Teaming up NaturalMotion with the NFL was a stroke of genius. This is a developer with a proven track record for football fun, so it's really a win-win scenario for everyone involved.

An absolute must play-it's just that there's more we'd love to see them do with it.

As a point and click adventure game, Dead Escape is actually pretty entertaining. But unfortunately it's been wrapped up with unpolished elements that really detract from the experience. Clunky controls, the inability to look around, and terrible voice acting just serve to poison the underlying game, taking it from a game that fans of the genre should check out to one of caution.

The central issue with Punch a Hole is that it's far too easy for far too long, and when the difficulty does ramp up it's entirely too inconsistent.

A pretty delicious little game. It's challenging, fun, and addictively fast-paced. Not only that, but the constantly-changing gameplay provides players with varying gameplay mechanics that help keep things fresh and interesting.

If DrawRace was a prototype, DrawRace 2 is the finished product. Fans of the original will be tickled pink by what the sequel as to offer, and if you haven't played the first, chances are you'll be just as excited to dive in.

An incredibly entertaining little puzzle title, thanks in large part to its challenge and sense of fun. In spite of its sometimes-middling production values, this is a game that starts out feeling like something casual but winds up becoming something addictive.

Frogger Decades is the sort of game that Frogger fans have been waiting years for. Heck – maybe even decades. But it's also a game that offers up a tremendous amount of challenge, so the easily frustrated need not apply. Still, if you've got the skills and the patience needed, Frogger Decades simply doesn't disappoint.

Galcon Fusion is a cleanly presented, fast-paced strategy game with solid controls, but the simplicity might only hold your attention for a few rounds or so. If subjugating the universe was this user-friendly in real life, we'd see a new interplanetary honcho weekly, and that could just get downright exhausting.

Halfbrick is one of only a handful of developers that seem to impress with every release on the App Store, and Jetpack Joyride is no exception. Is it yet another endless survival game on the App Store? Sure. But it's one that's brimming with personality, challenge, and a machine gun that you wear on your back to fly. If that doesn't say second amendment, I don't know what does.

If Smurfs' Grabber really were an arcade game, it would be the only machine without a line.

While there are plenty of cute mogas to collect and a number of islands to explore, the simplified combat and linear progression mean that it's a game that doesn't offer as much depth as Pokemon. But, at the same time, it provides a rich and colorful world to explore and plenty of moga to collect, which is all any budding monster trainer can really ask for.

Rail Maze, with over 100 levels and thousands of downloads, certainly seems to be one of the hotter casual games out there at the moment. If you're looking for a puzzle game that puts you under pressure and also allows for some creativity on your part, you'll want to be hopping on this train.

Here's the real issue with Treemaker... with only 18 levels here you're only going to get, at most, two hours of entertainment out of it. Then you're finished and there's nothing left to do but delete it from your phone.

It's hard to argue with the value proposition that Galaxy Express makes. With 120 levels at a budget price, some of them immensely challenging, this is a game that could keep you entertained for awhile. Just be prepared for the abuse that every mailman has to take – galactic or not.

With a ton of variety in the levels and the devilish complexity offered, puzzle game fans should naturally be drawn to the Demolition Master 3D app like a moth to a flame. Word of caution to the more casual of you out there though – while blowing stuff up is always a good time, the game gets pretty hard and requires a skilled, patient hand to complete.

Great for both short bursts of play and longer sessions, Reckless Getaway is leaving all its competitors in the dust.

Plays remarkably like its predecessor, only scaled back. The gameplay is nearly identical, as are the bright and colorful visuals (though the characters look a bit jagged at times).

On the one hand, I was taken by the concept of leveling up cute-animal critters, the simple and mostly enjoyable mini-games, as well as an art style that is exceptionally cheerful. But there's something inherently wrong with the type of peddling that's found here.

Equal parts Flight Control and Metal Gear Solid, Spy Mouse proves that line-drawing games can be much, much more than simple Flight Control clones. The levels are ingenious, the stealth puzzle gameplay is inspired, and the difficulty curve makes it accessible for players of any level.

A game that feels so inviting that you'd be a fool to turn away. Come to the light.

It may not break any new ground, but Hospital Story is a good deal of fun that's hard to put down thanks to how well it pulls off each of its parts. As a free download, it's hard to lose with a game this fun.

An utterly adorable iOS app. The game is approachable, offers plenty of bang for your buck, and the enjoyment you'll get out of playing through its many levels is priceless. I do wish earned stars were currency I could do more with, but for the asking price, Early Bird is about as good as mobile gaming gets.

While it may be a continuation of the previous games and simply a single part of a larger story, 1112: Episode 03 shows improvements over its predecessors, resulting in the strongest game in the series yet.

I have to emphasize the first two worlds here, because while the puzzling in Sprinkle is fairly easy, unlocking World 3 and beyond is incredibly hard.

Monster Mouth has all the components of a top-notch title, but lacks the quantity to match the quality.

If you like the Phoenix Wright or Professor Layton series, or enjoyed games like Hotel Dusk: Room 215, then it stands to reason you're going to like The Secret Chateau de Moreau. The story is well paced and wonderfully interesting as a murder mystery.

While it's possible to appreciate DEO for ripping up the rule book in terms of its delivery, when it comes to the gameplay itself, it's far too sparse and peculiar for its own good. All in all, there's ultimately only one way to describe DEO: a jump too far.
