    NeoMech isn't some piece of high art that seeks to elevate or deconstruct an old genre the way certain other retro throwbacks do. It's just a new game with fun, old influences. Sometimes fun is enough.

    That touch of class exudes throughout the rest of Hidden Runaway, propelling it above the typical heights of Hidden Object gaming. The story is interesting and charming with the playable elements just as intriguing. It's an all round sterling package.

    Monster House will definitely appeal to those who love both spooky and tycoon games – but I don't see this game winning people who aren't already infatuated with those genres over because of the lacking visuals and dull pace.

    It's all quite simple gameplay but that doesn't stop Pirate Plunder being enjoyable.

    Carmageddon is an older game, and it shows even on a mobile device, but people don't always love old games purely because they're old. Sometimes they love them because they're fun. And despite the slippery controls, this bit of nostalgia is still very, very fun.

    Boomtime Baseball does get repetitive, given that no matter how varied the mini-games may seem, they all come down to hitting the ball hard. But, it's still quite fun to dive into for those short casual gaming sessions. The charm of the 1920s exterior provides the icing on the cake.

    If you can get past the Woody Woodpecker style laughing, Kupid is fun to play for those looking for a quick gaming session.

    I wouldn't recommend skipping ahead, though, as Drawn: Trail of Shadows is quite short and will only take a few hours to complete, anyhow. Still, quality over quantity is clearly here and while it's far from taxing on lower difficulty levels, Drawn: Trail of Shadows tells an interesting tale with some glorious visuals.

    Topia World Builder is a game for those that want to play with a world of their own, that find joy in the process of creation rather than the structure or the output of the activity.

    Pretty much the only lesson that should be taken from it is that it at least has consumable powerups that are cheap enough to buy with collected rings that they actually can become an integral part of gameplay, not just a plaything for the rich. Beyond that, this is a disappointingly pedestrian game.

    It's possible to push past these bottlenecks with enough stubbornness (and gold), but it can be a real trial-by-patience. That's not to say it isn't worth doing as Sir Death is incredibly awesome and fun when it's not tossing players to the wolves.

    This is a game great in theory, and smashing nukes with bare fists is never not just exceptionally awesome, but it only goes so far to raise the quality of the experience.

    Overall, True Skate is a stunningly good looking game that comes incredibly close to recreating the feel of real skateboarding. There might not be a lot to do, but it does provide for a good time.

    Texas Hold'em doesn't traditionally offer much wiggle room for creativity, yet somehow Texas Ask'Em Poker managed to have something fresh in the cards. This is one hand that you will definitely want to play out, and often. Ante up, because the brain-busting questions will just keep on coming.

    So, we have a platformer with an interesting idea, but one that feels like it's still in that phase before it's fun. I encourage the developers to return to this idea; there's something here, it works well on touch screens, but refining it to make and keep it interesting is what is necessary to make it a star.

    It's challenging stuff and players would be forgiven for being infuriated at times. One slightly wrong tilt can undo a lot of work in later stages and it's sometimes quite tough to navigate the mazes that emerge to add to the difficulty level.

    There's just something about scouring each room for items and all that collecting, collecting, and collecting. It takes adjustment, but it can be worth the effort in the end.

    The artwork is very polished and the storyline is original and witty. There is a lot of funny banter between the attorneys at the beginning of each round and it's almost as if the developers hired a screenplay writer to write all the content.

    For folks that are fans of footie on a budget, there is plenty to appreciate in Real Soccer 2013. Unfortunately the flawed control scheme where it matters most, on the field, will likely leave gamers crawling back to EA.

    When there are thousands of far more visible and branded poker simulators out there, it is hard to recommend PlayScreen Poker 2. There are no fundamental flaws with the gameplay itself, it just doesn't bring anything else important to the table.

    Ivy the Kiwi? is a clear indicator if there ever was one: there is a big difference between games on phones and tablets, and games made for them. The price tag may be lower, but take our word for it: try the free trial first, and consider going 'retro' if you're intrigued.

    E.T The Green Planet is a decent title for what it is. While not especially memorable, it's easily the finest E.T game to date. I bet even Drew Barrymore would be happy with this one.

    Honestly though, anyone that's been waiting with baited breath for a "My Babysitter's a Vampire" fighting game will probably get a genuine kick out of Humans VS Vampires. For the rest of us though, it just bites.

    The game is sold for under a buck, so it won't empty out your wallet. It's perfect while waiting at the doctor's office or for long sessions at night while unwinding from the day.

    Super Bunny Breakout is worth checking out for those who like the Breakout formula, and want to see it tweaked with, and featuring bunnies instead of lifeless spheres. Good luck figuring out that energy mechanic, though, it's either terrible or benign!

    WarCorps: Genesis shows how little differences can go a long way towards making a game stand out in a crowded genre. Military shooters aren't going anywhere soon so we might as well try the ones worth trying. At least it isn't in first person.

    While it seems this might get old after a while, played in short bursts, it actually has a lot of legs, with each play earning coins to unlock different music and themes.

    Girls Like Robots is a fantastic puzzle game: there's a lot of creativity that came from such a simple starting point, and the way that everything expands out from its simple beginnings is the kind of trait that great games have.

    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.

    With Polara, players are also arguably getting two games in one. After completing each stage, a separate goal emerges: the collection of the titular letters and a special medallion. The position of each letter cleverly rewires the way players are required to jump, switch colors, and evaluate timing. Meanwhile, perfectionists will be enticed by the pursuit of "flawless," no-death runs. All told, Hope This Works shows that ingenuity in design trumps superfluous achievements every time.
