    What matters though is that mobile gamers can at last enjoy a faithful and enjoyable act of service to a treasured gaming franchise, and it's one that takes advantage of all the graphical bells-and-whistles that modern hardware spoils us with.

    Fans of the original game can rest assured that this is the same game that they played and loved all those years ago. If you missed out on the game the first time around, know that Pinball Fantasies (even acknowledging its occasional, current hiccups), is still one of the finest pinball simulators that gaming has ever produced.

    Pictorial HD is not a complex game, it's not a challenging game, and in many ways it's a rather repetitive one. But it's wonderful nevertheless, and it's also impossible to play without having a great big silly grin on your face. If there's a better reason to pick up a game than that, I really can't imagine what it is.

    Without question one of the most beautifully crafted and fun video games to come along the past ten years. Peggle HD will be familiar to millions, but for those who have yet to experience this masterpiece, oh, how we envy them.

    If your mobile device does more than just entertain you on the way to work, but also provides your kids with some sanity-saving distraction, then they'll love the world, music and characters, but become quickly frustrated with the game.

    Contre Jour HD is a crowning achievement, an app that earned every one of its five stars. Smart, attractive and fun, it's one of the best reasons to own an iPhone or iPad.

    Super Crossfire HD will thrill players of all ages, giving them a chance to cut through extraterrestrial hordes on the go.

    So yes, Trucks and Skulls is a direct Angry Birds clone, but it's a great one. Not only is it immensely enjoyable, but it also has a cool presentation, with post apocalyptic backgrounds, mean looking trucks and plenty of explosions. Even the levels sound hardcore; Fortress of Bang, Indestruction.

    We literally have nothing bad to say about World of Goo. It's a wonderful puzzle game that every iPad owner needs to download. Prepare to spend hours, if not weeks, playing this one.

    It's varied, brisk, challenging, charmingly produced and packed full of content.

    It all comes down to how much you enjoy these types of apps, and whether you dream of owning an airport. If either sound appealing, Airport City HD will definitely keep you entertained. For how long will probably depend on how much money you feel the game is worth.

    There are a few niggles surrounding Symphonica: the story's ridiculous, there's far too much cut-scene waffling and the beats are ever so slightly off, but we had a huge amount of fun playing the game. Anyone who enjoys rhythm games should definitely check it out.

    If you're looking for a light-as-air platformer to turn to in this era of grizzled shooters and dark adventure, Kirby's the right kind of good, clean fun to cleanse your palate.

    Radiation Island is one of the most value-packed titles on iOS right now, jam-packed with features, things to do, and all wrapped up in a gorgeous package to boot.

    Blood Brothers 2 is a great strategy game. The artwork looks unique and there are a lot of interesting generals to assume the role of. The game is held back by an unforgiving stamina system and its need of a constant Internet connection, but don't let these issues prevent you from experiencing what is an otherwise quality effort.

    1+2=3 is a fun and addictive game.

    Spirefall is a fun and very entertaining game. It has a very simple objective and anyone can have fun playing. The game is a little too easy though and there is not a lot of extras available to keep people around for a long time.

    Bean Boy is a fun and pretty addicting game. It is very easy for anyone to pick up and play. There is not much to keep you playing though as there is no extra content and the game tends to be a little too easy.

    Don't Get Wet is a simple to play, but difficult to master one touch game. It has a unique concept with the controlling of two characters, but it may turn some people off because of the difficulty of having to watch and react to two different sets of obstacles.

    Platform Panic is a very fun and addictive platformer.

    Looney Tunes Dash is another endless runner with little offer by way of originality or excitement. You could pick any title off the App Store that would do virtually the same type of thing, and you'd still benefit from it. If you don't like Looney Tunes, you'd be better suited with a different game anyway.

    If you like ninjas and simple gameplay, there's plenty for you here!

    Volt is a sound physics puzzler and it does what it sets out to do well. It's not particularly ground-breaking or innovative, but if you're looking for a game that has refinement and great controls, you could do a lot worse than Volt.

    Papers, Please continues this years great line-up of PC ports to iOS. It has a great subtlety to it, and its message to players can be interpreted in so many different ways.

    The deceptive simpleness of gameplay lends itself to complex and difficult tracks that make a player feel accomplished. Unlike a majority of iOS games, stabbing your finger at the screen won't win this one. It will take practice and skill and that's a good thing.

    Whether you're a fan of zombie games or not, you'll find plenty of content here that is fun. The gameplay is tight and lacks really any sort of gimmick. The only qualms I had was that the gameplay wasn't varied enough for the length of the game, but it was still a blast till the end.
