    Cocoto Magic Circus
    This game is the definition of good, stupid fun, and I mean that in the best way possible.

    Chaos Rings
    The best thing that I can say about Chaos Rings is that, unlike other ports of RPGs that have been brought to the iPhone, (like the original Final Fantasy remakes or Korean cell phone games like Zenonia and Across Age) this is a game that was made for the platform, and it shows.

    Bloons TD 4
    I was amused by Bloons TD 4 at first, but after a while the game's nagging balancing issues became more and more apparent.

    Bit.Trip Beat
    I love that owners of both the iPad and iPhone version can play together regardless of which device they're using, and I think that the game's mix of old and new will make this a game that plenty of people will be able to get into.

    Baseball Superstars 2011 Pro
    I'll be honest -- this is not a game for people looking for a lightweight, pick-up-and-play baseball game. Despite its cutesy appearance, Superstars is about as hardcore of a simulation game as you can get.

    Sword & Poker 2(WW)
    Even if you don't consider yourself to be a big poker fanatic, you should give this game a shot; the RPG elements will suck you in and change your opinion of what a card game can be.

    FarmVille by Zynga
    The game runs a bit sluggishly as of right now, so unless you're a FarmVille addict who absolutely has to have access to your farm all the time, this app isn't going to satisfy you until it gets a second pass under the debug machine at Zynga.

    Monster Mayhem
    The ability to upgrade weapons is what hooked me in the end, so despite the fact that the game has some slight framerate issues (which I hope to see fixed in an update), I'll be revisiting this one soon.

    Monster Dash
    Monster Dash is easily one of the best iPhone games released this year, and if Halfbrick is as generous with updates to it as it has been with Fruit Ninja, this game can only keep getting better.

    DC Universe Online
    I realize that what I liked most where the DC characters and comic book cut scenes at the end of missions. But $15 a month is a lot to pay for only one or two of those -- and if the developer tried to make five or more for content updates every month, I don't know how the company could keep up the pace.

    DC Universe Online
    This isn't the sort of MMO that asks you to park for hours on end several nights in a row. It's more of a co-operative or competitive multiplayer action game, perfect for short intense visits. And because your character doesn't sport rows of tiny icons for a thousand different skills, DC Universe is also perfect for less frequent visits.

    Flying Hamster
    This charming shooter packs an endearing visual style and a solid control scheme, but some glaring flaws make it hard to recommend over the App Store's other great action titles.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Dungeon Raid
    The game is just a straight arcade experience, but it also has enough depth to warrant returning to numerous times.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Age of Zombies
    Age of Zombies doesn't play that differently from any other shooter on the App Store, but it has enough personality to easily warrant my recommendation.

    Hand of Greed - Dodge the Blade!
    By the last level of the first world the game had become absolutely brutal. Don't get me wrong -- I think it's an excellent game that's perfect for the platform, but I wound up more stressed than anything else while playing those more difficult levels.

    Omium - 2 Player Shooter
    The biggest problem with Omium is that there really isn't any way for the player controlling the ship to win; he can just survive until the player controlling the baddies manages to finally take him down with a lucky toss.

    Cave Bowling
    This is a well-made physics puzzler that only costs $.99. This rock-bottom price and the sheer fun that you'll derive from knocking down pins makes this absolutely worth it.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Graveyard Shift
    The game works on both the iPhone and iPad, but I found myself accidentally touching the wrong block on more than one occasion on my iPod Touch, so the iPad has a bony leg up over its small-screen compadre.

    Slice It!
    I hated geometry in high school, but Slice It manages to be fun in a similar way to the heady puzzlers found in Brain Age for the DS.

    Solomon's Boneyard
    Although Solomon's Boneyard does all the things that gamers have come to expect from an iDevice dual stick shooter, it never really sets itself apart from the wealth of similar App Store entries.

    Beyond Ynth
    I'd like to see new control options in an update, but otherwise this is a great platformer.

    Axe in Face
    I was pretty sure that I would get bored with Axe in Face after a level or two, but the introduction of special abilities like the lightning bolt and unique enemies that must be attacked in different ways added variety to the game and kept me hooked for several consecutive hours.

    Astronut
    Astronut's developers clearly understand how to design for a touch-screen device. All the menus are well-organized and easy on the eyes, as is the actual in-game art. I particularly liked the collection mechanic.

    Rat on a Skateboard
    It's one of those games that I shouldn't play on the toilet, because I wind up squatting on the throne for far longer than necessary. Yes, Donut Games, that is a compliment.

    Perfect Cell
    Despite some frustrating control quirks, this innovative touch-based action/puzzle/stealth title makes a solid addition to any gamer's iDevice.

    Castlevania Puzzle: Encore of the Night
    It's incredible how much this feels like an actual Castlevania game. Everything from the weapon/armor customization and spells to the 32-bit art style makes this essentially a complete Castlevania game that just happens to have have a surprisingly fun puzzle-based battle system.

    • 90 Critic Score
    Plunderland
    An art style similar to the one found in ngmoco's Rolando gives Plunderland an aesthetically pleasing visual style, and a dynamic physics system makes ship battles on stormy seas a ton of fun.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Breach
    That's pretty much Breach's biggest issue: Even if it's a cheaper XBLA alternative, everything it does has been done better elsewhere. If it had contributed something new to the FPS landscape, I'd forgive its attempt at imitation, but most folks interested in it already have immediate access to great games such as Halo, Black Ops and Battlefield.

    Infinity Blade
    Infinity Blade is a turning point for iOS gaming. Epic has proven that Apple's popular mobile devices are capable of much more than what we've previously seen, and since they're now licensing their engine out for other developers to use, we're going to start seeing a lot of other games with with Infinity Blade's level of polish.

    ChuChu Rocket!
    ChuChu Rocket! is a totally solid puzzle game, and it really does shine in multiplayer (especially if you can get four people gathered around an iPad for some same-device multiplayer). The game feels like it was always meant for a touch screen device, so I just hope that Sega can push out an update so everyone can enjoy this zany game for what it's meant to be.
