Blood Brothers 2 is built on a simple, solid foundation, but its free-to-play system doesn't play fair.

Jurassic World: The Game is a worthwhile follow-up to the popular Park Builder.

South Park: Phone Destroyer is an ok Clash Royale clone, but does precious little with its license and feels overburdened with free-to-play hooks.

It's a clever, rewarding, and adorable game for the most part, and one that probably shouldn't be overlooked.

I've been really impressed by Pangolin. The artwork is great and the gameplay and controls are different enough to set the game apart from other games in the genre.

Having to jump through hoops to reset the tilt controls is a bit of a pain, but aside from that Zombie Fish Tank does a fantastic job of bringing an old genre back from the dead. The core mechanics are plenty of fun in their own right, and there’s plenty of bonus content and additional levels to keep players occupied.

Kamikaze Pigs is a game about chain reactions to destroy pigs. Sure, it sounds fun, but randomness only goes so far.

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.

Chillingo's new spatial puzzler serves up a series of mind-blogging experiments. It's just a shame that one won't be playing them for too long.

Gun Commando recalls the original wave of first-person shooters, but is far from a perfect game.

The Portal of Power is the best justification for this game. For those looking for a new reason to use their Skylanders figure collection, or wanting to get into it, then buy the Portal of Power and go crazy. Otherwise, stay away: as a purely-virtual experience, it's somewhat lacking.

I like everything about Gravity Runner except for the game itself. I love the concept to death. I think that done properly, it could be an incredibly fun platformer, one that could really play with gravity bending the way that this does. But as an endless platformer, Gravity Runner just does not work.

Original, sensual, and beautiful, Luxuria Superbia is quite the experience for those willing to be open minded about it.

Free-to-play management games tend to fall into the trap of monetizing before incentivizing. Band Stars forces players to decide if they feel the same way.

I wouldn't count Dark Shrines out for the count quite yet, but unless it receives some much needed updates, it will be forgotten in a world of millions of apps fighting for the top spot.

Super Cosmic Word Snake is a simple, yet addictive game that's best played with two players. How often can that be said about an arcade game on iOS?

I'm certain there are some people out there who will find NOM 5 enjoyable, but unless the tap-timing sees an improvement I have a hard time imagining it finding much of a fanbase.

It's simple, sure, but that's the idea. It's meant to be played over and over again. Players are supposed to try different strategies each time until they find one that works for them. Most of all, it's the kind of game that can drain an entire afternoon. Then the afternoon after that. And the one after that.

Manipulate a variety of different liquids in this challenging but attractive physics-puzzler.

Unity Games' Archangel is great for those who love the grind of a great looking dungeon-crawler but feels as though it takes a while to truly get going.

If repeating levels doesn't sound too bothersome, the idea of a quirky, different on-rails platformer appeals, and the letdown of the gondola being a cabin car doesn't seem too great then check out Gorilla Gondola.

Is a new 3D coat of paint worth spending $14.99? In this case, probably not...

The gameplay isn't deep, but it isn't meant to be. In the pure flick games, I would have liked a little more sensitivity to the strength of the flick – most of mine seemed to go the same distance and have the same impact regardless of my intended velocity – otherwise, the games worked as expected.

Crow is universal. But owners of the new iPad should definitely choose their iPads over their iPhones to take advantage of the beautiful and strange graphics in the game.

A dark and intriguing detective story awaits, behind some awkward controls and graphical glitches.

Mix Clash of Clans with Call of Duty, and this is what you get.

Zodiac: Orcanon Odyssey feels more like the start of a great idea rather than a fleshed-out experience.

Elements from several of the most popular (and beloved) modern tactical franchises come together to create something no strategy fan should be without.
