Jigsaw puzzles are great for holidays, family gatherings and for passing the time at home alone, but they're not the best option for on the go entertainment, until now. Join It - Jigsaw Puzzle for iOS devices allows you to do easy to complex puzzles during long car rides, while waiting for the bus or train or while you're stuck at the airport. The app offers over 300 puzzles (500 on iPad) to choose from with a variety of features that makes it much more than a simple jigsaw puzzle game.

One of the highlights of the fourth-generation Apple TV is the Siri Remote. Compared to the previous Apple TV remote control, the Siri Remote vastly expands on its capabilities. In addition to a glass Touch surface for navigation and swipe gestures, the unit listens with dual microphones for voice commands. The Siri Remote even doubles as a gaming controller, with a built-in gyroscope and accelerometer. Apple has long offered the Remote app for iOS devices to get in on the action.

The new turn-based strategy game Artillerists takes the simple concept of Battleship and amps it up for mobile devices with big explosions, the ability to upgrade your army and more. The gameplay of Artillerists is simple -- just place your units on an isometric game board then take shots at your enemy. The first person to destroy all of their opponent's units wins. The aspect of guessing where your enemy's units are positioned makes Artillerists frustrating, in a good way, and addictive, but the game isn't entirely based on luck.
