Don't Fall Off by Electronic Arts


(4/5) Don't Fall Off for the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad is an endless tilt-controlled game. You control a circular chipmunk by tilting your device left or right. The chipmunk is on a paper boat in a river, and the boat tilts along with the chipmunk. The graphics are very smooth, with a cartoony style, and retina display support. There are many different places in the world that are reachable by staying on the boat long enough. The music sounds great with the game. It doesn't make you tense, like some other endless game music does. Don't Fall Off is great for train rides, car rides, plane rides, etc. It is available on the app store for $0.99.http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/dont-fall-off/id435767277?mt=8

Catch the Candy by Bulkypix

(3.8/5) Catch the Candy for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch is a very easy game. The game itself is a good concept, with good controls, graphics, and music. You control a little monster's tongue by tapping, and eventually getting a peppermint to complete each level. The game is very short, and I was able to complete the easy, medium, and hard sections all in about  hour total. The game is very kid-friendly, and is great for young children to play. Overall, Catch the Candy is good to try if you have kids, or are bored and have $0.99 to spend. Catch the Candy is available on the app store now. http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/catch-the-candy/id429655309?mt=8

Minions by Villain LLC

(4.6/5) Minions by Villain LLC is an enjoyable first-person shooter with amazing graphics. You control a mad scientist whose minions are trying to gain power by overthrowing him. The main character is controlled with a virtual joystick, and shooting/aiming is managed by a virtual joystick on the opposite side of the movement stick. The graphics are in beautiful retina-display 3D, and the music is non-existent except for the main menu. Overall, Minions is a good FPS for people new to the genre. However, if you are a hardcore FPS player, I would pass. Minions is available on the App Store for $0.99 http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/id444404817?mt=8&ign-mpt=uo%3D4

Genesis of War by Krehol Games

(4.2/5) Genesis of War for the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad is a side-scrolling shoot-em up game. You control a special forces unit that has been sent to the foreign planet Zeebos. The controls aren't the best I've seen on an iOS game, but they work they way they are supposed to. The graphics are okay, with non-animated sprites as the characters and enemies. However, the soundtrack is great, and makes the game more enjoyable. The gun upgrade system provides some help on the more difficult levels in the game. Genesis of War is a great time-waster. I found myself playing the game for a long time before stopping, and in my opinion, Genesis of War is worth the $1.99 asking price. http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/gow/id462030771?mt=8
