Every week, Pocket Gamer sister site Quality Index (Qi) highlights the newest games to make a critical splash in the cool, seductive waters of the iOS pool.

Grabbing scores and opinions from all corners of the web, including from 148Apps, AppGamer, and Macworld, Qi answers all your iPhone-related questions before you've even asked them.

Today, we're going to focus on two new contenders vying to be crowned king of your iPhone. Both are worthy, but do they have what it takes to win your head, your heart, and your wallet?

Inspector Ghoul

Dead on arrival this week at the #9 spot on the Qi chart is post-mortem point-and-click iPhone puzzler Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective.

This truly unique take on the genre puts you in the recently deceased shoes of Sissel, who has to solve his own murder by preventing the deaths of other unfortunate souls.

You have four minutes to determine how each victim was dispatched, and you endeavour to alter his / her terminal fate by using your ghostly abilities to stop the murder from taking place.

On reviewing Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective, Pocket Gamer stated: "If you missed this peerless cult classic on DS, do not let it pass you by again."

Start your engines

Screeching past 9th position and motoring into 2nd place is top-down tyre-squealer Reckless Racing 2 for the iPhone.

A pocket racer with pedigree, this perfectly mixed cocktail of speed and burnt rubber has quickly overtaken the competition to become one of the highest-rated driving games on iOS.

With 18 cars and 24 routes to choose from, oodles of tuning options to select from, and online multiplayer to occupy you, Reckless Racing 2 will have you tearing up the track till your thumbs beg for mercy.
