Anything but a quick cash-in.

While all of Gameprom's pinball games are very good, War Pinball is definitely the cream of the crop. If you're already of fan of their previous work, this latest game is an easy purchase decision as it contains 3 fun new tables that make great use of their movie licenses.

I'll fully admit that I'm a total sucker for anything that vaguely follows the Metroidvania formula. Something deep inside of my genetic code just loves navigating a maze-like mixture of corridors and platforms with more areas becoming unlocked as I collect new skills, weapons, and abilities. Robot Wants Kitty plays in to this perfectly, even integrating my love for cats.

This game is just incredible. Every regular readers knows that I'm a retro nut, and Forget-Me-Not has retro goodness in droves.

Sword & Sworcery is an incredibly unique composition that almost makes you want to analyze it as if it were a movie rather than a video game, which not too many iOS games have ever made me do.

If you're prepared to deal with some of the old-school RPG trappings contained in Final Fantasy III, then you'll likely find it one of the best role-playing experiences in the App Store. But if you're mostly used to newer RPGs and the advancements that have come with them over the years, then Final Fantasy III may be too retro for your taste.

There really isn't a whole lot to Mr. Ninja, but the gameplay mechanics are solid and it's a fun time in either short or long bursts.

While Bastards isn't some ground breaking game release, it's definitely a really fun pick up if you have your expectations set appropriately.

A solid port of an imaginative game that puts a lot of control in your hands.

A solid port of an imaginative game that puts a lot of control in your hands.

Look Again! is a simple game, but it's an interesting concept and a fun challenge. Plus, there is loads of content with all of the included levels, dozens of different patterns, and Game Center integration for achievements and leaderboards.

A big improvement over the original iOS version, but it doesn't feel a whole lot different gameplay-wise. The swipe mechanic for swinging works beautifully, just as it did before.

Sure, there's room for improvement. I'd love it if there was more variation in scoring, or if there were jumps or other obstacles besides traffic.

Just like the classic games that inspired it, the gameplay in Monkey Labour is incredibly simple on the outside but contains subtle complexity and depth which is hard to master.

For an initial release though, Death Rally still contains a good amount of content, and it's a ton of fun to play through.

The game is incredibly well executed with excellent controls, has a ton of content and is a lot of fun. We highly recommend it.

Seed is a lengthy RPG that may appeal to the diehard fans of the genre, but will likely prove too frustrating and tedious for those looking for a refined and accessible RPG experience.

A fun shooter with a silly premise, and worth picking up if you can ignore the ads rotating on the main menu.

Rocking an excellent tone and a visual flair reminiscent of a new age 8-bit game. It's highly stylized and fitting, especially when you factor in the retro-infused music that plays over the action. It's good stuff.

A fun, high quality physics puzzler with intuitive controls and a full level creation and online sharing system for only $1.99. We highly recommend it.

My current favorite futuristic racer in the App Store. The camera angle, the well done tracks, the visual effects, the excellent sense of speed - they all come together to deliver what really does feel like a "console" title on the iPhone.

If you've enjoyed these types of games before, Castle Frenzy is worth serious consideration.

The quirky art style melds extremely well with the high-quality 3D environments, and the game ran consistently smoothly for me. Fleeced is worth every penny of its asking price.

It's unfortunate and surprising that such a beloved franchise received such poor treatment.

100 Rogues is as much about exploration as it is about move-by-move action and employing a careful strategy.

Fans of turn-based strategies from Military Madness to Mecho Wars owe it to themselves a treat like this. At $4.99, with the amount of game you're getting Rogue Planet is a no-brainer.

For fans of the original, this is an automatic buy, and for anyone else who still enjoys an occasional round of DOOM on the go, Rise of the Triad is a nice alternative that may well be worth a look.

A great idea for a game that ultimately is ruined by frustrating controls and gameplay which is too easy to get bored of.

Basically, it seems if you can get past the disappointing performance, long time Ridge Racer fans can still have fun with the drift-heavy racing style the game offers.

Hard to recommend, especially as your first foray in to the Rayman universe.

With an estimated 6-8 hours of gameplay, and side quests to keep you busy long after that, I can't help but recommend Ravensword.

We're enjoying our time with Ragdoll Blaster 2, though it does still feel very familiar. Certainly, if you're a fan of the first title, we see no reason why you shouldn't thoroughly enjoy the new features on offer.

