    Apart from some dodgy found control methods I think could do with some slight refining, Ridge Racer Accelerated is the Ridge Racer we all know, now on iPhone and iPod touch. A must for original fans of the franchise, and with future updates to the title slated to be bringing up to 40+ more courses and 60+ more machines free of charge, Ridge Racer Accelerated could be set to make its own mark on the App Store crowd.

    A fun physics based game with a quick learning curve, interesting scenes, good music and sound effects, and can potentially have a massive amount of levels once all the themes are created and if the gamer is willing to pay for them.

    I highly recommend Miner 2049er as both a nostalgic experience and as a just plain fun iOS game. The free content runs out pretty fast (only 4 levels are available), but it's fun while it lasts.

    I undoubtedly had fun playing Slice the Ice, but the whole ordeal was over much sooner than I would've liked and an extremely large portion of the content is closed off. Although replaying each of the initial 20 levels for a "Perfect" is certainly still an option so long as one can get past the jerkiness.

    Gamers who are fans of the show and have some patience won't mind waiting or spending a little cash, especially since it's possible to play with other preppers. Others may find the game to be a little mundane and repetitive.

    When it works, Angry Bomber is a solid game with an addictive idea behind it. It has a generous amount of levels too, with 30 on offer. It's just a shame that the action is marred by control issues.

    It's going to take a little bit of time for We Rule to get its server issues under control, but this game has become a solid keeper on my iPod. Anyone who has grown accustomed to the freemium platform will find this game to be a solid entry into the genre.

    There's a lot of ambition, but it is hampered by poor execution. littleDragon 3D would benefit from improvements across the spectrum, yet there is still a charm that manages to seep through that stops players from outright despising the game and, in fact, finding a bit of fun in there.

    AstroWings2 definitely gets the basics right, but small details like an odd in-app purchase model and camouflaged projectiles it stumbles right out of the gate. Nothing a little TLC can't fix, but it's tough to recommend in its current state. It does show promise, though.

    Catcha Prince takes a little adjustment being neither a pure Tower Defense game nor a shoot em up but it's worth a shot. It's rough and ready and quite quirky, but it's also a brave move.

    The edgy comic book intros and menu art make this game feel a lot like an exploitation film from the 70′s. That makes it very difficult to recommend the title for children, but more mature gamers will certainly have good fun with this game.

    It's a shame that such control and appearance difficulties arise and I had a lot of fun with Roads of Rome 3. It's an enjoyable challenging time management game but no one appreciates some of the challenge to come from the control system.

    DC Legends doesn't to a whole lot different from games like Mafia III: Rivals, but the fact that it deals in comic book characters makes it better suited for this type of game. Nothing in the game is a huge innovation, but if you're going to play one of these collection-based strategy games, DC Legends is a good one to pick up.

    Carmageddon is an older game, and it shows even on a mobile device, but people don't always love old games purely because they're old. Sometimes they love them because they're fun. And despite the slippery controls, this bit of nostalgia is still very, very fun.

    Very similar to other Tower Defense games but it's still enjoyable in its own right. It's cutesy and charming in appearance and the variety of different pets to use does add a more tactical element to things than you'd expect.

    Gear.Club is a cool racing game that takes what's great about Forza and places it into a serviceable, mobile form. If some of its menus and mechanics were streamlined a little better, it could be truly great. Until then, Gear.Club is a pretty great racing game that's a little to cumbersome to bother with.

    Sugar Kid's core problem is that it refuses to abandon the visual and mechanical samplings that stretch it thin to pursue with conviction a clear thesis for what it wants to be. By no means is it outright bad. Rather, it realizes the one thing it continually asks you to prevent, its protagonist's greatest fear: being watered down.

    The levels that are included do offer up enough of a challenge to provide a good chunk of gameplay – it's certainly not the case that they'll be blitzed through in one sitting.
