Vampire Origins provides solid shoot'em up action while avoiding the stale boring game play that so many titles in this genre reach. An achievement system through Crystal With good graphics, a respectable sound track, and complex puzzles, it's an easy recommendation for casual and hardcore gamer alike.

While Urban Ninja may be a bit stiff at times with the control of the eponymous ninja, it can't detract from the great concept and the way the game splendidly explores its puzzle platforming for all its worth.

As much as I enjoyed playing UFO On Tape, I couldn't help but feel that there just wasn't enough.

Overall, Tunnel Shoot is a fun, simple game. It's a great casual shooter that's easy to figure out, but very difficult to master.

Tumbledrop just oozes cuteness. Thankfully, there's a substantial, challenging physics puzzle underneath that sugar-sweet skin.

It isn't cool, doesn't possess even a touch of originality, and doesn't tie into the movie very well at all. I just don't understand, the TRON brand is way too cool for this game. I'd be so much happier with a remake of the original Midway TRON game.

Trenches is an excellent RTS (real-time strategy) game with no direct goals to urge you onward. If that sounds fine to you, go ahead-give it a try.

Even with the graphics as bad as they were, the gameplay is such that the package is a must play experience.

An impressive first offering from its designer, with a neat new spin on the puzzle app. Puzzle fans should definitely check it out.

If you are looking for a new line-drawing game to conquer, or just like to rack up high scores (although there is no global leader board, just Facebook Connect… sad), Train Conductor 2 will keep you entertained for some time.

The Voxel Agents have put together a highly polished app that looks good and controls perfectly. The only thing currently holding it back is a slight lack of depth, which can feasibly be addressed via the intended updates.

Touch Pets: Dogs is hands-down the best pet sim the App Store has yet seen, and it adds one more quality title to ngmoco's impressive catalog. Whether or not you're willing to invest the time and money in a virtual pet is another matter entirely.

The level of control I have over my racer provides a certain degree of addictive game play and keeps me wanting to play more.

Arcade baseball fans will get a kick out of Big Hit Baseball for a little while, but the game as a whole just doesn't invoke memories of Cracker Jacks at the ball game… it feels like sitting through a bad little league game with pitchers who can't pitch and fielders who can't field.

The very best RTS the App Store has to offer. Everything works well, the controls are tight, the story is surprisingly captivating, and the battles actually seem like battles, not chores.

As long as you aren't offended by the dark humor and enjoy a good retro platform puzzler, I think it's safe to say that Karoshi is a real winner.

A simple little game, a great little co-opting of two classic game concepts mashed up into one. It's the Reese's Peanut Butter Cup of games.

Romance of Rome is a classic example of quality over quantity. It would have been nice if this Hidden Object game could have been a little lower in price, though.

Don't be fooled by the traditional match 3 exterior, Charmed is a gravity fueled throw-down.

Crystal Soul offers some interesting Match Three mechanics alongside RPG elements but it's in need of a tutorial.

Puckerz! is one of those games that's truthfully somewhat shallow, but despite this, it's easy-to-play nature gives it an addictive quality.

In my opinion, it's a bit of a mess, lacking any real tie in to the movie, or reality. It does have a great 80's inspired sound track, though, and that just about covers the price of admission for me.

Activision's efforts in creating a faithful port of a hit console game a decade old was successful and should be applauded. The virtual control scheme, while not perfect, works; it just may take some players a little time to adjust to it before they're comfortable with the controls.

If funny Japanese things don't interest you, then DO NOT buy this one… you'll like it about as much as a scorpion bite. But, if the insanity of the land of the rising sun is your thing, then get it now.

Splinter Cell Conviction may not live up to what its name might cause you to expect at times, but judged on its own, this is a solid action game with light stealth elements and fantastic graphics.

TipTop's plot is linear…a bunch of stupid, well-meaning heroes are on a quest to save the world. But the game itself is incredibly fun to play. The controls are good, the tempo is quick, the artwork is fantastic, and the sense of humor present in the plot just makes it even more fun.

A game that suffers more in its execution than it does its technical capacity.

An exceptionally well designed, visually pleasing and frantically challenging action title.
