Heroes Call isn't quite in the same class as Diablo, yet it manages to capture much of the same spirit in a freemium mobile package. That's a pretty impressive feat, and it should be enough to keep you hacking and slashing for a while.

The issues I had with the game revealed themselves because I played it a lot. I loved it and still do, and I'd readily recommend it to anyone. I only complain because I see a good game, but I know with some minor tweaks it can be great.

I.C.U.P.'s sharp, cartoonishly exaggerated visual style looks good, but that's not nearly enough to save it. Without the bugs, this would be at the low-end of franchise cash-in mediocrity; with them, it's just plain bad.

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

The problem with Zombie Swipeout is that it makes no attempt to do anything bold with the concept.

The loading screens aside, though, Fashion Icon is a perfectly good Top Girl-style RPG to pick up if you aren't playing one already.

Perhaps the only real frustration of Mega Run lies in the game's somewhat frequent crashes, which left me less than enchanted as I scrolled through the game's menus all over again. Menus which, oddly enough, are perhaps the only non-juicy things about the game, with commands awkwardly labelled, making navigation a sticking point.

Ultimately, that's the stock and trade of Duckers: plenty of charm. Retro Dreamer has traded highly nostalgic visual design in for squeal-worthy adorableness, and jumped on the freemium bandwagon, but like the era to which they pay homage, some things always stay the same: great gameplay drives this studio, and this title is no exception.

Technical difficulties prevent this title from being the crowning achievement in "average." The first five minutes are kind of fun, but it's all downhill from there.

Soctics League is the kind of game that's a blast to play a few times a day, especially when you have a friend or two playing as well.

There's nothing inherently wrong with the game, but there was really nothing that made it stand out either. I'm starting to think the worst thing you can be in the crowded app store is "meh", and unfortunately, that's really what Extreme Skater is. While there's no reason to tell you not to check out the game, there's really no reason for me to tell you should either.

For three dollars (or five in HD)? This is a game for everyone.

Despite its lack of realism, fans of flight will want to sample it-as will anyone else who's just in the mood for a whimsical iOS game.

The controls are responsive, the gameplay is addictive, and it doesn't try and force you into spending cash on in-game items. It understands what people love about the genre, and it provides just about everything one could ask for.

Tiny Plane is yet another triumph for Chillingo, a simple, addictive game with enough complexity to keep people playing well into the future.

A fine little offering, though not quite up there with the App Store's best. It requires a bit of patience and fine-tuning as you play, and some levels' challenge can become a bit grating after a while, but it's a unique and fun experience among the many iOS offerings.

Even without much real-life influence, Virtua Tennis Challenge accomplishes one key goal: portable tennis action. It may be pricier than most mobile games, but if you enjoy hitting the fuzzy green ball, it'll be well worth your time and cash.

The complexity added to the gameplay is a much-needed change for the genre as well; it feels fresh and unique in a crowded space on iOS.

A rare spinoff that might outlast the movie's theatrical run. Even if you're inclined to wait for the film's release on DVD, you should pick up the fun little free app today.

People that missed the first title will get their hands on this and find it to be extremely unique, and people that loved Defender Chronicles for being great in 2009 will get more of what they liked.

It takes an enjoyable concept, slices it into two fun modes, and respects the player's competence by getting relentlessly difficult. It's a little simplistic, sure, but that's just as often a compliment as it is an insult in the world of mobile games.

The few small things Zombie Farm 2 does to improve it over the original will at least keep it as quirky and addicting as usual. It's just a shame to see some of the biggest pitfalls of the original, like combat, end up as a simple cut-and-paste job.

Maybe the slot machines are supposed to be a metaphor for all of the dice rolls, seen and unseen, that affect every fantasy RPG from Dungeons & Dragons to World of Warcraft. It's also possible that's a massive over-thinking, and the guys from Game Stew Studio just really like to hit the casinos on their days off. Regardless, Tower of Fortune is one to bet on for a pretty great time.

Slingshot Racing is as smooth graphically as it is in its tether turning system, and it's well worth a spin into your app library.

Despite its control issues, Bee Leader is a game I feel every iDevice owner should try. Like a honeycomb dripping honey, it oozes quality from nearly every facet.

Atmosphere plays a huge role in Spider, and the beautifully hand drawn artwork pairs nicely with the hip soundtrack to evoke and intensify the sense of mystery that's so crucial to the game. Tiger Style's innovative iPhone debut is easily worth putting at the top your must-have game app list, and at $2.99, you simply can't go wrong.

Witch Wars is one of those rare gems that manages to get everything right. It offers up a fresh, competitive take on a well-worn genre, while reimaining fast-paced, addictive, and perfect for quick bursts of on-the-go gaming.

Minor control issues aside, it successfully walks the fine line between being playable in quick bursts and being fun enough to play for much longer than that. It's another great game from the likes of [adult swim], a developer I trust more with each release.
