Spider: The Secret of Bryce Manor (1.79 GBP)

Arachnophobes need not apply; Spider puts you in the role of a spider investigating an abandoned mansion. A unique premise indeed and it truly is beautifully made. Throughout the game you must spin webs in order to capture food so that you can make it to the next level. Spider is simply beautiful to look at with 28 hand-drawn levels to traverse as well as a distinctly memorable soundtrack. It's the sort of game that, like Braid on the and PC, really shows just how clever indie games can be.

Tap Tap Revenge (free)

Music rhythm games are a huge craze, as we all know, so it makes perfect sense that the App Store has one too. Tap Tap Revenge is modelled after Dance Dance Revolution rather than the likes of when it comes to how to play. Players tap coloured balls when they reach the bottom of the screen in time with the music. Songs included with the game range from the likes of the Kaiser Chiefs, Nine Inch Nails and a whole host of independent artists. Ultimately, Tap Tap Revenge is a terrifically fun title and for free, it really can't be resisted.

Toy Bot Diaries Compilation (2.39 GBP)

The Toy Bot Diaries series of games is a harsh reminder to many of us that games can be surprisingly tough. They also happen to demonstrate just how clever games can be. Using the accelerometer to wonderful extents, you are Toy Bot; a little cute robot who is trying to regain his memory. He has to traverse various levels through the use of his magnetic boots and grappling hook. All the controls are centred on the accelerometer with swinging being conducted by moving the device itself. Accurate movements are essential to succeed in this game and be warned, it's not for the faint hearted. This game will infuriate, but it is also tremendous value offering all three Toy Bot instalments in one easy package.

Wolfenstein (1.19 GBP)

Wolfenstein 3D has been hailed as the first game to popularise the first-person genre, and rightly so. It was a very enjoyable with you playing BJ Blazkowicz as he escapes Castle and overthrows the Nazi regime all by himself. Gameplay was very simple by today's standards with basic weapons and a simple aim to shoot anything that moves but it was, and still is, tremendous fun. The iPhone adaptation is a perfect conversion of this classic and the touch controls work extremely effectively throughout.

Wolfenstein (1.79 GBP)

In a similar vein to the previous title, Wolfenstein RPG is very much like Wolfenstein 3D albeit in RPG form and with a graphical update. Long gone are the days of the sprite, instead everything looks a bit prettier here. As well as that, combat has changed to turn-based with numerous items to collect and notes to read. It's a surprisingly in-depth first person RPG and is ideal for dropping in and out of during commutes.

Zenonia (1.79 GBP)

For those of you who have many happy memories of playing The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, Zenonia truly is a must buy. Just looking at the screenshots demonstrates just how familiar this will be to many of you. It features the tale of Regret, a young man trying to figure out the reason behind his father's death and to stop an evil demon. Featuring real-time combat and many, many sidequests Zenonia feels distinctly like a game, luckily it also has the quality of the series. It even has a class-based skill tree and a choice of three different class types. Zenonia will last the average player 30-40 hours with plenty to do, so for 1.79 GBP it really is a bargain.
