CSR Racing is more than worth a look if you're looking for a racing game that doesn't require you to set aside five minutes to get the most out of it.

It may not be the most original game on the market, but Blood & Glory is plenty of fun, and takes a huge step forward in defying our pre-conceived notions about what freemium gaming can be.

There’s so much I enjoy about Oxenfree’s weird story, but to spoil it would be to ruin half the fun. Suffice it to say that if you like adventure games at all, you need to play Oxenfree. There are a few bumps along the way, but it’s absolutely a journey worth taking.

It’s slickly packaged, you know exactly what you’re getting, and it hits the spot even if it doesn’t challenge your gaming palette in any way.

Sketch Nation Studio might not be able to conjure up professional-grade games, but it still offers an appealing set of tools for the beginning creator.

Speaking as someone who’s been getting rather tired of sliding box puzzles, I think Warp Shift is genuinely refreshing. The way it requires you to think differently about space, the various extra puzzle elements that come into play and integrate with each other, and especially those cute little cube key things; it all makes Warp Shift a worthwhile brain teaser.

A great casual game on the iPhone. It's easy to learn and fun to play, not to mention the fact that it's genuinely adorable. Fans of casual puzzle games will love it, as will just about anybody else.

A fun, fast-paced, challenging title. Anyone with a penchant for Stanley Cup viewing should definitely check it out. Even if you're not a sports fan, Icebreaker Hockey is worth a look for the different take on sports game it delivers.

If any match-three puzzle / battle game is worth a simple one-time fee of five bucks or so, Gems of War is it.

Saving Yello doesn't really do anything new or exciting as a physics puzzler. That said, what it does, it does very well. It's charming and fun and challenging and it looks absolutely magnificent.

The absence of words or instructions of any kind make this more suitable for children who aren’t reading yet, as they’ll still be exposed to concepts like matching shapes and sizes while getting in some fine motor skill practice at the same time.

Fibble may not be for everyone due to the low challenge level early on, but it's still pretty solid. Definitely the type of game you can feel good about giving to someone-- a non-gaming young child, significant other, parent/grandparent, what have you-- and that they may have a pretty good time with.

With a tiny price tag and a neon glow practically built for parties, you'd be silly not to have Centrifeud sitting on the table when friends - or enemies - come knocking.

A game that young children will enjoy. Zooming in on your pet can giving it a nice rub under the chin and hearing it purr is just a heart-warming activity, even for my black, cynical soul. There's plenty of content on offer here, and while some of it is repetitive and there are some accuracy issues with some of the motions, this is the perfect game for young children and for anyone that needs some more cuteness in their lives.

There are different difficult settings to explore, special levels and an endless mode, and you’re going to enjoy all of them.

While you’ll leave the game smiling, you’ll also be thinking about ways it could have been even better.

If you enjoy board games, you should definitely try Thirty Days & Seven Seas. If you like strategy games you should probably give it a look too. And if you like the show, well, I have no idea if you’ll like it, but you should probably check it out anyway since it’s pretty darn good all-around.

BMO Snaps taps well into that ‘simple to learn, trickier to master’ trend that works so well for games like this. It really is so simple to start out with, but like any good photo shoot, perfection is tricky to capture.

Tic Tactics is a simple thing, but it's really quite good, too: fast, free, easy to play, and deceptively challenging. It's a smart twist on an old classic, and it works.

It's a well produced narrative filled with interesting dialogue options that really makes you feel like you're investigating.

Sword of Inferno won’t win any awards for its story. It looks great in stills but not so great in motion. However, despite a somewhat irksome stamina system and a severe need to hand out gems a bit more often it can be incredibly fun.

Feast or Famine limps along at times, but as a whole, it deserves a spot near the top of the endless runner food chain. Grab it, hunt down a Big Mac, and play.

For the most part, Cannibal Bunnies is delightful. As the game progresses, things stay challenging and fast-paced enough to keep the players entertained. It's strange and weird and adorably twisted, and there's no way fans of puzzle games like Lemmings won't enjoy it to death.

Players looking for a casual game to pick up and play throughout the week should look elsewhere for their bite-sized gaming addiction. But for players looking for a top-quality roguelike game experience for their iPad or Android tablet, Desktop Dungeons is just that.
