    While it's not an audio-visual pleaser, this iPhone app will challenge the mind and keep users playing.

    Flying Hamster is truly a ridiculous app. Penguins using umbrellas as weapons and cows shooting deadly udder milk does not make a lot of sense but the controls are intuitive and your adversaries are hysterical which is reason enough to give the game a try.

    Even though everything in the title is very well done, there just isn't enough of it to justify the expensive price tag for this iPad and iPhone app.

    City of Secrets is a very eye-catching and solid game, but the story and characters are too forgettable for this to become a true adventure classic.

    A solid game. It has its flaws, but we have to believe they'll be ironed out as Gamevil receives feedback. It's a free download that relies on in-app purchases, but the core of the title can be played for free. If you have an iOS device and like boxing, give it a shot.

    I am not a fan of in game purchases, but in an RPG I think it's criminal. The only reason you would need to purchase more coin is (unless you just plain suck at it) if the game didn't really have enough for the player to collect in a reasonable way and in a reasonable amount of time to begin with.

    In my case, I really couldn't stand the talking fruit, and I initially thought the game was too simple to really be good, but then I COULDN'T STOP PLAYING.

    The controls were simple enough to where you could figure out what to do with the new weapon with little to no inconvenience.

    It's gorgeous, it's immersive, and most of all, it's an enormous amount of fun. While a multiplayer mode is sadly absent, the achievements and single-player story alone should be more than enough to make this title worth your while.

    For now though, you can enjoy this app as it is similar to those Fire Emblem games but without the story substance or Japanese anime graphics. Maybe try Tin Town out if you are interested in mind-bending surrealism in your apps.

    Etolis: Arena is fun because of its refined gameplay. It really feels like they play tested to make sure the controls work responsively and that the action is paced well.

    All problems aside, Gangstar Rio is a decent open-world adventure. It's not the best, but it's also not the worst.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A fairly enjoyable app with a few noteworthy setbacks. Those who are seeking a very long adventure or those who become frustrated very easily with poor controls may wish to avoid the app, as it is significantly lacking in these aspects. For those who are looking for an advanced RPG game and can overlook these setbacks, however, look no further than Fara.

    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.

    Definitely not a game to beat in one sitting, rather a casual play which you could fire up for those small periods of waiting in your day, like waiting for the bus. Gorilla Gondola is definitely a fun app to have on your device.

    • 90 Critic Score
    Although I wasn't completely enthralled by the story, the app itself is very beautifully produced and a stellar example of how to make the most of interactive storytelling on the iPhone and iPad, and it's definitely worth checking out if you're a gaming or comics fan.

    So, 10 levels, gun and swordplay, a really great combo system that has both style and substance, and really great graphics, this is one heck of an app. Dynamic action is hard to nail down in app form but Devil May Cry 4 Refrain is great.

    After a long time with Inotia 3, I can honestly say that it was very forgettable. The game is just not that interesting beyond the graphics. I really can't recommend such an average yet pricey game.

    Overall, this iOS version of TETRIS is nice to look at but a step in the wrong direction for EA and their Mobile team.
    • 64 Metascore

    An original RPG game that has a ton of potential, and worth checking out. Hopefully the developers continue to release updates and improvements to the game. There is talk of them also creating an online version of the game which should be interesting.

    NBA 2K12 is an ideal mobile game for basketball enthusiasts. With authentic rosters, a full season mode, and a Jordan mode which lets you recreate 10 of the legend's most iconic performances, NBA 2K12 will fill your basketball fix for a long time to come.

    Story mode was also much shorter than I expected, but Survival, Puzzle, and something called Gauntlet mode help to up the replay value a bit, as well as Game Center integration.

    This may be hard to believe, but playing Sticky is a real challenge. The orange ball sticks to just about everything, so using the scrolling shooter to catapult him toward a toxin is an acquired skill that takes time to work on. Sticky is loads of fun.

    While Catball Eats It All won't appeal to everyone and does have some control issues, it's easy to overlook these flaws as the app costs only $0.99 and universally runs on all iOS device types.

    The graphics are top notch with hand drawn characters and plenty of different plush toys to collect. The color and lighting are perfect for this game, but strangely enough it only works with one orientation - not a huge issue, but definitely a little odd.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The game is suitable and entertaining for all ages so it's a handy one to have in a boring situation. The levels are also short, so you can put it away and carry on later if you have other things interrupting your play time.

    Overall, Gunstar Heroes was a pretty good experience for me. It does a fairly good job of keeping itself fresh without losing its authenticity. While there are definite places in which it can improve, I think it's a great time-passer and is a good addition to anyone's app collection.

    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.

    While loading up Real Steel, I went into it thinking that it was just another app of trying to cash in on a movie, without putting in any real effort. And I must admit, I was wrong in every way.

    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.

    Feed-the-Duck is pleasant and challenging, but not without its flaws. It's not ready to steal Angry Birds' spotlight yet, but it's still a good way to spend a bus ride or a wait in line.

    WWE WrestleFest for iPhone is the perfect game for any nostalgic WWE fan. It features an arcade type gameplay with just enough realism to keep any die-hard fan coming back for more. THQ has a winner with WWE WrestleFest, and that's the bottom line, 'cause Stone Cold said so.

    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.

    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.

    I confess, I really wanted this app to be great, but history has shown time and time again that licensed games tend to be pretty disappointing, and Doctor Who: The Mazes of Time is no exception. While it's far from a total failure, it just doesn't really satisfy.

    It would be great if Biscuit Games would add more features to make it feel like I am in a colosseum.
