    With a funny storyline, 142 rounds of 3D action set across 34 locations, bonus levels, power ups and varied gameplay controls, Banzai Rabbit is fun, challenging and nostalgically appealing. If you do one thing for Johnny, man, get this game.

    Technically the game is fantastic. The graphics are great, the controls are responsive and well done, and the soundtrack is just fantastic. The only real hick-up I found was the occasional heavy frame dropping on the mushroom world of Sporelle.

    It's fantastic to see such a simple yet gripping idea be implemented quite so well. Just expect your iOS device battery to run low regularly. Not through inefficient coding but through the way that New Star Soccer makes two hours feel like five minutes. It's pure, unadulterated joy.

    Just an absolute joy. With mechanics that are nearly perfect, and a style that is difficult to out-do, this is a game that must be checked out by anyone who likes endless runner games, or anyone who just likes to feel happy while they play. This game is just fun.

    Sunshine is a difficult and fast-paced game, that most hardcore players will appreciate. There are many surprises along the way like boss levels, super powers and dangerous obstacles like cages, saws and meteors that really ramp up the difficultly level.

    An incredibly fantastic game. It can be stressful because of having multiple games to keep track of, and keeping strategies straight with multiple games is often a challenge!

    A fairly cute and amusing package, though. The slight addition of RPG elements to help buffer spells and amulets between battles, along with the fairly difficult achievements for each individual level give plenty of incentive to go back and try again, as returning will not result in just rehashing with the exact same power level. And again, if humor and writing are something to be appreciated, this game has quite a bit on offer.

    Feral Fury is one of the hardest games I've played this year, and I loved every punishing second of it. I wouldn't say it's perfect, especially if you don't have a controller to help you perform more reliably, but it's still bloody good fun.

    In the racing sim category of the App Store, there really isn't another game that is as impressive as Real Racing 2. It really does have everything that you would want in an iOS racing sim, from the nice selection of cars to the various racing tweaks to the outstanding graphics. The bottom line is that Real Racing is now the App Store's Gran Turismo.

    While Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars for iPhone offers a similar experience to its console counterpart, it won't be the 3D graphic-intensive one you were probably hoping for. That said, the game combines the use of brilliant on-screen controls, immersive objects and environments, comic-like visuals, and supreme attention to detail throughout to bring the first version of the GTA franchise to iPhone.
