For the fan, Real Football 2011 gives with one hand and takes away with the other. It ends up being balanced in their favour thanks to game options, but only just. For the casual player the latest update is just as playable as last year's game but with improved graphics and controls. Whether you go for this or FIFA 11 depends on how important the game options are when compared to FIFA's more realistic looking game.

Overall, the scope of Atari's Greatest Hits is amazing. It's certainly the best emulator on the App Store for content and presentation. If there were more control options or a modified version for the 2600 games then the package would be perfect.

It's average, its standard, its borderline moderate. It's kind of a generic medium regular.

Overall I would say this is one to avoid, unless you are particularly keen on Hidden Object games.

It's no GTA by any means, but Gameloft have still managed to build a city worth playing in, especially if you have the new hardware to experience it in its full glory.

While Woody Woodpecker does have its flaws, there's no doubt that this is a fun game that is well worth the asking price. It won't last forever, unless Chillingo decide to support it with further levels, but it's certainly entertaining while it lasts and with its colourful cast of characters, thanks to an interesting licence, it's a great little take on the Tiny Wings idea.

With such old-school sensibilities grafted onto such contemporary presentation, Boy Loves Girl can bring entertainment to both young and old, offering equal amounts of cheer and challenge. You will have to go far to find a game as pleasing, but why bother when this one is available?

Ultimately, whether you enjoy this App will depend on how thick your rose tinted glasses are and whether you can put up with some changes in control system to take the touch screen into account or stomach the price point for some of the less technical games.

Dungeon Defenders: First Wave is not the game many were hoping for and may disappoint on first play, but give the game time and forgive it the cluttered menu and you have a decent original title that deserves a play through.

Even in basic form, the game will appeal to younger fans but it's certainly best played with a portal at your side.

A valiant effort but sadly on this occasion it hasn't been worth the wait.

Amazing Spider-man is a surprisingly good attempt at bringing an open-world web-slinger game to iOS. While the game engine can't always handle the task without the occasional hiccup and controls aren't always responsive in the heat of battle, it still feels as if this is the game Spider-man fans have waited for.

For those who love mini tasks, collecting missions and don't mind a more casual take on adventure games with little in the way of taxing puzzles, The Island: Castaway will happily entertain you for hours. Those gamers looking for something with a little more challenge may find this game lacking. That said, the initial game is free and it's worth visiting the island at least once.

This is a title that focuses primarily on the fun inherent in the concept of possessing enemies. Whilst it most likely won't be appearing in the top 25 any time soon, it certainly is not one to dismiss instantly. For your money, you will be getting a hearty slice of retro-styled enjoyment of the kind that is not particularly prevalent anymore.

The level design encourages planning and more than just trial and error, the physics hit the spot and the graphics are well designed, but for anyone with an aversion for the hard sell within a game Jumpster doesn't do itself any favours. Retweet this!

The game leaves you with a feeling of mild disappointment and ultimately, the apathy felt throughout almost every aspect is what lets it down.

Only the slightly unreal feel of the physics themselves stand in the way of making this a perfect addition to the crop of physics puzzlers jostling for space on the App Store. It's still an enjoyable little game that's well worth picking up if you're interested by the idea of sticking pinball and physics puzzles together.

Even with its short run time, The Act is still easy to recommend as an excellent take on animated laserdisc games.

For a big Star Wars fan who also likes Tower Defence games it's still a good bet that you'll get some enjoyment out of this game, but I couldn't help feeling that there's a better use for the licence than this.

Overall, The Dark Knight Rises overcomes a few minor issues and provides fans with something worthy of the Batman name in a suitably shadowy Gotham playground.

Sprinkle Jr could have been a disaster, but removing the hazzards has actually made it a very enjoyable game that young players can really get a lot out of. With a fantastic physics engine, together with the great standard of graphics and audio, Mediocre has managed to create a bright and colourful playground for children.

Destructopus is a crazy concept that does a decent job at entertaining the masses with chaos and fire. What it doesn't do is keep the fire going, with many features left to be desired and the music annoying the tentacles out of me.

