SuperRope's sketchy game mechanic and pay wall to further unlocks turned me off from this game. On a platform full of other quality endless ascension games, there just isn't the time to mess with this one.

The controls in Pocket Minions are terrible. It is way too easy to accidentally tap something, and it feels like half the time what I meant to tap was something besides what I did. It's just so busy, there's no room for the minions to breathe, and all the interface elements are just extremely cluttered. This is as true on the iPad as it is on the iPhone.

Static Quest is fleeting fun for a few minutes, but is unable to sustain players for much longer than that.

Don't Kill the Squirrel is a good idea. The game behind the idea, though, really isn't up to scratch and is hard to recommend.

Rhythm game fans would do much better to stick with Rock Band and the Tap Tap series, as Guitar Hero is just a flashy bundle of mediocrity.

I could easily overlook Wicket – The Beginning's control issues if it weren't for the fact that the gameplay serves zero purpose. There's no progression of any kind, save watching the numbers next to the gold coin, sword and shield go up. It's a shame, really. I think this game could be pretty cool if any of it actually lead to something.

I AM MT: Card Battle is not really a card game, but more like a middling dungeon crawler with a card aesthetic.

Angels in the Sky is a technically impressive, but rigid and creatively soulless shooting gallery.

In its present incarnation it's difficult to recommend, but at 99 cents it won't break even the piggy bank if you're curious, and you could certainly do far worse.

A little too close to Temple Run for comfort, XRun Space might have the mechanics right but it lacks its own personality.

War is hell, sure, but it doesn't have to be this brutal. Warfare Nations' art style can't stop the relentless grind.

Not even the deeply ingrained nostalgia over one of the world’s earliest “Survival Horror” games is enough to make this port worthwhile.

Definitely one to avoid.

This runner does a good job of channeling the crazy charm of Katamari Damacy, but it’s also overloaded with ads and other annoyances.

For a short time, PickCrafter will have you under its strange spell. Thankfully, it doesn't last and you can get back to doing more productive things in life, like watching paint dry.

My Little Hero looks great, the controls work well and keep it simple, and there is a wonderful storyline. But for serious platform gamers it's a tediously long journey for small reward.

A cumbersome strategy game, Stronghold 3: The Campaigns has a few too many issues to recommend it.

Players that enjoy simplistic one-touch puzzle platformers may get some mileage out of ROTO, but how much mileage is hard to say.

Hasta La Meurte looks good, but suffers from serious technical difficulties.

To win a seat on mankind's first trip to Mars, a handful of steam engineers compete in a contest of market savvy. But first someone needs to fish the wrenches out of this tabletop adaptation's gears.

Dungeon Defenders just reeks of an idea that wasn't fully thought through. It is as if someone got the idea to make a hack 'n slash and tower defense hybrid, but never considered if it would actually work.

Iron Dragon II - Revenge suffers from poor controls and mind-boggling repetition. Best to let the bad guys run amok.

Cross-genre pollination is always a worthwhile experiment, but the results here are mixed.

This is one for those who are huge fans of the franchise more than anything else.

A rough ride that has trouble keeping its wheels on the track.

As much as we would love to say Trial Xtreme 3 is the rebirth of the genre, it proves to be the exact opposite. Absurd spikes in difficulty don't do much to help matters along the way either. Downloader beware, this is not the Trials you should be looking for.

This gamebook looks like a cool graphic novel, but it's painfully lacking in substance.

Even if Batuhan's debut iOS game isn't the most ambitious, it does a serviceable job as a fun, simple, and for the most part challenging physics-based puzzle game. And he's introduced me to the idea of a melon truck, and that in and of itself is invaluable.
