When played in chunks throughout the day, Kingdoms & Lords is a fine, mildly engaging way to kill some time. Just be sure not to try and dig too deep too fast.

Startales is a bit confusing as a game. It's not quite clear what the point of the game is, but swinging around is entertaining for a while. The abilities and varying goals add some variety to the game but it still remains a bit of an enigma.

This free-to-play shooter looks nice and has a reasonable monetization scheme, but is otherwise kind of lacking.

Race your friends in this real-time multiplayer game that's entertaining if simple.

For now, Dabble is a brief but enjoyable distraction from my other word games. For a limited time it's free, and if you've got 10 or 20 minutes spare then it's absolutely worth a download. Maybe with some embellishing or a sequel it will grow into a must-have for word game enthusiasts.

Game Stew's latest bizarro throwback hybrid is an unfortunate exception to an otherwise impressive release record.

It's certainly pleasing to see this mix of real-life aircraft and scenarios alongside a more arcade-like gameplay style.

The graphics are polished, Mathilda will enthral little gamers while annoying those with younger siblings or children of their own in just the way intended, and the game uses a tried and true formula.

Like candy, Toy Matters & The Hook Machine is sweet but fleeting and insubstantial.

Dawn of Steel is a promising take on F2P base building, but it relies a bit too much on waiting.

This FMV mystery game is bursting of twists and turns, but certain ways they are meted out can make the experiencing all of them a bit tedious.

Knituma isn't the knitting simulator we need, but it's still pretty good.

A charming adventure set in an enchanting world, The Inner World is a treat for fans of classic adventure games.

This game feels like a lot of missed opportunities, really. A lot more could have been done, and could still be done, in order to make this game live up to its hyper-colorful, action-packed experience.

All of this seems like a repeat of features that have been seen before in other games. Rather than innovate, Rovio has taken the path of least resistance and created a competent, if uninspired, social version of Angry Birds.

Incredible Jack has an endearing heart but it isn’t enough to outweigh its unforgiving nature.

Having to time your moves and the intentional "stuttering" really slow the game down, making it less fun than it could have been. On the other hand, the skill and timing required also make it a lot more challenging and entertaining.

Heroes in Time might trip up a little bit with the gameplay, but what's there is decent if nothing else. What's surprisingly pleasant is the way the story (of all things) starts to take hold, clichés and all.

Don't let the price tag fool you. If you're not willing to pony up a ten spot, your time in Magic 2015 is going to be short-lived indeed.

My Kingdom For The Princess III is pretty enjoyable casual fodder, however. There's not a huge amount of challenge within the story mode, more a matter of keeping up with taps, but it's fun in a 'Switch your brain off' kind of way.

Ultimately, Treemaker is a fun game. The physics-based platforming works well, though it's inhibited by stagnant level design. That said, for anyone looking for a fun, portable platformer, this one's worth checking out.

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.

The extremely challenging Fish Bowl Roll is like marmite; you'll either love it or hate it, but there's never a dull moment.

Keeping it simple, Stickman Tennis is a fun, arcadey sports game.

Cooking Dash 2016 is Diner Dash with a few twinkly extras.

This was a great first effort from a developer that shows real talent and promise. At the very least, they deserve a chance to show us what else they can do.

Frogger Decades is a valiant and somewhat successful attempt to make Frogger work today, but not all games are meant to last 30 years.

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.