Dark Incursion is a great game but it is a little short, though what's there is fun to play. The controls work well which is a massive testament to a game of this sort, a lot of the run and gun style games fall flat on their faces because the controls are too complicated or just don't work.

With so many endless runners out there, Mini Ninjas doesn't feel like it does quite enough to stand out from the crowd, but the well designed graphics, use of different players and some nice power-ups still mean that it can be recommended to those fans looking for their next runner.

House of the Dead: Overkill - the Lost Reels is short but instantly playable. It's a very cut down version of a much loved game and doesn't offer much in the way of longevity, but with some clever controls and replayability thanks to the focus on score attack it's still worth a look for fans of lightgun games.

There are a lot of issues with Capcom's latest iOS fighter; framerate, controls and those ugly graphics, but the game is saved from total disappointment by just being what it is; a port of Marvel vs Capcom 2.

The lack of Multiplayer is disappointing, particularly in this day and age when Game Centre can take care of any match-making issues. This, coupled with the controls not quite living up to their potential, let the game down but MMA fans should still get a lot of enjoyment out of it.

Working around the controls is a hard feat although once you have completed all the levels that it has to offer, you do get used to them. That is if you can avoid throwing your iPhone across the room prior to the half way point!

It's fair to say those looking for the realistic game will want good physics and a challenge, the very things missing from Real Golf.. It may look the part when compared to Tiger Woods, but it just can't match the gameplay.

While Smurfs' Village isn't a game for everyone and involves a fair amount of patience, if you're a Smurfs fan or fond of games such as Farmville then you should really check it out. Be warned, though. Once you get into the game, it can be pretty addictive.

Ultimately, Zombie Crisis 3D is like a B-Movie; it lacks substance and style in the game but makes up for it in sheer unadulterated zombie-killing fun.

Rock(s) Rider has it's fair share of faults, mostly in setting levels which feel just the wrong side of unfair and having a camera which is zoomed in a little close. As with every other game in this genre, the physics isn't as good as it is in Redlynx's title by a long shot, the bike is often far too light to seem realistic.

The level design is interesting enough to make you think about how to get to the end of each level and the sketched comic book graphics which tell the story are very cute. It's just not enough to save the game from being just another generic platform game.

If you're a fan of the sport, can forgive a few control issues and don't mind that there are only basic defensive moves then NFL 2011 could be for you, but with Madden just around the corner it might find itself knocked off the top spot pretty soon.

As it stands it's a short, quirky and somewhat disappointing attempt at doing something different. Almost but not quite there yet.

Unfortunately SEED amounts to little more than a myriad of fetch quests strung together with badly scripted narrative and horrendous dialogue.

PES 2012 is a fairly solid game of Football, there's nothing seriously broken about it, but considering it arrives alongside its nearest rival FIFA 12, comparisons are not kind to the game. A control system that doesn't allow for enough fine tuning and questionable AI mean that PES2012 should be sitting on the bench this year.

Shrek fans will lap this decent game licence up and probably forgive the odd control and camera issues in favour of the story and voice acting. Kids in particular will love this game, but for most of us older gamers the action will be over before the fat Ogre roars.

Six Guns is a solid game with great graphics and some nice handling, but it feels hollow and bare. With no story to tie the game together and a freemium model that is all too ready to prompt you towards the store, it ends up missing the target.

If you're a big fan of score attack arcade games with big colourful graphics then Afterburner is your game. If you're looking for something a little deeper then look elsewhere.

So Aliens vs Predator: Evolution isn't perfect, but it is playable and pretty faithful to the franchise (bar using a facehugger as a helping hand on Alien missions). With decent graphics and 19 different levels, split between Predator and Alien sections, Evolution should give you a good run for your money.

It's not perfect, as the title might suggest, but certainly provides a fun, if short, challenge.

Chillingo's Superman doesn't live up to the lofty reputation of the man himself. It's playable, but nothing super.

For those who are looking for a challenge in a driving game and love the idea of big jumps and loops then this new version of Fumes Stunt Racer now comes highly recommended.

