In time I am certain that I’d become just as good as these conquerors, but Galcon 2 just doesn’t present me with enough motivation to play long enough to get good. If you’re not already a Galcon fan, there’s a slim chance you’ll stick around long enough to become one.

A fun third-person action/RPG that isn't as original as it'd like players to think it is. It's got some kinks that need to be ironed out, but it's definitely something that most action RPG fans will like while it remains simple enough to appeal to genre newcomers.

For a first effort, Suspect in Sight shows a lot of promise. It successfully puts to use every feature that an iOS gaming enthusiast would want from a title while delivering a unique game. The stylistic theme that is carried throughout the game is spot on, and it makes the experience pretty immersive. That said, the game tries to coast a little on that uniqueness and doesn't put a ton of time into varying the gameplay.

The bad taste left in my mouth after playing Do Do EGG is unfortunate, because it really is quite a fun little game. But you're constantly bumping up against the paywalls they put up, and even after paying you're still forced to endure their banner ads for other titles.

Planet Diver is a fairly straightforward and stylish “endless” sort of game that’s perfectly enjoyable if you’re looking for something to eat up a few minutes here and there.

Cardboard Castle isn't without its problems to be sure, and some of them are bigger than others. But I think the look and feel of the game make up for those issues for the most part. It's a short but enjoyable ride that's definitely worth the price.

LUNA is far from a failure of course, and is certainly worth checking out for fans of slower paced puzzlers – its beautiful presentation should help attract a good helping of casual problem solvers too, even if the experience might leave them feeling a little empty in the end.

If it looks good and plays smoothly, which it certainly does, then maybe everything else simply falls into place in time like learning to be a better ninja. Or a better decorator. Or in this case, both.

Yes Chef! is a cute and fun match-three game.

While this version of LostWinds fails to live up to the lofty heights set by the 2008 WiiWare version, the game is all here and is just as visually pleasing on iOS.

It’s not the worst ending, but considering season two hasn’t even been announced yet, there isn’t any kind of a guarantee that players will get closure for everything they did in season one.

Paladog! is cute and charming, but it quickly wears out its welcome because if forces you to replay levels way too many times if you want to keep advancing.

The final decision of the third episode hints that that may be the case going forward, but we'll have to wait and see. With more independence and more influence her darker (or at least more mature) side can grow. Telltale just needs to be willing to let go.

A game that’s great in small doses but the flaws in which make it difficult to sit with for a long time, especially after the first play. For the most part that’s OK, in a world full of games it can be impossible to put down, sometimes not losing your whole weekend to your phone can be a great thing.

A hammer with dreams of being a scalpel.

It’s a nice follow-up to a pretty interesting story, and I’m curious to see where it all goes from here.

The Endless Mode is fun, but on its own it can only carry the game so far.

Devil May Cry 4: Refrain is trying too hard, while seemingly ignoring the device it's running on.

Make it Rain: The Love of Money is shallow and repetitive, which, given the current explosion of tapping games, might be exactly what some players want.

If you’re a fan of the Pocket God franchise or Doodle Jump-style games, you’re going to have a good time here. If you’re burned out on either, though, Ooga Jump isn’t going to do a lot to change your mind.

Midnight Star might feel a tad watered down to the hardcore console FPS gamer, but even those guys will appreciate the basic approach that Industrial Toys has taken in an effort to reduce friction as much as possible.

There isn’t a huge amount to Boltgun, but what’s there largely satisfies – just don’t go into expecting it to be the throwback shooter many have suggested it is.

Sometimes the rhythm of the music doesn’t quite match the rhythm the game asks you to tap in. It’s not the biggest annoyance in the world, but it adds a twang of frustration to what should be a simple and satisfying waste of time. Other than that there’s nothing particularly wrong with Groove Galaxy.

The Gods: Rebellion is no God of War killer. It’s quite linear, its controls need some touching-up, and the suggestions for in-app purchases (which are doled out whenever you die) are sure to cheese some players off. That said, the game looks fantastic and it still manages to offer a button-mashing good time—at least until all that button-mashing misfires and you start executing the wrong attacks.

With that said, UFC 2015 is a solid fighting game with a good assortment of ways to beat your foes into submission. The energy boosts and pay-to-play fighters aside, this is one I’m sure fans of MMA will want to check out.

War Tortoise 2 is a lovely diversion – spend too much time with it and the cracks start to show, but if you’re dipping in and out you’re going to be doing it with a smile on your face.

It's pretty simple, and there will be times when you have nothing to do besides sitting and waiting for a meal to finish cooking or for a zombie to resurrect. But it's all worth it when you get to serve people Hobo Delight. Whatever that might be.

The game adheres to the control scheme and tropes that most endless runner games possess, but it still manages to feel like something fresh.
