    What's the Word? 4 Pics 1 Word
    That's really all there is to it, and quite frankly, we can't hate on What's the Word: 4 Pics 1 Word too much. Yes, it's a mirror image of What's the Word?, and we can certainly debate whether this is or is not an issue. At the same time, it's an entertaining game, and App Store reviewers appear satisfied. Considering both titles are free, that only means more puzzles for you.

    Robokill - Rescue Titan Prime
    The wealth of upgrades, sharp visuals and fun gameplay make it one of the iPad's premier offerings. Besides, no one should pass up the opportunity to turn a small army of robots into scrap metal.

    Geometry Wars: Galaxies
    In all, Geometry Wars: Galaxies is an expansion done right.

    Heroes and Castles
    As a solo affair, Heroes and Castles works surprisingly well. Having to constantly launch units and keep an eye on the castle becomes overwhelming, but it doesn't take long to get a handle on the game's intricacies, and with new modes coming in the near future, there's room for aggressive expansion. Might as well get in on the ground floor.

    Air Mail
    Air Mail could've been exceptional, but as it stands, the game will just have to settle for being great, with beautiful art work, tight controls and fun exploration/time-based play.

    Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit
    We had a blast playing Need For Speed Hot Pursuit on consoles, and surprisingly, the Apple iOS version holds its own, with sharp graphics, high speed thrills and lots of in-game achievements. On the downside, you can only play as the police, but this is still a fun and very affordable App that we highly recommend.

    Wave Trip
    Wave Trip carries on Lucky Frame's tradition of producing experimental music games that still manage to deliver a satisfying traditional gaming experience.

    Another World: 20th Anniversary Edition
    The fact that we enjoyed Another World 20 years after it first debuted is a testament to its greatness. Other games have copied its cinematic storytelling and puzzles, but this is where it all began. Young or old, you'll appreciate much of what this engaging adventure has to offer.

    Coco Loco
    The game is easy on the eyes, with detailed stages full of visually appealing treats. We don't know what's in that jelly, but we'd certainly like some.

    Lili
    Thankfully, there's more to it than eye candy, and this substance outshines the negatives. Worth five bucks? Absolutely.

    Tilt to Live 2: Redonkulous
    A very good sequel to a pretty slick original, in other words.

    The Walking Dead: Assault
    Taken as a whole, The Walking Dead: Assault provides a welcome change of pace from the usual first and third person zombie shooters, with smartly designed squad-based mechanics. With more chapters due for release in the coming months, it's a game worth hanging on to, especially if you love the comics and/or TV show.

    Looney Tunes Dash!
    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.

    SYMPHONICA
    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.

    Bobbing
    Our only complaint involves pausing and then restarting the game, with zero time in between to regain one's bearings; fixable in an update perhaps. Aside from that relatively small issue, Bobbing is one of the most challenging games we've played. It would have felt right at home on classic consoles. That being said, it's a great fit for iOS and Android devices.

    Zombies Ate My Friends
    Zombies Ate My Friends serves up an enjoyable amount of fun for players of all ages. It's not perfect, but it satisfies like a good, cheap dinner.

    Sketch Nation Studio
    Definitely flawed, but I've poured several hours into it and have no intention of stopping.

    Mad Skills BMX
    Learning curve aside, it's one of the most competent competitive racers available on the App Store, and the multiplayer and ghost-racing components will give you considerably more value for money than the majority of the competition will.

    Space Age: A Cosmic Adventure
    Overall, Space Age is a beautiful and intelligent adventure with a few flaws that's still very much worth checking out, especially if you're hankering for some old-school pixel action or something decidedly familiar.

    Catapult King
    We had a lot of fun with Catapult King: the graphics are gorgeous, it's an interesting take on the typical physics puzzlers on the App Store, and it has a very responsive control system that befits a precision puzzler such as this.

    6th Planet
    Aside from that, 6th Planet is a great example of what creative folks can do with iOS. We look forward to Monkube's next project.

    Gurumin: A Monstrous Adventure
    Gurumin serves up a bevy of mostly entertaining fare via its lighthearted romp through a whimsical land of monsters and phantoms. Just don't expect a grandiose story or sweeping genre innovation, and despite its kiddie trappings and minor flaws you may be amazed at how fun this game can be.

    Can You Escape 2
    Even with its short length, Can You Escape 2 has plenty of smarts going for it. The puzzle design is ingenious, the interface is easy to use, and the solutions will put a smile on your face. Not bad for a game that can be played without spending a cent.

    Liqua Pop
    both challenging and casual friendly. Hardcore gamers will obsess over high scores, while the average Joe can play at his or her own pace, effortlessly merging droplets by sliding a thumb around the screen. Fun stuff.

    Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords
    An addictive, entertaining affair that takes a little bit of patience and learning to get down the basics. Once learned, however, you'll be hooked in no time flat and unwilling to turn a cold shoulder to it.

    Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games
    Overall, though, Mario and Sonic At the Olympic Games has its weight in gold medal, moreso than the other, flawed console version. Its gameplay, multiplayer options and presentation will hit the spot with Olympians and fans of their games everywhere.

    Shantae: Risky's Revenge
    This is the same Shantae: Risky's Revenge we know and love, but on much better screens. If you beat this game months ago, there's little reason to download it again. If, on the other hand, this is your first time playing, then by all means. It's $2.99 well spent.

    Endless Road
    Even allowing for these niggles, this is nevertheless a highly original and entertaining take on the endless-runner genre.

    Turnacle
    Turnacle won't be for everyone, and even hardened puzzle gamers may find the game a question of taste. Once you've mastered the underlying strategy, it might also be a rather short-lived experience given the limited number of game modes in this - currently - free title.

    The Ensign
    The Ensign is a fantastically weird and wonderful RPG that has plenty going for it, but only if you have the time and patience to peel away the several layers. You'll find that it's delightfully bizarre in many ways, especially if you were a previous fan of A Dark Room.