If you're seeking out a fantastic fighting game with precise controls and extremely deep gameplay then maybe you'd be better off with Street Fighter IV for the iOS. However, if you're a MK fan and want some of the brutal fun on-the-go, well EA have given me a million reason to recommend this as a brilliant option.

Breakout was a great game, I remember playing it when I was a little boy and loving it. It's just a shame that as the videogame industry have evolved, breakout hasn't. Compared to some of the games that have come out in recent years it just feels ancient.

Such a shame that they couldn't have done something with Paperboy, because all they have done is taken a game from the 80's, tried to put it on your iPhone and they've created a disappointingly awful throw away experience. This is one delivery I'd be happy to miss.

Just not as good as we'd expected it to be. Less than meets the eye, you might say.

The colours and look & feel of the game are fantastic, just for me it lacks a little bit in gameplay.

I really like what Fallen is trying to do. I like its premise and direction -- it's just that the game is let down in its execution.

Rayman 2 the Great Escape should stay on platforms akin to those for which it was intended, because this is essentially locking it back up behind bars to reminisce about sitting on the floor in front of the TV with a joypad in its magical floating hands.

With its simple approach to mimicking Borderlands on a console, the broken control system and lack of variety, Borderlands Legends feels like a missed opportunity and a bit of a cash-in, relying on the name alone to sell the game.

Ultimately this game is best avoided. Technical problems and lacklustre gameplay have ensured that Iron Man 2 may be Gameloft's biggest fall from grace to date.

While RIP Rally satisfies the basics of a twin stick shooter and does, at least, try to be a little different with the car theme, it simply falls down for being too drab and badly balanced. The handling and adverts just tip it over the 'do not buy' edge.

It's a disappointment to report that parts of of the game are fundamentally broken.

With poor controls and poor graphics I would be surprised if gamers kept this on their IOS device for more than a few hours, let alone pay to get in-game items.

It's frustrating, awkward and most importantly; not enjoyable.

With a multiplayer, bike customisation and a rethink of the boost system I could see Moto GP being a top racing title. As it stands it's still a fun arcade game for Moto GP fans, but offers little challenge or replay value once completed.

It's a wasted opportunity and doesn't do anything for the Monty Python name.

Unfortunately, the game only feels like it's partly there. There are huge chunks of missing potential for me, each of which would improve the game; penalties for not sticking to the track, a better AI and different handling over surfaces are just a few that I could name.

Visuals aside, Super Ball Escape is a wonderful little game that requires both a careful hand and a puzzle solving brain to escape each level.

I feel that this game could have been more than it offers and is a promising title for the future.

Clock Blocks is one of those games that, at the moment with travel chaos, can be a real time sink if you let it, with an addicting quick reset between deaths. Just don't expect a master piece of visual or sound.

Just an average JRPG with awful controls on the iPhone.

With a few more modes and the ability to play from a particular level Cookie Rush could have been brilliant. As it stands it's a little too sweet and a little too short on features , but just like the cookie it's not bad for a five minute break.

Despite these faults, though, Yoo Sports is a good looking and well put-together game and still offers good entertainment for the money, especially for younger players who won't mind about the low skill level.

If you enjoyed Dragon's Lair or Space Ace then Braindead 13 should be the next game on your list. It's quite similar in format and while not quite as good on the animation front, it makes up for this with a better control system and more freedom of choice.

What you should take away is that what you get out of the game will depend on how much you enjoy listening to music, and not much else.

Starball is the App Store's very own downloadable form of heroin, just without all the horrible complications. Starball is concentrated fun that gets into the bloodstream quicker than a vodka shot to the eye.

Give the game an inch however, and it'll steal a mile; Oh, My Word! 2 is deceptively good fun. Word-puzzle fans shouldn't think twice about snapping this up.

33rd Division doesn't take the time management genre in a radically new direction, ignoring this however, Craneballs have created the most refined time management game to date.

Ultimately Stair Dismount fails to be much more than a quick five minutes of fun.

Earthworm Jim is going to appeal primarily to mid-twenty something's who have fond memories of sitting cross legged on the floor about three feet away from the television.

