Meganoid 2 turns up the heat and throws you in to a bare-bones series of white-knuckle platforming challenges; not for the easily annoyed.

If you've ever wanted to play a hungry shark, gobbling up everything with-in swimming distance, this is definitely your game. It's a lot of fun too!

Sleepwalker's Journey is rich in its beauty, and cunning in its challenges; you won't finish this puzzler in your sleep.

Beatdown! may not go down as the most complex of beat'em-ups, but if all you want is a straight up brawler then you can't go wrong with the streamlined action it contains.

It's a freemium coin toss game where you're battling enemy soldiers. It's certainly fun enough, till your coins run out.

Think Monster Dash with secret agents on top of a train, fighting zombies and robots, and you're pretty close.

Wraithborne will satisfy fans looking for a mobile hack and slash, but the lack of anything ground-breaking or satisfying in the combat does little to raise this title above its contemporaries.

A fun little 3D platformer with bite-sized levels, but the controls annoy more than accommodate.

Quotation forthcoming.

Accelerometer controls act with 'jerky' responses; thankfully alternate controls are available (if difficult to manipulate).

If you want to track your way through ruined warzones, shooting at everything that moves, and watching things blow up and go squish, iBomber Attack has got you covered.

A retro pixel RPG of old, complete with grind heavy mechanics and an undeniable charm.

Green Rage is has the potential to be a beautiful, if short experience, but is otherwise smothered by a control system that pairs poorly with the game as designed.

If you're looking for another endless runner, Monoloco is certainly one, but a rather uninspired one that never really delivers on its inventive premise.

The beauty is only skin deep in Need for Speed Most Wanted - sharp graphics and solid controls make it entertaining in short bursts, but those looking for a challenging ride and variety in their vehicles will be disappointed.

ARC Squadron is a solid shoot'em-up in the vein of greats like Star Fox, but streamlined to suit the platforms larger casual audience - don't fool yourself though as it still has plenty of bite in the later stages.

Nutty Fluffies is simply fun to play thanks to its strangely intuitive physics that make it easy to almost 'think' your way through its challenging stages.

Another block balancing game with some personality and a bunch of modes, but nothing to really set it apart from the other games in its genre.

Borderlands Legends may walk and talk like a tactical shooter, but it drowns out the tactical aspect with clunky controls, divorcing it from the action-packed FPS that gave it life.

N.Y.Zombies 2 is exactly what the series needed as it expands its ideas beyond the tiny rooms it used to inhabit and places them in a much larger, and far more terrifying real world.

A platformer that takes some of its inspiration from Sonic the Hedgehog, and has some novel ideas.

Taking turn based RPG combat away from fantasy and sci-fi, and playing things in a courtroom is enough of a spin to make Devil's Attorney worth a play (and the stylish character that the game is infused with doesn't hurt either).

If you're looking for a new spin on an old classic, Monopoly Millionaire doesn't completely reinvent the wheel here, but has a couple new additions to make things interesting, that should keep the enthusiasts more than happy.

A charming puzzle game based on the passions of different types of people, and the optimal seating arrangements for them.

He-Man falls short not only of other brawlers, but of the series itself as it chooses to stick to a limited system of combat that's propped up by decent level design.

Punch Quest isn't the 'hardcore' game people have been itching for on the iOS platform, but it's the perfect blend of action-brawling and casual 'endless' gameplay all mixed up with a larger-than-life style that's hard not to enjoy.

Zaxxon Escape may be a logical continuation of the classic Arcade title, but aside from its shiny spaceship based theme it brings little to the table you can't already get in free Temple Run style games.

Skyriders strips back the gameplay of a racer like F-Zero and manages to create an addictive time-trial title out of it.

Super Falling Fred takes the original falling title and polishes absolutely every aspect by packing in new power-ups, a bunch of unlockable characters and a challenge that scales to nightmarish levels, all at the low cost of 'free'.

Despite reducing Sonic to only jumping, Sonic Jump does almost a better job at feeling like the hedgehog in its hey-day than other iOS releases; if only it didn't bring along the same baggage of similar vertical jumpers too.

Carmageddon is the '97 classic given just enough of a tweaking to make it feel at home on the iOS platform - there are still some quirks left over from the original, but smashing your way through pedestrians and vehicles alike makes for a disturbingly fun distraction.