Qbism is all about perspective, and forces you to think in three dimensions.

This game type in particular really is a lot of fun, but all the different game variations work well and add welcome variety to the beat 'em up style genre.

My initial impressions of the game are positive so far, but like most games designed for physical controls then ported to the iPhone, I have found myself fat fingering some jumps and generally just making play mistakes because of the inherent inaccuracies of virtual controls.

The level of description in the game is obviously not as thorough as Austen's original novel, although it does hit on all the major plot-points.

All in all, Monty Python's Cow Tossing is full of wasted potential.

These control issues don't render the game unplayable, but they create more frustrating mistakes than you may be able to deal with.

As neat as it is that the stylish combat of Devil May Cry translates well to the mobile version, it still has a tendency to feel repetitive and button mashy.

If you've enjoyed Super Meat Boy on any of the platforms it's available on, and have been looking for something similar for iOS, League of Evil is totally worth your dollar.

The one spot I'd criticize are the visuals in particular. While the particle stuff on the explosions are great, I think the art comes off as a little flat.

If you're the kind of person who likes puzzle games with a difficulty level easily disguised as "brutal", and you've got an ear for music, Pixel Quartet is a game that you simply must try.

I had a ton of fun with Sacred Odyssey: Rise of Ayden, and highly recommend any Zelda fan give it a try. You'll have a great idea of whether or not you want to continue by the time you hit the pay wall, and hopefully you're somewhere with connectivity so you can proceed past it.

If you're any sort of JellyCar fan at all though, JellyCar 3 is easily the best one yet and is highly recommended.

Infinight is not a fast-paced game - so much so that likely some gamers will find frustration - but it is evocative and challenging. Puzzle fans who like a slice of atmosphere to go with their quest for the goal should enjoy what Infinight has to offer.

If I had to come up with one negative about Cows vs Aliens, it would be that it's really just a one-trick pony.

Its combination of play mechanics from various genres is beautifully executed, its challenge is immense, and it's got just a whole lot of personality.

The art style is cute, the music couldn't be better, and the game is built on a funny (yet entirely cliche) premise.

A wonderfully updated version of the classic arcade game. It's missing some features, most notably a multiplayer component, but the single player offering is more than competent and a lot of fun.

The ingenious level designs and dark humor of Karoshi is worth occasionally fighting the controls for.

There's a ton to like about Back to the Future.

This is a classic arcade-style sports game that is more about fun than about simulation and accuracy.

It successfully scratches the MMORPG itch of party-based combat while being a completely pick up and play game single player game.

The simple gameplay in Tiny Wings is sublime, but there's an intangible aspect to it that makes it a total joy to play.

But for those willing, Pocket Legends is an extremely rewarding experience that has easily provided me with some of the best online gameplay on the iPhone to date.

Pocket Creatures is a charming pet sim with a lively, sandbox world that promotes exploration and experimentation.

If you've played through Cooking Mama and are looking for more to cook, Pocket Chef seems to be a competent cooking simulator that I'm sure some will enjoy.

Despite the aforementioned issues, the art design in Plushed is wonderful, the level design was ultimately fun, and the in-jokes and pop culture references delightful.

The 88 Metacritic score of the original Plants vs. Zombies (complete with 100's from multiple sources) just goes to show how great this game is. The iPhone port is absolutely phenomenal, and even though it's lacking a few game modes, there's always hope for them to be implemented in the future either via an update or a DLC add-on.

Comes together beautifully to create a game that's perfectly suited for long or short play sessions, and beckons to be played over and over as you work towards high score glory.

Even though the camera is kind of weird, The Pinball HD seems to be the best pinball collection available for the iPad right now.

The current version of PewPew 2 is one of the best dual-stick shooters available, and is well deserving of its modest price tag.

If the Crazy Taxi comparison is lost on you, Parcel Panic is a fun and fast paced driving game with tons of jumps, unlockables, great graphics with effects that scale depending what device you're using that I've really enjoyed since loading it on my iPhone.

The art style is cute, the gameplay is fun and well-suited to the iPhone, and the two modes are neatly packaged and make the game easy to look at and play. Parachute Ninja is an easy purchase.

Succeeds in making this brilliant arcade formula seem fresh and new once again. And that's a truly impressive feat.

My only real complaint about the title is that, when next-move hints are enabled, they appear after just five seconds of idle time.

