Stunt Star: The Hollywood Years is a lot of fun. I definitely enjoyed playing it and found myself repeating levels I had already cleared just to see if I could get a better score. The variety of vehicles, add-ons and number of levels help make this great game a lasting experience.

The game mechanics tie together neatly so Grow Away! proves to be excellent fun. Levels gradually work their way up in terms of difficulty, ensuring that players never feel too out of depth or patronised. Grow Away! is near guaranteed to offer hours of vegetable flinging fun.

It's an engaging game that does an excellent job tying into both the book and movie. The adventure never gets boring, although waiting for energy points to restore can be tiresome.

Electric Tentacle might not have that ridiculously addictive quality that something like Tiny Wings might still retain, it needs a few more persistent challenges to accomplish that, but what is there adds something original to the genre. Something that we could all do with occasionally.

Ultimately, Dino Life is going to be quite a divisive game. With so few actual gaming elements, and a lot of tapping on things to collect resources, many gamers won't be too interested.

On the whole 101 Airborne is a solid topscroller action game. Aiming takes a little while to get used to, but overall the controls are good. Also, the 3D graphics are superb and the soundtrack is very appropriate. There are plenty of upgrades and levels, so it is definitely a justified purchase if it sounds appealing.

Bad Piggies is pretty darned flawless, when I think about it.

The atmosphere is preciously cute and the level design overall is good enough to make Drag It worth considering. Birds got to fly.

The game is still frantically chaotic unlike few other match–3 titles out there, and it still looks colorfully amazing.

The only drawbacks are that controls and timing take some getting used to and the levels get somewhat repetitive.

It's this rough and ready approach that stops BoxPlots from truly standing out. There's a fun game mechanic in there but it doesn't quite click as well as it could.

While it's nothing too special, Rise of the Guardians at least tries to do something to interest potential fans.

Coupled with its attractive yet clear graphics and Pilot's Path ticks all the right boxes for an enjoyable open world title.

As far as line drawing games go, Twang The Fox is like a breath of fresh air for a genre that seems to have been on its last leg for quite some time.

The visual style is like a bad CGI Nickelodeon cartoon full of ugly aliens and animals.

Implode 3D is only really let down by its inability to change. It is roughly the same game throughout the entire 80 levels.

In summary, PlicPlic is a really good game. The gameplay is simple and easy to learn due to very straightforward controls. The graphics create an fun atmosphere and the app is an overall great value.

The developer promises that more levels are on the way. Hopefully, more game modes are being considered, as well.

Controls work similarly well through the touch screen.

I get the inherent appeal of Project Mayhem, but I don't get all the accolades. The controls are restrictive and loose, it looks way too blurry on my 3GS, and most of its possible selling points haven't actually been implemented yet. Maybe with some time, refinement, and updating it will be the platformer-to-beat, but right now it's not much of a contender.

While the ability to replay levels for a higher score, or faster time exists, I found myself finishing most levels the first time around with a score with which I was pleased, and no real need to explore other strategies.

For fans of quirky puzzle-action games that balance well between requiring the spot-on and frantic shot, Arrow Mania has quite a bit in its app-confines. It holds up under either longer or shorter play sessions without much fuss, though at times the puzzles can become difficult enough that a break is warranted.

There might be plenty of levels to play, 30 in all, but it's tough to persevere when it feels like the gameplay isn't really evolving sufficiently enough.

Anyone new to strategy card games and looking for a simple place to start should check out Shadow Spires. However, it won't be long before they start craving some slightly more complicated fare.

Blending together equal parts simplicity and self-induced complexity, the game is an ideal fit on the platform. Don't even bother to debate this ninety nine cent purchase. It should become a mandatory staple of your collection as soon as possible.

For completionists, each level is gauged according to how quickly and accurately it has been completed, as well as if all the extra stars have been collected. Similar to the 'three star' method used by so many other puzzle games, it goes some way to extending this already fairly lengthy title. 100 levels should keep the gray matter ticking along for a while to come.

It's a fun SHMUP that's sectioned off in great little chunks ideal for a quick game or two whenever the opportunity arises.

God of Blades is a great take on the auto-runner genre, and the fact that it absolutely commits to its theme is part of what makes it so much fun. There's nothing quite like it on the App Store, and it's fun to boot.

It's an insane amount of fun from just about any angle.

It's an exceptional value and a fascinating story.

There is a simple charm to fighting enemy after enemy, though only in short bursts because variety is not Cartoon Wars Blade's strong point.

With so much going for it though, it's hard not to urge gamers to pick up their sword and fight for the crown. Or at least pick up their mobile device. That's probably safer.

Gibbets 2 is a fun, fast-paced puzzler. The game forces players to make quick decisions and make good shots.

A furiously frantic yet highly enjoyable Match Three title.

If you love a good mystery and games that make you feel clever, I highly recommend buying The Room today.

This focus on in-app purchases is a little infuriating as no one likes to be encouraged to spend quite so readily, even when playing a free to play game. There's no need to spend this money but the constant reminders will still frustrate. It dampens an otherwise enjoyable title.

