Time is limited. Apps are plentiful.

How can you make sense of the ever-increasing number of new games in the App Store? Well, by reading Pocket Gamer, of course. But we can't possibly cover everything, and there are some games that just don't fit in our wheelhouse.

Thankfully, our friends over at 148Apps are here to save the day. Take a look at some of the casual games that have caught the attention of the 148Apps team...

Zombie Volcano
By Jared Bailey

"Zombie Volcano will provide gamers with a familiar experience to other endless side-scrolling adventures both past and present. But, whilst fun, there's little here that we haven't already seen before." (Arron Hirst)

Luxuria Superbia
By Tale of Tales

"Original, sensual, and beautiful, Luxuria Superbia is quite the experience for those willing to be open minded about it." (Jennifer Allen)

Parcel Panic 2
By Mad Processor

"Parcel Panic 2 lacks the excitement necessary for it to live up to its name in this playable but uneventful driving game." (Lee Hamlet)

King's League: Odyssey
By Gamenauts

"Combining RPG and management sensibilities, King's League: Odyssey is an entertaining if unthreatening title." (Jennifer Allen)

Tiger & Chicken
By Deutsche Telekom

"From the first episode Tiger & Chicken is a remarkable, extremely solid adventure that deserves to be played and recognized for the masterpiece that it is." (Lucy Ingram)

Square Off
By Gnomic Studios

"A variation on an old theme, Square Off succeeds at what it attempts but doesn't warrant a purchase." (Chris Kirby)

Chicken Boy
By Funtomic

"It gets samey, but that doesn't stop throwing fruit at monsters in Chicken Boy from being quite entertaining." (Jennifer Allen)

Tank Nation
By Wormhole Games

"The war is on! Tank Nation blasts its way up the app store charts with explosive artillery and competitive combat." (Stacy Barnes)

All this, plus Jeff Scott lists all of the biggest holiday season sales, Carter Dotson reviews the sometimes-intricate setup of iCloud keychain, and also takes a sneak peak at Rovio's new Angry Birds Go!

Chris is a little frightened that he is the oldest writer on the 148Apps staff, but maybe there's someone else out there who remembers when a Mac Plus was cutting edge and the Newton was nothing short of miraculous.
