Price: 0.00
Description: It's time to blast off!

Kids and adults alike will enjoy spending time with this extreme pet puffle and riding along with him on a high-adrenaline journey as he gets the snacks back that were stolen by the evil crab boss.
Analysis: Just based on the physics of this game, it recalls Angry Birds for me, though there's a bit more gameplay than one swipe and one touch. It's also interesting that this app was developed by Disney, who you can always count on to wade into new territory sooner or later.

Rating: 4.4 stars over 484 reviews
Price: 0.99
Description: Those Greedy Spiders have set up a diabolical trap for their bug neighbors. With the help of an out-of-the-way bar, a sign, a few musical instruments, and some clever disguises, they now have the bugs right where they want them: in their webs.
Analysis: Puzzle games like this are deceptively simple, making them incredibly popular, but they also have a huge amount of detail put into them. Part of what sucks you into games like this is the desire to get the next weapon and see what it does, whether its scissors or fire, and that keeps you playing to the next level. Playing this game once may very well get you caught in its web.

Rating: 3.3 stars over 57 reviews

Description: Bejeweled is back! The casual game that became a phenomenon a few years ago on the Web returns with this engaging sequel from the folks at PopCap Games. As you may know by now, Bejeweled is an immensely popular matching puzzle game with a great interface and addicting gameplay.
Analysis: The first time I saw Bejeweled was almost a decade ago, and it completely trashed everything I knew about gaming. It was just a new kind of Tetris. No amazing graphics, no long, drawn out levels or stories. But here's the thing: people couldn't stop playing it. This is the sequel to the game that invented casual gaming, and here's your chance to find out what it's all about.
