    It's been a long time since I was actually sucked into a video game storyline and cared about the characters and their fates.

    Flick Golf is another one of those games that you simply can't go wrong with, unless you hate golf games for some reason.

    In short, this is the first superb new iOS game of the new year.

    It's awesome, the graphics are great, and the gameplay isn't too shabby. Sure, there's room for improvement. And if you didn't like the first one, you definitely won't like this. But honestly, compared to the competition, you really can't ask for more.

    Aralon is quite simply the best RPG on the App Store. I can't really say enough about it, but man, Galoobeth and Crescent Moon have really outdone themselves.

    Dodonpachi Resurrection is the best top-down shooter I've ever played, and being a newbie at bullet-hell shooters, I've had a ton of fun with it.

    Creating multiplayer match ups with friends is as simple as emailing your friends the link to your match and when accepted the game begins.

    It is easily among my favorite new app store releases.

    But if you look past the pretty fluff and the shiny-ness of your new toy, you'll find that Infinity Blade is really just the same thing over and over again. BUT, that same thing over and over again is oddly appealing… somewhat like the "same thing over and over again" mechanism of Fruit Ninja, Flight Control, etc. And for that reason, there's really no other rating for this than the Must Have.

    Small annoyances aside, Rimelands: Hammer of Thor is simply one of the highest quality traditional role-playing game experiences available on the app store. It's tough as nails, but the combat have you coming back for more.

    While the game is clearly made with longtime Castlevania fans in mind, there is more than enough content for a newcomer to the series to get their feet wet and enjoy.
    • Metascore: 86

    If you enjoy fast-paced addictive gameplay, wacky cartoon visuals, or just plain having fun, I would recommend this game as a must have.

    The game is a highly enjoyable SRPG with an engrossing story and a wonderful combat system.

    Pro Zombie Soccer as a game is a must have experience. The controls, gameplay, and artwork are just over the top, making this casual game one of the more intriguing.

    Corporate Fury is a fun take on the brawling formula with a very silly and crude premise.
    • Metascore: 84
    • Critic Score 100
    Overlooking the fact that the game doesn't make any sense and is, at times, utterly ridiculous, Air Attack is a superb shooter.

    Aqua Moto Racing 2 didn't strike me as a breakthrough racing experience, but the balance of the game itself really impressed.

    I've had a ton of fun with Monster Dash, and there's really no other words to describe it other than just that: fun.

    Despite its very minor flaws, Monster Mayhem is one of the best tower defense games produced to date.

    As a sequel, Blue Defense: Second Wave captures everything that was great about the first game, refines it, builds upon it, ups the ante manifold.

    Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter is the premier hunting experience on the iPhone, and it's just the perfect game for a wide variety of people.
    • Metascore: 92
    • Critic Score 100
    With the care and consideration that this game obviously had during development, it is for sure a must buy that shows off the capabilities of the platform.

    Cut the Rope is appealing in price, aesthetics, and gameplay. What more could you ask for? If you haven't picked up this title yet, I suggest you to hop yourself over to the App Store and pick it up.

    Dark Void Zero is a love-letter to old-school NES gamers, and being conscious of their target audience, Capcom delivers in a major way.
    • Metascore: 83

    While the lack of music definitely does nothing to enhance the game, there is already so much high quality content that Dinosaur Slayer is without a doubt a must have for its magnificent art style and surprisingly deep and enjoyable combat system.

    Blending narrative, mission objectives, frenetic combat and in-depth character development into a complete package, 2360: Battle for Cydonia is February's first Must-Have title.

    If you have any interest at all in the survival horror or zombie genres, you need Aftermath.

    Overall, Airstrike Defense is a solid line drawing game which will have you wanting to play one more round; complete one more mission.

    Mirror's Edge for the iPad, while extremely short, is one of the best titles the iPad gaming market has to offer so far.

    Modern Combat 2: Black Pegasus is one of the most complete and best games I have ever played on my device, and with such a complete online multiplayer experience and a solid single player mode, I can't see any other game really topping this, atleast for a while.
