There are two different kinds of match three games in Hidden Wonders of the Depths HD: one where you swap two tiles, and another where you tap on groups of three or more of the same kind. To win the level you have to make matches in certain spots before the timer runs out. The other game is a mix of mahjong and memory where you have to make matches but you can only use the tiles that are on top.

Appidemic: Blaster X HD for iPad

Blaster X HD

“Over 400 levels of mental addiction” sounds more like a diagnosis to me than a promotional point, but that’s how 2GMG advertises Blaster X HD. Accurate? I can’t verify the 400 levels just yet, but the mental addiction part is spot-on in this exceptionally unique and quite gorgeous arcade puzzler.

Appidemic: Sorcery! for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch

Sorcery!

Before there were interactive ebooks, there was interactive fiction—books that put you into the story by breaking the narrative into decision points where you made a choice on how to proceed. Steve Jackson’s Sorcery! series blended interactive fiction with roleplaying by introducing randomized combat and magic. The first of the four books—The Shamutanti Hills—is available now for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.

Appidemic: LEGO Batman: DC Superheroes for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch

LEGO Batman: DC Superheroes

I suppose the great thing about Batman is that he works on multiple levels. He works when he’s sad and carrying a bomb on a helicopter, he works when he’s goofy and carrying a bomb over his head, and he works when he’s a LEGO minifig faced with plastic bombs. The only time Batman doesn’t entirely work, I’ve come to realize, is in LEGO Batman: DC Superheroes when he’s being controlled by a touchscreen device.

To do this, she’ll need the help of a dead Swede, an IKEA manual, a saw, a frozen glove…you know the routine. Runaway: A Twist of Fate is a point and click adventure game where the only thing more bizarre than the characters are the ways in which you use the items in your inventory.
