Call of Cthulhu: The Wasted Land is a great concept gone to waste as players are forced to deal with game design concepts that belong to another era.

It's hard to say who 'Doctor Who: The Mazes of Time' is for; fans are liable to balk at the sterile world and those unfamiliar with the series will find the unexplained characters and set-pieces frustrating - it's still a half-decent puzzler, but it's only really connected to Doctor Who in name only.

Centipede: Origins is a fun upgrade to a classic shooter, but until updates address the poor interface design, this is a game suited primarily for iPad users alone.

The Act could easily be compared to Dragon's Lair. Both are superbly animated experiences, but are quite low on the gameplay side of things. This will amuse, but don't expect any lasting enjoyment or replayability.

A fun rolling platform with a lot to offer, that is somewhat marred by its control scheme.

A nice introduction to the endless runner genre (or in this case the endless flyer). Pleasant visuals but there are some balance issues.

Grow Away! suffers for its generally repetitive task of gunning down enemies, but the variety of enemies; boss fights; and 'companion' vegetables to explore and use make for a strangely addicting experience.

An intriguing name, an intriguing setup, and an intriguing approach to a puzzle game. While it feels that the presentation and controls could have warranted more attention, this will provide some amusement to puzzle fans.

What could be a very enjoyable acrobatic endless runner is hampered by an unresponsive and tiring control scheme.

A competent physics puzzler with some great design and style. The preciseness required might cause some to steer clear however.

ADVENA's party-play Action-RPG combat is a blast be it offline or online, but you'll have to cut through the usual swathe of clunky interface designs, poor translations and level grinding to truly enjoy the beat'em-up gameplay.

Death Golf is an action-packed re-imagining of the game many know and some (unexplained by science) love, but aside from the unique concept, the execution feels weak and hard to enjoy.

Provides an fun challenge for those who don't mind their games taking less time than it takes to watch a commercial, but attempting to master this title is an excercise in humiliation.

A Breakout style game with Pong style paddles all wrapped up in a machine-punk presentation.

Karateka fails to excite as it expects players to enjoy short and repetitive bouts of tapping without any real input in to the outcome of each fight beyond their skill at 'timing' - you could save Mariko three times, but saving her once proves to be once too many times already.

Bright, fun and definitely amusing - Burrito Bison brings Juicy Beast's gummy-bear-squishing classic to the iOS platform, but it misses a critical opportunity to flesh things out from the Flash-based original.

It's not quite Typing of the Dead, but Font Monsters tries something different and while it's not terribly exciting it has some cleverly animated designs that are fun to check out.

The Saboteur is another decent port of a larger franchise to the App Store and only suffers minor gameplay issues that keep it from being truly great.

An interesting idea plagued by game speed that's far too slow, making the whole ordeal rather boring.

Another physics flinger based on a fun premise that will offer some amusement before you move onto the next 'flavor of the month' in this genre.

Part Lunar Lander, part Bionic Commando, Rusty Orb has a neat premise coupled with the potential for fun gameplay, but it never fully reaches that potential.

While the reason you're playing is nice and all, Jump for Fish just doesn't have enough to keep players hooked and motivated.

Presented with wit and style, Fist of Awesome is a good old-fashioned arcade romp with some seriously entertaining sound effects.

MEGA MAN X isn't quite the game you remember, even if it follows the same beats; when a modern device can't replicate an 18 year old game it's time to go back to the drawing board.

Captain Puzzle shows that you don't have to be bigger and better to compete with a major title, but its unique puzzle style isn't as polished as it could be.

Dead Trigger pushes the visual boundaries of iDevices, but much like its shambling antagonists there's not a lot going on upstairs.

A true time waster in the sense that the minutes will whisk away as you plow through level after level of bouncing aliens around collecting lightning orbs. A decent play, but nothing memorable.

A fun diversion, which is what a holiday should be, but seeing that the destination is space, you would expect something a little more engaging.

If you enjoy your physics flingers, Cyto is certainly another one.

Brainsss has some neat ideas when it comes to fast-paced real-time tactical play, but its hard to shake the feeling the 'zombies' are an excuse to make up for underwhelming AI and controls.

Rocket Fox fails to come together thanks to its inconsistent feeling controls; a hard game to recommend at this time.

Ultimately Warm Gun is a basic deathmatch title, albeit a very pretty one. Sadly this doesn't save it from quirky performance issues and a lack of variety further limited by 4-player limited maps.

A potentially enjoyable and humerous puzzle-adventure game which is hampered by nasty touch controls and constant backtracking.

