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.

Now that the line drawing sneaker is an established genre, we'll be seeing a slew of titles in it, but as long as they're as polished and enjoyable as games like Critter Escape, that will be no problem at all.

A simple arcade throwback that is quite punishing, though exudes a certain charm all the same.

Random Heroes keeps things simple, returning to the old-skool format of placing one level after another with no real reward for progression; it's a trip down memory lane, but a brief and uneventful one at that.

Gamebook fans will probably enjoy playing Judge, Jury, and Executioner in this tale set in the popular dystopic comic property, but it carries many of the failings of the genre and casual players will probably either find the game too slow paced or the content too violent.

If you enjoyed the previous Flick game, this is the same offering but with Olympics sports instead of more well known fare. Many of the same game and control issues plague this title as well.

Chimpact has a clever title and some really nice visuals, but they unfortunately cannot hide the average gameplay here.

This isn't Pitfall as you may know it - in fact it's another Temple Run style title, but one that feels at home with Harry's perilous trip down the side of a mountain.

A fun little platformer using a different take on appealing to nostalgia, but suffers from performance issues.

A fusion of Audiosurf and Boost, Synesthetic takes you on a trippy ride through your own music while basing its game around the simplicity of tilting.

While 10000000's concept is far from unique, its smooth integration of RPG mechanics makes for an addictive arcade-puzzler.

The Dark Knight Rises follows in the wake of a film that is already being regarded the best in the series, meaning it was always a tough act to follow; it's a shame more time wasn't spent on polishing out the game's many quirks, but it remains a solid action title thanks to its focus on story-missions and finely crafted encounters.

A game where you have to remove planks to lead a precariously placed fishbowl safely to the ground below. Fun for a diversion, but there are better games in this genre.

A dance based rhythm game that needs more polish on its game mechanics, progression, and sound balancing before it can really shine.

The been-there-done-that feeling of Amazing Alex is understandable for iPad owners who already have Casey's Contraptions, but for new-comers (including iPhone users) it's another cute, but still addictive physics puzzler to add to your collection.

One glaring problem, at least on 3GS devices is that the buttons of the game have a tendency to not register input.

Chasing Yello makes for a decent distraction, however it's hard to get any momentum, making that much easier to put down when the next auto-runner comes along.

Aside from some quirky animations and a tendency for the camera to feel like it's sliding around too much, The End is exactly what fans of the original Temple Run deserve when it comes to a competitor in the scene. For some the original will always remain the best, but if you want something different or you enjoy something with a bit more bite, this is the game for you.

A throwback to 80s action movies and arcade gaming when the test of a man was how high a score you could achieve by punching things. Simple arcade fun.

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

Mad Acorn is the first in APD's series of TapTap Comix and a great start as it marries modern art forms in to a fun, interactive package that's perfect for rhythm game enthusiasts.

Babel Rising 3D is a strong step forward for the series, but where the first was lacking in depth, the sequel stumbles on the all-important controls.

Catapult King may not be the king of catapult games, but once you start to delve in to its harder challenges you'll be glad the controls provide you with the finesse needed to complete them.

A twin stick shooter in a maze of corridors with monster creating turrets, and plenty of upgrades. It doesn't really set itself apart from the pack, but it is a solid play.

Zombie Ace doesn't step too far out of the common tropes of 'endless' gameplay on the iOS, but the addition of an 'infect the city' option makes for a fun and rewarding long-term goal.

The frustration generated by Bridge Constructor is equal parts poor interface design and clever puzzle design; the two may fight against each other, but if you like your puzzles keeping within spitting distance of 'reality', this will satisfy.
