What’s it about? Use your iOS device to control your computer even when you’re playing games or doing other things using ROCCAT’s Power Grid software.
What’s cool? ROCCAT is a company that makes computer gaming accessories, and its latest offering, Power-Grid, is an app built to make controlling your PC easier even mid-game. The app pairs with software you can download for free to your PC to give you remote control of the computer from your iOS device while it’s running other programs, and you can use ROCCAT’s “grids” to set up custom controls for your phone that let you keep an eye on Twitter, adjust things like volume or screen settings, or even control the specific game you’re playing.

Combat Monsters (Free)
What’s it about? A turn-based card battle game, Combat Monsters uses 3-D graphics to make your battles feel more engaging and realistic.
What’s cool? Technically, Combat Monsters is something of a mix between a card battling game in which players create a deck of special cards to use in turn-based battle, and a tactical board game. The cards represent different monsters, and playing them summons the monsters to do battle on your behalf against an opponent. Where Combat Monsters distinguishes itself is in making the battle portions of the game fully animated in 3-D – so while you’ll still gather cards together and apply strategy to which monsters you keep in your deck and which you pass up, you’ll also need to use your tactical sense on the board. You’ll also employ cards that make your monsters more powerful, cast spells that attack your enemies more directly, and more. You can play Combat Monsters against players on PC or other iOS devices, or just play alone to complete the game’s single-player campaign.
Who’s it for? Fans of card battle games will want to check out Combat Monsters’ take on the genre and its cross-platform multiplayer options.
