Football Manager Handheld 2012 isn't quite a revolution in soccer management but the addition of Challenge mode does go some way to encouraging that idea. It'd be nice to see some more hands on controls mid match in a future edition.

Even with this rather large laundry list (I don't have enough space to list them all) of bite-sized problems, I'd still recommend Terra Noctis wholeheartedly to anyone who loved to jump on things. It's beautiful to look at and listen to, but it's also just plain fun to play.

The Sims Freeplay offers plenty of hours of fun. Some in one big dose, while other sessions are in shorter drop in sessions as is common with the freemium model. In each case, it makes The Sims Freeplay a worthwhile download at an excellent, non-existent, price.

Trenches 2 is a great way to enjoy some real-time strategy in a very user-friendly way. While controls are still an occasional issue due to screen size, the gameplay is still engrossing enough for anyone who's a fan of games like Plants vs. Zombies to check this one out.

Aside from the Old School implementation of game saves, The Bard's Tale is a great trip down memory lane that actually feels more suited to iOS.

Funny Hell is a nice combination of interesting gameplay, unique graphics and easy controls for an almost perfect gaming experience. Well, it can't be perfect if it's in hell.

It's just nothing substantially memorable.

Overall Subject 7 is a fun game if players have the patience to figure out some of its more 'interesting' puzzles, though at around two-hours long players probably won't want to revisit the world once they have seen all there is to see.

Pucca's Restaurant is an incredibly involving game. The initial stages are a total slog, as the player tries to earn enough money to upgrade the basics, but once this is done the game starts to flow nicely and there are many hours of entertainment on offer.

Despite these drawbacks (I'm sure Mountain Sheep is aware of them), I'd say this is a solid attempt at an iOS hockey game.

For a casual game, Tiny Places can get more frustrating than most.

This is still a classic and still a fantastic game that needs to be played by any and all RPG lovers. The controls can be very, very irritating at times but the core experience, characters and storyline have weathered the storm of porting and still provide as much enjoyment as they ever had. I'm still kind of cheesed-off by the butchering of Frog's script, though.

The comic portions of this game are where it really shines, but the gameplay is enjoyable enough that it doesn't feel like a chore to get to the laughs.

Suffice it to say, Cave has done it yet again. Bug Princess is another great shooter to add to the ol' iOS library. It's significantly cheaper than its brethren, too, so it's also bound to appeal to frugal entomophobics everywhere.

Overall, Kaptain Brawe: A Brawe New World is worth a look for those after a challenging yet humorous adventure.

Breakout Boost doesn't have a lot going on for free, but its very fair and affordable IAP practices are appealing in a world where even someone like myself, who understands the move to consumable IAP, feels kind of annoyed by the shoehorning of it in games where it otherwise doesn't belong. Breakout and Arkanoid fans should give this one a test.

Pretty much the only issue with Sonic CD is the controls; the d-pad is kind of small, but that's about it. The game holds up really well, and its relative scarcity in terms of re-releases makes it only that much more special now.

I might have more complaints about EnbornX than I do direct compliments, but that's only because I want it to be all that it can be. With a bit more attention and tweaking, this could be a serious App Store contender. One with virtually unlimited possibilities.

It would be naive to claim that Boom Bugs isn't derivative as a game, but it's well though out approach to an iOS gaming standard is refreshing and well worth a look. The game is definitely very fun to play and has enough content to keep players busy for a good amount of time.

Overall I like what this indie developer has come up with and I think the game has a lot of potential.

There's a lot to love about Tank Riders. It looks and sounds fantastic, and the idea behind the gameplay is sound; in fact some of the levels are quite tense. It's a shame that the controls always feel a bit too sluggish, because while it doesn't ruin the game, it's a prominent niggle in an otherwise fine game.

I really enjoyed Rock 'em Sock 'em Robots while it lasted, but it didn't last long. Once I'd trained up my fighter (the Blue Bomber) there wasn't really anything else to do. Hopefully we'll see a few more additions in the future, but right now it's pretty sparse.

Mini Motor Racing takes a proven genre and improves upon it by providing its own additional artistic touch. The result is a very gratifying racing experience that will keep players coming back for lap after lap. Everyone start your engines!

A great freemium game that makes the location-based check-ins feel natural and doesn't overly punish lower level players as many others tend to do.

For anyone who enjoys an action-puzzler, but is tired of variations of the same themes over and over, this is a solid pick up with a lot of promise.

I was genuinely shocked when I'd first started playing Swing Away. It came out of nowhere, but it does such a good job of incorporating many a proven iOS game mechanic ("endless" gameplay, constantly changing goals, adorableness, etc.) that I have a hard time imagining it doing poorly. Hopefully this will help to spread the word.

Six Guns feels like a missed opportunity. While it starts off an enjoyable enough romp, the issues mentioned start to have an impact on the overall enjoyment.

This is a great little game of small, guilty pleasures.
