Azkend HD is an addictive match-three puzzler in which you drag your finger across your device's screen in order to match three or more similar objects and return a strange relic to the Temple of Time.

There are two different game modes to tackle - Adventure and Survival - and a whole bunch of Game Center achievements to unlock.

At review, we handed the iPhone version of Azkend a shiny Pocket Gamer Silver Award, so we suggest you take this opportunity to download this excellent puzzler.

Penguin Rush! is a vertically scrolling game that charges you with reclaiming the precious golden eggs that you stupidly lost. Yes, that YOU lost.

There are numerous vehicles and power-ups spread throughout this game that will help you achieve your goal, such as snowmobiles, iron penguin suits, and even a fire-breathing dragon.

Apple's Game Center is baked right into this application, so you can compete on leaderboards with other players from around the world.
