It might be pretty, and it might be free, but if you’re on a lower-end device your time will be much better spent with the Breakneck’s inspiration rather than Breakneck.

Sonic Dash 2: Sonic Boom is a fun endless running game that’s tightly-bound. It proves, once again, that Sonic is at his best when he’s just allowed to run free with the wind in his quills.

I don’t hate Aralon: Forge and Flame. I don’t even dislike it, really. But it has a lot of little problems that add up to something I’m not all that interested in playing again. I’d much rather get my RPG fix from something more polished, even if that means it takes place in a smaller world.

The company is probably tired of tinkering with what should be a surefire winner, but my personal hope is that EA keeps at it with FIFA, because it hasn’t found the right mobile formula for it yet, and its Maddenization is a step in the wrong direction.

The game does the hard work of hooking you in, but is insistent on pushing you away straight after unless you cough up cash, which feels both insulting and desperate.

Zombie Highway is the superior game and Mutant Roadkill is a rip off with just enough tweaks to the gameplay to keep it from being blatant. And these tweaks to the gameplay result in a game that's significantly less fun to play than its inspiration.

As you can imagine, Castaway Paradise never comes close to threatening Animal Crossing’s crown, but it does a passable impression as long as you’re not expecting too much. Plus, it’s a lot cheaper than the real thing, making it a tempting prospect as long as you remember that you get what you pay for.

Even with a large amount of content that keeps downloading after the initial install, though, there's something about Battlestone that leaves you feeling just a tad unfulfilled. Just like the four-door model usually ends up the smarter choice over the two-seater, there are games out there that don't look as sexy but will probably hook you in more completely in the end.

Six-Guns manages to snatch mediocrity out of the jaws of greatness. It's by no means a terrible title, but it is remarkably shallow, unpolished, and repetitive. That's heartbreaking, honestly, because no one should ever have to use that last sentence when describing a game about cowboys fighting vampires.

Michael Jackson: The Experience is a game that manages to get most everything right. The gameplay is uniquely suited to the touch screen, the visuals are top notch, and the spirit of the game captures the fun of Jackson's music videos flawlessly. It's a shame, then, that there's so little of it to go around – and that you're only getting about half the package with your initial purchase.

When you aim to go toe-to-toe with Angry Birds Space, your presentation needs to be flawless, and Gnu Revenge's awkward design and difficulty keep it far from that. It's definitely not a terrible app, but it's simply been done before, and done better.

After Burner Climax is not a bad game in itself, but the iOS port is severely lacking, and a blemish on the series' name.

In order to be great, racing games need to be fast-paced, have solid controls, and be fun. RPM: Gymkhana hits none of these marks. It's clunky and frustrating and -worst of all- not all that enjoyable to play.

I wouldn't say Companions was a bad game – it's just a really frustrating one.

Alien vs. Predator: Evolution’s heart is in the right place.

D&D fans deserve better.

Bright Memory: Infinite Gold Edition may have a fair few flaws, but worth investigating if you’re looking for a new first person shooter on the Switch.

Gothic Classic has an avid fanbase, and for good reason. The game is intricately detailed, with deep lore, and meaningful world-building. But sadly the awful controls are too much to cope with, and they do ruin the game to some extent. Perhaps it works better on a keyboard and mouse – but this is a game on the Nintendo Switch, and on this format it doesn’t quite work.

If all of this makes Ultima Forever sound like a mixed bag, that’s because it is. While the Mythic team deserves a pat on the back for the effort it made to restore the Ultima brand to relevancy, the end result is something that still leaves you wanting, at least a little bit.

Heroes of Dragon Age is a decent collectable card game, though its poor stamina system and passive battles make it difficult to recommend to hardcore Dragon Age fans who enjoy the series for its action and exploration.

Mario Kart Tour isn’t perfect, but it is Nintendo’s best offering on mobile yet, and one that manages to completely avoid pay to win in the freemium space. That’s pretty commendable stuff.

There’s a lot worse stuff on the App Store than this, and even though it’s not really pushing endless runners forward or anything, it’s not a bad way to kill some idle time – and maybe the only way to pit athletes versus aliens, for what it’s worth.

A bit polarizing to say the least, the game starts off incredibly strong, with a delightfully spooky atmosphere and slick gameplay mechanics that just make it feel so good every time you pick off an enemy down the scope of your rifle. But once that first mission ends and the apocalyptic paywalls begin to set in, you’re going to start covering your eyes and hiding from this game for entirely different reasons.

Those with greater patience might find it rewarding towards the end, but the blood-thirsty like me will find it disappointing that Barry won't splatter when dropped from great heights.

Perhaps my expectations for Yet Another Zombie Defense were off-base. I was looking forward to a sharp mix of light tower defense strategy and arcade action, but what I got was a competent but unremarkable dual-stick shooter with sentry turrets and blocks- reasonably fun, but quickly forgettable.

It's a good game that hasn't quite crossed the line to great, and you'll want to be sure you're familiar with its quirks before you drop money in it.

Carrying the Sons of Anarchy brand built my expectations up pretty high. I expected some hard-hitting action and some memorable characters. The Prospect delivers very little of both.

Ultimately Zombies Ate My Neighbors is a good game that’s sadly been poorly treated with this port. There’s not enough that’s been added in here to make it worthwhile for those who have fond memories of playing it back in 1993, and the rough edges will likely put off most newcomers.
