Many thanks for all the recommendations (again). Just to follow up for anyone else who might find the thread in the future. So far I've picked up:

Plants v Zombies-- wife and I were up until 1 AM last night
Soosiz-- platformer, no real impression yet
Dungeon 2-- Diablo type game. Pretty fun so far.
Angry Birds Rio-- fun for the Mrs. (I'm sure I'll get hooked at some point)
Harbor Master-- Free (extra levels for a buck each). Very cool app working as a flight controller for boats
Cryptogram-- very nicely done version of my favorite type of puzzle
Jumbline 2-- very nice clone of TextTwist, which my wife and I used to play back in the day. Make as many words from 7 letters as possible. 6 letter version is free.
Infinity Field-- Vector style shooter. Probably should've just got the free "pewpew"
Tiny Wings-- Haven't played yet.
iCut Deluxe-- Free. Very cool puzzle where you cut a grid into identically shaped pieces
Words W Friends Free-- Looks like it'll be neat once they fix it so it doesn't constantly crash.
Blue Block-- Free. "meh" sliding block puzzle
Solitary Chess Free-- Free. nice little puzzle. Like the old "leave one peg game" but with chess pieces
Piczle Lines-- Free. Looks very cool and 3 free expansion packs

Thanks to everyone. Most of these were either from recommendations here, or from "people also bought" links from things recommended here. Plenty to keep me busy.
