    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.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    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.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    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.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    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.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    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.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    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.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    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.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    I can't think of the last time I've had this much fun playing a game I've never heard of.
