Angry Birds Go! (Racing/Sport). What is the difference between the regular version of Angry Birds and this one, you ask? A whole lot. There’s not much you can’t do with Angry Birds Go! and that includes a world of fun for days and then some. This carting game is quite impressive what with its smooth interface, easy manoeuvring, and inclusion of familiar characters that feel like reuniting with old friends.
Cut the Rope 2 (Puzzle). While this isn’t the first sequel of Cut the Rope to come along, this one has a special feel to it and as such it deserves proper recognition. Here we have 120 levels of nonstop action as you slash rope after rope after rope and try to fatten up Om Nom the monster and satisfy his sweet tooth. Cut the Rope 2 also introduces several new elements to the game to keep it progressive.
Blackbar (Strategy). If you’re a fan of games that will keep you guessing for days, Blackbar is it. Sharp, strategic and at times downright frustrating, it’s no wonder this game made a serious splash this year. Here, censorship is the name of the game and your primary task is to solve the puzzles by guessing what words lie beneath the black marks. Without a doubt, this game will stay with you long after you’ve put down your iPad.
FIFA 14 by EA SPORTS (Racing/Sport). Every soccer fan (or not) who owns an iPad probably went crazy this year over the iOS version of FIFA 14. Released free for all with in-app purchases made available, the game became far more accessible to fans this year. Fast action, dozens of licensed players, and intuitive touch screen controls abound in FIFA 14.
Tiny Games (Action). It would be a serious challenge to think of a game released this year that tops Tiny Games in terms of ingenuity. It’s absolutely brilliant in that regardless of whether you’re in the company of three or ten, Tiny Games, based on your location will find something for you and your companions to do that will surely keep everyone entertained. Tiny Games also utilizes the objects that are available to you at that moment. Here’s one way you can wield your iPad in social interactions without appearing rude or anti-social.
Dots: A Game about Connecting (Puzzle). Any self-respecting iPad game aficionado can attest to the addictiveness of Dots.
