    RPM: Gymkhana Racing is a good racer, but it's also drastically different from the norm. Fans of drifting should have no trouble jumping right in and enjoying themselves, but those more used to more typical kinds of racing should be prepared for a much different driving experience.

    The game is tough! But, given a few more hours with the game, I probably could have mastered it. I don't believe many people will want to play the game long enough to master it.

    Hanger's fundamental gameplay is very good and its weird, dark bent is intriguing. But the whole production just feels too cheap for it to be something truly great.

    As a free game with a decent amount of free content and an interesting-if-flawed concept, Grabbity is worth checking out. I definitely find myself interested to see more of what can be done with this concept.

    Evertales is beautiful, and the multiple character design is novel, but it never feels quite properly used here, and the length at launch gives me pause.

    Robot Fish is an enjoyable game that is easy to pick up, play, and finish reasonably quickly with a B or C rank. It's those A ranks that will keep the player coming back time and time again, and that's where the longevity can be found.

    Raccoon Rising doesn't feel like an essential part of the ascension platformer canon; the overall feel of the game and lacking features make it feel like it falls just short of what it needs to be a truly great game in its admittedly crowded genre.

    Sky Hero will appeal to those looking to scratch the 2D endless running/falling itch, which is not a bad thing. While it's an enjoyable enough gaming experience in its own right, the title doesn't have much that's new or innovative for this already over-crowded genre.

    The key then is to remain accurate yet speedy – something that isn’t necessarily easy here. That’s also where the most satisfaction stems from. Gun Truck doesn’t get more complicated than that, yet it’s still fun to try to improve each time.

    These bits and pieces keep Doodle Truck 2 feeling fresh, but it's all a little too slow burning for comfort. It's pleasing on the eye and there's fun to be had but it takes time to discover. Even then, it never really feels as exciting as it sounds.

    Caveman Wars constantly feels like it’s on the verge of extinction. Given the amount of systems it juggles simultaneously, it’s impressive that they come together half as harmoniously as they do. However, their union isn’t quite strong enough to fully stave off the eventual collapse.

    It's clear that StarRacing has a lot going for it. From the graphics and track design to the unique power-ups, the game has a lot of potential. However, there are a few kinks in the game that need polished to make this a five star experience.

    It's hard to give Space Settlers a full recommendation. The base building sections are so good and strangely relaxing that it may be worth suffering through the combat. For some though, it may just be insufferable.

    Clear Vision 2 is a great follow up to the original game. It’s a lot of the same thing but I like that it keeps going with the same story and delves deeper into Tyler’s troubled life. Fans of the original will want to pick this sequel up, especially since it’s only $0.99. My only complaint is that it can be repetitive and the missions are short, but this can also be seen as a benefit for those only wanting to distract themselves for a few minutes during the day.

    The wealth of in-app purchases does feel a little cheeky given the $0.99 asking price but at least it's not essential to progression. Instead, that price provides players with a fun, albeit slightly unoriginal, take on the Fruit Ninja formula.

    Whacking wolf after wolf over the head with a rake can get a bit tedious, but the game does it's best to vary the gameplay with kooky weapons. Save Our Sheep is a polished game and it does bring some unique mechanics to the tower defense genre.

    Level scoring, character power ups purchased with in-game currency and competitive leaderboards all help keep things fresh, but the core gameplay suffers a bit from the very simplicity that makes it appealing. That said, the gameplay is solid and the game is genuinely fun to play. In any case, the price is certainly right for players who at least want to give it a try.

    Traintiles is unique and fits well on the iOS platform, but it's not a title that stands out from the midst of a star-studded line up.

My 6 year old self weeps openly in disappointment.

    Cally’s Caves 4 is mostly just more Cally’s Caves, which is both a good and bad thing. The amount of upgrading and unlocking you can do here is a cut above previous entries in the series, but the combat still leaves something to be desired.
