My only complaint would be that load times can seem a little long for when I'm trying to get a quick game in during a commercial break on television or something, but it's certainly worth waiting for - it's also totally understandable when considering the detail in the levels that's been squeezed onto our little devices.

The lack of fidelity in the controls can be a bit frustrating, but these issues usually resolve themselves quickly enough to get on with enjoying the game. The story is fairly entertaining, but the real joy of this game comes from a depth not often seen in iOS games.

With level ratings like "Excelsior" and level select screens that mimic comic book layouts, any Marvel fan will feel at home in this app and they'll find plenty of familiar faces to welcome them.

Despite the problematic controls that occasionally get in the way, Elevator Zombies is still a lot of fun. Having a bit more diversity to the buildings (i.e. special level conditions specific to each theme) would have been cool and seems like a missed opportunity, but there's still plenty of old-school goodness to appease fans of the long-dead franchise.

8 Bit Rally brings the total package in terms of retro style revivals. The graphics, sound, and gameplay are all top notch, and even though the game is obviously inspired by older titles, Photon Creations managed to add their own depth and charm to arcade racing.

Watch Out Danger Ahead's approach to the platforming genre is simple and its concept is even kind of original. While this is no Mario, it's a decent, unique twist on platforming.

If you're looking for a new "take" on match three games, you may find Chainz Galaxy appealing, though at $9.99 it's way out of line with similar games on the App Store. Still, there's some good gameplay here, but don't look for anything too innovative.

For less than a dollar, there really aren't too many better experiences out there.

I cannot emphasize enough how overpriced Luxor HD is. $9.99 for a simple arcade-style game, no matter how well realized, is just too much to ask. I suggest waiting for the inevitable release of Zuma for the iPad.

iDaTank pulls together some great mechanics and blends them in an interesting way. The levels and enemies keep things interesting and the leveling up and upgradable weapons will keep players engaged. The game is much deeper than it seems at first glance and players will be pleasantly surprised.

Tiny Lights is absolutely frustrating. I don't mean in the sense of its challenge, I mean that its existence is frustrating.

With four worlds (five levels each) and unlimited replay value, 1-bit Ninja is a worthwhile purchase for old schoolers, new schoolers, and anyone else looking for a challenging retro platformer.

The game has a great charm to it, with plenty of humor to boot.

Fans of bright explosions and shiny ships will love this one, and the teleportation brings a little something new to the genre.

Whether or not Fantastic Knight is "better" than those other action RPGs is entirely a matter of opinion. Whether or not it's "comparable" is a bit more cut-and-dry. Because it is comparable.

Compelling stuff. It's challenging after a while and will occasionally make the player want to tear their hair out as on the 50th attempt, they struggle to get past that pesky last corner.

A fantastic game. It plays smoothly and slicing through wave after wave of enemies is so satisfying. The art style is beautiful, and the various enemy types keep the game from getting stale.

Hugely fun, very well made and is just the sort of thing that will keep me coming back over and over again in an attempt to better my scores, and hopefully those of my friends.

Playing Clever Buttons is an absolute joy, not least of all because it's simple art is so charming.

It is a safe bet that proponents of the first episode will likely enjoy Episode Two, and if Telltale's track record in the adventure game genre is any indication, the whole Back to the Future game series is likely going to reach classic status down the road.

The puzzles let Back to the Future Episode 4 down but it's the storyline that keeps players engrossed.

My masculinity might have dropped a few notches for enjoying Bathtime Boogie so much, but it was well worth the sacrifice.

My only complaint with playing Dragon's Lair 2 on the iPhone is that the on-screen buttons take a lot of the focus away from the animation that made the series so great in the first place.

Chroisen manages to offer some great replayability with multiple character classes and a "rebirth" mode after completing the main game. It is a shame that there are only 3 save slots and 4 characters, but that's a small oversight that could easily be fixed via update.

Players that enjoy physics puzzlers will find lots in this game to keep them happy. Otherwise, players may get tired of the levels that don't vary much and only get more and more complex and demanding.

Episode 3 isn't the strongest episode thus far with seemingly all the focus placed on plot progression rather than offering clever puzzles. It'll still keep players interested though and has certainly piqued my interest ready to try Episode 4.

This was a great first effort from a developer that shows real talent and promise. At the very least, they deserve a chance to show us what else they can do.

Zombilution has a lot going for it in the way of creative gameplay concepts and interesting mechanics, but the game's controls and some development shortcuts keep it from being a truly brilliant and enjoyable game.
