    I'm absolutely in love with Crazy Taxi on iOS: it's a fantastic port of a bona fide classic.

    BMX Jam is a fine example of how to produce an exciting arcade bike racing game that's easy to pick up and play, but challenging to master.

    Kumo Lumo is one of the most innovative and entertaining titles to come from the Chillingo camp this year. In fact, it's one of the best from any camp. It's an utterly endearing and entertaining little title that perfectly suits the ultra-competitive iOS market and stands tall with any of this year's major releases.

    Anyone who is a fan of running games will enjoy this game. It is similar to other games out there, but it has a few features and game mechanics that make it different. If other running games have become mundane and boring, then definitely consider purchasing Amazing Runner.

    Despite the camera controls occasionally getting in the way, Blue Libra 2 is still a solid strategy game. It's just complex enough to breathe a bit of new life to the genre yet still simple enough to make the transition fairly painless. But that camera, man, wow.

    Heck, if Mistwalker simply adjusted the amount of resources given for taking down enemies (giant boss-like bugs grant 2. Yes, 2) it could make a huge difference. As-is, though, it pales in comparison to other examples within the genre. Even with the inclusion of Blades.

    It's remarkably simple yet incredibly frantic at the same time, and an upgrade or two can make all the difference when it comes to nailing a three-star rating. Fans of the genre, give it a look.

    For a simple puzzler that will get players thinking, Oh! Sheep is a nice addition to the genre. The first 15 levels are a generous amount of free levels to get a feel for the game and the $0.99 price tag is worth the total 90 levels. Anyone who enjoyed Spy Mouse and other path-drawing puzzlers should definitely pick this one up.

    Death Dome is a beautiful game that is sure to please players who are fans of the simple, yet deep, gameplay mechanic. It does have problems, though, and I can't overlook them. Regardless, I'm hooked.

    Zombie Gunner is a well-made game that will get players ready for both Halloween and the inevitable zombie apocalypse.

    A solid game that never quite manages to justify its own existence. Anyone who checks it out will probably have a fun experience, there are just so many other games that offer that same experience.

    Aplexia is a well crafted puzzle game that requires the player to think intelligently and plan ahead. Although it suffers from some faults that slightly detract from the experience.

    For a game that costs absolutely nothing, World Series of Yahtzee manages to provide many interesting and awesome twists on the traditional formula.

    For both long-time fans of the Paper Toss series and newcomers alike, most people will definitely find Paper Toss Friends appealing.

    For the most part, there haven't been many pushes to spend additional money and for this I am grateful. I do however think that the quality of the game would merit a download price. The developers have done a good job at giving players an addictive and fun game at no cost. I'd recommend giving it a try.

    The 3D endless runner genre could use more games like Zaxxon Escape, ones that try to do something new with their concepts. It doesn't always succeed, but it is still a fun take on the genre.

    For a quick, simple play, the earlier levels of Wimp offer quite a bit, and as the play progresses there is a bit of an increase in difficulty not just in puzzles, but how the platforming functions. Thankfully, as I stated, unless going for the completionist route, there is plenty to do without getting too frustrated.

    Risk and its sundry clones are great and all, but games like World Conqueror 2 take the genre to a more realistic next level without compromising playability. It's not perfect, but at $2.99 it's worth exploring.

    Thankfully, having long ago lost my need for perfection, I was able to continue ever onward and enjoy the zany story for what it was, moving from colons to brains and many organs between. There is quite a bit to enjoy about Tentacles: Enter the Dolphin, and it has high production values. Just be prepared for some level of frustration.

    Fun, easy to play, good looking and plenty of challenge. Snail Bob seems like it would be great for kids, too. Definitely worth playing!

    Despite being a free-to-play experience with very visible flaws, Murder Room has a gripping enough thread to at least warrant checking out. Sure, you may only end up spending a few minutes poking around, but if you actually like the trial and error aspect of the gameplay, it will prove well worth the time.

    Sugar Kid's core problem is that it refuses to abandon the visual and mechanical samplings that stretch it thin to pursue with conviction a clear thesis for what it wants to be. By no means is it outright bad. Rather, it realizes the one thing it continually asks you to prevent, its protagonist's greatest fear: being watered down.

    According to Calis Projects Zenforms: Protectors is a work in progress. This much is obvious after a few minutes of play. The potential for greatness is certainly there, but it has a long way to go if it's going to be a contender in such a crowded market.

    There's a lot of grinding involved, but Burrito Bison is fun while it lasts. It has a lot of potential to be a better game, so let's hope for a future update. For now, it's worth the dollar if gamers are looking for something zany and addicting to play for a few hours.

    It's the opposite of Zaxxon Escape: I liked the game, someone more familiar with it was not a fan. I'm curious to hear what Re-Volt veterans think of it.

    Even with the help of rapper Jay-Z selecting a stellar soundtrack for NBA 2K13, there seems to be a vast gap in between what the title aspires to be and what it delivers.

    Fin Friends is definitely one of the countless endless-runner games out there that is actually worth picking up and I've really enjoyed playing it so far.

    For the most part, the level design is quite quirky and amusing, however. The difficulty is a rather steep curve later on, but it ramps up to it quite nicely to start. Overall, a positive experience, if perhaps one I felt I've had before in many other occasions.

    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.

    Ultimately though, King Oddball is sufficiently enjoyable that any other purpose isn't really needed. It's simplistic to a near fault (right down to the lack of any proper menus) but when it's this much fun, who cares?
