    While the game is fun, it does take a lot of carefully coordinated movement. Failure to do so can result in a poor experience.

    You will feel the urge to beat your rival quite often, so you end up replaying levels until you can obtain all of the apples and maybe beat your previous score. The routes are always a challenge, and I assure you that there will be multiple attempts involved. I love a good trial, and Granny Smith provides just that.

    If you're a fan of old-school Final Fantasy games, then you definitely won't want to miss Dimensions.

    It has cute graphics and animation, and is definitely hard to put down. It is reasonably priced and, although there is a glitch in the control mechanism, it is a good buy.

    It's incredibly fun and addictive. I like the added challenge of outwitting a foe in a duel, and the increased difficulties. It's a refreshing change in a tired genre.

    The game itself is fantastic - it has a rich story with several big surprises, fun gameplay, and plenty of content.

    A unique little game with super cute graphics. It is fun to play for a few minutes at a time, so if you're looking for something different, I'd give it a try.

    Definitely a cool game wrapped in a challenging package.

    This is a fantastic version of a traditional dungeon crawl.

    Mikey Shorts is a game that truly has something for everyone. Want to have fun? Story mode. Looking for a serious challenge? Challenge mode. Mikey Shorts is well worth its $0.99 download price.

    Pile features Game Center support for leaderboards, so you can see how good you are at stacking up those blocks against other people from across the globe.

    This is a fantastic game. It is even easier to play than the original board game, although the concept is the same. Think of it as a twist on solitaire, only you don't have to play this game alone.

    The graphics are crisp and look great on Retina devices, the music and sound effects are charming and humorous, and the gameplay is fun and addictive.

    As word games go, this one is plenty of fun. It is challenging, but not the least bit difficult.

    If you're a fan of Fruit Ninja, you will love Jack Lumber.

    While I still like the game, it's not perfect. The controls need a bit more work, especially having an option to directly go down platforms rather than jumping first. Oh, and strafing would be nice - currently, you can only move forward while shooting, but not shoot while moving backwards.

    Tread of the Dead may have simplistic gameplay, but it's fun because it is one of those great casual games that you can pick up and play for just a few minutes at a time.

    The graphics and music are also excellent, and really hit home for someone that grew up with the retro classics.

    This is an entertaining arcade game that is similar to match-three puzzles, but mixes things up by making the colors constantly move. It also has elements of tap action arcade gaming, so fans of either genre can get into this app.

    As I played the game on my iPhone, it can be a bit hard to see where you're going if your finger is in the way all the time.

    At first, the game starts off slow, as you would expect from any simulation game. But as you get the ball rolling, it's quite hard to put this down. I love the fact that it combines two of the most addictive types of games into one, so it's just that much more enjoyable.

    It's a hilarious game that features satire (fast food corporations), vintage graphics and music, a challenge, and lots of fun. Best of all, it's free, so there's no reason not to.

    If you are a fan of puzzle games, specifically these type of trapped room games, you will likely get quite a bit of enjoyment out of Edna and Harvey. Just make sure you go into it with a patient attitude and a desire to explore every aspect of the game, because that is definitely what is asked of players. This is not a game for those of you who are easily frustrated.

    This is a must-have title for your iPhone and iPad. It's a casual game that fits both casual players as well as the hardcore gamers that want a challenge.

    I found it to be rather fun and addictive, and while it looks simple in the beginning, it quickly gets difficult, presenting a real challenge. Perfectionists will spend some time getting everything in here.

    It may be cute, but the gameplay leaves a lot to be desired.

    The core of this game, though, is filled with fun and frantic gameplay. Being able to control the game's music is the cherry on top. This is definitely a cool and quirky game. Tower defense fans will definitely do well to grab a copy before Tadstock blows it up.

    With Super Mole Escape, think of Jetpack Joyride, except it is vertical rather than horizontal. This alone makes the game feel refreshing and new, already worthy of being in your collection.

    Even though this is a clone of an already popular game, it is still fun. No, you don't want to buy it if you already own SpellTower. It isn't as good. However, if you have not yet experienced the game this is modeled after, it is a fun word game that combines arcade action with spelling.

    Other than the wonky online multiplayer mode, this game is lots of fun.
