    Final Flight of the Perseus’s wants to be as addictive as Galaga, but its repetitive enemies and ho-hum combat struggle to hold your attention past a few credits.

    If you own Farm Frenzy then this might not feature enough changes to bother upgrading, but for those who don't own the game yet this is an excellent opportunity to enjoy a challenging management title.

    Hooga suffers for its control issues, turning an otherwise interesting platformer in to something far less exciting.

    Despite the popularity of the series, Letris 3's blend of Scrabble and Tetris is hampered by intrusive freemium design.

    Kingpin Lanes provides a gripping concept that will (initially) keep you coming back for more, but despite the wealth of wonderful ideas the novelty soon wears off and you'll struggle for a reason to keep playing.

    Xtreme Wheels takes a formula that has already proven itself in the past and does little more than repackage it, albeit in a shiny 3D engine; if you enjoy games like Trials HD there's little reason to complain, but it'd be nice to see more innovation.

    It's Burn the Rope, only in 3D. That's pretty much the long and short of it. If you take to the finger-controlled camera, you'll probably find some fun here.

    Game of Thrones Ascent is a nice accompaniment to the show, but even fans may be soured by its reliance on timers and IAPs.

    Just in time for Halloween, Ghost Chicken will give you an original gaming experience that while fun, can wear thin quick.

    • 60 Critic Score
    We've seen Lumber Jacked and its platforming challenges before, but while it's polished in many respects, some of its bugs and gameplay features threaten to remove the satisfaction of acing its many three-star stages.

    ARDefender is an App Store hit waiting to happen, but other than the joy of playing around with the AR features there's little else to enjoy about the vanilla tower defense gameplay.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    With its character designs, sound effects, and especially its music, Turtle Slide can't help but put a smile on your face, even if this is a game we've seen a thousand times before.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Instead of an endless runner, we have an endless coaster, and coasting along is exactly what you'll be doing, cause despite some neat ideas, this game offers little challenge.

    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.

    Grimm is a beautiful simplistic platformer with some interesting gameplay ideas, however it fails to impress with its mundane pacing that's only occasionally punctuated by fun mini-levels.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Doesn't address many of the main concerns of Freemium titles, but even without spending money there's a lot to do and enjoy in this cute Action-RPG.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Warheads is a gritty and visually stimulating take on Missile Command for the App Store, but with so few changes to the gameplay it'll appeal more to nostalgia fans than the newer casual game crowd.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Ace Patrol tries to apply the Civilization V template to WW1 air combat. Unfortunately, it a little too disjointed to fully engage.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Real Soccer 2011 doesn't add much more than graphical advancements to its football franchise and while that may be enough for some it's a hard sell to those who already own earlier World Cup games from this year.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    NFL Flick Kicker is yet another polished release from Full Fat, but it would have been great to see the developer push the limits a little further.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Demons' Soul is a pricey way to enjoy the music of some of Square Enix' top composers, but if you can stand the forced repetition you'll get to enjoy a competent rhythm-game and the rather amusing storyline attached to it.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Most likely meant for a younger audience, the cuteness of Clay and his world will appeal to that demographic, but other players will likely find this too bland to be of much fun.

    Blast Off is fun while it lasts, but you'll quickly move on to other galaxies once you're done.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Makes the most of its simple Mastermind-like gameplay, providing a word-puzzle challenge that's open to most ages.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    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.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    PES 2010 is almost like a tech-demo for what could be achieved for football gaming on the iPhone, but until the same level of attention to detail is placed on basic features it's a hard game to recommend even to die-hard fans.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    He-Man falls short not only of other brawlers, but of the series itself as it chooses to stick to a limited system of combat that's propped up by decent level design.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Dungeon Hunter 3 takes a series that has some depth and skims from the top, providing players with a thin sheen of a game (albeit one with many levels to unlock); a boon to budget gamers willing to pay their way through grinding.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Consider Bug Chucker as the next step on your journey to mastering physics based puzzles once the ordinary 'catapult' variety looses its challenge.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Combines the skill and timing of Labyrinth with modern gravity-based platforming tropes to create something entirely unique, even if it doesn't always manage to mesh with the available control scheme.
