If you like word puzzle games, you’re going to love WordBrain from MAG Interactive. The premise sounds simple enough as you just need to unscramble the words, which you do by sliding your hand over it.

Angry Birds was the game that put mobile gaming on the map, and several titles based on the hit have appeared. Now Rovio has released the sequel to the original, Angry Birds 2, and it’s a good one.

Mountain Goat Mountain by Zynga is variation of the endless runner game, except this time it’s sort of an endless climber.
