    Another solid, yet standard, game from TeamLava. It has all the fixings of its predecessors and as such is likely a game that will do very well. If nothing else, it offers the same type of play that its fans have come to know and love and does so in a new visual style. In fact, Pet Shop Story tends to look a lot better than the past games in terms of overall art quality and animation (even if many of the avatar assets are reused constantly). All that said, if you are a fan of the TeamLava Story games, then this is an app you'll probably enjoy as well.

    ForestVille looks great and plays well enough, but it's not the "Ville" game many of us were hoping for.

    Along with the classic mechanics that made the first game popular, the new rendition comes with several new modes to offer both veterans and newcomers greater variety and challenge. More polished and expansive than the original, Paper Toss 2.0 is a great new free game for wasting time and procrastinating real work.

    Overall, Tap Zoo 2: World Tour is really more an official upgrade to Tap Zoo rather than a true sequel. Other than a few new features, the core play isn't different at all and the visuals, though higher quality, are still relatively similar. That said, the design is still solid, but the game loses points with its collection of bugs.

    As tempting as "side-scrolling mech warrior action" sounds, it's probably best if you give iDamaged a wide berth. The gameplay isn't intuitive, the mechanics are way too frustrating, and the inability to aim behind you is maddening. Just fire up Robotech on Netflix Instant instead. Trust me, you'll have a much better time.

    Perhaps in the right hands, Stardom: The A-List would be enjoyable, but for most of the game, nothing happens. All it really consists of is moving about to different locations and tapping objects the game says players can tap.

    Tiny Places is a fine, if unoriginal take on a fairly well-worn mobile genre. There's a nice visual polish to the package, but ultimately, this feels like ground we've tread countless times before.

    The fact of the matter is that while Zoo Story 2 is not a bad game. Truthfully, it is well presented for the type of game that it is, has a decent sound design, and its cute aesthetic works well for the demographic it is targeting.

    Unfortunately for Yeti Town, the only substantial difference between it and Facebook's Triple Town is the platform it's on. Otherwise it's the exact same game, only this time with snow.

    It's a well produced narrative filled with interesting dialogue options that really makes you feel like you're investigating.

    Azarashi isn't bad for what it is, but ends up feeling like a mini-game that belongs in a larger game rather than a standalone game itself.

    Ends up feeling average in every respect.

    Tiki Kart 3D is pretty close to being a really fun, nearly must-have game for your smartphone. If some of the problems I addressed above were to be patched, than I'd definitely be willing to sing the game's praises from on high.

    Charadium II is fun in the right hands. At worst, it can be difficult to draw, but the overall concept is as simple and solid as it was in the original.

    But it's frustrating to know that this management game loses its sheen once you reach a point where you feel like you should either spend money or delete the app.

    It's funny to me that a genre like text adventure could be resurrected and brought to a full color tablet device like the iPad or iPhone. Adding the high-res graphics and fantastic music/sound add a lot to the game, and make it much easier to feel the theme like a weight around your neck than back in the day when it was all just text. ZDay Survival Simulator may not hold your attention for more than a few sittings, but what's there is fantastic and deserves to be seen.

    While the game has a very respectable amount of content included, the underlying game is simply not good enough to justify dropping cash on. You'll get some neat puzzles, but you'll have to work for the solutions-not because you do not understand what needs to be done, but rather you aren't given enough feedback from the game to properly complete the levels with any sort of accuracy. The premise is fine, but the execution is flawed.

    By and large, Planet Buster is incredibly well done. It looks and sounds great, the gameplay is addictive and fast-paced, and the general setting is charmingly ridiculous. Pick this up: You won't be sorry you did.

    Sweet Shop isn't a bad game, but it's absolutely nothing original.

    RoboHero is great, no question about it. It manages to get just about everything right, which is no easy feat considering that the gameplay feels incredibly fresh for the iOS platform, and the interface is so well-done.

    For its outlandish storyline, there are a few chuckles to be found while playing The Princess Case: A Royal Scoop, but you'll unfortunately likely laugh for all of the wrong reasons. Even though the gameplay is fairly varied (all things considered), the issues here are simply too numerous to overcome.

    A bit more interesting than the original Facebook rendition, but still feels fairly formulaic.

    Raising a race horse in Derby Days is definitely fun, unfortunately the rest of the experience feels underdeveloped.

    There are probably plenty of people who will skip over this game simply because of its name. After all, it's hard to imagine a title that sounds like more of a generic cash-in than Margaritaville Online. But those people will be missing out. With so much to do and see, Margaritaville Online is easily one of the biggest and most enjoyable games on Facebook.

    Beneath the issues, Speed Blazers has the fundamentals of a great game in place. As it stands, though, this is a title that feels like it's still in beta, thanks to the bugs and the obviously incomplete content.

    Dream Pethouse is one of the more interesting releases so far on the mobile space from Zynga, being that it isn't just another Ville clone and actually tries something that hasn't been attempted too many times before it. The gameplay isn't exactly as exciting as we could have hoped, but Dream Pethouse is still a competent social game that could be played for months if you have enough friends keeping up with you.

    It does have the typical repetitiveness of free games, and the app feels like it actually punishes players for not making purchases. It also doesn't help that the number of tracks are unacceptably limited. All things considered, Rogue Racing feels about average at best.

    That's all that Tappily Ever After is: Tap Zoo. Other than a new coat of paint, there is nothing unique here. It is merely a copy and pasted title with little thought to even the economy.

    Food Fight isn't a very deep game. It's really just War with a little something extra sprinkled on top. Not nearly as deep as Ascension is, but it's sort of unfair to compare them directly. Playdek has done a fantastic job bringing the game to the mobile devices. And while it won't be my go-to game anytime soon, this is definitely the sort of title I'll revisit every once in a while to grab a game or two.
