Middling dramatic choices aside, Children of Arkham was a great continuation of a really enjoyable and legitimately interesting Batman story. One that even manages to make the played-out tragedy of Thomas and Martha Wayne’s murder intriguing. The mobile release is still the weaker version when compare to consoles/PC, but if it’s your only option I’d wholeheartedly recommend it.

The game is polished, and the empty look and design of Munch is disturbingly adorable; even more so when he latches onto flowers. Munch Time is a solid physics-based puzzle game that's worth a look.

I was never much of a fan of color-matching battle games. While many people are, they’ve always been too simple in nature to retain my attention for long. But Battle Odyssey, with its sheer variety of ways to clear the board, not to mention the amount of characters to collect, I found myself hooked to my iPad, doing my best to carry my team through their adventure.

Those looking for a walk down memory lane will love what’s on offer here. It’s a simple game in the purest sense, easily allowing you to dip in or out, and even juggle a sandwich alongside it thanks to its well designed one handed controls.

If you’re looking for a simple strategy game that’s funny, frenzied, and dripping with style, you’d have a hard time doing better than Star Command. And besides – if you won’t travel the stars to introduce humanity to a surprisingly hostile galaxy, who will?

If you’re looking for a game that can suck away thousands of hours of your life, Monster Hunter Freedom Unite should fit the bill nicely.

Pixel Pro Golf is a wonderfully shrunk down mobile golf game. It’s got a few problems, but for the most part you’re going to play with a smile on your face. And the progression is smart enough that pushing on through one last course is going to become a habit.

If you fancy yourself a dab hand at amateur surgery, or you just like the idea of using a lighter to attach a healthy lung in the space you just cut a diseased one out of with a chainsaw, then this is exactly the sort of game you should be looking at getting.

Dominion is still a good game whether or not you decide to get any of the extras. In fact, I highly recommend doing so if you like board games, card games, or deck builders. Just know that you’ll be paying through the nose if you ever decide to expand your set.

Looney Tunes Dash! successfully utilizes the franchise’s iconic characters in exciting ways which keep the gameplay lighthearted and fun.

Slowly building on the previously successful format, it throws in some much needed additions to ensure that this doesn’t feel like a reskinned version of a game you’ve already played. It’ll be interesting to see what new innovations are added to the genre in the coming months. This could be a very positive early sign of a genre keen to not stagnate.

Star Wars Rebels: Recon Mission does a lot of things right: it features a fair and flexible IAP system, it respects the Star Wars source material, and it offers an easy-to-play control scheme for a platformer on a touchscreen device.

Surprisingly enjoyable, if not especially memorable.

Paperama is a pleasing alternative to the more uptight and action-packed options on the App Store, and while it’s a little slow and feature-deficient since all you’re really doing is folding paper to meet level goals, it’s an intriguing departure that’s worth your time and attention, especially if you’re looking for something a little different than what you’d normally play.

The slight quirks aside, Fast Five will be a real treat for those with a taste for iOS racers. The rather extensive list of unlockables and titles to achieve, as well as the online multiplayer mode, guarantee that wannabe Vin Diesels will whet their appetite for flashy drag racing and high-speed gameplay.

Dawn of Titans is like the movie that earns Oscar nominations for all the effects and technical categories without being considered for the more “serious” awards, but there are far worse fates than that.

It’s a solid, addictive, and well-made idle-RPG. The pace sometimes feels uneven, with periods of frantic activity punctuated by spells when you’re waiting for something to tap on, but the overall journey is addictive, compelling and fun. Just be ready to exercise some patience, and accept that you’ll be in it for the long haul if you want to unlock every chapter.

A terrific release in an exceptional series. With 75 new levels to start with and the promise of more to come, there's simply no good reason to keep this one out of your collection. Besides – everyone loves a good mad scientist.

Hill Climb Racing 2 takes the wonderfully reckless car-flinging from the first game and mixes it with the joy of beating other players, all while wearing a Viking helmet. That is, apparently, all we ever wanted.

Elune Saga is a great free-to-play game, and I encourage fans of turn-based RPGs to check this one out. It definitely packs enough value to make it worth your time.

Colourful, packed with a genuine sense of play, and far more than the sum of the parts; a simple set of building blocks that combine to form something full of nuance and depth.

Luckily, you don't need power-ups to appreciate Funky Smugglers. On its own, the game is fun, silly, and addictive. But it is unsettling that the game's planes always take off regardless of how shoddily you perform behind the scanner.

For everything Infinity Blade II has added to the formula, Chair seems to have been just as quick to take something away. It's a sizable adventure to be sure, and there's no doubt it's an absolute must play – but at the same time, it feels like they're holding back content simply so they'll have something to offer as an update down the road. And when that "something" could be content that was in your last game... well... that just feels like cheating.

Its combination of engaging gameplay and good looks should be a winner, and even if it gets lumped in with other strategy titles in the minds of mobile gamers, at least it should emerge as the first thing people think of when they hear its name.

It might not be purrfect, but Cannon Cat is still a great iOS title. It's challenging, fun, and full of personality. It's a little light on variety and a tad glitch toward the end, but that's nothing a few updates can't fix.

Taken as a whole, My Muppets Show is charming and addictive. Not even Statler and Waldorf will find much to tear apart here—though they’ll certainly try.

Pixel Ranger has been a blast to play for a few years now, and this new iPhone version is no exception. Even better, though, is that Pixel Ranger on the iPhone ends up feeling more like a sequel than a simple adaptation. There's more structure, more power-ups, more modes – more of everything.

With its lovely aesthetics and unique mechanics, Causality is a satisfying challenge that will make you feel pretty darn accomplished for getting through it. If brains need workouts to get stronger, I can guarantee that Causality will have your brain doing some handstand pushups in no time.