Fantasy Conflict doesn't re-write the genre, but as Galcon-a-likes go, it builds upon previous ideas developed by the studio to create a game packed with action (even if it does become rote in its execution at times).

True Skate walks a thin line between simulation and sandbox, producing a very realistic skating title, but falling short of providing players with decent objectives outside of 'mucking about'.

Polara could easily have fallen apart thanks to its mixed-bag approach to smashing together 'endless runner' concepts we've seen before, but instead it seamlessly stitches blends them together and turns it in to an engrossing challenge.

The name encapsulates the gameplay of this high score zen puzzler beautifully.

Funky Smugglers pulls double-duty as it not only places you in charge of dealing with contraband items, but it manages to smuggle in a boatload of refreshing ideas as well.

Controlling a mutant inside the body of a mad scientist with a Dolphin head has never been a more enjoyable gaming experience.

Crazy Taxi for the iOS platform is a solid step back from the console and yet another step back from the Arcade release of SEGA's classic time-trial 'racer', but even despite this the madcap insanity of its gameplay shines through making it hard not to be washed away in a torrent of nostalgia.

Kumo Lumo may be a gorgeous game with a unique premise, but the slow pacing and always looming 'shop' detract from the game's otherwise friendly, air of casualness.

Topia World Builder has a lot of potential to be a creative and immersive interactive world-builder, but for now it's more 'time wasting' than 'time enriching'.

Not everything is better the second time around.

Fun without too much substance. If you like chefs bouncing around rural Japan like loons, you'll get your money's worth from this title.

Lanterns is an elegant gaming distraction with a focus on zen-like simplicity; hopefully future updates puts more meat on its bones.

Bright, fun and definitely amusing - Burrito Bison brings Juicy Beast's gummy-bear-squishing classic to the iOS platform, but it misses a critical opportunity to flesh things out from the Flash-based original.

A Breakout style game with Pong style paddles all wrapped up in a machine-punk presentation.

Unlike so many other puzzlers aimed at younger audiences, Snail Bob goes to the painstaking effort of hand-crafting every stage, introducing oodles of new mechanics to explore and test out - while it's no huge challenge, it's the perfect fodder for growing minds.

If you like Tower Defense, and you like zombies, Dead Stop is a very competent entry in the genre.

Grow Away! suffers for its generally repetitive task of gunning down enemies, but the variety of enemies; boss fights; and 'companion' vegetables to explore and use make for a strangely addicting experience.

A fun puzzle game based around eating sausages to make your sausage dog long enough to walk on itself to rescue kidnapped puppies. Yup.

A fun little physics puzzle game bogged down by its free to play monetization trappings.

Disturbing, colorful, fun, cute, and did I say disturbing? Sugar Kid may look like your regular casual physics puzzler, but it's anything but as you try to keep the poor cube alive.

Like the first game, this is a great puzzle game wrapped up in a crazy assortment of visuals and audio, but there really isn't anything that makes this more super than its predecessor.

One of the more unique 'how far can you travel' high score games to hit the app store, wrapped in solid presentation and a great balance between shop prices and currency collection.

What could be an intense side scrolling shooter with an interesting lock on missile system is bogged down in tedium and mediocrity.

A decent enough management sim and movie tie-in, but there are much better examples of both out there.

The Last Express may still be burdened by the click-through navigation that defined much of the genre in the past, but the marriage of gameplay and storyline remains pitch-perfect in this iOS adaption.

MechWarrior: Tactical Command is riddled with poorly implemented features that hint at a much greater tactical experience, but instead make a rich combat-focused universe feel like a slap-fest.

Bad Piggies doesn't just feel like the next logical step forward for a developer like Rovio, but the next step forward for the physics-puzzler genre itself as players engineer their own solutions and use them to succeed, no matter how whacky they may seem.

If you enjoy jump rope and dodgeball with a lot of customization and special moves, Recess Riot should give you some entertainment.

Like a fevered nightmare trip through the covers of 70s prog-rock bands and classic pulp-fiction, God of Blades is a beautifully presented and other-worldly experience, but is likewise just as short-lived as you expend its limited content and variety of combat.

Amazing Runner starts off as a beautiful Temple Run clone, but fails to follow through with a truly unique experience.

