BIG BAD Flower stops short of letting itself bloom as a fun arcade-action title and manages to get bogged down by prickly repetitive mechanics.

Gives you the best tools to put your car out of control while still getting first place.

Uber Racer 3D - Sandstorm isn't as fully featured as some larger titles, but for those after a solid racer that provides a great challenge and well designed courses without the 'realism', this is for you.

6th Planet merges a great storyline with simple gameplay to create a relaxing and enjoyable gaming experience.

GEON is an interesting mix of gameplay elements that doesn't quite fuse perfectly, but for a quick game on the go it proves to be a challenging experience.

Brings back an interesting and competitive style of espionage and counter-espionage tactics that's best played with friends instead of the game's AI.

If you don't mind the banner at the top of the screen, NinJump is a decent vertical climber with a few interesting twists and when it's for free it's hard to really complain.

A great, basic shoot'em-up that will appeal to classic arcade fans after a bite of nostalgia, but it won't get much of a spin after it's all over.

If you're after a game that tries to mix fast-paced action with some strategy elements then 2012 Zombies vs Aliens is a trench warfare game that might just push you over the edge; for good or for bad.

Another junk-food title that's addictive to play while you still have new content, but it's unlikely to remain satisfying for long after you're done. This isn't such a bad thing at all as you certainly have fun while playing it, but if you're after more than a brief distraction this might not be for you.

A different approach to the Sim-Management style of gameplay that made Game Dev Story so popular, but it's no less addictive and players should prepare themselves for some social black-outs.

Manages to show a lot of complexity in its gameplay thanks to the inclusion of multi-touch controls and you might just have some fun while herding cows as well.

Joe's life in The Flood: Salvation depends on your ability to solve complex puzzles; that may be bad news for Joe, but at least you'll have fun trying.

Provides a solid grounding for what could be an insanely addictive tactical turn-based title, but bugs and the lack of story missions are holding it back for now.

Had a chance to feature a true pocket-sized version of its console releases, but the iOS release lacks a lot of depth and fighting can feel more like a random brawl than a calculated fist-fight.

The Saboteur is another decent port of a larger franchise to the App Store and only suffers minor gameplay issues that keep it from being truly great.

It can take some adjustment to get used to controlling the environment and not the main character, but this part-platform puzzler, part-rhythm game is a unique experience that'll keep you glued to your iPhone.

ROCK BAND Reloaded is a solid rhythm game title with the usual variety of instruments, but while singing is a great addition it doesn't make up for the rest of the game's encore performance.

A simple, yet fun Rampage clone that's guaranteed to brighten your day.

For those that remember Rise of the Triad, this could be worth a purchase. For everyone else, the presentation, controls, and gameplay might be a turn-off.

Riddim Ribbon is an interesting idea, but not fully realised. The controls need some tweaking or a sensitivity option, and the track list is quite small and unvaried. With the pedegree Tapulous has, hopefully this game will reach its full potential in future updates.

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.

With the lack of decent 3D platformers on the iphone, it's good to see Rayman being ported over. If only the controls were better.

Revivals of great classic titles deserve nothing less than a polished update and Speedball 2 Evolution delivers almost perfectly - just remember to take some time out to get comfortable with controls first.

Food Processing jumps on the food-slicing bandwagon, though in this case it's more of a conveyor-belt an its unique take on the gameplay will quickly have you finger-tied.

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.

No-one is asking for yet another Doodle Jump, but poor concepts like floaty jumping and a lack of variety were prototyped out a long time ago; Wharr: The Colossus Age seemingly ignores these points and as a result it feels dated and out of touch.

If you want a racer that's just about speed and destruction, Raging Thunder 2 has you covered.
