Puckerz
One for those with a careless bent, and perfect for when you want to play a game but not do any thinking.
£0.69
Ragdoll Blaster 3
The iOS equivalent of a plain cheese sandwich: does the job, but it won’t linger in the memory afterwards.
£0.69
Max Payne Mobile
Max is back with some minor control issues that won’t get in the way of your enjoyment of this shooter classic
£1.99
Numberlys
A great looking and original story, which disappoints with its lack of charm and colour.
£3.99
Beat Sneak Bandit
Puzzle, stealth, rhythm-action and a smattering of platforming, with Game & Watch era rigidity smashed into modern iOS-style aesthetics. Perfect.
£1.99
Angry Birds Space
The rebooted physics of this new instalment means you’d have to be cuckoo to bet against Angry Birds’ continued domination as it aims for infinity, and beyond.
£0.69
Bejeweled
What? A verdict!? Just leave us alone – we’re busy playing Diamond Mine! Again! All night long! Argh!
£0.69
Caverns of Minos
Weaving through colourful tunnels may not be consistently thrilling, but Caverns of Minos sure is a charming little curio.
£1.29
Ice Rage
A game this shallow is skating on thin ice, but it’s enjoyable enough that we don’t really care
£0.69
Chrono Trigger
A bonafide legend that’s still well worth playing, in spite of interface woes
£6.99
Bubble in Paradise
Not quite paradise for iOS word-game fiends, but enjoyable enough and worth a look; doubly so if you’ve a bubble-popping fetish
£0.69
Hypership Out Of Control
Horrifically fast retro larks with, we suspect, an extremely niche appeal. We like it, though
£0.69
Gears
It could have been a contender, but Gears has a cog loose and so doesn’t quite run like clockwork
£1.99
Fishing Kings
There’s plenty of fishing fun to be had in this great little virtual angler
FREE
Anthill: Tactical Trail Defense
A fast, fun, yet ultimately simple strategy game with brilliant controls
£0.69
eBoo – space adventures
A minor classic in waiting that’s currently a bit too challenging for its own good
£0.69
Extraction: Project Outbreak
Innovative controls and a great foundation, but repetitive. If new missions appear later, pretend we gave it another star
£0.69
Jetpack Joyride
An absurdly addictive runner that stops just short of soaring its way to perfection
FREE
Fruit Ninja: Puss In Boots
Shameless tie-in meets addictive-but-shallow new game mode. We love it now, but won’t respect it in the morning
£0.69
Greedy Spiders
Tough puzzles and a sharp difficulty curve mean this treads a fine line between fun and frustration
£0.69
Hummingbird Bakery Cake Days
Not the best-designed cooking app we’ve ever seen, but the recipes it contains are interesting and unusual
£1.99
Football Manager Handheld 2012
FM Handheld is back ready to sap away your commute once again…
£6.99
Infinity Blade 2
Lunges for ‘classic’, but stabs ‘merely very good’ instead. Nonetheless, it’s essential if you enjoyed the original
£4.99
FIFA 12
Currently the best footy experience on iOS by a considerable margin, and a step up from last year’s offering
£2.99
Drop 7 by Zynga
A first-rate puzzle game that rewards strategic thinking, but it lacks polish
£1.99
Bring Me Sandwiches
A touch fiddly at times, but this game’s imagination and wonderful visuals combine to make a tasty treat
£0.69
Anooki Jump
A slight but good-natured game that rarely slips up and very regularly shines.
£0.69
Death Smiles
Packs all the Cave punch you’d expect, but really needs to be prettier and cheaper
£7.99
Surveillant
Apart from the lack of levels, it’s a well-designed and atmospheric game of cat and mouse.
£1.49
Spectaculator, ZX Spectrum Emulator
A polished emulator, but for widespread appeal it needs more and better games.
£1.99
Another World – 20th Anniversary
A mercilessly difficult, albeit faithful Amiga port that rewards only the most tenacious of gamers