FIFA 13 continues the tradition of 'fixing' previous iterations by only a small degree, thankfully the sum-weight of these changes turns out to be quite a lot, making it a worthy pick up for fans of Football games.

Demons' Soul is a pricey way to enjoy the music of some of Square Enix' top composers, but if you can stand the forced repetition you'll get to enjoy a competent rhythm-game and the rather amusing storyline attached to it.

A fun diversion, which is what a holiday should be, but seeing that the destination is space, you would expect something a little more engaging.

A true time waster in the sense that the minutes will whisk away as you plow through level after level of bouncing aliens around collecting lightning orbs. A decent play, but nothing memorable.

Earn to Die is a solid adaption of the Flash game, bringing all new stages, vehicles, upgrades and obstacles to overcome while also packaging in a fun competitive mode to keep you coming back for more.

A puzzle game that could be likened to The Lost Vikings in its mechanics, but suffers from interface and conceptual difficulties.

Reminiscent of games like Labyrinth and Tilt to Live, this snowball controlled arcade title should provide its players with some cheap thrills.

In a market dominated by might-makes-right mentalities, guns, blood and violence, Lili makes for a refreshing change that's not as passive as it sounds; as fun to play as it is beautiful to look at - a definite treat if you can happen to play it.

It's Temple Run on rails. Ride your mine cart, dodging obstacles while leaning out to collect that precious gold that's hanging in mid-air.

Rayman Jungle Run sidesteps the need to have a 'Rayman Origins' on the iOS platform by retaining the same focused gameplay through simplified controls and devious level design.

Gibbets 2 cashes in on its Internet fame, but doesn't quite make a smooth transition to the App Store thanks to simplified visuals and a control system not on par with the original.

A cute animal and a cute premise meant to entice the younger players, and while the gameplay is not too taxing, it's not entirely enjoyable either, mostly due to the pacing.

The Infinite Warrior may live forever, making his task one of time and not strategy, but the game lacks a sense of connection to what's happening, making it a dull and repetitive chore to play.

An interesting enough idea, but bad controls make the player want to say goodbye instead of hi to this octopi.

Night Flight has a bit of a dark tone for a game about a teddy bear flying in a toy plane to escape the factory he's found himself in. Aviation fun if you can handle the controls.

It's Arkanoid with Monkeys. 'Nuff said.

Not an endless runner, but an endless tunneler, that has visual appeal plus addictive gameplay coupled with fair prices for upgrades.

Blast-A-Way invokes the friendly atmosphere of Little Big Planet, but puts you behind the wheel of three explosive maniacs set on solving their problems with brute force - all for the children you have to understand.

A fun management strategy title about setting up a town to mine for gold in the harsh untamed lands of the west. It takes a little while to get going but is highly addictive when it does.

A strategy game where you need to ferry colorful characters to different floors of a hotel before they get impatient and mad. The gameplay is a little too slow to reward any but the most dedicated players.

Elegant in its execution, Splice : Tree of Life mixes visual, aural and tactile elements to create a puzzler that feels organic to its core - a real gem for fans of puzzle titles.

The iOS platform has been aching for a solid beat'em-up and Wild Blood fills the niche perfectly, if with something that feels a bit flat in its execution; at least it's a nice change to beat up on demons instead of zombies or 'gods'.

Avengers Initiative may take its cues directly from Infinity Blade, but if this is just the beginning we can expect a lot of fun times ahead.

For zero investment you net yourself a title that strips out the story, random-luck and complexity of raising monsters from Pokemon, leaving a battle-focused title in its place; Little Masters is fun, but otherwise dry in its execution.

A little bit Pokemon, a little Final Fantasy, Dragon Island Blue has the makings of an engaging game, but its presentation and pace weigh it down.

A dystopian Mad Max-esque race for survival with zombies and dinosaurs. Short game time, a lot of upgrades, and average control weigh this release down.

A simple yet addictive game idea with good presentation can go a long way towards greatness, and Super Hexagon definitely fits this description.

A cute and simple platformer with great art, that's a lot of fun.

Like Professor Layton, this is a game with a plot loosely based around solving puzzles. While having a charm of its own, it's missing the sense of adventure and exploration of its inspiration.

Classic Bust a Move gameplay turned on its side, with special recipes to complete, and other witches to collect along the way.
