    The premise of the game is not terrible, but there needed to be more intelligence and purpose in the application to elevate it above the mundanity of clubbing endless zombies to death. If only someone could make a really good Walking Dead game. Oh, wait...

    Square Enix has finally embraced the free-to-play model with Final Fantasy: All the Bravest, in what is almost a parody of the worst examples of free-to-play games.

    Perhaps as a tech demo and nothing more, Fighter Within would have raised a smile, but as a full-priced, next-generation it really isn't worth the time or money.

    If you're looking for Frogger, this is the best mobile version. Just turn down the grating music and don't expect much replay value from the bonus modes.

    With better controls, Fix-It Felix Jr. could actually be something really special on mobile devices. Even with its faults, Fix-It Felix Jr. is still a charming homage to classic 8-bit gaming.

    Clumsy Cat should seem instantly familiar to any cat owner. As the loving household pet, your goal is to go through the house and wreck as much of the house as possible before your owners return home.

    The transition to mobile hasn't been seamless, as the touch controls make it that much trickier, but it's just as elegant a way to tell a story through gameplay as it was three years ago.

    At times the challenge can become too much, and you're forced to repeat and fail over and over again so you can earn enough cash to buy the right upgrades. However, there is an undeniably addictive quality to spreading the infection, as you pick just the right spot to drop the virus and zombify entire populations in a matter of seconds.

    Overall the game is fairly easy, with odd spikes in difficulty every few levels as a boss creature is introduced. Bosses typically require you to go back and replay past levels for more experience to upgrade your cats, making the game more reliant on sheer numbers than actual strategy.

    Super Snack Time is a fun and addicting puzzle game, with a reliance on in-game currency that gets in the way more than it helps the experience.

    The amount of backtracking required is enough to hang up progress, making KnightScape feel more like a leisurely stroll than a gallant knight on a brisk run.

    What makes You Don't Know Jack really worthwhile though is how the game is constantly updated. Each week brings a new set of questions, meaning you'll never run into repeat quizzes and the pop culture questions are always up to date.

    While the iOS game features all four of the show's brilliant chasers to challenge players, there is something missing.

    It is really little more than a demo though, albeit a clever one.

    Oddland has a solid idea behind its take on mobile fist-person shooters, but control difficulties with reloading make the duels more frustrating than fun. Shaking the device is never a great control option, and even less so when under fire.

    It's an enjoyable fantasy strategy game, mechanically not unlike the Advance Wars series if you boil it down to basics.

    That aside, Retro/Grade is well-executed and worthy of your time, particularly if you're a fan of the rhythm genre. All of the components come together really smartly to deliver a game that's a joy to play, on both an audiovisual and gameplay level.

    The concept of Dollar Dash isn't a bad one, and there is a charm to its cute presentation. But for an action game, it's rather dull and unexceptional.

    Solid controls and addicting gameplay already make Sheep Happens hard to put down, while the raining sheep and clever visual gags add that extra touch to turn it into a game you will keep coming back to again and again.

    No Brakes Valet is fun novelty, but probably not a game that can be played for long stretches of time. In the world of mobile games it's priced a bit on the high end for that though, making it a game best recommended to only the most passionately irreverent players.

    Loot Hero is a short experience, with it possible to reach the dragon in under 10 minutes, but the difficulty increases each playthrough to encourage you to charge through it all again.

    Suits and Swords has a charming world but its reliance purely on Blackjack holds it back, amounting to a repetitive and often frustrating game.

    It's a perfectly serviceable infinite runner, but outside of the Battletoads nostalgia there isn't enough to distinguish Toad Rider from the plethora of infinite runners that are already available.

    Perhaps Line of Defense Tactics fares better on PCs where hotkeys can take the place of the needlessly frustrating iOS control scheme. But for the iOS version, Line of Defense Tactics is a blunt instrument when the situation called for finesse.

    Moshi Karts offers some fast and challenging levels, but it does less with questionable pacing compared to its peers like Agent Dash and Subway Surfers.

    Cloud Breaker projects an air of calm with its subdued color palette and soothing music, but a deviously quick and addictive puzzle game hides beneath the surface.

    To its credit, 999: The Novel does add a handy new feature where you can see a flowchart of which story paths you've played and return to any crossroads to make different choices. 999: The Novel has multiple endings, most of which are dead ends, making the chart an invaluable feature for those who seek out the game's true ending.

    Word Explorer is like a five-course feast solely consisting of tapioca pudding. Even if you really like tapioca pudding, you'll be hankering for a new flavor before the first course is even finished.

    The game's drawn-out progression could be attributed to it being a free-to-play game, as a way of encouraging player to dip into their wallets and speed up the process. But Mobfish Hunter's monotony lacks the unique hook necessary to catch players for the long haul.
