    MapleStory Thief Edition is a great game for those who just can't get enough of their platforming, beat'em-up action, but try the free version before diving in to this paid one.

    Ark of Sinners Advance feels far too loose to pull off its action-platforming, which is a shame because the world you travel in is a delight to explore.

    It's a freemium coin toss game where you're battling enemy soldiers. It's certainly fun enough, till your coins run out.

    Visually noisy and mechanically unreliable, Thor: The Dark World is a confused free-to-play hack-'em-up which reduces its lead character to a club-footed spectator.

    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.

    Although THOR: Son of Asgard makes good on exploring more of the comic universe, it fails to excite as an action-brawler game.

    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.

    A cynical imitation of an already dull game, we would rather download Windows updates than play Family Guy: The Quest for Stuff.
    • 47 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    rComplex suffers greatly for its focus on style over substance, choosing to provide players with a beautiful game, complete with an intriguing story, only to make it inaccessible thanks to poor design choices when it comes to the basic endless-runner gameplay.
    • 46 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Sets a low standard for adapting titles to handheld devices and while the gimmick feature of killing zombies with various weapons has remained, it only acts as a reminder of the real gameplay that's missing from this release.

    If you're after a quick and easy to play online Tennis title, Ace Tennis 2010 Online delivers, but overall it's still a fairly standard Tennis experience.
    • 43 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    MotoGP 2010 would be a hard game to justify at $0.99 and at its current price it's almost insulting to experience - just avoid it.

    While committed adventure game fans might be able to excuse some of Return to Castlerama's many faults, most gamers will not be satisfied by wandering around picking up scrolls.

    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.
    • 43 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Soulcalibur Unbreakable Soul’s dull battle system and restrictive energy system spoils its reasonable CCG foundations, and does the franchise a disservice.

    Not every game is going to survive the test of time and while the visuals of Virtua Fighter 2 for the Genesis have certainly not remained timeless, the gameplay is fun and simple enough to work on touch devices.

    Rollercoaster Tycoon 4 Mobile mighthave been a reasonable free-to-play title, as a premium game, its greed is too much to stomach.

    Despite having a long, rich history supporting the Action-RPG, The Relic strikes out on its own and manages to get lost in the wilderness in the process; hold off on this one till updates address its core gameplay.

    Can you believe this is "Episode 1" in a potential series of games? With any luck if future games in the Pillowfight Girls series are released they'll take more care to make things genuinely sexy instead of tweenager's fever fantasy.
    • 25 Metascore

    Seconds of gameplay, with potentially hours of waiting - this is freemium brought to its horrifying and expensive end point, squandering any potential All The Bravest has.
    • 24 Metascore

    With its sub-par graphics and gameplay, fans of Kick-A*s or even action games in general should probably steer clear of this title at least until its numerous issues are given an overhaul.

    Claire Garden mixes elements from popular platforming titles in to a jumble that works surprisingly well after a recent update; more fixes are required, but it gets the point across despite these flaws.

    With bite-sized levels, a charming style and familiar gameplay given a slight twist, BeamOut is a fun time-waster for casual and serious gamers to tackle.

    Dark Lords has a few balance issues to work out to smooth the progression of newer players (including optimizing its guides); a challenging experience with potential.

    Without the needlessly disgusting theme, Farts VS Zombies could have concentrated on its unique gameplay instead of being caught up in the need to refer to everything it possibly can.

    • 80 Critic Score
    BloodRunner is no cakewalk of a platformer and you'll need your wits about you and a bit of gutsy luck to dive through the game's hairier challenges, but the controls still need a bit of tweaking to make this a truly absorbing title.

    Help these angry, manly Vikings to find their way to Valhalla in Vikings Row! because if you don't they'll probably learn how to dock their ship and pillage your home.

    Doodle Invasion is a hard game to enjoy unless you manage to click with the game's somewhat loose control scheme, but if you can get past that there's a few smiles to be had watching stick figures as they get slimed.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The original Tiki Totems did amazing things with nothing more than basic blocks; the addition of new block varieties, shapes and additional physics elements only gives Tiki Totems 2 more depth that's explored over 208 levels and three fun modes.

    If you're after a new take on a now 'classic' genre for the iPhone, Tiki Smasher might just impress you with its simple pinball inspired castle defense gameplay.

    Like most free titles, Bullistic is worth it for the couple of minutes of enjoyment it gives, but without more substance added to the mix it'll quickly be forgotten.

    Tapic shows that there's room for rhythm games to generate their own content intelligently, but without more of the trappings of the genre it's a fairly bland example.
    • tbd Metascore

    Neo Defender 2 is an interesting take on the arcade shooter, but its 'Retro-Arcade' style is more antiquated than nostalgic and killing shapes can only remain interesting for so long.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Hero Project replaces tedious, repetitive chores like sowing seeds with punching villains and henchmen and while the customization may be a bit thin at this time, it's still more exciting than watching plants grow.

    Pocket HalfPipe is the perfect travel companion, providing short bursts of skill-based gameplay that's satisfying whether you get that high-score run or a face-planting failure.

    Bouncer Boot Out earns a lot of street-cred by including the Mana Bar in its game, but once you reach this venue the game is all but ended unless you're a very self-competitive individual.

    Extrememe Sheepdog Trials is yet another excellent arcade shepherding-based game that is great for kids and casual gamers alike, but without major improvements it's worth sticking to the iPhone version.

    A Bloody Fun Day! isn't the best adaption of the free Flash title of the same name, however it still retains much of its charm despite some rather irritating interface issues.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 20 Critic Score
    Bloody Hell !! is an example of just how far gaming can sink when looking for thrills; that isn't to say you shouldn't be allowed to enjoy this, but it's excessively raw and hard to understand who this is truly for.

    Pocket Pandemic is about as sterile as it comes for gameplay, with generic maps, poor controls and no convincing reason to stick with the plague theme other than to be childishly gross.
    • tbd Metascore

    Liberty Wings is a game that attempts to feed the insatiable need for more 'value', but in providing a diverse amount of variety it fails to polish any one of them sufficiently.
    • tbd Metascore

    Modern Conflict is a clever and extremely addictive action title that will require sharp observation and quick-witted tactics to survive; however it's not hard to blame some who feel it's quite literally been done before.

    You'll either love or hate Thief Lupin!'s style of fast-paced micro-platforming, but at no cost to try it out it's worth seeing what side you fall on.

    Those who missed or skipped out on Love Battle Princess should take the time to check out Subsolar; it may not hold as much value for returning fans, but the gameplay remains just as strong with its unique arcade style.

    Stylish Dash provides fans of endless runners with a gorgeous looking and smooth controlling plaformer with plenty of content to unlock, but it feels more like a collection of gimmicks than a cohesive and addictive title.

    The biggest shortcoming of Bubble Pets is the audience it seems to be aimed towards - while those with short attention spans will love the flashy over the top style, it also means they're unlikely to remain interested for very long either.

    Doesn't go so far as to break the mold for platformers, but outside of its translation problems the gameplay remains frantic and challenging enough to enjoy right to the end. A great grab for those after something lighthearted.

    Has its sights set on being a solid fast-paced futuristic racer, but keeping players in the dark about how things work results in more frustration than fun; a potentially decent racer reduced to repetitive blandness.

    Another junk-food title that's addictive to play while you still have new content, but it's unlikely to remain satisfying for long after you're done.
