    Ninja Throw
    It's a fun game overall, just not groundbreaking. At the end of the day, we had no trouble putting it down, or completing a stage with the lowest number of points to move to the next one.

    My Railway
    My Railway HD is likely to divide gamers. On the one hand, it's one of the most enjoyable freemium titles that we've played for a very long time: it looks beautiful, its mechanics are more engaging than most, and the game does an excellent job of guiding you through your career progress.

    Great Little War Game
    Great Little War Game HD is much better than a three out of five. We just couldn't award it a higher score knowing it crashes on iPad 2. If you can deal with that, or have the iPhone/older iPad, this App comes highly recommended.

    Fragger
    Ultimately, the overwhelming frustration makes Fragger HD a huge pain in the butt.

    Elemental Rage
    Provides several hours of fun, and it's great to see this type of game on the App Store. We think $6.99 is a bit much, but if you're into this type of adventure, it's a solid pickup.

    Rocket Riot
    It's cool while it lasts. Unfortunately, the lack of mission variety makes Rocket Riot a bit tedious, while the missing multiplayer mode is a real letdown. Had it come packaged with even local MP, we would've increased the score.

    The Lorax
    Is it the deepest, most complex game on the App Store? Of course not. You can plow through the entire thing in a few hours, maybe less. On the flip side, The Lorax was more entertaining than we expected, and the fact that we didn't have to spend a dime was key. A treat indeed.

    Time Crisis 2nd Strike
    The real kicker, though, is the price. Namco Bandai gives away the short prologue free of charge, then asks for a ridiculous $8.99 to unlock the rest of the game. If you have the cash to burn, Time Crisis: 2nd Strike HD is a solid purchase, but we suggest waiting for a price drop, or going with the cheaper iPhone version.

    Zynga Slots
    What it can never simulate of course is the rush of a win, and what you're left with is a rather depressing experience: a true simulator of our bleak economic times where no-one can afford to do much that's real anyway.

    Street Fighter X Tekken Mobile
    As a single player game, there is a great deal to like about Street Fighter X Tekken Mobile, and even the negative elements such as the low framerate can't detract from the varied moves, decent selection of characters and sparkling environments. Sadly it's only half an offering at present.

    Rocket Cars
    Rocket Cars is an average racer. The game has some good ideas and features, but lacks a multiplayer mode and scalable difficulty. Considering the handful of excellent racing games available for smartphones and tablets, this one is tough to recommend.

    Words On Tour
    Words on Tour is a decent game, but doesn't have the same player connectivity or uniqueness of Words with Friends.

    Puzzle Pets
    There's no doubt that you've played this game several times over, so it'll appeal to you if you're a fan of the genre, but in the end it's just another matching puzzler.

    WWE Immortals
    WWE Immortals is an intriguing concept that WWE fans will appreciate. The problem is that this free-to-play game quickly grows repetitive, and in-game currency prevents you from obtaining your favorite superstars without opening your wallet.

    Galcon 2: Galactic Conquest
    Galcon 2 is promising for those already familiar with its rules and regulations, but it's a daunting proposition for anyone looking to just get started with it.

    Jump Car (2014)
    The game is fairly mediocre and will not stand the test of time.
    • 67 Metascore

    Docking Sequence
    Docking Sequence is an entertaining diversion, but only if you're willing to experiment with different ways of solving puzzles. For everyone else, that may be a little too involved.

    My Om Nom
    My Om Nom is an adorable pet simulator that could have been made better with a lack of wait times and other bizarre design decisions, but as is it's still a fun on-the-go sim that you'll pick up and likely put down after seeing all it has to offer, wait times included.

    Brothers in Arms 3: Sons of War
    The combat aspects and graphics are both very good, but the all the time bars really hold this game back.

    Gentlemen...Ricochet Mini!
    Gentlemen...Ricochet! Mini is an interesting experiment that tones down an entire game for Game Boy-styled graphics and for the most part succeeds.

    SimCity BuildIt
    Sim City Build It is a strange mishmash of free-to-play trappings, resource management, and other oddities that don't necessarily make sense within the context of the game as a franchise or even as a stand-alone app. Pass on it and choose something much meatier to spend your time with.

    BattleLore: Command
    However, casual fans will not find much to be had here as the gameplay doesn't lend itself to spontaneous play. For those who are looking to try the genre though, Battlelore is a great starting point, having challenge without an overwhelming ruleset.

    Crusaders Quest
    The problem is that it gets bogged down by the different freemium features that you see in most free to play apps. The game also requires an Internet connection and many people may not want to use there data up to play this.

    Tomb Raider II
    I admire what Square Enix tried to do with this release, and I believe they did the best they could do with the controls. However, when porting a game this complex, there's not a lot of room for change, and action-adventure is just not a genre that translates well to touch screens.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    God of Light
    God of Light doesn't shine bright enough to break away from other established puzzle games. The game has an interesting concept, but its imprecise controls and lack of challenging puzzles hold it back from being great.

    Seabeard
    Unfortunately, this is another game that has the potential to show that mobile gaming can be competitive with handheld systems and consoles that has been marred by the get rich quick freemium model.

    Dragon Quest III
    If you're a huge JRPG fan or just enjoy playing on mobile for long bouts of time this game may scratch your itch. However, with the high price and time investment, this game isn't particularly conductive to mobile gaming.

    Gems of War
    There are plenty of better free-to-play titles out there with fewer frustrations, so opt for one of those if you're looking for a good puzzler.

    All Guns Blazing
    All Guns Blazing is a fun shooter in short bursts. The gameplay gets a bit repetitive with each play through, but if played in moderation it can be a pretty fun time building up your cartel.

    Bitcoin Billionaire
    Bitcoin Billionaire is a very interesting game to say the least. The game can be very addicting because it is so simplistic and you really want to make as much money as you can. On the other hand though it is not really a game at all and if you are looking for something more challenging than tapping a screen over and over than look elsewhere.
