Wordament

Platform: iOS
Price: Free

Technically this one came out over the Holiday break, but it's worth mentioning anyway: for all you cheevo hunters, Wordament offers the first time you can play a Microsoft game with authentic accolades that will register with your gamer score. It's also a free, giant game of Boggle that pits your score against the results of everyone else on the internet that's playing in real time, making regular leaderboards feel obsolete.

Jetpack Joyride

Platform: PS3
Price: Free

How often do you see worthwhile PSN games get released on the store for absolutely nothing? And the fact that it's a chance to play one of mobile gaming's top-rated games of 2012 on a console? Thought so.

Hundreds

Platform: iOS
Price: $3

Ample use of Helvetica, a minimalist color palette and lots of negative space. Seriously, design fetishists will want to download Hundreds just for the visual pop. Adam Saltsman of Canabalt fame-another artistically gorgeous title-also lent his talents to this deceptively nuanced puzzle game, so there you have it.

Retro City Rampage

Platform: Xbox 360
Price: $10

A treasure trove of great, self-aware movie and videogame references. This 8-bit love letter to GTA is probably worth it for just for the Metal Gear and Contra references alone. If you grew up in the late '80s or '90s, this game is tailor-made for you.

Gunman Clive

Platform: 3DS
Price: $2

Ever wanted Mega Man to be a little more like a moving piece of Western-themed art mimicking an old wanted poster or 19th century line drawing print, Gunman Clive should satisfy. This one only costs about as much as the original iOS version, too.
