Fans of the original arcade game will find even more to love with the updated version of Plunder!. I enjoyed playing it and I think it has a lot to offer with its strategic gameplay that can be played for short or long periods of time.

There are far better ways to spend $3.99 on the App Store.

It's not even like Pilot Brothers is a particularly long game, weighing in at a couple of hours, but such repetition grates quickly. Such problems leave Pilot Brothers feeling like a relic of the obtuse 1990s adventure genre, something that no one really wants to go back to.=

It's just unfortunate that the harder difficulty level really doesn't feel that much harder than the standard level. It's a worthy game for fans of the genre and benefits greatly from some nice original touches. Just don't expect to be challenged.

The game can be great fun if you have the patience for strategy. I really appreciated the PC gaming vibe of Monster Trouble, but I was left longing for a more engaging story.

Hardcore pinball fanatics need not apply.

A decent game, but there's just nothing too special about it, sadly. Fans of combat racing games might enjoy this one, but this is hardly the best game in its genre, either.

It's never overly gripping or challenging but that genteel pace keeps things enjoyable for those not fussed about being challenged.

It's an enjoyable enough romp that made time go quickly but one that doesn't fully show what works so well in the genre.

Everything about Letters From Nowhere 2's design suggests keeping the player happy but to the detriment of any real challenge. Consistently, there's that sense that we've been here before.

There's a lot to play through in Jane's Zoo with 39 levels in all, but admittedly it is all a little too simple and easy to complete. I did quite enjoy my time playing it but there was still that sense that the game was almost playing itself.

The game is eye pleasing, but middling controls, annoying – rather than challenging – obstacles, and an utter lack of adventure makes for a frustrating experience.

It has a lot of content to offer and is well designed.

The best Fix-It-Up Time Management game yet.

Waiting is incredibly common in Eufloria and that likely won't sit well with many players.

I had some fun completing the Hidden Object scenes but it wasn't substantial enough to recommend Epic Adventures: Cursed Onboard.

Empire Builder is a city builder with some interesting features but don't expect anything akin to other desktop city builders.

DvO is functional and beautiful, but it's also generic and infuriating.

Dragon's Lair HD brings the classic arcade game to the iPad in high-resolution glory, but the gameplay is very primitive and unappealing unless you're a longtime fan of the game.

DOFUS: Battles 2 HD simply isn't as fun as the original. But it's definitely an interesting take on tower defense games and is worth playing for major fans of the original and, of course, fans of the MMORPG, DOFUS.

For those not sick of the running genre yet, Demolition Dash in both HD form for iPad and iPhone/iPod touch variations (the only difference between the two versions is price) is not a must-have by any means, but is interesting use of time. It doesn't stand with the best of the genre at all, though.

It might not be revolutionary but it is pleasantly fun.

Cowboy Guns is a game that has a good heart, but it feels like it's missing a lot of that, if I may be cliche, polish that the best games have. If it had a lot more of it, this could be worthwhile. Otherwise, it just doesn't feel worth it.

It's pretty to look at, and the puzzles are so-so (some are patently obvious; others require the fortunately-included help system to EVER figure out). Just don't expect too much out of it. There may yet be room in America for Rex the Dog and Mr. Moles, but City of Secret wasn't the best way to introduce them.

The game is aggravating and fun at the same time thanks to what seems like an easy task quickly escalates into a frenzy of herding chickens and foxes. Don't let the cutesy setting fool you, this is a challenging game and obtaining three stars on every level is not an easy task.

The lack of a strong storyline is unfortunate but thanks to its well paced nature, there's still some suitably entertaining fun to be had as one travels round Europe buying up everything possible.

Gameplay also gets quite tedious after a while with nothing really changing. Every few levels, a special mission kicks in requiring players to build a specific structure out of the blocks but this is just a race against time rather than anything challenging. With arcade games, players are used to relatively short bursts but on a system like this, longevity would have been nice.

Borderlands Legends struggles to stand on its own two feet.
