If you're the type of person for whom the types of games mentioned above are torture, Oh! Cube isn't for you. If you're a fan of puzzle titles, though, with even a little bit of interest in gridlocked brain-bending, give (puzzle) piece a chance.

Even with the lack of an addictive progression curve, Bug Assault is a nice addition to the arcade-style app library. The upgrade system might be a little flawed, but the unique two-finger gameplay and colorful cast of critters are enough to make any gamer happy.

Unfortunately, the team at the fledgling Monstars Inc. has a lot to learn about this platform if they want Kotomon to join the ranks of their other titles. As it stands now, I find myself stressed at the end of one level, dreading the beginning of the next, and ultimately, pressing the home button pretty quickly.

Despite its flaws, though, The Sandbox is a remarkable little app that will keep you busy for ages. It's hard to have any serious grievances with a game that molds itself according to your mood.

A solidly-designed package that would surely entice any thief-in-training to take a look. With this one, the only problem is that the package you're snagging is less "diamonds" and more "diamonds in the rough."

For social gaming fans who never quite "got" the Pokemon craze, Mighty Monsters is sure to give you a nostalgia you never even had; in no time its adorable visuals will have you replacing "Pikachu" with your own staple and raising it up diligently.

An ideal example of a game that rises above the sum of its parts. Its problems can't be ignored, but the its highs are so much higher than its lows. The game - like Toku - is a mischievous scamp whose faults are not its undoing. And when all's said and done, there's such a strong puzzle platformer here that it's hard to stay mad for too long.

Despite the giant price hurdle, I really can't complain too much. Juggernaut: Revenge of Sovereign looks great, plays great, and has plenty of different modes to keep a player occupied for a long time.

Unfortunately, the controls feel a little sloppy and imprecise at times, which isn't frequently an issue but can be frustrating when particularly small objects start falling toward your planet.

The controls in Punch Hero are responsive, and there isn't much wrong with the core game, except that it's not as fun and goofy as Punch-Out!!, which is clearly what Punch Hero is trying to emulate.

This Could Hurt is pretty brief and pretty challenging, but it's also pretty fun. The 3D isometric graphics are vibrant, and what's more ridiculous than sending a child through a mechanized death course? Players who have a knack for games that require perfect timing will love this one, even if they find themselves finishing the entire game a little quickly.

The console-quality handheld debate is likely to continue for a while, but N.O.V.A 3 is the first title I've seen that pushes the quality of a handheld release this far.

Attempting to blend wordplay with other genres is a risky effort, and in AbraWORDabrA it just doesn't pay off. If you're a fan of mobile wordplay, don't be drawn in by the cute characters and promise of something fresh and original. There are plenty of better options out there.

While it's no Skateor Tony Hawk, that's perhaps the most surprising thing of all: the fact thatsomewhere along the line, Penny Timestops being an advergame, and starts feeling like a trippy skate session more than worth the price of admission. In a sea full of games shilling pet food and restaurants, you could do a lot worse than to shell out for this wild ride.

Babel Running looks nice, plays smoothly, and is fun for a while, but it doesn't do very much to shake up the genre. It'd be a lie to say that it isn't fun, but the repetitive nature and lame bonus mode keep it feeling a little behind the times.

Kids will love it, especially if they haven't played a Diner Dash game yet. It's just unfortunate that Nickelodeon didn't expend a little more energy on making the game a true delight for the show's older audience. And I assure you – that audience totally exists.

It's a welcome facelift to the farming experience that millions have come to love in recent years, with the main difference being that Farm Up lacks the social interactions, gifting, and bragging rights that makes games like FarmVille such a hit.

Regardless, if you've found yourself infected the concept of taking over the entire world in a matter of days, then Pandemic 2.5 is the best way to pursue global destruction on the fly.

Featuring a cute setting, simple mechanics, and a handful of upgrades, Tractor Trails is a charming game with a few minor annoyances.

So while it may wobble a little, you can count this among another LEGO experience built just as high as the world it's mirroring.

Like the zombies themselves, the fun here sneaks up on you, and before you know it you've been bitten in the neck and are bleeding helplessly on the ground.

There are a ridiculous amount of gameplay quirks and twists to keep you engaged from start to finish.

As far as stealth titles go, Robbery Bob is a pretty enjoyable one. The levels are varied enough to keep things interesting and the difficult ramps up at a steady enough pace that you'll never feel too out of your element or like one level is totally impossible compared to the last one. It's good for delivering some moments of legitimate fear of being caught, and the sneaking around feels authentic and tense. The game works despite the elements working against it, including some outdated graphics and painful dialogue.

My Little Hero might not be the perfect and deep Legend of Zelda clone that many await for iOS, but it still offers a charming and nostalgic look into the iconic childhood hero fantasy. Like your average nightmare, things get pretty crazy toward the end, but players willing to brave through the challenge will find a fun and rewarding experience.

The whole experience of Space Ops! was a little peculiar to me. As a huge fan of puzzlers and arcade titles, I spent every level trying to like it, even succeeding on the occasions where luck was on my side. Most of the time, however, the game felt caught in an identity crisis, with me sitting despondently in the middle suffering for it.

A game which might have had great potential, but as it is, has too much working against it to truly be memorable.

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.

It boggles my mind that Capcom can flawlessly port new titles like Street Fighter IV and Ghost Trick, but somehow struggle with classics like Mega Man X and Marvel vs. Capcom 2. It still contains all of the characters, modes, and combat of the original, but limiting that with occasionally slow and murky presentation gives the impression that Capcom is simply trying to make a quick buck as a cross promotion with the Marvel-heavy Avengers film.
