Dungeon Gems is readily compared to other collectible card and matching games which means it isn’t a ground-breaking game. E

Overall, 80 Days is a wonderful game.

Clay Jam is an extremely satisfying experience shaped from mounds of sheer joy. Its graphics, creatures, music-and even the "tactile" response of gouging the clay world-are all constantly rewarding and hard to put down. For as often as I shouted in frustration at a quest, I laughed out loud ten times as much.

There's a lot of depth to Vampire Season; more than you'd expect from a game that wheels and deals so heavily in comedy.

Greedy Dwarf is a compelling amalgam of quality game mechanics that doesn’t take the lazy endless runner route and doesn’t waste the player’s time with chaff. Drag it out into the harsh light of day that Tiny Wings occupies and you’ll find that it looks like, well... a dwarf, but you’ll be content to stay underground with this one for a while.

Can’t Drive This lacks a little finesse at times, and is perhaps a touch overpriced. But the way it manages to build a fully featured game around what could be a throwaway idea is undeniably impressive. Just don’t bother if you’re going to play it alone.

Taken on its own merits, Reign of Dragons is an excellent iOS CCG that's sure to provide hours upon hours of enjoyment and habit-forming card gathering. The problem is that it's extremely difficult for anyone who's dabbled in Mobage's cash cow not to start a mental comparison.

Mall Stars doesn't grant you a remarkably original gameplay experience. It's safe, and more than anything: it's easy to pick up and play, the graphics are colorful, and the big-headed character designs don't stray too far from the social/mobile gaming standard. That said, Mall Stars is pretty difficult to stop playing, even if you've spent a considerable chunk of your life as a retail slave. That's saying something.

Cally’s Caves 3 features some very nice-looking sprites and background images, and its soundtrack fills your ears with gritty techno. Its controls are highly responsive, though the nature of touch-screen d-pads means you’ll inevitably miss a jump from time to time.

If you can find a relatively quiet spot in which to play FNAF 4, you’ll find the game is otherwise well put-together.

Jurassic Park Builder's core gameplay certainly doesn't break new ground, but it builds a solid experience with its old materials. Even if you master dinosaur wrangling, however, don't get too confident: life finds a way (to eat you alive).

Kid Tripp is a fine game, but it is probably not going to be for everyone, as its aim seems to be intensely focused on a certain type of audience. But if you're up for a challenge, then you should waste no time in downloading this one.

A little ways in the game finally begins to reveal itself to the player through some pretty inventive and fun worlds filled with interesting puzzles to solve. It takes a little time to warm up, but once it does, Incoboto is well worth the trip.

Getting back to what the series did right in the first two games was definitely the right move. Despite the multiplayer missteps, Dungeon Hunter 4 is a fun way to let off some steam by slashing or blasting your way through a horde of enemies. And as we all know, it’s not like the fantasy worlds out there are going to be running out of dungeons any time soon.

King’s made some good moves removing the frustrating points objectives, streamlining the interface, and maintaining the more entertaining aspects of the game. And although they haven’t exactly broken new ground with it, King’s Bubble Witch Saga 2 is still a nice casual diversion that looks pretty and plays well.

The mood of Dark Dimensions: Homecoming is slightly on the spooky side, but this is a game that doesn’t take its story genre too seriously. Expect a healthy amount of mystery and intrigue as you dig through the mansion’s otherworldly mysteries, and expect a solid grounding in character motivations and puzzle solutions, too. Homecoming is a well-balanced and entertaining game that hits all the right marks.

If you're in the mood for a decent zoo sim, Wonder Zoo will do the job. It's not a barrel full of monkeys, exactly, but neither is it a barrel full of scorpions.

Warlords RTS makes some compromises to accommodate the restrictions of its interface and display but for the most part they work well, and despite my misgivings about the large number of relatively expensive in-app purchases, I came away impressed.

I’m a big fan of pixelated titles and management/simulation games, so I knew Discounty was for me, and it didn’t disappoint.

The entire Redemption Cemetery: Salvation of the Lost experience is understated and intriguing. The puzzles are well thought out and provide just the right amount of challenge. Mini-games and hidden object scenes are used sparsely so you always appreciate their arrival, and the game’s unique raven-element system is a nice touch. Redemption Cemetery also manages to avoid most of the cliches common in casual adventure games, freeing you up to enjoy some crazy items and even crazier puzzle solutions.

Those looking for a fierce puzzle fix with relentless high score chasing should look elsewhere; this is not a twitchy manic experience. Players who enjoy a mellow, contemplative process of puzzle solving, with room for ongoing improvement should certainly consider Campfire Cooking.

Taking a game from Wii to iOS probably wouldn't work for a lot of titles, but Rage of the Gladiator manages to do it with style. It turns out the motion controls weren't essential to the experience, and anyone who enjoys boxing, gladiator or mobile action games in general are probably going to find something they like here.

Haypi Monster doesn't quite hold a candle to Nintendo's multi-sequel juggernaut but it's probably the closest thing we iOS users will have to satiate ourselves for a while. Personally, I'd consider that a good thing.

Dragon Mania Legends is a good distraction for anyone that wants their very own pet dragon, which is obviously everyone in the entire universe.

If you're into extreme sports, or extreme versions of extreme sports (it almost seems to B.A.S.E. jumping what Mirror's Edge is to parkour), then you should have plenty of fun playing this game. It's fun, plays well, and has quite a few (read: 47) levels to play through as you try to get the best score you can, and then beat that.

Traffic Panic London knows exactly what kind of title it is, and it isn't ashamed of it. Extremely simple in its design, the game doesn't even bother with a tutorial--perhaps because there's almost nothing to explain. It is the definition of a simple but fun game.

Finger Tied isn't the first "it's kinda like Twister but with your fingers" experience we've seen on the iPad, but it's the best I've played.

So even though the game might be a little too easy at times with a score system that greatly favors your melee attacks over your weapon-based ones, Bloodstroke is still a bloody and beautiful good time.
