Joe Danger Touch is perhaps the best recent example of how a great game on a different platform can work just as well on the App Store - rock solid controls and minor tweaks to the core stunt-based gameplay keep the game just as manic, while feeling entirely unique to iOS devices.

A Grand Theft Auto clone with awful driving controls. That sentence doesn't exactly inspire confidence.

A new coat of paint on an old game mechanic that does a lot to make Magic Orbz a lot of fun to play.

An enjoyable enough bouncing platformer focused on collection, that could use some more polish, and more variation in its design.

If you enjoy the Raiden games or shoot em ups in general, this is a solid investment as you get four games with multiple modes for your purchase.

Luna Bears is a very solid platformer that may have a cutesy aesthetic and premise, but is both surprisingly tough and rewarding.

Hundreds is a wolf in sheep's clothing and while the outside is all clean and simple, the real meat of the game will leave you a shell of the gamer you were; a fun and frustrating experience.

A decent premise with solid presentation, but some control issues need to be ironed out.

Flee the dreaded Crab Nebula by sneezing your way in and out of orbit. It's interesting to be sure.

Mutant Mudds is a slower paced platformer that makes good use of shifting perspective, but doesn't really go that extra mile to make good use of it.

A beat-em-up that relies on pulling you along through weapon upgrades and leveling despite the lackluster combat.

Another physics puzzle game yes, but this one has some clever design and charm to help it stand out.

Instead of shooting soldiers with guns, why not take to the battlefields of your neighbourhood and engage in some good ol' fashioned snowball warfare?

It's bunny Pachinko. That alone is worth a look.

It's hard to get endless games right, but Ronin makes things even harder for itself with inconsistent enemies that break the flow of its otherwise smooth controls.

An arcade game that is very satisfying to play thanks to its colors and crunchy sound effects.

Shadowlands has great potential that's crushed beneath obfuscated mechanics, odd interface design, and a slew of bugs that should have been removed before its release; no doubt updates will smooth things out, but until then the game remains a beautiful disappointment.

For some, the 75 levels packed in to Pudding Monsters won't be enough, but more levels are sure to come, especially once more people get wind of this wonderfully cute and addictive puzzler.

Anomaly Warzone Earth was a brilliant miniaturization of an already incredible title, and while the 'sequel' is no less polished, it's more interested in the status quo than pushing boundaries.

Nothing can truly replace sitting around a table or in a circle on the floor with friends as you play a board game, but 'Penny Arcade The Game: Gamers vs. Evil' makes it easier to enjoy the game without the mess, and that's almost worth the entry fee alone.

METAL SLUG deserves far better than a half-baked port of the classic shoot'em-up platformer - without better consideration to the controls and what the player can (and can't) see, you'd be better off taking a trip to the local arcade instead.

We've quite literally seen all of this before, which is a shame as adding the 'Monsters, Inc.' franchise in to the Mega Run mix could have been a recipe for some fresh ideas.

Zombies. doesn't have much new to add to the zombie-smashing-twin-stick-shooter variety of arcade games, but its battles have a genuinely brutal feel to them (and failing that, an over-the-top zaniness) that's hard to dislike... an infectiously amusing romp.

Fluxx turns traditional card-based board games on its head by refusing to state more than the basic rules - how the game turns out is entirely up to the luck of the draw, and that's half the appeal.

Middle Manager of Justice is how freemium should be - despite its repetitious nature, there's always something new to occupy your attention and you're never punished for wanting to explore all of these options; IAP feels like it actually enhances the game, instead of merely replacing gameplay elements that should already be there.

For those without easy access to a 3DS copy of Theatrhythm, the iOS version makes for a decent, if less featured replacement; in the least you can 'pay what you like' by sticking to songs you enjoy, so it's a treat for anyone who has enjoyed one or more Final Fantasy titles.

Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition knows who it's aiming for and hits the mark almost perfectly, but as a result, gamers yet to enjoy the deep complexity of such an RPG may be quickly overwhelmed and even put off by its clunky design.

While there's still not a lot of depth to this twin-stick shooter, Minigore 2: Zombies packs the perfect combination of fast-paced and varied action with a cartoonish presentation that's easy on the eyes.
