Puzzle and Dragons - has grabbed me as a free to play energy based game, get a team of monsters and train them up to fight in dungeons using a match 3 board to attack / heal, a game like this I find good for just firing out before you sleep.
The Infinity Blade series still looks impressive and though quite simple can keep you entertained for a good long time as you try to get the full weird story out of it. tap left/right to dodge enemies attacks and strike back by comboing slashes of your finger across the enemy in a one on one duel.
Kairosoft games - are fantastic but you need only 1 or 2 of them as they're the same formula repeated with a different them, they're either a take on game dev story or a take on hot springs story. in the game dev style one you set up a company that produces products and hires employees with stats that help contribute to how good your product is, in the hot springs story style games you set up some kind of store and then kit out your new hot spring / mall / floating space station with buildings to accommodate needs and profit.
The Room - is a wonderfully eerie puzzle game that just looks great even on the small screen of the Iphone, with some good headphones on you can lose yourself in it for a good 2 hours, short yes but a good experience.
Home - is also a creepy ride that despite the fact that I've only put 10-20 minutes into seems very intriguing and well worth a look if you enjoy the silent hill 'demakes' like last survivor. A very simple control scheme and it seems to focus on setting.
Super Hexagon - Is a simple idea done brilliantly and can be enjoyably difficult but not in a frustrating way. simply tap either side of the screen to move a small marker around a central point to avoid walls as they encroach on the centre of the screen.
Letterpress - If you have someone to play it with is a good bet. Plays like turn based boggle but by using a letter you score with that letter and tag it your colour, surround a letter with your colour and you'll lock it down so your opponent can't score using that letter. the sort of game that you can play a round in 20 minutes or over weeks.
That's some that come to my mind immediately, tried to give an idea of what each game entails but keep it short. I've unfortunately no experience with the experience style games of year walk and device 6 so someone else can speak to those better. Hope you find some good suggestions.
