City of Wonder:
Gamers looking to get some SimCity style gaming on without breaking the bank have a great free option. City of Wonder starts players off with a tiny village and gives them the tools to grow it into a sprawling metropolis. There are hundreds of buildings to build, destroy, or just sit back and admire. No city would be complete without resource management and factories to increase wealth. Time to put on that mayor hat and produce the best city around.

Cosmic Code:
Cosmic Code is a new spin on the classic matching style game. Start off with a game in which players will fight enemies based off local points of interest in their own town. Next, throw in hidden bosses and 100+ items to collect, and this game becomes highly addictive. After all, nobody wants aliens invading their local Starbucks!

Strike Knight:
Gamers looking to mix up their shuffleboard experience have a bit of hope thanks to Strike Knight. This game takes the familiarity of shuffleboard, throws on some bowling mechanics and ships it off to iOS devices everywhere. All the player has to do is slide a puck down the board and topple as many bowling pins as possible, without getting frustrated at the heckling knight and crowd. Who needs a smoky bar now?

Slug Bugs:
Slug Bugs is a cut little game in which players mug "slug" VW Bugs as they go whizzing across the screen. The only hitch to all this madness is cop cars will try and break up the fun. The game promises some of the best audio around with Ghost 3D providing a thrilling 360-degree audio package. No more sore shoulders from playing this game during long car trips to grannies house!

FishLord:
FishLord allows gamers to hit the lake without the arduous tasks of applying sunblock, dealing with boat launches, or falling off a rocky boat. This game comes with four islands and 17 stages to fish and explore. Explore the deep blue sea and discover all the hidden treasures buried deep in its depths. No sunburn equals a happy fisher.
