If you like your Warhammer, then, or you're just itching for a good turn-based strategy game on your iPad, give Warhammer 40K: Armaggedon a try.

A little pachinko, a little pinball, Dungeon x Balls is a cool example of a paid game that has learned some good lessons from free-to-play.

Maximus 2 isn’t going to threaten the kings of the beat-em-up genre or anything, but if you enjoyed playing games like Castle Crashers, you’ll likely have a good time here. Leveling up all of the characters and unlocking their extra skins will take quite some time, so even if you’re playing solo there’s a lot to do here. Despite a few rough edges, it’s an excellent value for brawler fans on a budget.

While I would have liked to have seen a couple more boards, the amount on offer here is quite substantial in all other regards. Just keep in mind that this is indeed a throwback, so those looking for a more novel take on Mario Party will probably want to look into Super Mario Party instead.

If you enjoy relatively deep management games and have even a passing interest in science and space, then this is definitely a game you should check out.

With decent visuals, a great cohesiveness of thematics, and a good amount of content and replayability elements, N.Y.Zombies 2 is worth checking out for any horror fans.

If you've never played a baseball simulator before, MLB Manager 2015 is as good a jumping-in spot as any, with the latest features and real teams adding to the authenticity.

If you have no interest in Space Invaders, the stiff price and relative lack of extras make this a hard sell. If you already own Space Invaders Forever, I would be incredibly hard-pressed to recommend spending sixty dollars to get the rest of the games in this set. That means Space Invaders Invincible Collection is for you if and only if you really like the series and haven’t already grabbed Forever. But if you do meet those qualifications, this is a genuinely dandy pick-up. I truly wish more had been done with giving this storied series the added historical context it deserves, but the treatment of the games themselves is top-class.

Sure, it's kinda weird that the sequel is so much simpler than the first game, but ultimately I think it's the right choice for a free arcade game in 2015.

There's a great deal of work and craft on display, and you absolutely should not hesitate to download it for free to give it a shot, quirks and all.

It's a pleasant, well-written short story that takes place in an exciting world of pirates and the high seas, as grounded or as fantastical as you want it to be.

And as much as I enjoy a challenge, rage mode is the most enjoyable because it allows you to kerplode large clusters of dots at will after you've picked up the requisite powerups.

A game that instantly drew me in with its visuals, and then backed it up with a ton of solid action.

The characters make the game, and while the pacing is a bit up and down through the course of the story, the ending more than makes up for any bumps along the way. I’m less sold on the side-stories and exploratory bits, but the overall experience is one worth checking out.

The fantastic scoring system and randomly generated levels give the game a ton of replay value.

LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens is the same old LEGO juice in a Star Wars mug. I happen to think that juice tastes slightly better in that mug, but it all depends on how much you like Star Wars.

Like most of the games from developer Rebel Twins, Aliens Drive Me Crazy isn't something most people are going to want to sit down and play for hours at a time, but is incredibly fun in short bursts where its limited gameplay scope isn't quite so apparent.

This isn’t just a good foundation for what I hope will be a regular branch of the Pokemon tree from here on out. Pokemon Legends: Arceus is also a very fun RPG adventure. No, it’s not the Pokemon: Breath of the Wild that some may have been hoping for, but if you love the world of Pokemon it’s hard to imagine not being at least a little awed by this interesting new spin on the series. It’s still a very accessible game that aims to be enjoyed by young kids, so don’t expect anything fancy in terms of writing or a high level of challenge. Rather, this is a new, exciting way to have a Pokemon experience that makes me thrilled for what we might see in the future.

There are better auto-running platformers out there, but Totem Runner does a good job of keeping up. The experience is well-balanced between twitchy button handling and careful planning-it's just a touch cerebral, and never too frustrating.

Outside of a stark difficulty increase in the latter part of Chapter 2, Amidakuji Knight is a game I can't put down. It's easy to play either with your full concentration or while something is playing in the background, and my reaction time has improved because of it.

The amount of carnage on screen as you hurl rockets at a swarm of brightly colored bears can hardly be described, and the action in Battle Bears -1 is intense.

While Picross -LogiartGrimoire- doesn’t do anything revolutionary from a mechanical standpoint, its new framing for the puzzles makes this the best entry point for the series in quite a long while. If you’ve never played a Picross game before, I think this is the one to start with as far as the Switch releases go. If you have played a Picross game before, you probably picked this up the minute it released anyway.

It's pleasant but shallow. That said, I recommend Color Zen unequivocally, and I'd easily plop down more money for even more content, especially if it gets more difficult.

I really like TypeShift. I think it's an awfully fun game, and I always found myself coming back to it not long after putting it down over some irritating puzzle or another. But its various parts don't quite lock together as well as smoothly as you might hope, leaving the overall experience a little wanting. It's also a bit of a battery hog, surprisingly enough. If you enjoy word games, you'll almost certainly want to check this one out in spite of the little problems I've mentioned. There are tons of free puzzles to try out that should give you a solid idea of whether this is your thing or not. TypeShift might not have the accessible charms of SpellTower, but it does quite well in carving out a different sort of enjoyment all to itself.

Escape From the Pyramid will scratch your itch if you're looking for another challenging runner that actually has an end. It could use a few tweaks control-wise and maybe a bit more content down the line, but for now it's a great way to unwind and watch all of the IAP-heavy runners pass you by.

Perfect Cell blends all these different elements together seamlessly, and creates an experience that feels like its own.

A great game to pick up if you are bored of other match three games but don't want to give up on the genre.
