Hailed as one of the best war action games of all-time, Modern Combat is back with its third installment, which promises to take game playing to a whole new level. The game requires 1.37 GB of free space on your device, for its crisp graphics and superior sound quality.

N.O.V.A. 3 Gameloft $6.99
N.O.V.A. 3: Near Orbit Vanguard Alliance is the third installment of the N.O.V.A. series published by the renowned French video game developer, Gameloft. In this first-person shooter, you have 12-player battles in 7 multiplayer modes at your disposal. You get to choose from several different weapons and powers in your quest, which is to save mankind on the war-torn planet Earth. So, this time you―as Kal Wardin―fight in 10 different levels across the galaxy. If the graphics, storyline, and multiplayer action were good in N.O.V.A. 2, they simply get better in N.O.V.A. 3.
Real Racing 3 Electronic Arts Free
If you love speed, and love the smell of burnt rubber, then is the game for you. Real Racing 3 follows close on the heels of its hugely popular predecessor - Real Racing 2. This time around, the excitement, and fun are pushed up a notch, with graphics that are so crisp and detailed, that you will want to reach out and touch your mobile screen.

This is arguably the best car racing game available on any mobile platform today.
Minecraft: Pocket Edition Price:$6.99
Minecraft has always been about building things and going on adventures. But what good is building and adventuring without your friends? Thankfully, Minecraft: Pocket Edition is a crossplatform, multi-player game, that you and your friends can enjoy on both iPhones as well as Androids. The idea behind the development of the Pocket Edition was simple: to bring to mobile phones and other popular portable devices, one of the most fun and popular PC games ever. Now, if it wasn't obvious from the name itself, this game offers only a fraction of what the PC version does. The world is smaller, the enemy mobs are limited in number, and are much less dangerous. Yet, it offers many of the exciting features of the original game. You can craft items, build shelters to keep yourself safe at night, and enjoy building and exploring the familiar blocky world, with your friends and family for hours together.
Super Stickman Golf 2 Price: $0.99
Well quite frankly, compared to the others on this list, Super Stickman Golf 2 is a rather ridiculous game. Its cartoony graphics and strictly functional scenery will leave you less than impressed at first, but play this game for some time, and soon enough it will have you 'super stuck' to it for hours on end! Super Stickman Golf 2 is a sequel to its critically acclaimed, award-winning predecessor, and trust us, it is better than the first one in all respects. It has more levels, more trick shots, more online players, more hats etc., compared to the previous one. It allows cross-platform game-play between the iOS and Android so that you can enjoy it with all your friends. The 250 holes, 32 dynamic moving courses, powerups, fast-paced arcade experience, local and online multiplayer, race-mode multiplayer etc., all make it one of the most exciting games in the market. No wonder then that it made it to the Apple's Best of 2013 App Store list.
Now that you have a list of games to choose from, get your gaming gear out, garner your forces, and let the games begin! Cheers.