SciBeaver is a more cerebral challenge than is usually expected on the App Store, especially once a variety of different lights are used in certain stages. This will mean that SciBeaver isn't for everyone. For those after challenging brainteasers, though, it's a hit and one that should keep players busy for a while to come yet.

Despite the lack of polish it does give players quite a few features and mechanics to play with, and it has a robust bestiary.

It's a solid Tower Defense game with a hook that just might be different enough to interest anyone burned out on the genre.

It's a great simple game to kill time, but it's not the kind of thing I could picture most iOS users draining their batteries over. Although it is fun, and sometimes people just want to have fun without a bunch of thinking or rules to hinder their enjoyment. In which case they should look to Neon Blitz.

At the risk of sounding cliché, it's not hard to argue that FIFA 13 is a pitch perfect adaption of the world's sport. While that might be a bit extreme, the brand's dedication to tweaking game mechanics until they are perfect, seems to be shining through loud and clear.

Crafty Creatures' aesthetic isn't just about looking good. The creative potential of arts and crafts represents the creative potential of the game itself. That potential shouldn't be left to go to waste.

Overall, Fire Escapes is good for killing a few minutes, but due to a lack of variation in the game play, it won't hold players' attention for too long. The graphics are retro and well done, and it's only $0.99, so it's definitely not a bad deal.

The whole game is played out in glorious cartoon graphics with entertaining sounds and I can easily see this game appealing to the younger iPad owning generation.

Is the action of NinjSmash all that compelling? Not particularly. That said, there are far worse ways to spend an hour playing games on an iOS device.

When it comes to games are pleasant surprises, Snappy Dragons 2 HD is about as unexpected as they come.

Overall, Klopex Galactic Bubble for iPhone is a typical bubble game. It has a couple interesting and unique additions, like the space trek mode, but the main gameplay is pretty standard. If online multiplayer is added soon, it could make it very appealing.

Oh, My Cat! doesn't offer quite enough content to be as addictive as some of the more popular Endless Runners already out there, but it is cute enough to give some acknowledgement to. With a little more content, there could be something special within these spaceship walls.

I'm not a real-time strategy guy - not by a long shot. So the fact that I enjoy Castle Raid as much as I do is a powerful statement.

It can be repetitive at times and I personally don't think it will be a game that keeps players constantly coming back for more. Having said that, I do think the price of $0.99 is fair and the game is a nice addition to the retro-themed genre.

Given its inevitably repetitive nature, Demons' Score is tough to recommend. It starts out so well but it's not long before it becomes apparent that it's all just too steep a price to persevere at, no matter how uniquely quirky the story might be.

It's cute, accessible, and has a decent amount of variety. It also tends to be confusing, difficult to control with precision, and feels more like a collection of mini-games than a complete title. It's certainly not bad and is worth a look from the curious, but it's also not exactly rocking the foundations of the App Store.

For a quick game that can be put down when players get frustrated or have to engage in something else, Cubicworld is a fun little brain twister. It scratches that itch that wants to challenge our minds with classic puzzles that make us approach problems in new ways.

The idea behind Boxthebag is a brilliant one. The game is perfect for exercise enthusiasts, boxing experts and the occasional gym rat.

While Blood Brothers is nothing particularly new, it does offer a steady, virtual stream of rewards and pleasures for a gamer to behold.

Lili is a game that looks great, and optimally could have been a more open Infinity Blade-esque game, but in the end, the repetition and unnecessary elements drag it down.

A lot of thought has gone into the whole game, from the retina display graphics, to the layout of the title screen; which allows you to scroll around to enjoy the hi-res graphics even more. Everything works, and works well.

The CATch! is a fun high-score based title that fails to innovate on an already tired genre. While not a bad game, per se; to most, this is hard to recommend to anyone other than someone desperate for a game similar to Temple Run.

Despite its somewhat twitch gameplay, Min – A Space Adventure really is more about quickly but passively reacting to what is happening on screen rather than directly engaging with it. However, sometimes reacting to something cool and interesting is engaging in its own way. Just sit back and enjoy the ride.

I think this is a very interesting start to a concept that if fleshed out more, could be incredibly engrossing. As of now, it's worth checking out if curious, but I think it's a few steps short of being great.

The early stages of Epic Adventures: La Jangada might seem promising but all too quickly, it falls back into run of the mill ways. Only taking a couple of hours to complete further reminds players that there are better Hidden Object games out there.

Jewel Factory is also quite pretty to look at and certainly appealing to the younger gamer. It's just unfortunate that the idea of mixing sandbox gaming with puzzle elements isn't quite as fully realized as one would hope.

As an adult, I found the games to be rather simple, although embarrassingly I was terrible at the timed events. But children will find the character very charming and fun to watch, and the games themselves will keep them entertained for some time.

It's relatively little, and easily fixed, things that damage the fun that can be had with Amp, Watts & Circuit. Each of the levels are a little on the short side but this lends itself well to mobile gaming and, while the only real challenge remains with taming the controls, it's a fun ride to take.

GridBlock is definitely worth the free taste for anyone who likes puzzle games to see if the concept and controls will stick. While the latter aspect is frustrating, GridBlock does a great job at executing its premise.

