It's got style, presentation, and plenty of replayability to keep people hooked for as long as they might need the distraction.

It's just unfortunate that the storyline doesn't push the boundaries more.

The player has so much more control in Super Crate Box than they do in Flip's Escape, and that's why I think that game works better with the same concept.

All in all, $0.99 is a minimal risk to give this game a whirl, and fans of the slingshot, bow and arrow, catapult style games will find some interesting complexity and enjoyable features with this game. Those who have found themselves exhausted with this style may find respite somewhere else.

Its emphasis on slow-burn cash earning creates a different pace than the titles fans might be more accustomed to, but it's every bit as addictive and charming.

This is a fun little racer that suffers from a few problems, and I found myself hoping a future update could address these and make this the racer that it truly deserves to be.

Horn is a well-crafted game that has been well thought out. The story is creative and lovingly presented, and works with the thematic concepts perfectly. Aside from very few control issues, this is definitely a great game that shouldn't go unnoticed.

It's particularly refreshing that in-app purchases are far from vital to progress. A rarity in such a money focused genre.

Much like the Trials series and Mad Skills Motocross, there will be swearing under your breath but also that urge to come back for more.

My Kingdom For The Princess III is pretty enjoyable casual fodder, however. There's not a huge amount of challenge within the story mode, more a matter of keeping up with taps, but it's fun in a 'Switch your brain off' kind of way.

When played in chunks throughout the day, Kingdoms & Lords is a fine, mildly engaging way to kill some time. Just be sure not to try and dig too deep too fast.

Besides this odd control jumpiness, Bad Hotel is a delicious treat for eyes, ears, and intellect. It's a delightful way to spend some time in a nice comfy chair, iPad in hand, with perhaps a glass of wine and fuzzy slippers upon the feet.

Ghostbusters Paranormal Blast is a one session play that will keep players occupied about as long as a commercial break.

The one thing I want to see more of from Kid Vector? More levels. Having more content would definitely be welcome. For fans of trial platformers and/or the vector style, this is worth checking out.

It's extremely addictive, it has a great Game Center multiplayer mode, and it has moles. Yes, it's also supported by in-app purchases for more gems, but the game hands them out frequently enough for upgrades. This is a fantastic game.

Recurse will never prove popular when played alone, but it comes into its own with a group of friends or while entertaining the kids. It's energetic and lively, and there really is nothing else like it for the iPad.

I found myself strangely liking this game. It has a certain charm about it that is rare in a lot of games, and although the entire game consists of only five opponents, I kept coming back for just one more go, which is all that can be asked of any game, I think.

For gamers seeking intense action and fantastic graphics, Trigger Fist should not be missed. It's hard to believe that this kind of experience can be had on a phone, but the evidence speaks for itself.

Virtually every aspect of Organ Trail: Director's Cut oozes style and cleverness.

MazzyBoyHD has so much potential to become a great game, but it needs some work to get there. Players looking for a game to kill some time and those who are big fans of labyrinth style games may want to give this one a try. It's definitely not a game that I can recommend to everyone, but it's worth giving it a shot since this iPad game costs less than one dollar.

Sticky Linky is pretty straight forward. Levels may be slightly different throughout but the format never changes amongst the 54 stages included. Fortunately, that's not really needed as Sticky Linky serves its purpose well. A steady supply of achievements further the cause for keeping players happy during their quick bursts of gaming, although long sessions may highlight the repetitious nature of the game.

The Strix isn't the longest of games by any means, meaning the $6.99 asking price is a slightly tall order. But, while there's nothing revolutionary to be seen here, there's also nothing shocking about Tales from the Dragon Mountain: the Strix either. It walks the line of respectability quite confidently but never has the nerve to dare to be different.

Gasketball is like basketball, but with portals and buzzsaws. Also, it's playable over the internet, which is difficult to do with a real basketball.

Hip and happy? What more could you want?

Cowbeam might be light on the action, but its focus on cow-seeking can still whittle away at the clock.

Monster Hunter Anniversary Edition isn't a bad game, but because it borrows so heavily from well-established licenses, unfortunately, it doesn't stand out. If you're a tower-strategy fiend, this is a cool addition to your collection, but it won't produce many memorable moments, nor push boundaries in this altogether familiar genre.

It's just a shame the developers haven't given players much of a hook and instead chosen to show the behind-the-scenes mechanics that power the genre, rather than forcing them to sift through a series of pre-deterrmined events.

The relentless push towards purchasing and a poorly thought out reward system plagues Pitfall!. Other games use upgrades to help players make permanent progress and that feeds the addiction. Pitfall!, however, falls into an avaricious money pit and ultimately feeds frustration.
