    Fans of challenging platformers will enjoy ramping up FastBall 2 to the hardest level, but the patience of even the most saintly of individuals will be tested once you're facing the 10th death in a row for hitting 'nothing'.

    Whether you're shredding it up performing backflips, switching gravity and dodging blades or simply trying to scrape by while keeping your face in-tact, iStunt 2 scales things up quickly, providing a satisfying challenge for those willing to tackle it.

    If you like funky jazzy tunes and fun, simple gameplay, you'd do worse than spending some time with Pizarro's classic arcade gameplay.

    The Blocks Cometh has finally arrived in all of its true glory and instead of simply aping the free Flash version that spawned it, Halfbot have added some fun challenges thanks to their unlockable characters.

    A great title that offers a wide range of levels and lots game content to keep you entertained for a long time.

    'Retro' gets thrown around all too easily and while KAMI RETRO features gaudy 'pixelated' visuals its the fun modern gameplay that makes this worth checking out.

    If you pine for the days of classic Arcades and their endless slew of quarter-ingesting titles, you might just want to grab 64th Street - A Detective Story to bulk up your collection of titles.

    While Tetris and Defense style titles are common enough, a combination of the two makes Pig Rockets fun enough to keep you coming back despite the repetitive gameplay.

    The 7th Guest is almost exclusively destined for iOS devices of fans of the original release and while the challenge is certainly worthy of modern audiences, the way in which the narrative is presented is not.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Space Bunnies is a cute, simple, casual pinball-like tilt title that's great for younger audiences, but a little lacking for those after more of a challenge.

    A fun, refreshingly easy to enjoy puzzler for all ages.

    If you fancy yourself a deft hand at angling shots you'll find Trigonon to be a snap, but for us mere mortals it's simply a challenging, if beautiful puzzler to eat up your spare time.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    You won't need to stretch your mind too far to overcome the challenges in Super Ball Escape, but the combination of finely-balancing yourself on thin platforms, avoiding enemies and solving basic puzzles does a good job of filling this gap.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    For some, the changes to Double Dragon might be enough to consider it anathema, but the updated gameplay, graphics and unlockable features adds a depth not available in the original while still remaining faithful to its roots.

    If you played the original Mappy then you'll know what you're in for - an additional mode has been added, but nothing compares to smacking a cat on the nose with a door while 'reclaiming' their stolen goods.

    Collision Effect isn't just a pretty face as it also boasts entertaining arcade and puzzle gameplay that remain distinct despite their shared basic elements.

    Where similar titles have opted for a high difficulty curve, Monorace opts to make things easier to jump in to while still having enough of a challenge to keep you interested.

    While Shadow Runner may not be for everyone, it incorporates some incredibly basic gameplay with a neat challenging twist to keep players thinking on their toes.

    Speed Forge Extreme is a solid entry into the future racer genre, adding an aresenal of weapons into the mix.

    Sappy story aside, 'Floe - a little bear needs your help' will pull your heartstrings while dumping you in to a puzzle challenge that will tax your logical skills.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    BIG BAD Flower stops short of letting itself bloom as a fun arcade-action title and manages to get bogged down by prickly repetitive mechanics.

    Uber Racer 3D - Sandstorm isn't as fully featured as some larger titles, but for those after a solid racer that provides a great challenge and well designed courses without the 'realism', this is for you.

    6th Planet merges a great storyline with simple gameplay to create a relaxing and enjoyable gaming experience.

    GEON is an interesting mix of gameplay elements that doesn't quite fuse perfectly, but for a quick game on the go it proves to be a challenging experience.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Brings back an interesting and competitive style of espionage and counter-espionage tactics that's best played with friends instead of the game's AI.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    If you don't mind the banner at the top of the screen, NinJump is a decent vertical climber with a few interesting twists and when it's for free it's hard to really complain.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A great, basic shoot'em-up that will appeal to classic arcade fans after a bite of nostalgia, but it won't get much of a spin after it's all over.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    If you're after a game that tries to mix fast-paced action with some strategy elements then 2012 Zombies vs Aliens is a trench warfare game that might just push you over the edge; for good or for bad.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Another junk-food title that's addictive to play while you still have new content, but it's unlikely to remain satisfying for long after you're done. This isn't such a bad thing at all as you certainly have fun while playing it, but if you're after more than a brief distraction this might not be for you.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    A different approach to the Sim-Management style of gameplay that made Game Dev Story so popular, but it's no less addictive and players should prepare themselves for some social black-outs.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Manages to show a lot of complexity in its gameplay thanks to the inclusion of multi-touch controls and you might just have some fun while herding cows as well.