Octagon's tubular gameplay is a little too familiar to excite, and is undermined too often undermined by control issues.

Wow, an actually decent Superman game. While nothing to rave over, it's good to see the man of steel receive a fun interactive experience.

Blind World is a unique experience, though not an entirely satisfying one as players have to struggle through conflicting gameplay features.

One glaring problem, at least on 3GS devices is that the buttons of the game have a tendency to not register input. Restarting a level may not happen unless you hit the random sweet spot, and even accessing the game from the menu can be an exercise in frustration. This coupled with long load times does a lot to aggravate the player.

KooZac is a refreshingly challenging twist on the block-matching concept, but pay-to-win elements ruin its otherwise fun social elements.

Chicken Rescue is just kind of bland. It's not a bad idea but the execution leaves something to be desired.

Another entry into the physics flinger genre, Chuck the Muck is decent, but doesn't end up making that much of an impression.

While not entirely satisfying, Drag Tag Smash still manages to effectively push all the right buttons to make your brain dribble with glee as you destroy endless streams of electronic foes.

A lot more fun than you'd expect it to be, Tread of the Dead provides some zombie killing amusement, and at least in its approach to slaying the undead, stands out from the horde of other zombie releases.

A handsome adventure game with an enticing air of mystery let down by poor pacing and weak dialogue.

Fox Vs Duck is a relaxing, simple game that will elicit both joy and horror. The fate of the ducklings is in your hands.

Twinflix delivers a simple, but effective online variant of Tetris, but it looses a lot of appeal when the challenge is taken offline.

Zen Warrior has the beginnings of a fun fighting game for the iPhone but needs some more variety in the move-set and the characters to really shine.

There are a lot of issues with Steve Young Football!'s rather loose puzzle style and control system, but for some the challenge of completing each level's unique designs might prove worthwhile.

Has its charms, but the visuals border on going overboard (which is in itself fairly impressive considering the genre), making your continued survival a combination of luck and twitchy skills.

Though some may relish the challenge Crowman & Wolfboy offers, you'll likely find yourself yearning to dash though a brighter, more interesting world than this one.

A dystopian Mad Max-esque race for survival with zombies and dinosaurs. Short game time, a lot of upgrades, and average control weigh this release down.

Despite its pretty shell and perfectly reasonable entry cost, Asteroids GUNNER is more of a time-waster than an addictive coin-pumping game like the original. Take the time to try it out and maybe a purchase or two will give you what you want, just don't expect a game on par with the titles it seeks to emulate.

A little bit Pokemon, a little Final Fantasy, Dragon Island Blue has the makings of an engaging game, but its presentation and pace weigh it down.

Race After 1977 is a decent racer with a well presented visual theme, but ultimately players are left with a basic game devoid of depth or any real meaningful progression.

While in many aspects Gangstar Rio goes for broke and is bigger and better than its previous incarnations, making it the most comprehensive sandbox style game currently available for iOS, it fails to satisfy thanks to bugs, physics issues and a combat system the needs to be completely retooled.

An interesting take on the color matching puzzle formula with an almost Dr. Mario-like feel; a relaxed puzzle experience with no time limits and no hassles, just block connecting.

1968 is fun little concept, but the questionable controls and physics leave something to be desired.

Those that are more interested in a stream-lined RPG experience should look elsewhere.

Whether or not this game is worth your time and money is based on the concept and your love of Woody Woodpecker. Just as a final note, the theme song has been altered slightly and as a fan of the cartoons, it was a bit of a letdown as hearing the theme song at the menu screen was something to look forward to. At least Woody's trademark laugh stays intact.

Innovative, unique and chaotically amusing - Tweet Land embodies all of these things; sadly a combination of inconsistent collision detection and nightmare keyword combos can rip control out of your hands, making it hard to enjoy.

For a free game, Little Amazon is far too grind heavy, with the level design doing all it can to punish the player until they upgrade.

While fun, 300 Dwarves aims for the status-quo with its gameplay, seeking to tweak the already well populated genre.

If you can put up with the unresponsive controls, you will find a very well made Action RPG for your iphone.

It's worth grabbing Laser Dolphin for the name alone, especially when it lives up to the name by letting you pilot a dolphin with a fricken' laser on its head; (insert evil 'muahahahaha's in here).

Fans of Maple Story or of grind heavy RPGs will feel right at home with this well made adaptation.

Though The Occupant tries hard to generate a spooky atmosphere, the pointless tasks and directionless gameplay quickly turn your yelps to yawns.
