOS devices, Captain America: Sentinel of Liberty is still a fun side-scrolling free-running title that pairs up action and platforming with an intuitive control system that's perfect for touch devices.

    Space Inversion 2.
    If you've been dying for a retro-arcade kick, but you don't want to wind back the clock the entire way, Space Inversion 2 will fill the void between old and new-school gaming.

    CurveBot
    Curvebot is a well made game. It's a unique idea with good controls, great presentation, and a lot of content. Where it might lose people is the slower game pace.

    Qvoid
    With nothing more than a cube, some colored squares and a 3D world, Qvoid presents players with a charmingly simple, yet dastardly puzzle challenge that sinks its teeth in to you from the outset.

    VineKing
    The mixture of gameplay and touch gestures keeps a player constantly on their toes, while the upgrade and three star system gives the player something to strive for, all while the game increases the difficulty level by level at a steady pace.

    EDGEBobby2
    There's some good ideas hidden underneath a lot of problems here. With some polish this could be a decent puzzle game, but as it stands now it's best to give this one a miss.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Bean's Quest
    While not specifically old-school, Bean's Quest combines simple, effective controls with clever level designs to make a solid, if brief, platformer.

    Z The Game
    Z The Game isn't just limited to classic gamers and RTS fans; while there is a steep difficulty curve to climb, the simplified RTS features are easy to learn and adapt to.

    Async Corp.
    Fans of matching puzzle games should give Async Corp a try. While not treading new ground, it accomplishes good gameplay with flair.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Torture Bunny
    Torture Bunny is a solid, if somewhat disturbing game. Our biggest complaint is that the ragdoll physics are unpredictable, and even the greatest trap setup can be ruined as the rabbit decides to fall in another direction.
    • 77 Metascore

    QuBIT
    QuBIT is a simple idea executed almost to perfection; trying to obtain ever-increasing combos creates a natural skill-cap that brings you back for more.

    Zzed: match 3 cosmic shooter
    It plays well, looks and sounds good, and has enough levels with high score and combo leaderboards to keep fans of the game interested.

    Reckless Getaway

    Guardians: The Last Day of the Citadel
    Despite its spiffy looking style, Guardians: The Last Day of the Citadel fails to excite with its poor controls and wooden combat.
    • 68 Metascore

    Burn The City
    Burn the City stretches its premise a bit thin, but at the low price, fans of this genre may want to give it a look.

    9mm
    If you like movies like Street Kings or spent time with TV shows like The Shield, you'll have an inkling of what to expect with 9mm's story; while it's storyline may not be quite as intense, the action helps to see you through to the end.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Kard Combat
    Kard Combat has its strong points, in particular its approachability for those who are usually put off by the fine-details in collectible card games, but combat can feel dry when your options are limited by default.
    • 70 Metascore

    Color Bandits
    A great introduction into the world of the shoot em up, but fans of this genre might find the game too easy.

    • 60 Critic Score
    The Greedy Sponge
    The Greedy Sponge starts out as a surprisingly unique puzzle matching experience, erring more on the side of 'puzzle' than 'matching', but once you have a grip on the gameplay its lack of variety makes it hard to come back for more.

    Magnetic Baby
    Magnetic Baby may look and feel great, but letting go and gliding your way through space in order to collect stars and rescue the damsel in distress can have too many unexpected results.

    Transformers: Dark of the Moon
    Transformers: Dark of the Moon is exactly what you'd expect it to be - a shallow excuse to shoot bad-guys in the face with your space-robot.

    Ascension: Chronicle of the Godslayer
    If you enjoy CCGs or you already own Ascension, this is an easy title to recommend, but if you're looking for something with a bit more meat it's worth waiting to see where the developer takes this App in the future.

    Green Lantern: Rise of the Manhunters
    Rise of the Manhunters should be praised for at least trying something out of the ordinary for a movie tie-in, but despite its detailed appearance the game is short on actual gameplay and content.

    Continuity 2: The Continuation
    For some the 'sliding puzzle' is considered a lazy way to bulk up a game, however Continuity 2 makes it an intriguing and challenging addition by allowing players to manipulate the world they're in; a easy to recommend game for all puzzle fans.

    FishMoto
    FishMoto doesn't hold back when it comes to challenging players to mastering complex sequences in order to complete its levels; for some this might provide the solid distraction they're after, but for others it represents a wall too high to climb.

    Tiny Tower

    Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing

    D.A.R.K
    While you could stick with another basic twin-stick shooter, D.A.R.K at least attempts to go a step further by featuring a story and cinematics to set the mood; it's not a lot, but it's better than shooting things at random.

    1-bit Ninja

    Skipping Stone

    Drop The Chicken
    Although there are an increasing number of physics puzzlers on the App Store, Drop The Chicken focuses on being a puzzler first and a physics toy second; this makes for interesting solutions that reward players for thinking 'outside the box'.

    Monster Soup
    Monster Soup is yet another great spin on concepts we've come to know (and even love); while it lacks alternative modes, the basic gameplay is more than worth diving in to again and again.

    ZOOKEEPER DX
