    Propaganda Lander is my current favorite hidden gem (though perhaps not hidden for long).

    @RttaM: GAMELOFT!

    Well, it did have a feature story, and it did spend some time in the Top 100 list, so, in my book, doesn't quite qualify as "hidden." Great game, though.

    Army Wars - Non-standard RTS. Hard to describe the actual gameplay in words so I recommend looking for it on Youtube. Has some engrish issues and little ingame documentation on what the units actually do, but amazing fun nonetheless, and I hate RTS's. 2 Campaigns of 25 levels each, levels take around 3-10 minutes.

    The Magic Blackboard - Breakout in the style of an acid trip. Really. (Your paddle is a mushroom, among other fun things :)) It has something like 300 levels, with waay more variety than you'd ever expect from a breakout game. And there's a Puzzle mode with ~100 more levels! Also has 2 lite/full versions: one with ads and one in black & white. I definitely DO NOT recommend the B&W version; it takes so much away from the 'effect' :). Just buy it; it's 99c last I checked.

    A better alternative to this game is speed forge extreme. I discovered it by looking for games similar to lgr2. It has WAY better graphics and handling and is basically the same entertainment value if not more. Sfe is worth it. Lgr is not. :(

    LGR 2 is also better than LGR, but I do prefer SFE overall.

    They all pale in comparison to my precious Wipeout though.

    My favorite hidden gem game is Fly Flap. The arcade and campaign are both really challenging and fun. I'm really surprised more people arent playing this game. I play this one daily.

    I saw "propangda lander" in the featured section of Apple this week and thought it looked good. I'm glad you confirmed its good. I'll add it to the list of future buys.

    I also wanted to give props to whoever created this list and whoever mentioned Watermelon. That's a game I wanted to buy but totally forgot about it and didnt have a list at that point I learned about it.

    I hated it, worst 2 dollars I ever spent. No, wait, that was on some crappy gameloft game. Well, not that good anyways.
