Title: Riven: The Sequel to Myst
Price: $5.99

Riven is a classic point-and-click adventure game filled with puzzles and a definite classic. The original game, Myst, is also available on iOS for $4.99. The download for Riven clocks in at around 1GB so be prepared to stay in WiFi range for a while. Both games were ported by the original developer, Cyan Worlds.
Price: $6.99
Developed for: iPhone and iPad (Universal)
Description:
Aralon is an ambitious RPG project by Crescent Moon Games and Galoobeth Games. It promises tons of customization, RPG action, and over 35 hours of gameplay. It also looks great!

Price: $9.99

Description:
2D BOY's amazing indie puzzle game, World of Goo, is now available as an iPad application. It also helps that it looks amazing running on the iPad and fits in nicely with the device's touch interface. Some hands-on gameplay footage can be viewed below courtesy of TouchArcade.

Firemint's racing sequel is getting a massive upgrade over the original, especially if you've got an iPhone 4 with the snazzy Retina Display. The game features 16 car races between 30 officially licensed cars, a career mode with 10 hours of gameplay, and local and online multiplayer.

This port of Battlefield: Bad Company 2 features 14 campaign missions and four-player online multiplayer. It probably isn't going to be as good as some of the other games on this list (or its PC/console brother), but it's releasing for just 99 cents!

(Releasing tonight)
Price: $6.99

The PC, PSN, and XBLA game featuring Lara Croft and Totec is coming to the iPhone out of no where! I'm not sure how it will play on the iPhone, but it's definitely worth checking out if you're a fan of the franchise.

getting Dungeon Defenders, not so sure about World of Goo at that price considering I already own it.
Bad Company doesn't look or play like BC on PC/Consoles, not that interested from what I've seen. That Lara Croft game looks like it has virtual analog sticks which is lame.
