Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft: Free for the iPad (Requires iOS 5.0 or later) Rated 12+
You could hear the collective groan when it was announced that Blizzard Entertainment's iPad card battling game would be free.

Luckily early reviews have indicated this is not a pay-to-win title, and fans seem to be happy with the iPad version of the game.
