Rethink ($1.99)

RethinkWhats it about? Task-tracking app Rethink allows you to create context-specific reminders, like location-based notifications to remind you to buy certain things at the store.

Whats cool? Getting timed reminders can be handy, but just being reminded to buy milk at 1 p.m. doesn't mean you'll remember as you walk into a store. Rethink tries to bridge the gap on reminders by creating context-specific notifications you can set it to remind you to buy something when you walk into the appropriate store, or to send a certain message when you open up your email or texting app. There are lots of options for setting up your reminders, and you can sync them with your calendar to set up dates and times as well.

Whos it fo r? If you're a fan of capturing everything with your iPhone or iPad, Mobli will help you do it, as well as help you share it.

Ravensword: Shadowlands ($6.99)

Ravensword: ShadowlandsWhats it about? Adventure through the a huge 3-D world in third-person role-playing title Ravensword: Shadowlands, the sequel to Aralon: Sword and Shadow

Whats cool? Ravensword is something like a mobile equivalent to the well-loved E lder Scrolls V: Skyrim on PC. With a third-person viewpoint, you control a warrior as you complete quests, fight enemies, and wield magic and swords to your advantage through a huge world. Ravensword packs some high-quality graphics and is a fairly huge title, allowing you to do everything from gather and cast magical spells, to riding horses and even flying mounts. There are a number of other skills you'll need to master, like lockpicking and stealth, and how you choose to interact with the world (such as by stealing from people) affects your reputation with characters in the game. Ravensword is a huge, full-fledged RPG, and worthy of attention.

Whos it for? Fans of titles like Skyrim will find a whole lot to love in Ravensword.

Whats it like? Aralon: Sword and Shadow is also worth a look, as is Paper M onsters, another title from developer Crescent Moon Games.