For fans of the side-scrolling shoot-em-up, Apocalypse Max delivers quite a lot in a fairly compact package. Requiring a fair amount of concentration, but never overly harsh, it wants you to be a survivor and will equip you with the appropriate weapon to do so.

Rayman Jungle Run is a breath of a fresh air.

Ultimately though, there are better games to participate in. Order Up!! Food Truck Wars tries to rectify things by adding a purpose in the form of being able to customize a food truck with coins gained from wins, but it's not enough to lift the game higher than mediocrity.

My Army put some neat twists on a few different genre tropes and made a unique and enjoyable casual shooter. My Army: Reloaded does all that on more devices for free. Now is the time to enlist.

It's a simple game mechanic but one that works well.

Tiny Warriors is a fun, but doesn't offer any innovative game mechanics. However, it will definitely satisfy anyone who wants a modern version of Paratroopers and Sabotage.

While the one course may wear thin over time, Wonderputt is an experience full of wonder (groan) for iPad owners to check out.

Tie-in games are frequently a little weak, trying to pack so much into so little. Dishonored: Rat Assassin dodges that quite nicely and, while it doesn't bear much similarity to what will happen in the full game, it's a fun distraction that's worth taking the time to download.

This is a pretty good attempt to bring the Wild West alive on the iPad. The $1.99 price tag is about right for what is offered. Although I personally think the game is a little repetitive, there is still enough there to keep players entertained with the Deputy's adventures.

More games would have been great to see here as, after a while, Bonzii gets a little uninteresting. It's all too easy to find yourself just checking in as if it were a job, rather than for fun. There's the potential for something special here but regular updates are going to be needed to keep things interesting.

Rail Rush is a very good game and a bargain for only $0.99. There is a ton of depth will all the levels, missions, and upgrades. The gameplay, graphics, and sounds all work together to create a really enjoyable atmosphere.

Although Super Hangman! Mini Edition could use some minor improvements, the game is still enjoyable. With so many words to complete and three different modes, gamers are sure to brush up on their word solving skills. Whether players race against the clock or sit back and relax, it will challenge the mind and stretch the vocabulary.

I still think My Singing Monsters is a great little curiosity for any musical enthusiast's iOS device but it will require some patience until the connection issues get ironed out. Still, it's pretty darned cool when it works.

There's a fun core game here, but remember: it's free to play, not necessarily free to progress and really enjoy the game. Caveat emptor.

While Cosmic Bump is at its heart another enjoyable-but-not-classic physics puzzler, it's something that will provide plenty of amusement, especially for those looking for a little more twitch timing in their physics puzzlers.

Despite the odd controls, Anyo and Rui is still a heck of a game.

I never would've expected Quantum Legacy HD to have strategic elements hidden underneath the arcade on-rails shooting, but it does and it's all the better for it. Scouring the galaxy for badguys ends up being quite a bit of fun. The kind of fun that just about any iOS gamer can enjoy.

There is that "just one more go" addictiveness to the game, and being able to buy power ups and eventually unlock other characters to play adds to the long term appeal.

It all makes for a gentle but enjoyable enough title, one that makes a change from the more safe Hidden Object games out there. It's a little on the short side but at least the price reflects that.

Aero Dog is a fun and simple shooter that has a lot of room for players to experiment with different dogs. The full game retails for $0.99 and the lite version is free, so be sure to at least try the lite version out.

Although the replay value may be concerning to some, Night Flight is still a hoot to play.

It is rare to be pleasantly surprised in a game released on iOS. Draw and Roll has proven to be a rare exception to this rule.

So long as the curious don't download Little Masters expecting a rivalry with Gary Oak, and accept that it's a freemium game, they should still enjoy themselves. It's certainly not a major time-sink but it can make waiting more bearable in short bursts.

A very fun and well-designed game. The graphics and soundtrack are very good and the game play is simple. The only draw back is the incentive to purchase credits to speed up unlocking items and upgrades.

A steady trickle of different star types keep this game away from being too predictable but its familiar mechanics confirm its place as an easy to dive into title.

There is more than enough game to justify the price tag.

I'm still not quite a fan, but I appreciate the effort here.

This is a piece of history that is a worthy investment of both your time and money.

Capturing the 'just one more go' mentality nicely, Stickman Base Jumper is a fun and challenging title to play through. It's going to take a while for anyone to complete all 40 levels but there's going to be a heck of a lot of fun in between.

The Last Driver is highly enjoyable for the first couple of hours of play. It just gets a little too stale too soon to be memorable enough. There's a nice idea within, it just needs more variety to be worth sticking around for.

It may not be the most fancy multiplayer affair, but it's accessible and functional. It's also lots of fun to jump into a quick game or two to earn enough cash for a nicer pair of pants.

A unique and fun twist on tower defense games. It's out now for $0.99 so the price is right for what it has to offer. It does have some drawbacks in repetition and depth, but for those who don't mind, it's a quirky little game to have on board.

Ultimately, Wipeout is a thoroughly enjoyable game. Players are sure to have fun diving, running and falling all the way to the finish line. The Game Center integration, when combined with the competivie nature of Wipeout, is sure to keep players occupied even when they've finished unlocking all the items.
