Ion Racer is a WipEout-esque action-packed racer in which you customise a futuristic anti-gravity craft and let it loose around several tracks.

The multipliers you earn as you speed around each of the game's stages help you to compete against your buddies for places on Game Center leaderboards.

In Pocket Ninjas, you slash on your device's screen with your finger in order to bat away shurikens, stop geishas, block deadly sushi, and protect a ninja from harm.

Your ninja, should he survive the waves of brutal attacks, can be upgraded with new looks, weapons, and abilities.
