We'll just wait here while you head on over to the App Store and add this title to your ever-growing collection of iOS games.

Back? Good. Reckless Racing 2 features 24 different tracks and a whole fleet of shiny vehicles to jump behind the wheel of. In fact, the only thing shinier than this game's selection of cars is the Pocket Gamer Gold Award that it picked up at review.

There are several different game modes to tackle here, too, including a Career mode, an Arcade mode, and a Single Event mode. That last one features Race, Hot Lap, and Elimination challenges.

Want to be Thor? Of course you do. He's worshipped as a god, carries around a massive hammer, and is also pretty hot (according to my girlfriend), after all.

In Marvel Entertainment's spin-off iOS game, you take on the role of the buff (according to my girlfriend) hammer-wielding lightning lover and - with the help of your allies - protect Odin's Kingdom of Asgard from invading forces.

Thor: Son of Asgard for iPhone and iPad features an original story penned by Marvel writer Bryan J.L. Glass, and comic panels by Marvel artist Ron Lim. It's the real deal, basically.
