These are not in any order of preference, but I will try to cover each genre in the articles.

Let’s Create Pottery 8/10

This is a highly original title that offers the chance to relax with just a hint of a challenge to keep you coming back. The developer has done remarkably well to make the experience feel genuine and it is well worth a look.

GT Racing: Motor Academy 9/10

With so many driving games available on the App Store it is difficult to choose just one, but GT Racing takes the crown for me due to the sheer length of gameplay involved. Throw in some of the most realistic driving and cornering available on a mobile and you have a winner.

Flick Kick Football 9/10

PikPok has released a few flicky kicky style games and they all work well, but Flick Kick Football is by far the best. It offers the ‘one more go’ feeling more than any other game I know of. Looks great and plays even better.

WordPop! 9/10

Have played it for years and will continue to play it for many more. It receives updates often, but these never take away from the core playability which is unrivalled in any other word game. Simply superb!

Angry Birds 9/10

What can I say that you don’t already know? The levels keep on coming in and for the price it has proved to be a continual feast of fun. It is one of a few games that truly deserves all of its success.

Dark Nebula 8/10

The graphics and sound are breathtaking for a mobile game and the cleverness of the levels is even better. The levels are limited so you may find yourself playing for a few days and then deleting it, but the experience is as good as any other.

Warfare Inc. 8/10

An oldie, but a goodie. The graphics need updating, but all of the goodness that includes strategy, quick thought and time are still there. Probably the best strategy game in the App Store.

F-SIM Space Shuttle 8/10

X-Plane takes all of the plaudits for mobile flight simulation, but F-Sim offers a more realistic flying experience. It feels immersive thanks to the control centre voices and is great for 5 minutes of flying fun.

HomeRun 8/10

HomeRun is by far my favourite card game of all time and it has transferred well to the iPhone. The lack of sound is strange, but everything else is there. Highly addictive!

Chocolate Shop Frenzy 8/10

If you want a game that will fill hours and hours of your life, this is the one. It offers a similar feeling to Airport Mania and other titles that require slightly more skill as each level progresses and have lots of personality included for good measure.
