Best iPhone and iPad games this week!!!!!

 Best iPhone and iPad games this week!!!!!

Supernauts has been a long time coming: the first game from hotly-tipped Finnish publisher Grand Cru. It's a little bit Minecraft, in the way you craft buildings from raw materials, with elements of city-building and resource management games. You build a space-base, complete missions to rescue Earthlings, and play and chat with friends over the network. Early days, but this could be a big hit.
iPhone / iPad
Wartune: Hall of Heroes (Free + IAP)
I was once given a demo of Wartune at a press event held by publisher Kabam, by someone who'd unlocked pretty much everything in this massively-multiplayer game that blends battles with city-building. It looked mind-bogglingly baffling, but playing from the start opens up its features at a manageable pace. It's still hardcore, but looks worth the investment in time (and, yes, in in-app purchases should you so desire).
iPhone / iPad
Enigma Express (Free + IAP)
Over to British developer Relentless, for its latest polished hidden-object game. You have to search locations around the world for various objects, enjoying the scenery, storyline and music along the way. It's neatly integrated with Apple's AirPlay – this genre works very well projected onto a TV screen with nearby friends or family members helping (or, indeed, hindering you).
iPhone / iPad
World of Tanks Blitz (Free + IAP)
And now... war! A wargame from Wargaming.net, based on its existing massively multiplayer online PC game, but created for iOS as a standalone spin-off. It sees you choosing tanks (from the US, Germany and USSR in times gone by) battling other humans across a varied set of environments, upgrading your army as you go.
iPhone / iPad
Civil War: 1864 (£2.99)
The second polished war-game this week, this focuses on the American Civil War – part of a series from developer Hunted Cow Studios – with 40 missions based on real battles, and accessible gameplay and controls to make the game appealing for more than just experienced virtual generals.
iPhone / iPad
Monty Python's The Ministry of Silly Walks (£0.99)
And now for something completely diff... Well, you see where I'm heading. This is the first official Monty Python game for iOS: an endless runner where the running is silly walking based on one of the comedy troupe's most famous sketches. John Cleese provides voice acting, while the rag-doll physics are good for a few laughs.
iPhone / iPad
Monsters Ate My Birthday Cake (£2.99)
This game's by Cartoon Network: the latest in a burst of mobile gaming from the TV channel. It's a puzzle game populated by colourful monsters, each with their own special powers to help you navigate through levels – pushing lots of blocks as you go. It's very addictive.
iPhone / iPad
The Rhythm of Fighters (£0.69 + IAP)
Here's a genre to conjure with: "Fighting x Music". This game comes from SNK Playmore, working in elements of its famed beat 'em up series The King of Fighters, with rhythm-based musical gameplay as you tap in time to tunes to make your character fight.
iPhone
Wokamon - Virtual Pet Pedometer (Free)
Here's something strange but potentially captivating: a fitness-focused virtual pet game. The idea: you do lots of walking in the real world, and your Wokamon beastie grows faster, with you unlocking more as you go. It works with devices like Fitbit and Jawbone's Up, as well as Facebook's Moves app – if you're already tracking your steps.
