Oh what a week it's been. No, seriously, I think this might have been the best game for iPhone and iPad games in a very long time. There have been some real classics-in-waiting out this week, and that makes my job quite a lot easy.
Well, sort of, because I've had to cut the list of really good games down to just five for this list. Don't worry though, I've managed it, because that's the sort of professional, content-focused writer I am. No, really, it is.
You can click on the emboldened names of the games below to download them. And if you have to choose just one, well I'd suggest not choosing just one and getting all of them. No, seriously, they're all flippin' great.
Cosmic Express - £4.99 / $4.99
A space-based train simulator that's all about getting aliens from A to B. Except it's actually much more complex than that. You need to puzzle your way through track-laying challenges, catering to an ever changing customer base of weird cosmic critters.

Ticket to Earth - £3.99 / $3.99
It's not just another puzzling RPG, it's a puzzling RPG that does things in its own unique way. Move across a grid of coloured squares to charge up your attacks, then whomp radiation-infected cockroaches, angry robots, and escaping prisoners.

Golf, but not as we know it. Part hardcore platformer, part bullet-time infused chip and putt, all beautiful insanity. Super tough in places, but with a great aesthetic and a compulsion loop that pushes you to keep trying until that ball goes in the hole.

Euclidean Lands - £2.99 / $2.99
Imagine of Square Enix's GO games taking places on a Rubik's Cube, and you're about half way to getting to grips with this clever puzzling adventure. Move yourself and the levels, attack guards, and try to figure out the best way to get to the exit.

The Big Journey - £1.99 / $1.99
Play as an adorable cat on a quest for dumplings. You roll around the screen, twonking enemies with your big cat butt, and trying to stuff as many tasty treats into your gob as you can. It's sort of like Badland meets Man vs Food, but with a cat.
