    If you're a fan of rail shooters, and the initial investment doesn't put you off, House of the Dead Overkill: The Lost Reels is a fantastic addition to the genre that will keep you busy for quite some time.

    Much like Little Big Planet, buying in to Sketch Nation Shooter will provide you with more content than you could ever need, but clever artwork and ideas can't always mask simple, repetitive gameplay.

    Mikado Defenders is a solid tower-defense game with a challenging twist for fans of genre and might just sway those who are yet to fall in love with the action packed strategy of TD titles.

    If you know about and have had the pleasure of enjoying the MST3K version of 'Manos: The Hands of Fate' then by all means, make this a purchase - it's frustrating, confusing and dated in its appeal... the perfect companion to a pop-culture classic.

    What could be an intense side scrolling shooter with an interesting lock on missile system is bogged down in tedium and mediocrity.

    Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 feels rushed and otherwise falls short of Capcom's prior fighter releases on the App Store; a shame considering the wild popularity of this title.

    MMA by EA Sports manages to capture mixed martial arts in a way that feels great for iDevices, but its limited repertoire could hurt its long-term appeal.

    While 1000: Find 'Em All is aimed more towards a younger audience, there's still a lot to do and sometimes it's great to get lost in a game that's simple and rewarding.

    Sly Fox attempts to break out of the stiff mold that has shaped similar 'physics' puzzlers on the App Store, but a combination of conflicts between the controls and the level designs make it inconsistent in delivering an entertaining challenge.

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

    Stargate SG-1: Unleashed Episode 1 suffers from a handful of technical flaws, but is otherwise a treat for fans of the TV series and of light adventure games in general thanks its action-based hooks and intriguing time-travel storyline.

    A modern upgrade of the Amiga games while keeping the general gameplay intact. It will most likely appeal to those who fondly remember the original releases.

    Drop That Candy is a passable colour-matching puzzler, but nothing more. A little light on content, too.

    Spires falls flat despite some decent ideas and a polished presentation, but keep an eye out for updates that may make this a worthwhile grab.

    It's easy to see why the intensely engaging Dungeon Hearts attracted the attention of a studio like Devolver Digital, but with crashes eating up progress it's hard to fall in love with the excellent title on offer.

    The Infinite Warrior may live forever, making his task one of time and not strategy, but the game lacks a sense of connection to what's happening, making it a dull and repetitive chore to play.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A fun concept that plunges players in to a crazy, non-stop bounce-fest that can change at any moment, but later levels can quickly spin out of control and being told you failed without being told why is simply frustrating, not motivating.

    A unique concept and clever visual designs aren't enough to stretch Jake Escape HD's gameplay beyond its limited borders, making a fun, but short title lacking depth.

    A very bright and bubbly jelly themed physics puzzler.

    Fury of the Gods may be heavy on the wrath, but it quickly settles in to a seething rage, followed by a feeling of empty anger as you crush, zap, and summon over and over without a need to adapt to the challenge presented to you.

    Dungeon Hunter 4 is the game Dungeon Hunter 3 should have been, but as a result this Action RPG feels like a lumbering, outdated behemoth even despite its gorgeous exterior and unique feeling character classes.

    Tiki Towers 2 isn't just more of the same if you loved the original, though it's hard to forgive some of the control quirks and random elements that make this more frustrating than intended.

    Fixes all but the basic problem of aiming from the first title, making this a great action-shooter experience for iDevice gamers to enjoy.

    Zaxxon Escape may be a logical continuation of the classic Arcade title, but aside from its shiny spaceship based theme it brings little to the table you can't already get in free Temple Run style games.

    Where games like Let's Golf 2 revel in the basic fun of golf, Real Golf 2011 steps things up by adding a dash more realism in to the mix along with a few professional stars to round things out.

    Dark Avenger is to ARPGs what Zenonia is to KRPGs. An average effort hampered by design choices centred around grinding and in-app purchases.

    Smurfs' Village hasn't quite launched with its best foot forward, but for those who have fond memories of the Smurfs and can't get enough management titles, there's no reason not to grab this game.

    Max Damage is a simple physics-based puzzler/shooter that focuses on general destruction; it's nothing we haven't seen before, but the chain-reaction levels can be a literal blast.

    Prince of Persia: The Shadow and the Flame's handsome visuals and exploration-friendly levels can't quite make up for the game's control issues and bland fighting sections.

    For the entry fee, fans of Linkin Park get an interactive experience with the chance to mingle with fans while unlocking an exclusive single to listen to though most gamers will have little reason to hang around once the story is over.
