    An amazing program that you will find yourself going back to over and over again. Whether you are in it to squish the skeletons, or just to make the perfect pizza, this program is one that belongs on any iOS device.

    This app offers a very fun style of play and is easy to get into. It's free, so there's no reason not to at least try it. If you're anything like me, you'll find yourself playing it more and more. I can easily see myself playing this app for a while. There are no major problems that I could find.

    Overall, the concept of Cut the Buttons is a good one. It's a unique and fun game, but it isn't always easy to play.

    If you're only a casual fan of the genre, then you likely won't get much value out of the game. The truth is, unless some changes are made so that the game features more cohesive storytelling, there are a lot of better applications on the App Store for you to spend your money on.

    Solomon's Boneyard is free. There are in app purchases but they are not necessary. This game is easy to pick up since whenever you leave the game, it will let you resume where you left off.

    This is currently the best fighting game I have played on iOS by some margin, the graphics really are very good and the control response is fine, but there is one serious issue around SoulCalibur for iOS, and that is its price.

    Overall, if you are willing to shell out the extra $3 for the Booster Packs you'll be happy with the 200 extra levels, otherwise you'll be done playing this game in less than 5 minutes. Worth a try if you're an old school arcade fan.

    Puzzlejuice will mess you up in a good way. It's amazing soundtrack music alone is reason enough to grab this game. The minimal style pastel colored graphics are fun and inspiring.

    You get all the thrills of building up your kingdom, taking down smaller ones, and defending yourself against outraged rivals. However, in the later stages it is going to be a little tough to play unless you're willing to dish out some in-app purchase dough.

    The control system has been copied over too many times to count, and even the stellar graphics can't save the iPhone app from feeling a little tired by the end of an hour or so of playtime.

    Graphics in this game are colorful and creative, while the characters resemble children's drawings, adding to the appeal of the game. It almost makes you feel like you are part of a sophisticated fairy tale.

    On top of having a great, in depth story line, it also provides tons of customization which will keep you wanting to come back and replay the game all over again.

    At first Save the Furries! is very fun, but it can get very difficult later on, a little too difficult to really be justified. However, if you like challenges you will like this. The graphics, controls and audio are all very good and fit the world perfectly, so at least you won't have to worry about faulty controls messing you up. The 4 dollar price tag could turn a lot of potential casual iOS gamers away as well.

    I wouldn't really call this app anything too special. It may be nice if you want a very, very short app to play around with when you're waiting for something to cook in the microwave, or during a few commercials. However, it doesn't really carry much replay value or anything that would make me come back and want to get right back into it.

    Overall, I'd say that it's worth trying the app out, if you actually have the space for it. Though definitely not the best app out there.

    If you want a real taste of what Mega Man X is, pick up a console or top loader and play the original. Having said that, MEGA MAN X is a fun game, especially for those who don't have a SNES emulator or just want a mobile alternative.

    Aemula Oldies S is a perfect little app for anyone who wants to go back to their retro floppy disc days. There are inline ads when you're going throughout the game picking menu, which is not too bad to deal with. Overall I'm really happy that there is finally a DOS emulator in the App Store. Best of all, it's a free download.

    Despite a lack of new content, Sentinel 3: Homeworld is a challenging app, especially if you like tower defense games. The controls and graphics are great, sure to delight even those new to this genre.

    Overall, I'd say that this application is pretty top notch. My only real problem, which I stated earlier in the review, is the control system. If they release an update that fixes that minor problem, it will be absolutely perfect.

    The controls work surprisingly well and don't get in the way like they do with some similar iPhone games. Overall, including the fact that the game is absolutely free, I'd say that Zenonia 4 is a definite must-buy app.

    Snoticles is a very fun iOS game from Adult Swim and you will get hours of fun out of this app. Between the different characters and the difficult puzzles, difficult in the later stages at least, you will be challenged to a fun degree that does not become too annoying.

    It's easy to get started and to keep going, and this app can keep you busy with all the new upgrades and challenging new maps. Once you make your first tank and decimate the field, you will be hooked.

    If you want to play a fun soccer game, then Real Soccer 2012 can definitely give you that experience. The controls are good, and the graphic are above average, plus the game is free to download and works on both iPad and iPhone.

    Overall, the Halo Waypoint app is an immensely valuable tool for anyone with an iPhone or iPad, containing a plethora of features. For those who are serious about getting the most from Reach, one of the most advanced tools available is the Waypoint iphone app.

    It would be really cool if the developers added an actual one on one fight mode to Ice Rage. The game also lacks online multiplayer capabilities as of right now. If the developers add these 2 features, this game would be perfect. However, these are not hard to overlook once you get into the game. Ice Rage is a fun, fast paced hockey game and works on most newer iOS devices. You get inexpensive hockey gaming action.

    Instantly addictive and therefore is a fun way to spend idle time. It doesn't require a lot of thought, which makes it a new favorite for activities such as waiting in a long line at a store. For this and the zombie aspect alone, it is easily worth the .99 that Apple is charging for it.

    Pulse: Volume One is an iPad app to cherish-and to keep on hand if the kids are bored in the back seat. It's so fun that the Angry Birds guys must be jealous.

    It's not really an intellectually satisfying or especially challenging puzzle game, but the heady triumph of finding all the elements is hard to top. It may not be very deep, but Doodle God is about as simple, accessible, and gorgeously presentable a game as you're going to find.

    Even though there are already tons of other zombie shooting games available for the iPad and iPod touch , Call of Mini is a great deal at only $0.99.

    The graphics, as a whole, have a really specific charm to them. They aren't anything over the top or too special, but they're still cute and keep you tuned in.
