The constant need for coins really hampers this game and can make for long periods of waiting or the need to spend some real money.

Possibly because NASCAR games don't enjoy the same popularity as other sports games, this title attempts to mix things up by turning a racing game into a simulation. But is that a good thing?

The puzzles might not have any guidance, but are at least simple enough to figure out with a focus on jigsaws and matching up games. They won't really excite though. Throw in the weak and dated graphics, and the very short game length and Sinister City: Vampire Adventure isn't one of G5′s best titles. There's always a better Hidden Object game to play than this unless you're a true vampire obsessive.

Laden with clunky controls, messy visuals, and shallow combat, Thor: The Dark World is not the marvel we expected.

There's really nothing redeeming about Gangstar New Orleans. It's a bad GTA game with no personality, terrible free-to-play mechanics, representation issues, and a boatload of bugs. Just don't bother with this game at all. There's no reason to.

Each character class has its own strengths and weaknesses, each level has a host of hidden contraptions with which to cause chaos, and every weapon packs a powerful punch, but the control issues – coupled with the graphical stuttering and lack of gameplay variety – just don't equate to much replay value.

Assassin's Creed Memories is hardly a game at all, and shamefully wastes the chance to do something cool with its source material.

Crucially, though, Little Amazon's main offense is that it just isn't interesting enough. It's the perfect definition of average and nothing more. Something that really doesn't cut it any more in the Endless Runner genre, even for free.

Yet another movie tie-in game that misses the boat.

StreetBike: Full Blast really has a lot of issues to fix, particularly to make it feel like a more polished product. Until then, this is just an unspectacular racing game, even if it is one of the few motorcycle racers on the App Store.

The jokes aren't the most offensive thing about this freemium city building game based around the Family Guy series.

The main failing for Dead Rising Mobile is that it just isn't interesting enough.

Voice Fantasy is a quirky oddity of a game but it's not really something that you'd return to after an initial infatuation.

Fight it out with cards and puzzle elements rather than the usual SOULCALIBUR format in this awkwardly unexciting title.

Dungeon Keeper’s iOS outing is most definitely not the PC classic we all remember, but as a regular old freemium game it’s actually quite enjoyable.

As a Monty Python fan, I am disappointed with the lazy and unimaginative way this game has used the classic comedy troupe's work. As an iOS gamer, I am disappointed with the obvious, blatant copycatting of Angry Birds. This is nothing more than a licensed-name cash grab, and you should avoid it at all costs.

Wanderer: War Song is the kind of game I want to like, but it goes to great lengths to keep me from doing so. The controls are a mess, the hitboxes need adjusting, and getting booted back to the main menu after each level is a pain. I’d say wait for an update or two before investing any money here.

It's tough not to be cynical when confronted by such an uninspired freemium town building sim such as this. It hardly uses the movie license well.

This attempted hail mary ends up feeling like more of a personal foul.

There's a fascinating storyline underneath the poor gameplay.

There's a fantastic license within but Scarface is really very disappointing and gangster fans won't be impressed at all.

I didn't think Gameloft could do a worse job with free-to-play than they did with Let's Golf 3, but they sure did! Now please Gameloft, just stop. This is embarrassing.

The storyline is excellent, and the voice-acting spot-on, but Tales of Phantasia is unbelievably let down by its free-to-play model and terrible controls.

The RollerCoaster Tycoon franchise finally comes to iOS, but it's a rather disappointing affair.

Don't expect spills and thrills with FoundIt or even fancy looks, it's clearly not that kind of game. While it would have been nice to have seen more variety with the different levels (the flags of the world were particularly tedious compared to cartoon animals), it's not bad. It makes for an OK distraction to dive into once in a while.

Metro Ski Challenge really is one of the strangest experiences that I've had in the App Store. The game is pretty fun (it could use a bit more variety) and everything looks clean and polished, but I just can't help but to expect this all to be part of a big Orbitz ad campaign. Let me know if you get the same feeling.

Strategy purists will probably still lean towards Galcon due to its pure strategy focus, but I think the average gamer will appreciate the added abilities that Buccaneer Blitz grants you.

In a nutshell, if you love platform gaming and can't get enough of trying to beat the world in high score challenges, BloodRunner is probably the game for you.
