Without the aggressive freemium baggage, Gunner Z would simply be a decent-looking run-of-the-mill zombie shooter. As it is, it's another showcase for the dangers of placing greed over good game design. Avoid.

The Pantheon Cycle: Shrouded Aspect has a grand scope that simply bursts from the seams of its limiting gameplay and seemingly unimportant characters; enjoyable, but not satisfying.

Spazcon misses the mark in trying to mix up an out of control character with controls designed to nudge him in the right direction, making for a tiresome challenge that lacks variety.

Swinging through the city streets is entertaining, but The Amazing Spider-Man 2’s control and camera issues prevent it from becoming a marvel.

SEED 2 - Vortex of War doesn't try to be anything more exciting than a standard action-RPG and while it gets the basic formula right, it'd be good to see more of an effort to make it a genuine iDevice title.

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.

Buried underneath the layers of poor progression and an insistent focus on repetitive grinding lies a game that beats with the action-packed heart of the Justice League, however being Earth's Final Defense may not be an option when you're given boring combat that you'll likely need to repeat over and over.

Iron Man 3 is a Temple Run clone that has some nice visuals and unlockables, but is held down by its freemium mechanics and loose controls.

Fumes Stunt Racer breathes new life in to a classic game, however more than a splash of paint and tilt controls are needed to make it appealing to a broader audience.

Link the Slug is a perfectly passable puzzler, but lacks the spark to set it apart from the crowd.

Though Everyday Spelunker does bring Spelunky to your iPhone, the atrocious controls and never-ending deaths make you wonder why they bothered.

There are plenty of other serious racers available on the App Store, but Split/Second will feed your inner tweenager's destructive lust with its explosive action like no other racer.

While we'd love nothing more than to say Jet Set Radio is the game we know and love, it just isn't so; unrefined controls and framerate issues plague this initial release, making it hard to recommend.

Heavy Sword doesn't reinvent the platforming wheel, but takes a lot of ideas from good games in the genre to make an enjoyable experience.

Boss Battle's main selling point is its free price-tag and if you absolutely can't afford $0.99 then it'll give you a solid, if unpolished run for your money.

Novel control scheme with some striking presentation that cannot hide its unplayability.

A functional take on the tower offense genre, Demonrock: War of Ages suffers from dull, repetitive combat, and a general lack of creativity.

Warhammer 40K: Storm of Vengeance makes fair use of its licence to add some texture to what is a somewhat predictable and repetitive tower defence combat.

It's games like Where's My Water? 2 which give the free-to-play model a bad reputation. One of the most cynical games I have ever played.

The Other Brothers is a beautifully presented and highly unique platforming experience for the iOS platform, but without tighter controls the game goes from challenging to frustrating all too easily; thankfully it's also short, so you won't be entirely infuriated by the experience.

An interesting enough idea, but bad controls make the player want to say goodbye instead of hi to this octopi.

A fun little 3D platformer with bite-sized levels, but the controls annoy more than accommodate.

Daisy Mae's Alien Buffet is an over the top, fun entry into the twin stick shooter genre that should please both casual and hardcore players.

It's easy to be lost in the crowd of three-match titles already available and PAC-Match Party really needed something better to celebrate this ghost-munching pop-culture icon.

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 aimed at a younger audience, Cocoto Magic Circus should entertain fans of games like the Point Blank series.

Third Blade is more flamboyant than your average side-scrolling beat'em-up and the ability to wield three unique weapons adds a bit of variety if you can afford the skills and time to grind for them.

HighFlyer DeathDefyer dreams big and provides a toolbox for high-speed free-falling fun, but sadly its inconsistencies keep it from reaching for the stars.
