The best PAID iOS games this week

Devastator: $1.99 (iPad, iPhone)

A twin-stick shooter from Radiangames, the creator of JoyJoy and Super Crossfighter. You'll get three difficulty levels, 50 waves and 12 enemy types for your chump change. Winner. Buy.

Worms 4 $4.99 (iPad, iPhone)

Shane reckons this is the best Worms on iOS, and I'm not going to argue. It's got a weapon called Hailey's Comet and "more than a hundred" weapon upgrades. You jump around a 2D map shooting other worms. You probably know by now whether or not this is your bag.

Power Ping Pong: $4.99 (iPad, iPhone)

Play ping pong as a panda, a sumo wrestler or many other "crazy characters". Swipe to bat. Looks a bit like Fruit Ninja with sport. Made by Chillingo. Really quite good.

The best FREE iOS games this week

Seashine (iPad, iPhone)

Neat game about exploring underwater caves with a cool light-based dynamic. Float the wrong way and you get eaten. Pretty and fun. Pretty fun.

Blocky Highway (iPad, iPhone)

Blocky graphic and enjoyable, daft gameplay. Drive through traffic, collect coins, get new cars. Try not to take your day too seriously, you know?

Star Wars: Uprising (iPad, iPhone)

It's Star Wars, it isn't awful and it's free. Uprising is an RPG set between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens. Apparently this has "the usual FTP frustrations," but no one's forcing you to spend your goddamn money. Stop moaning. Shoot and storm trooper or two and delete it.
