This also requires me to hang around and that I would not do.
I would much prefer the list of hits where every game is a jewel; a list that doesn't get washed in the toilet like reddit does.
But app stores are a waste and there seems to be no independent (tablet) game review sites with any decent coverage (as in having every jewel on top; not as in reviewing every new piece of crap in one long blog)

I don't think it's possible, because perception of art is often subjective. Surely, some titles are more universally liked than others. But there is no way to make a universal list like that which can satisfy everyone. That's why hearing several opinions can help to get more perspectives.
I don't do tablet gaming much really, since I don't find the vast majority of mobile games to be interesting. I'm playing most games on PC which allows more complex scenarios and richer user interfaces. Mobile is still quite limiting and it cripples most of the games there.
This is very much possible.

This list consists by 2/3 of timeless objective jewels. The rest are nice games too. They were all released in 90s or early 00s.
Can we have a comparable list of games released in last ten years?
"I don't find the vast majority of mobile games to be interesting"
That's what I'm talking about! But, when you run heroes of mignt and magic or civilization on tablet in emulator, it is suddently interesting again!
It's not that tablets suck as a media, it's just almost every game for them is crap (or puzzle, I must add)
Well, I wanted to recommend GOG as a source of good games as well, but you mentioned it yourself :) GOG have new games too, and many of them are good. At least all the good ones which I expect appear there sooner or later.
Above I meant that it's not possible to make a list which everyone will view as perfect. Tastes vary after all. But GOG is a good approximation indeed.

Sure, I like playing Loom or Goblins 3 on a tablet in ScummVM for the fun of it :) But that's a rather non typical tablet gaming I suppose.
Comments
I don't have anyone. Some people only play poker, some play TES, most reverted to casual games.
There are many gaming forums / communities where you can ask for that if you are interested.
Some examples (these reflect my preferences since I play on Linux):
* http://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/
* http://gamingonlinux.com
There are many others of course.

And I would like to see that kind of list for tablet games in real genres (not action-puzzle) - WRT quality.
