    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.

    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.

    Perhaps it's no major surprise that a twin-stick based re-imagining of Tomb Raider would work so well on iDevices, but Guardian of Light goes the extra distance with a challenging campaign and a fun co-op style for friends to enjoy.

    Gameloft have made an impressive sequel here. It plays well, there is great pacing, and the story while nothing revolutionary is emotional and intriguing. Another solid FPS to add to their impressive lineup.

    Inotia 3 jumps ahead of its predecessors in scope and style, but it still lacks any sense of depth or lasting originality; a decent RPG if you're after something new, but an easy one to miss as well.

    2360: Battle for Cydonia will provide you with an unrelenting challenge while making you and your mech look like a kung-fu master. Casual fans can still enjoy the app, but only in bite sized chunks.