The fact that it plays well is icing on the already sweet cake, just don't expect a white knuckle thrill ride or to see any red shells. The fat plumber isn't even close to being relieved of his crown. Not yet.

Whilst as an entertainment experience Super Shock Football is lacking, as a direct conversion it has scored a touchdown.

Swarm is hopelessly addictive; a quick 5 minute session after lunch can often be responsible for the loss of an entire afternoon.

At its current price of $2.99, Tumblebugs is difficult to recommend over its cheaper full-featured counterparts.

Ultimately your enjoyment of Hybrid: Eternal Whisper is likely to come down to two factors, a) how much time you're willing to invest in the game and b) your propensity to enjoy level grinding and skill upgrading.

Dash over to the App Store and pick up this cunningly addictive game now for the miniscule price of $0.99. Guaranteed, once you start "RUN!"-ing (sorry, we just had to say it), you'll find it hard to stop those quick feet.

he graphics are sublime on the whole and the app will likely join the ranks of Real Racing and 2XL Supercross in terms of iPhone games you whip out to show your friends just how capabale the iPhone is.

Quite a smart little puzzle shooter. It lacks any real depth (apart from the 3 Star thing) so probably won't keep your attention that long. But it is quite a bit of fun while it lasts, and will kill more than a few minutes here and there as you dip in and out as you try to 'complete' the levels.

I still find it strange that I like AnimalPop as much as I do. It's one of those games you can pick up and play instantly, and can continue to dip in and out of for weeks to come.

With no levels to speak of, no great variation in theme, the game just becomes stale far too quickly.

While I don't want to appear too harsh a critic for a small game such as this, I feel that the idea itself is too limited to create a whole game from. With a bit of deviation in theme, by having weapons for both the savage and the guards, power ups, different play areas with obstacles etc, the game could actually turn out to be a worthy addition to your App collection, but as it stands King's Orders is far too basic to sustain any long term interest.

This game has already been done before, and didn't need doing again.

The AI, too, is quite bad.

Red Bull Kart Fighter is a game that takes an hour or two to really get to grips with, quite literally! Don't be put off by the initial difficulties, because once you have overcome them, the experience is enjoyable and starts to become heaps of fun.

The game is as horrible as it is clunky.

Don't get me wrong, it is a solid little game and most importantly it works. The controls, although not pinpoint, do give you enough control to get from A to B via X and Y whilst avoiding Z. And if you like puzzlers, like I do, this one will keep you entertained for hours. But don't expect any Wows from this. It ticks all the boxes above, but nothing more.

The feature I most enjoyed about the App was the variety of enemies available.

It's hard to resist those cute little rotund aliens who just want to get home and so, despite its length, The Marbians makes up for the lack of game time on charm and great level design.

While Anooki Jump still has the same faults as any Endless Jumper, that there isn't much more than the initial jumping up the screen to score points to the game, the scoring system is robust and with Openfeint and Game Center integration and Achievements, those who enjoy beating high scores will be in their element.

Crazy Monkey have done a great job in creating a fresh approach to Tower Defence, with the added RPG elements and story only adding to the quality of the finished product. It may require a little grinding or a lot of money to progress, but the effort is always rewarding.

Only the small number of levels disappoint, but the developer is promising that more updates are on the way soon. If you manage to fight your way through the stationary then expect to commence battle again shortly.

Fruit Tumble isn't exactly original, there are a number of Luxor clones around and it doesn't really do anything new, but what it lacks in originality it makes up for in charm and colour.

It is fun to play in short bursts, and perhaps in short bursts it might last you a little while. If you like long gaming sessions though, it can easily be done in a few hours. Hopefully in future updates Strange Games will add new chapters that are a lot harder, and integration with Game center.

A return to form for Telltale and big technical improvement over recent games. It mixes the best of the well-loved series with the best of point and click interfaces and comes up with a winning combination.

With new rides appearing in regular updates, Funpark Friends does provide a level of progression and a goal system that some players will be happy to work through, but without the strategy that comes from balancing budgets or catering to visitors, it all feels a little empty.