The game may have its flaws, but Gameloft has done a great job in making what could have been a quick and dirty port into a legitimately fun piece of software.

Clearly a "must have" for nostalgia value.

Daisy Mae's Alien Buffet is a fun survival shooter with tons of weapons and a cool atmosphere to it.

The controls may be a tad too finicky for players who weren't around for racing games before the advent of analog controls, but if you loved RC Pro-Am, Rock n' Roll Racing, and the many other similar games of the era, Cubed Rally Racer will become your de facto "I have two minutes what should I play?" game.

With fun gameplay and a ton of content in a polished package for only $0.99, it comes highly recommended.

Overall a nice and original puzzle game that should appeal to fans of jigsaw or tangram-like games.

Overall, X2 Soccer 2010 is one of the top soccer game experiences right now on the App Store.

If you're a gamer that likes to tear up the slopes on occasion, do not let this one pass you by.

WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2010 is enjoyable, and I say that as a person who isn't blindy in love with such games. In fact, it's been a pretty long time since I've really enjoyed a wrestling video game, so downloading this one was a refreshing experience and a great decision.

While not reinventing the genre, Wolf Boy is an entertaining game with plenty of action, although it can tend to feel a bit repetitive.

If you're not particularly tied to the Waldo series, there are better hidden object games with more variety on the App Store, although few posses as much charm as Where's Waldo?.

The truly unfortunate thing about Warheads is the lack of any kind of online scoring.

I can't think of the last time I've had this much fun playing a game I've never heard of.

Notching up the intensity of the virtual battlefield carnage are the encouraging quips of your in-game crew, consisting of the voices of both Jon St. John (the voice of Duke Nukem) and Jeff Straub.

Personally, having had a historical fondness to this sort of formula from early Playstation games, I actually enjoyed the gameplay setting and found the adventure sequences to be well done. That said, I can see how it would seem dated, and tap to shoot mechanic is almost never a positive.

A stylized shooter that feels very well implemented, delivers real challenge, supports all iOS devices natively, and costs $0.99.

Tumbledrop isn't particularly original, but if you're a fan of these types of games you likely have several similar ones on your phone already.

I've actually had a surprising amount of fun with Truckers Delight. Mobigame did a great job of nailing the feel of endless retro racing games, and the difficulty ramps up nicely requiring quite a bit of concentration as you dart between oncoming cars in your 18 wheeler.

As a strategy game, Transformers G1 Awakening offers up enough twists to help it stand out in a sea of similar games.

iPhone gamers on the go will find Train Conductor to be a game particularly well-suited to quick, pick-up play sessions. It's right into the action and in moments you're in the heat of the connecting track shuffle.

Definitely one of the best virtual pet games I've played, largely in part due to how much it utilizes Plus+ for building relationships between dogs. It adds a completely unexpected level of depth and complexity to the game that will likely keep me playing it for quite some time.

With how polarized the reactions on the forums have been regarding the controls, it really seems like Touch Racing Nitro is a game that badly needs a lite version.

The actual skating in Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 has an absolutely timeless feel to it.

I enjoyed exploring the various content and commentary which is what kept me playing the game.

Though the context-sensitive controls should work well, we felt that they haven't been executed as well as they could have.

With so few competent dog fighting games on the App Store, both H.A.W.X. and Ace Combat Xi are worth considering.

TipTop: The Last March has a fun core gameplay mechanic, and is oozing with style between the excellent art and sound design. If you've been looking for a good Lemmings-like game on the iPhone, look no further.

Tilt to Live is a game that draws you in with its edgy personality and inescapable 'just one more go' gameplay.

An amazingly creative game, and thanks to the multiple difficulty levels should be approachable enough for kids and challenging enough for adults.

But, really, what makes the game so well suited for the iPhone is its casual nature as compared to the typical roguelike. And that's not to say the game is shallow or light on dungeon crawling action, but rather we feel it's simply a bit more accessible to the typical gamer than, say, Nethack, Moria, or Rogue thanks to an economy of controls, spells, and the like.

Overall, SuperFall is a great combination of casual ragdoll gaming with an extensive achievement/upgrade system that may lure in both casual gamers and hardcore completionists.

I haven't been this impressed with the evolution of a game of this nature since the original Metroid spawned the phenomenally brilliant Super Metroid.
