1. Where's My Water
This marvellous offering from Disney is one of the most challenging, entertaining, clever, original, absorbing, beautiful and fun games that I have ever played on the iPad. And the fantastic thing is, that Disney keeps adding on the levels (at no extra cost) and have now created a series of mini-movies which you can view on YouTube. Your mission is to help Swampy the alligator, (and his nemesis, Cranky) to take a bath, but the pipes are blocked and the water just won't flow! You need to put your thinking cap on as you figure out the best way to route the water, through different pipes, past numerous obstacles and chemicals and using a variety of switches, valves, fans and other devices to get Swampy's water flowing as quickly as possible. Tri-duck every level and collect all hidden treasures to unlock extra mini-games. This a such a cute, quirky game that I simply can't stop gushing about it. No pun intended!

2. World Series of Poker (WSOP)
This exciting, on-line, multi-player poker game from Electronic Arts (EA) is as addictive as it is fun. The fact that you play with real people makes it unpredictable and entertaining, especially if you get a table full of chatty, friendly players all trying to out-wit and out-play each other. You can choose to buy chips to play with (from $2.99 for 750 000 chips to $99.99 for 112 000 000) or you can play conservatively using the 15 000 free chips you receive when you set up your profile (as well as the free daily bonus chips all players receive). Boost your chip count by making lots of friends and sending them free chips every day. You automatically receive free chips in return when they accept your gifts! You can either sign on as a guest (and use an avatar and remain anonymous) or sign in using your Facebook account. Featuring two styles of poker - both Texas Hold 'Em and Omaha, WSOP is a free app that is beautifully designed and easy to use.

3. The Timebuilders - Pyramid Rising II
The Timebuilders - Pyramid Rising II is as cute and quirky as it's predecessor and just as much fun. Join Pharaoh Touti and Hapu the priest in building 8 fabulous temples to avoid the end of the world as foretold by a mysterious papyrus scroll. With 40 gorgeous levels, Pyramid Rising II features smooth game play, rich graphics and a new addition, The 12 labours - extra levels that challenge you to build your own Sphinx. Managing a series of building projects from simple homes to banks and temples, while dodging thieves and bartering with greasy traders, is all in a days work. Both challenging and entertaining, this game makes my list of all-time favourite iPad games.
4. Osmos
This has got to be one of the most challenging and creative games available on the iPad! With gorgeous graphics, beautiful music, and extremely smooth gameplay, Osmos is a sumptuous feast for those looking for a brain burning and entertaining gaming experience. The basic premise is to turn your sphere into the largest on the screen by absorbing orbs that are smaller than you. Involving physics, careful planning and cunning strategy skills, Osmos is addictive. And the higher the level, the more challenging and intense it becomes (and the higher your frustration levels!). Propel your sphere towards your target by tapping it in the opposite direction to where you want to go. This causes your sphere to eject matter into the atmosphere while moving you forward, so extreme caution and planning is required so that you don't end up becoming smaller than your prey who can in turn absorb you! With 72 levels and three modes of play - Odyssey, Arcade and new Multiplayer function - Osmos will keep you occupied for some time!
