    I create awesome paper airplanes that I will sell
    Here
    Not sure how "unknown" some of these games are but:
    Tactical Warrior (weak graphically, but everything else is pretty nice)
    Scribblenauts Remix (fairly well known but a really fun DS port)
    Sleepy Jack (intro price, mixed genre, part tunnel shooter, part shmup)
    Pix'n Love Rush (really fun platformer, different style of play, not everyone's cup of tea)
    Quarrel Deluxe (RISK meets Scrabble, very well polished)
    Death Rally (amazingly fun racing game, very well known though)
    Shake Spears (cool jousting game)
    Most of these aren't amazingly well known outside this site, so maybe you haven't seen a lot of them...

    Would also highly recommend Death Rally, couldn't stop playing till i had everything done.

    Jetpack Joyride is simple but also a massive addiction.

    Real Racing 2 HD, nice graphs and also very good gameplay

    If you had 2.99 I'd tell you to get Lego Harry Potter (20+ hours of playtime). Sonic and Sega All Stars Racing is pretty good, along with Death Rally, or even real racing 2, since both have multiplayer. Scribblenauts has decent replay value (fairly short level-wise, but has a playground mode that lets you create whatever you want). NOVA 2 (shooter) also has multiplayer. Bike Baron has some great replay value to it as well....

    RPG: Aralon (for sure)
    Shooter: NOVA 2
    Action: Spiderman, Death Rally (it's an action racer, so possibly worth checking out)
    Word: Quarrel Deluxe (RISK meets scrabble), Scrabble, Words with Friends
    Special Mention: LEGO Harry Potter Years 1-4, it's not .99 but you won't regret the buy, especially if you like the Lego games.. (20+ hours if you try to get everything in each "level"). Awesome game, one of iOS's best, and on sale for 2.99, the lowest it ever goes...

    I haven't played Pocket RPG yet, but I can honestly say that Mage Gantlet is one the of my absolute favorite games to ever grace my iPod.

    I'd personally choose NBA Jam, but they are both great games.

    The only one that I can recommend from that list is Rolando 2. Fantastic platformer even if it's a little dated.

    I'll probably get Blueprint 3D later and I'll reply with whether or not it has my stamp of approval.

    You forgot Dark Meadow. That game is really awesome.
    I would say IB 2 too, but it has a lot of bugs. I won't be talking about the framerate in A4... buff...

    I haven't been on in a couple of days because of Christmas, but I found a pretty awesome new app last night. Well, I guess it wasn't that hard to find since it's in the top 25, but I rarely ever check the AppStore since being on TA.

    Anyways, it's called Animoog and it's a pretty awesome synthesizer app. Apparently, it's created by Moog who is a pretty big/top company in the synth world. It's sorta taken me away from playing all the games I got because it's just so cool to make the crazy and unique sounds and then overdub them.

    I'm not really a musician but I have a fascination with music (especially synth and dubstep). The app is pretty overwhelming especially for a newbie (which i pretty much am). I'd make 1 wrong change and my song was completely messed up with no understanding how to fix it.

    The only problem with it is the that you can only make 20 second samples. It's kind of annoying since, like i said, I'm not a musician and don't have production software to export to. So, I'm currently looking into some free software or something. Hopefully they update the sampling time or at least offer an IAP for more production type stuff.

    Oh yeah, it has an Anisotropic Synth Engine which shows you the waves and orbitals from the sounds you make. It's interactive and awesome. This is probably the coolest part in the app for me.
