Maybe teetering too far away from games as entertainment, but what about games that educate? Music, history, language, whatever. Are there any really good educational apps that format the content in an enjoyable way (like a game)? I'm asking for myself, though I expect much of the edutainment apps are focused toward children.

Tiny Rouge

I'm enjoying dying on level 3 every time in Pixel Dungeon.

Goo? He's a good bench mark for the game difficulty. You used to be able to kite him, but I think they patched that out.

No, just regular damage and health attrition.

In consistently terrible at these sorts of games. Those crab guys usually whoop my rear end.

Galaxy Trucker is a game where you race against your opponents to build the biggest, baddest, space ship in the galaxy, then pit yourself against a series of dice rolls that will rape you bloody no matter how well prepared you are.

It has charming graphics.

If I don't want to download them now, I'll still always have the chance as long as they're listed in my Amazon App Cloud, right?

Yeah but the poster isn't likely to check their own link again to see if it works, so how else would they know it was busted?
