    If you have a penchant for pillaging, swilling brew, beards, collecting loot, and cruising around in your mighty Viking ship, then take a look at Vikings Row!

    The bottom line is that Final Freeway is fun, plays extremely well, looks great, and will scratch that OutRun itch whenever you need it to.

    An engaging affair that's well worth checking out if you're a fan of the series, or even a newbie like myself who just can't seem to put it down.

    If you loved the iPhone version of Enigmo and see yourself getting involved with the custom level packs, Enigmo Deluxe is worth the upgrade. However, if you missed Enigmo the first time around, and enjoy challenging physics puzzles, look no further than Enigmo Deluxe for the iPad.

    Atlantis Invaders, like the original Atlantis, is basically a re-jiggered take on the Missile Command formula that, to today's gamers, will exude a retro feel.

    With cool powerups, a strategic multiplier element, and charming graphics, Bounce On Up is worth taking a look at even if you've previously had your fill of this type of game.

    But even as it stands now, Font Monsters is a totally unique experience that offers a good challenge with plenty of content.

    Overall, Chuck Gnome combines a fun flinging mechanic with stellar visuals, and players are enjoying the game in our forums as well. If you're on the fence, give the lite version a try first. Content is fairly limited in the free version, but it will give you an excellent idea of how much you like the flinging mechanic the game hinges on.

    Golf Putt Pro offers a perfect way to kill a few minutes of free time during your day. There's global leaderboards for the top 100 scores in all but the 18 Holes mode, and Twitter and Facebook support for every mode.

    Clearly inspired by the newest Tron movie, Lightbike 2 looks far from boring.

    I would have loved to see some kind of variation either from randomization of the different verses, or something that prevents you from just memorizing everything. Regardless, this is an extremely cute game that will be easily enjoyed by anyone who likes the quirky side of the App Store.

    By far the thing I like least about Downhill Bowling 2 is the inability to disable the iAds.

    If you have a soft spot for Namco's famous mascot, or have nostalgic feelings for the original game, then give Pac-Attack a look.

    My other biggest point of contention is having to play for an extensive period of time (or spend real life money) before being able to unlock the landscape mode. It just feels like a cheap aspect to an otherwise excellently presented game.

    Pretty darn fun, and with 32 levels, OpenFeint integration, and a phenomenal musical score, it should keep you entertained for some time.

    Unfortunately, the cool premise is about all there is to it.

    Honestly, any negatives I can think of about Pocket HalfPipe are quickly forgotten once you get your thumbs on the board. It's just so much fun. Some additional variety in the form of tricks, clothing, or environments couldn't hurt, but what's here already is still really solid.

    Although it won't be everybody's cup of tea, SpikeDislike is a simple and fun challenge that's worth checking out.

    Besides the lack of Retina Display support, Bouncer Boot Out could really benefit from some sort of online high score tracking, such as Game Center. But even with these two shortcomings, it's still a really solid game.

    It may not blow you away with high end visuals, and the core gameplay is pretty simple and won't appeal to everybody, but GeoSpin is a catchy and original game that is executed very well.

    It is just a simple tilt-based game, but as far as the game's core concept is concerned, it's really cool– Especially if you've got an extensive Facebook photo collection.

    Still, the gameplay is fun enough to have a go at once in a while and for a dollar you can have a Rainbow Pony in your pocket, which is a statement I'm proud to be able to say in my lifetime.

    The only real down side to Extreme Sheepdog Trials is the amount of levels. Currently there are three different packs with five levels each. Some of them are very difficult and will take a while to complete, but it still would be nice to see more.

    So, relatively simple controls without near the depth found in their previous title. The game also ramps up a bit slower in difficulty than I had hoped, and like all survival games can get repetitive.

    Fans of either of the aforementioned craft management games should find Fleet Defense to be a challenging (and enjoyably frustrating) twist on the formula. Fun isn't all about offroad racing, after all.

    If you are a big fan of the first Minisquadron, then MiniSquadron Special Edition will be an obvious must-buy for you.

    With a better online scoring system, Star*Burst would be amazing.

    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.

    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.

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