This is much better than the usual emulator crap that Sega throws at the iOS audience. It is still not at the top of iOS gaming due to touch controls that aren´t always as good as the competition. Lots of colours, good sense of speed and a fun albeit rather short game. Well worth a buy if it goes on sale.

A clutter of menus, a crazy amount of buttons, but a great mix of Tower Defense and RPG elements with tons of loot thrown in for added pleasure.

Neuroshima Hex mixes classic board gaming with Borderlands, and it works. This is an awesome board game conversion with excellent touch mechanics. But be prepared for a very steep learning curve in this Polish strategy title. The reward of learning the rules though is an absolute brilliant pass and play experience on iOS.

Rift is an incredible piece of gaming craftmanship and has singlehandedly put the notion that players need to settle for buggy launches to death.

Racing through the end of the world is a great idea, but Motorstorm: Apocalypse is held back by an unsatisfying driving experience, extremely low difficulty curve and a lack of variety. It ends up as a rather average arcade racer that runs out of gas too quickly.

EA is still miles ahead of everyone else when it comes to digital boxing, and Fight Night Champion only adds to their lead. There's still room for improvement, though, even if the new Rocky-inspired story mode is a wonderful addition.

Short but otherwise highly entertaining shooter game filled to the brim with unique aesthetics and enjoyable gameplay. The newly added multi player lacks depth, though. There are plenty of shooter games around these days, but Pixeljunk Shooter is one of the most entertaining on PSN right now.

A surprisingly decent movie tie-in well suited for younger players. Not very challenging, original or unique, but still fun and easily accessible. And actually a completely new story with the cool cowboy.

Dragon Age Origins was an enormous mouthful in a time where huge games are a rarity. Dragon Age II is somewhat shorter, but nevertheless a big game with an exceptionally well-framed story. Most of the new additions and updates are welcome, even if they don't put the game at the front of the pack. Easily recommended.

Old-school sidescrolling shooter that will certainly appeal to nostalgics, but is definately not for everyone. It's insanely difficult, but if you loved this type of game on the old 16 bit consoles, it's well worth a look.

The controls aren't as precise as we'd like, which can lead to frustrating moments, but it's hard not to smile as you play De Blop 2. It may not be king of the genre, but it's still a solid platform adventure with creative mechanics and excellent humor.

Beyond Good & Evil has been lauded ever since its first release, and is the defining example of a game that didn't get the commercial success it deserved. It's still a fantastic game, and at this price its one of the best digital purchases you can make.

Bulletstorm is every action fan's wet dream. It has excellent playability, grand visuals and many hours of entertainment. The story is a bit average, and the violence and gore may be a little too much at times, but the game makes up for it with great gameplay, and the skillshot system will keep us coming back to perfect our scores.

Celebrating the 30th anniversary of The Empire Strikes back, we get another Star Wars game. This time as a Tower Defense game for the iPhone and iPod touch. Fiddly controls and blurry graphics provides an experience not unlike Fieldsrunners. But that game came out two years ago and a lot has happened since. Not and awful game, but not a classic either.

According to Magicka, being a wizard is chaotic fun, as long as you're playing with others, and the game isn't crashing. The game infuses the tempo from fighting-games, with an extremely variable magic-system, where results depend on which of the nine elements you combine.

The controls are an odd mix between arcade and sim, meaning that all the cars are much more skiddish than you'd expect. Weak AI means that the car handling is the only real challenge when you play alone, and coupled with the tiresome voice acting, the single player experience is sub par. Online, the game becomes much more entertaining, but so far the serves have been plagued by stability issues. TDU is pretty fun online, but if you only want to play on your own, steer clear of this game.

Solid sidescrolling 2D arcade shooter, and unlike its predecessor, you can jump this time around! There's plenty of action, challenging bossfights, and while Bionic Commando: Rearmed 2 might not win any awards for being arcade game of the year, it's well worth the price.

The unique style and setting of Double Fine's matryoshka-based Stacking provides plenty of fun and challenging puzzles and tasks. It's polished, detailed and filled charm and inventivesness. There may not be a lot left to do after you've collected everything there is to collect, but if you enjoy clever puzzles and original designs, don't miss out on Stacking.

A cute and charming platformer that is much more forgiving than its Nintendo-comrade New Super Mario Bros. The unique setting provides plenty of surprises and new takes on classic platforming elements, especially in the first couple of hours, and the game is certainly fun. However, there's not a lot of challenge here, and not a lot of discovery or secrets to keep the longevity after you reach the finish line.

Just like previous entries in the series, Marvel vs Capcom 3 doesn't care too much about balance, which is to say that this might not be a game for dedicated Street Fighter fans. What it is, though, is a chaotic fighting where pyrotechnincs, special abilities and a wide selection of characters always fill up every inch of the screen. And it's highly entertaining all the way to the annoying end boss, who as it often is with fighting games is the absolute weakest part of an otherwise very solid and entertaining effort.

A decent online shooter that mainly reuses ideas you've already seen elsewhere. The controls are spot on, and the enviromental destruction is impressive. However, it suffers greatly from lag problems, and host migration isn't handled very gracefully. It's very cheap, though, and gets enough things right that it's worth checking out. But you can skip it if you already have a stack of Battlefields and Calls of Duty on your shelf.

First Strike brings four new multiplayer maps and one Zombie map, which is more or less the usual amount of bang for your buck when it comes to Call of Duty DLC. Three of the multiplayer maps are very good, better than most of the maps from the standard game, while the last one is only so-so. The price is a little steep, but if you're a die hard COD-fan you definately need this pack.

Only three of the four sports on offer are worth playing, and the single player experience is hampered by bad AI and an insultingly easy beginners league for every sport that has to be completed to advance to the more interesting stuff. With four players though, the game shines and can be barrels of fun.

There's a shortage of content and the character creation options are rather limited. On the other hand, the combat system is very well done, and the game takes great care in recreating the universe. If you have no interest in super heroes or DC Comics, you can probably skip it, but if you want to pound justice into some crooks and villains, it's definitely worth giving a shot. For while DC Universe Online may fall a bit short in some areas, it still offers plenty of entertainment.

It takes a little while to get going, but once it hits its stride, this clever Lemmings-inspired puzzle game will leave you glued to your dual screens. With 200 levels the longevity should be in place, and so we'll heartily recommend Mario vs. Donkey Kong to any puzzle loving DS owner.

For their next trick, Gameloft has decided to borrow heavily from Counter Strike. That means buying your weapons at the start of the round, and no respawns in most game types. Mechanically the gameplay is okay, but there are many technical issues, such as glitchy netcode, spotty matchmaking and long loading times. It's cheap though, and if Gameloft fix the technical issues, it could be a nice change of pace from the Battlefields and Calls of Duty.

A blistering fast and high flying off-road racer with no intentions of anything resembling realism. But while it can be fun for a quick romp, it lacks in both the variety and challenge departments. Too shallow to entertain for more than a few hours.

It could do with more variety, the sound can be rather grating and the presentation is bland. But at its core this is a fun RTS with some of the best controls the genre has had on consoles.
