The developer revived the 1980’s classic with a unique twist as it includes brand new features for your tablet or mobile phone. Outwit ghosts with more than a dozen power-ups and stay always one step ahead of The Glitch. It is probably one of the better Pac-Man games to date with an excellent balance of modern and classic gameplay elements. Just like the original, it is addictive. For the modern-day gamers, it is free-to-play but it is honest and does not take advantage of your wallet. Lovely tribute to one of the classics that you should try.

A must-have game as it offers an immersive adventure.
Sage Solitaire (Free)
This card puzzle game from Zach Gage is a fresh take on Solitaire that brings together the fun and luck of traditional Klondike played on your Windows computer with the depth of a poker game. The title just looks amazing, the sound effects add a good vibe and its gameplay is challenging enough. If you thought it’s going to be just a quick game, think again. It could eat up hours as this iPhone and iPad game is that addictive. It is one of the well-designed games I’ve played this year.
