    Like all free-to-play games in this general genre, there are oodles of in-app purchases on offer that can help you progress faster and give you something to brag about to other players through the game’s world chat option (which feels more than a little outdated in 2017). Some of the purchases come with a hefty price tag so you’ll probably want to avoid browsing the store while exhausted. At least with this one you probably won’t have to worry about the little folks in your life racking up big bills – Gangstar New Orleans is very much for adults only.

    It lacks the substance and staying power of other mobile games in the series like Assassin’s Creed Pirates, but it’s an experiment that works well and does better than one might expect.

    Thor: Sons of Asgard isn't engaging, but it isn't a bad game, per se.

    Big robots beating the mess out of big monsters... if there isn't much more to the movie than that, and you don't mind much more to Pacific Rim the game, either, then this might be for you. But if you want something that you can put a little more of yourself into, then you might want to just keep on looking.

    If you originally played Heroes of Might & Magic III back in the day we even more strongly urge you to ignore this. It bares very little resemblance to the original and feels quite insulting to fans. Skip this one and hope that a proper new mainline entry arrives on PC at some point, as Ubisoft has much better form on that platform.

    Family Guy: The Quest for Stuffapes The Simpsons: Tapped Out without quite understanding why the latter has remained a hit. Some Family Guy fans may consider a temporary move to Quahog, but chances are good they'll go back home to Springfield before long.

    While a few of the later environments are nice to explore, the bafflingly bad controls will dissuade you from even wanting to, and the lack of any clear direction or purpose as an adventure game makes Return to Castlerama better rolled up in another scroll and left somewhere where no one is going to read it.

    It might not go down as the best Harry Potter video game ever, but it offers some stretches of fun that you won’t find anywhere else, and the guess here is that Jam City will be dreaming up more to throw into its world for some time to come.

    Telekinesis Kyle is too clunky, too short, and too unfinished in so many ways, that I wouldn’t be surprised if we saw our titular hero trading in the mind control for some other more interesting super power later on down the road.

    Not only is it dull, repetitive, and mind-numbingly easy but it’s clearly not even finished. Everything about it just screams “placeholder”. The low-res forest background, the not at all cute Pokémon design, and the awful PS1 era 3D visuals. It looks like a developer made a proof of concept for a Pokémon game.

    Monty Python's Cow Tossing often feels more like a game of chance than it does a game in the traditional sense.

    The poor performance of the controls as a whole ties a neat bow around this muddled mess of a game.

    Ultimately, The Croods is a slow, mediocre game that doesn’t require you to do much beyond tap the screen on occasion. Only the littlest fans of the movie will get anything out of it—and you might want to turn off in-app purchases before you let them get too far.

    It’s certainly commendable that EA wants to give mobile gamers a “real” Madden game, but this still isn’t quite it.

    It's just a shame the actual game aspect is nearly unplayable.

    Scarface for iOS has the foundation of a solid social adventure, but it doesn't expand on its component parts in any interesting ways. The lines of dialogue might be enough to draw fans in initially, but pedestrian gameplay will do precious little to keep them coming back for more.

    You could do worse than NFL Pro 2013, and if it had the field all to itself the way Madden does in the console market, it would probably be downloaded by just about every football fan with a mobile device. But since it does have competition, gamers are going to want to shop around before deciding if this is the way they want to get their daily dose of pigskin.

    Worst of all, Tales of Phantasia deserves so much better. Fans mention its name in the same breath as legendary RPGs like Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy VI for a reason. But as long as the West only has this mobile mess as a modern reference, we'll never fully comprehend that reason.

    RollerCoaster Tycoon 4 Mobile does little to earn its name, or its price tag. Sad as it is to say, it's almost indistinguishable from any other free-to-play building game. Atari is obviously hoping to sell the game on its name alone. For that, somebody in charge needs to be forced to ride on the last car of a wooden roller coaster for a year straight. No bathroom breaks.

    Final Fantasy: All the Bravest is a game that only longtime fans could love, and only because it's a sprite and music dump of past titles. At the same time, it's a slap in the face of those fans with its shameless in-app purchases.

    An average-at-best arcade title.

    It doesn't try anything really new, and the TeamLava shopping experience is as lopsided as ever, but there's enough charm in this package to make it well worth the install for social gamers with a love for the wild kingdom.

    If it weren't for the game's overly expensive economy and dearth of social features, Tap Pet Hotel has the potential to be a really solid social game. But right now it's decidedly average.

    So while Men vs. Machines is a really good game, I just feel the need to steer big fans of Gun Bros. away unless you want to start all over and re-level, or pay into a game that's exactly the same as the one you just walked away from.

    Where Fashion Story succeeds is in making a social game truly accessible is in terms of keeping the interface clean and the goals straightforward.

    Geo Hunters takes some time to get used to, but it's not really worth the effort. There's so little variety to the gameplay, and the combat grows tiresome very quickly.

    Turning up somewhat late to the party can't sap Drop the Chicken of the talent that's clearly been employed in its level design, but it will leave the coop it's housed in feeling a little too familiar for many.

    For the most part, Cannibal Bunnies is delightful. As the game progresses, things stay challenging and fast-paced enough to keep the players entertained. It's strange and weird and adorably twisted, and there's no way fans of puzzle games like Lemmings won't enjoy it to death.

    Small World is the near perfect example of how board games can be a compelling experience on the iPad.
