    Age of Zombies
    While imperfect, it's a great game and highly entertaining.

    Colosseum
    It's a far shot from Zombieville and there are parts that need to be addressed. But other than that, the developer did an ingenious work with the replay value, a factor that plays into almost all successful iPhone games.

    Ozone
    Ozone is a beautiful game crafted quite nicely.

    Chromixa
    While there is some lack of replay value, the overall game was very much worth that $1.99, a price not too far away from the minimal $0.99 price tag.

    Silent Swords ZERO
    The addition of a real story laid out in comic book styling really adds to the experience.

    Sword & Poker
    As ridiculous an idea as it sounds, Sword & Poker is a really fun game, and one that I find easy to recommend as a purchase.

    BackStab
    All of it is intriguing, interesting, and enjoyable; there's nothing like it on the App Store. It is a little repetitive though, and the graphics and animations really keep it back from being named one of the best on the App Store.

    Alive 4-ever RETURNS
    If you're a fan of the dual-stick shooter or of zombie games in general, Alive 4-ever RETURNS should be at the top of your shopping list.

    Fruit Ninja
    Fruit Ninja is the perfect casual game that I thoroughly enjoyed. While there are minor problems I stated above, it's an overall solid appearance on the App Store and one that casual gamers shouldn't miss.

    Funkyball Worlds
    It's cheap, filled with content, and looks really nice. Along with that, it comes packaged with 33 OpenFeint achievements, a lot more than the usual game.

    Twin Blades
    Twin Blades: The Reaping Vanguard is a great button-masher, and one of the prettiest games in the app store.

    The Settlers
    Although there are no surprises for those familiar with this type of game, The Settlers does deliver where it is expected.

    Land-a Panda
    The verdict: Land-A Panda is quite average. But the tantalizing price point and the cute graphics seem to balance out the average gameplay, along with the ton of content involved.

    Inotia 3: Children of Carnia
    Bottom-line, Children of Carnia is an enjoyable role-playing game, though it becomes occasionally tedious with its fetch quests and grinding.

    Blokus
    No worries about losing pieces or counting up blocks as the computer does it all for you now even. I can practice new strategies, pick up hints from watching the computer play, all useful for real life games.

    A Bloody Fun Day!
    A bloody good game and deserves your attention.

    Zen Bound 2 Universal
    In terms of visuals, I think they've set the bar for how iPad games should look, as the detail that went into this is just… inspiring.

    The Incident
    The Incident is unquestionably worthy of purchase and deserves not to be buried in the pile.

    Zenonia 2: The Lost Memories
    The PvP mode is a nice addition to the game though, and I must say that it is one of the most interesting features I've seen in an RPG.

    Thumpies
    Such quibbles aside, Thumpies is a roaring good time and well worth checking out.

    Swords & Soldiers
    Swords and Soldiers could just be the next best castle defense game on the App Store. But the gameplay balancing really needs some tweaking as does some of the difficulty.

    Solipskier
    Some may complain that the price is too high and others may say that it's just too simple. What I say is that it's just good, clean fun.

    Dizzypad - Frog Jump Fun
    It features just enough challenge that will have you clamoring for more. The combination of strategy, challenge, and fun make this game an instant hit, one that will surely be added to that "what game should I get" list.

    Eternal Legacy
    Ultimately, Eternal Legacy by Gameloft is one of the most graphically pleasing RPG's on the appstore at the moment. It is a well made J-RPG that boasts umpteen hours of gameplay between the main quest and the side quests, even if those side quests are hard to find.

    Tiny Wings
    Tiny Wings is a good game. But it's extremely raw when it comes to options such as being able to listen to your own music, and it also left out GameCenter on its initial launch. The gameplay is addictive, though, and the artwork isn't too shabby.

    Battle for Wesnoth
    Battle for Wesnoth is a solid turn-based strategy game that will continually be in development, a fact that I find some comfort in.

    Reckless Racing
    A fun, good-looking, and fully-featured top-down racer that delivers on its premise.

    Orions 2
    Provides an engaging and entertaining experience for fans of the collectible card-game genre.

    Let's Golf! 2
    Let's Golf 2 is still a solid sequel to one of the best games on the App Store. While there are some errors and flaws with the overall game, I'm still having fun with it.

    Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X
    Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X. is one of the best dogfighting experiences on the iPhone, but it's still not enough to be the best we've ever seen. It's somewhat difficult and online multiplayer would be such an awesome feature. The storyline is very well done though, and the graphics were amazingly rendered.