£2.99
Frogger Decades
Bordering on unplayable. We only got through the game due to sheer bloodymindedness.
£0.69
Whale Trail
Loop the loop, collect Blubbles, smash enemies, discover new lands and make friends along the way.
£0.69
Shadowgun
Android-toting gamers should have Madfinger’s website bookmarked, such is the quality of the Czech coders’ excellent Tegra Zone beat-em-up ‘Samurai II: Vengeance THD’.
£5.49
Groove Coaster
A visually stunning and surprisingly fresh take on a genre that was becoming stagnant.
£1.99
Jenga
A brave attempt at translating a physical board game, but it just isn’t a great videogame.
£0.69
Hard Lines
The sort of game you’ll intend to play for five minutes – and then it’ll be dark outside.
£0.69
Fighting Fantasy: The Warlock of Firetop Mountain
A timeless classic. And now, a little piece of role-playing history in your pocket.
£1.99
TouchGrind BMX
Fiddly at first, but once you get the hang of it, finger-tricking on your BMX is a joyful experience.
£2.99
Cut the Rope: Experiments
A disappointing, cynical sequel that needs more levels and new features to justify its existence.
£0.69
Deep Green Chess
A simple, elegant and assured game of chess that feels no need to show off. Positively classy.
£4.99
Beyond Ynth
Not a game to buy if you dislike a challenge, but if you’re all for tough puzzlers, Beyond Ynth is great.
£1.49
Ascendancy
It’s a lovely game, lovingly restored and has great nostalgia value. It’s just not terribly user-friendly.
£2.99
Bug Heroes
An innovative, cute and moderately enjoyable game, but it’s not quite the finished article.
FREE
Fast Five The Movie: Official Game
Fast Five looks and feels great, but lacks the honed balance and difficulty curve of Asphalt 6.
£2.99
I Must Run!
In borrowing the best from the rest and adding new twists, I Must Run! becomes best in class.
£0.69
Arno The Hunter
Initially dazzling but short-lived; however, the price is right for the entertainment it offers.
£0.69
Gangstar: Miami Vindication
A largely entertaining game that’s pulled off with considerable skill.
£4.99
Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light
Technical gremlins aside, this is vintage Lara Croft with fantastic shooting and adventuring.
£3.99
Fishing Kings
There’s plenty of fishing fun to be had in this great little virtual angler.
£0.59
Explosive Love
Not quite best-in-class, but Explosive Love is entertaining, challenging and a bit of a looker.
£0.59
NBA Jam
It needs a proper tournament and a multiplayer mode, but NBA Jam is nevertheless an incredibly amusing game.
£0.59
Axe in Face
Silly, simple and fun. Not quite an App Store classic, but definitely earns a recommendation.
FREE
Fight Night Champion by EA Sports
Add a proper career mode and multi-player option and Fight Night Champion would be a title winner.
£2.99
Egg vs Chicken
It’s no Plants vs. Zombies, but Egg vs. Chicken is closer to ‘tasty treat’ than ‘undercooked’.
£0.59
Guitar Hero
A very cheap and very cheerful translation of the world’s favourite rhythm game.
£1.89
Dark Nebula: Episode 2
One of iOS’ finest. Fantastic aesthetics, precise controls and engaging gameplay.
£1.19

An insanely fast racer with some great track design, but it somehow feels a little empty.
£2.99
Burn the Rope
A fine action-oriented puzzle game that pleasingly tries to do something different.

Cat Physics
A cracking little game that follows in the slightly bonkers tradition of Doodle Jump and Angry Birds
£0.59
Geometry Wars Touch
We love Bizarre Creations’ original Xbox 360 Arcade version, almost as much as we love this new iPhone port

Guitar Hero
Activision rolls-out its killer pretend-to-be-a-rock-star game for the iPhone, but can it work?

Finger-touch controlled footy game to while away the hours in-between the real World Cup matches this summer
