    It's dumb and it's cruel, and I'm not even a PETA supporter. I can't wait for Bulls to gain human sentience randomly during a run and start killing organizers and capturing them and pitting them in events where they run away from rampaging bulls in a fight for, hey wait.

    DrawRace uses hand drawn characters and artwork, and has a fast paced soundtrack to keep you pumped up. If you are at all into line drawing games, and or are a fan of slot racing games, this is a must have.

    The trick is, your first few attempts each time give better results, since as you get tired, your performance drops. As a results the game creates some descent replay ability.

    A notable 'awesome' factor to Samurai II: Dojo is the 'bullet time' which eases the difficulty a bit. Whenever you enter this slowed down moment, your next attack on an enemy will 'execute' them.

    The frantic pace might just be perfect for others, but for me personally, I just didn't like the pace or gameplay controls.

    Battleships is the kind of puzzler that is super easy to learn and tough to solve. So sit back, relax, and get ready to give your medulla oblongata a good workout.

    The graphics are 3D, clean and the audio and sound effects are super realistic. More maps could help improve the game's value. Overall, a pretty fun MMO fighter, and a lot of users are already onboard.

    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.

    Admittedly, when you strip away all the fancy design aspects, Vetica is a pretty basic game and won't necessarily wow people, but the font gimmick is a good one, and the game itself is solid and satisfying.

    If you enjoyed Doodle Jump and Mega Jump, and miss playing Pac-Man, PAC'N-JUMP will be on your top played list in no time. It's a perfect game to pick up and play when you have a few moments to burn.

    If you like your trivia with a healthy side of snark and a touch of risque, age hasn't mellowed You Don't Know Jack one bit, and it emerges onto the app scene as a very smart and sharp challenge for grown-ups.

    It's clear there's a market for point-and-click adventure games on the iPhone, and Broken Sword II is a very fine addition.
    • 81 Metascore

    The only issue I found in this game is that game state is not saved if you quit the app. Otherwise Shibuya is a perfect little puzzler.

    Overall, Shift!:2 is a great sequel to the original mind bender. If you enjoyed the first version, Shift 2 is a no brainer.

    Office Chaos is a great game to play not only to get out the frustrations that must mount from working in an office environment, but because killing a red-eyed creature advancing on you with a fax machine is so satisfying.

    • 80 Critic Score
    This game is highly addictive. I could not tear myself away from it. Maybe it is only because I have not played a platformer game in a long time, but I found King Rupert to be a total blast.

    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.

    This is a really strong entry from Crescent Moon Games.

    The physics in the game are actually quite solid, and the gameplay is challenging enough to get you hooked for a while.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    There's a lot to like about this little game: excellent writing, nice graphics, and puzzles that are actually fun to solve. Truthfully, the only complaint I had was the length of the game, and even then, it wasn't that I felt cheated in any way; I was just eager for more.

    I enjoyed Perfect Cell, but it wasn't the masterpiece I was really hoping for. It's definitely an interesting and innovative game, but with its relatively high price tag of $4.99, I would expect much smoother controls, at the very least. Bottom line, it's not bad, but with a little more work, it really could have been great.
    • 86 Metascore

    If you enjoyed Plants vs. Zombies, then Pro Zombie Soccer is a close second. It just needs a dash of movable play to give it what it lacks in terms of gameplay.

    Altogether, I really enjoyed this game. Squareball is a rare game to experience because simplistic awesomeness doesn't come around very often. I have experienced some crashing which forced me to replay some levels, so I really hope that gets patched up soon since I really want to recommend this app for everyone to try.
    • tbd Metascore

    My major wish for this app? A ricochet-path line to see exactly where my shots are going and a touch and drag style aiming system. Tapping the screen is just too inaccurate sometimes.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    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.

    Is Forget-Me-Not better than Pac-Man? I'm not sure I'd go that far. But it's one of the best iPhone games I've seen, and I enthusiastically recommend it.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It's a very simple but fast paced game, appropriate for all ages and does pretty much exactly what it says, but I wasn't terribly impressed, and even though it is a shiny universal app, for $1.99, I was expecting more.

    It's a very original idea for a puzzle game, and hasn't been done a lot compared to those Tetris knock offs. Unfortunately I didn't find a free version in the app store, so this would be a gamble, but ok for those who are into puzzle games.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It's a trifle bland and on the generic side, but thanks to shiny graphics and an overall profession finish, it still manages to be a decent distraction for $0.99. Nothing outstanding, but still fun for a few minutes here and there.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The $1.99 tag is a good price for this app. It is a fun game, simple, challenging, and a great app to kill some free time. There is also a lite version.

    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 dream come true for any iPhone racing fan out there. If you haven't played it before, you're in for a treat. About as good as you will find right now in the App Store.

    If I have one complaint about Extreme_Formula it is that the controls are not achieved through tilting. I think it would feel more like a race if I were gripping my iPhone as if it were a steering wheel. I otherwise had a great time racing.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    I did kind of like the cute, but gory graphics, but they didn't jump out as particularly eye-catching or innovative, which is basically how I felt about the game as a whole: it was okay, but mostly derivative and nothing really special.

    I recommend Gravonaut simply because its gameplay should be experienced just for the experience. The gravity control is interesting, but I fear some folks might hate the level design after a few dozen deaths.

    I really enjoyed Bug Heroes. It's addictive, has tons of content, levelable characters with lots of variety and upgrades, lots of different enemy types, and it is one of the best tower-defense/scrolling shooters I've played on the iPhone.

    • 82 Metascore

    The chipper animations and bright illustrations are Retina ready and appropriate for all ages, and in addition to being charming to look at, it's ultimately just a really pleasant game to play and well worth the $0.99 download.

    I won't deny that Bop It has a very clean user and kid-friendly interface, and it can be fun, if rather hyperactive, but the overall experience is undeniably awkward on the iPhone and it's a far cry from the toy's humble, molded plastic origins.

    Overall, the game has a lot of new material, and has potential to be good, although it is super annoying having to deal with that red arrow. Until they remove that my advice is to stay clear and go with the original.

    Earth Defense Force is excellent and should be played by anyone who enjoys sidescroller shooters. Maybe when they fix the V-Pad control scheme and expanded the game through some more patches, I can proclaim this game to be a full 5 star.

    It would be great if Biscuit Games would add more features to make it feel like I am in a colosseum. They can do this by including boss monsters on every five or ten levels and maybe include a way to judge your performance such as spectators throwing tomatoes at you if you are doing poorly or helpful items if you are doing a great job.
