Pet Pals: Plenty of Bark For Your Bucks
Pet Pals - As someone who rather pathetically longs for a dog, but finds the combination of living in an apartment and owning two cats to be somewhat of an obstacle, I have to say that Pet Pals is...well, it's not as good as a the real thing, but as far as substitutes go, it's not so bad.
Bike or Die 2: The Answer is Bike AND Die, it Appears
Bike or Die 2 - They say you never forget how to ride a bike. My question is: what about a bike simulator? I think the last video game I played that had me on a bicycle was Paperboy on original Nintendo.

The Only Thing Missing from ATC 4.0 is the Hudson River
Within a few minutes of playing Lunagames' ATC 4.0, I began to marvel at just how competent real air traffic controllers must be. Here I was, juggling only five planes in the air and still couldn't manage to keep them from colliding, missing runways and causing all sorts of mayhem.
Kronos' Action Bowling Rolls a Perfect Game
There are several bowling games in the App Store but in my opinion, none is in the same league as Action Bowling, from Kronos Games.

3-D Fighter Pilot: Guns of War Brings Dogfighter Game Back from the Past
Fighter pilot games are almost always fun and I've wasted a zillion hours playing a bunch of them over the years. DumbGames.net's 3-D Fighter Pilot: Guns of War doesn't add anything to the genre, but it plays okay.
Biiplane Offers Good Flight; Little Else