    Joe's life in The Flood: Salvation depends on your ability to solve complex puzzles; that may be bad news for Joe, but at least you'll have fun trying.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Provides a solid grounding for what could be an insanely addictive tactical turn-based title, but bugs and the lack of story missions are holding it back for now.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Had a chance to feature a true pocket-sized version of its console releases, but the iOS release lacks a lot of depth and fighting can feel more like a random brawl than a calculated fist-fight.
    • 43 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The Saboteur is another decent port of a larger franchise to the App Store and only suffers minor gameplay issues that keep it from being truly great.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    It can take some adjustment to get used to controlling the environment and not the main character, but this part-platform puzzler, part-rhythm game is a unique experience that'll keep you glued to your iPhone.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    ROCK BAND Reloaded is a solid rhythm game title with the usual variety of instruments, but while singing is a great addition it doesn't make up for the rest of the game's encore performance.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A simple, yet fun Rampage clone that's guaranteed to brighten your day.
    • 49 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    For those that remember Rise of the Triad, this could be worth a purchase. For everyone else, the presentation, controls, and gameplay might be a turn-off.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Riddim Ribbon is an interesting idea, but not fully realised. The controls need some tweaking or a sensitivity option, and the track list is quite small and unvaried. With the pedegree Tapulous has, hopefully this game will reach its full potential in future updates.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    Where games like Let's Golf 2 revel in the basic fun of golf, Real Golf 2011 steps things up by adding a dash more realism in to the mix along with a few professional stars to round things out.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    With the lack of decent 3D platformers on the iphone, it's good to see Rayman being ported over. If only the controls were better.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Revivals of great classic titles deserve nothing less than a polished update and Speedball 2 Evolution delivers almost perfectly - just remember to take some time out to get comfortable with controls first.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Food Processing jumps on the food-slicing bandwagon, though in this case it's more of a conveyor-belt an its unique take on the gameplay will quickly have you finger-tied.

    Spires falls flat despite some decent ideas and a polished presentation, but keep an eye out for updates that may make this a worthwhile grab.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    No-one is asking for yet another Doodle Jump, but poor concepts like floaty jumping and a lack of variety were prototyped out a long time ago; Wharr: The Colossus Age seemingly ignores these points and as a result it feels dated and out of touch.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    If you want a racer that's just about speed and destruction, Raging Thunder 2 has you covered.
    • 91 Metascore

    Ragdoll Blaster 2 is what you expect in a sequel; keeping what made the original game fun, and then adding a bunch of new ideas on top of it.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score

    Platform fans looking to put their speedy reactions to the test will find Qwak to be an excellent challenge, while casual gamers will love the fun, bright and simple gameplay that's straight from the hey-day of platforming.

    Quell is a beautifully relaxing puzzle title to delve in to and even when things get rough it's easy to get lost in the moment and just play for the sake of chilling out.

    Puzzle Quest 2 doesn't build upon its predecessor so much as it distills the addictive elements from the first and adds deeper character based gameplay in to the mix.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Puzzle Cosmos is a fun new idea that fans of arcade puzzlers can enjoy, but it feels too random to really appreciate.

    Princess Fury doesn't leave much for the imagination as she's exactly what the title suggests: dainty, pretty, angry and deadly... you'll be thankful that you don't have to fight against her.

    A game with this kind of scope is a rare beast for the App Store, but Prince of Persia: Warrior Within has taken a bit of a beating to fit on there and action-fans may be disappointed at the result.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The classic Prince of Persia has seen adaptions across many platforms, but this entry for the App Store could have been friendlier to newcomers.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Fans of the story shouldn't need much nudging to try out this action-packed brawler as the opportunity to kick some zombie derriere as Elizabeth shouldn't be missed.

    Fans of the Predators mythos might be a bit put off by some of the gameplay, but for most action fans PREDATORS is an intense and absorbing title well worth picking up.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Has its charms, but the visuals border on going overboard (which is in itself fairly impressive considering the genre), making your continued survival a combination of luck and twitchy skills.

    Guns'n'Glory will give tower defense fans a nice change-up with its moveable towers and limited resources, but as with most TD's it still suffers from the same repetitive gameplay.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A brilliant mix of action and real time strategy elements used to create a seriously absorbing battle system, but once you've unlocked most major upgrades things tend to get repetitive.

    Captain Puzzle shows that you don't have to be bigger and better to compete with a major title, but its unique puzzle style isn't as polished as it could be.
