Fans of the original game can rest assured that this is the same game that they played and loved all those years ago. If you missed out on the game the first time around, know that Pinball Fantasies (even acknowledging its occasional, current hiccups), is still one of the finest pinball simulators that gaming has ever produced.

Pictorial HD is not a complex game, it's not a challenging game, and in many ways it's a rather repetitive one. But it's wonderful nevertheless, and it's also impossible to play without having a great big silly grin on your face. If there's a better reason to pick up a game than that, I really can't imagine what it is.

Without question one of the most beautifully crafted and fun video games to come along the past ten years. Peggle HD will be familiar to millions, but for those who have yet to experience this masterpiece, oh, how we envy them.

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 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 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.

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

If your mobile device does more than just entertain you on the way to work, but also provides your kids with some sanity-saving distraction, then they'll love the world, music and characters, but become quickly frustrated with the game.

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.

Contre Jour HD is a crowning achievement, an app that earned every one of its five stars. Smart, attractive and fun, it's one of the best reasons to own an iPhone or iPad.

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.

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.

Super Crossfire HD will thrill players of all ages, giving them a chance to cut through extraterrestrial hordes on the go.

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.

So yes, Trucks and Skulls is a direct Angry Birds clone, but it's a great one. Not only is it immensely enjoyable, but it also has a cool presentation, with post apocalyptic backgrounds, mean looking trucks and plenty of explosions. Even the levels sound hardcore; Fortress of Bang, Indestruction.

We literally have nothing bad to say about World of Goo. It's a wonderful puzzle game that every iPad owner needs to download. Prepare to spend hours, if not weeks, playing this one.

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.

It's varied, brisk, challenging, charmingly produced and packed full of content.

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.

It all comes down to how much you enjoy these types of apps, and whether you dream of owning an airport. If either sound appealing, Airport City HD will definitely keep you entertained. For how long will probably depend on how much money you feel the game is worth.

There are a few niggles surrounding Symphonica: the story's ridiculous, there's far too much cut-scene waffling and the beats are ever so slightly off, but we had a huge amount of fun playing the game. Anyone who enjoys rhythm games should definitely check it out.

If you're looking for a light-as-air platformer to turn to in this era of grizzled shooters and dark adventure, Kirby's the right kind of good, clean fun to cleanse your palate.

Radiation Island is one of the most value-packed titles on iOS right now, jam-packed with features, things to do, and all wrapped up in a gorgeous package to boot.

Blood Brothers 2 is a great strategy game. The artwork looks unique and there are a lot of interesting generals to assume the role of. The game is held back by an unforgiving stamina system and its need of a constant Internet connection, but don't let these issues prevent you from experiencing what is an otherwise quality effort.

Moneygrabber is fairly mediocre for the most part, and not as addictive as the competition. Sadly, the appeal quickly wore off.

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

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.

1+2=3 is a fun and addictive game.

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.

The game is light on extras, but its still worth a try.

It's got a unique art style and different sort of gimmick, but you'll be finished with it much quicker than anticipated.

Bit Dungeon II has a few interesting ideas, but in the end it simply can't execute them all and falls flat on its face.

Spirefall is a fun and very entertaining game. It has a very simple objective and anyone can have fun playing. The game is a little too easy though and there is not a lot of extras available to keep people around for a long time.

The Princess Bride is another frustrating example of how annoying licensed games can get once they reach the mobile level. Playing only just might turn you off the license nearly entirely, if not just massively embarrass you.

Bean Boy is a fun and pretty addicting game. It is very easy for anyone to pick up and play. There is not much to keep you playing though as there is no extra content and the game tends to be a little too easy.

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.

Don't Get Wet is a simple to play, but difficult to master one touch game. It has a unique concept with the controlling of two characters, but it may turn some people off because of the difficulty of having to watch and react to two different sets of obstacles.

The game is fairly mediocre and will not stand the test of time.

Skip on this game and choose another rhythm title. You'll be glad you did.

Tap Titans is a poor attempt at making an addictive simplistic title. The game has no semblance of rhyme or reason. The gameplay is unchallenging and uninspired. Many people will delete this quickly after downloading it.

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.

Platform Panic is a very fun and addictive platformer.

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.

The combat aspects and graphics are both very good, but the all the time bars really hold this game back.

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

Looney Tunes Dash is another endless runner with little offer by way of originality or excitement. You could pick any title off the App Store that would do virtually the same type of thing, and you'd still benefit from it. If you don't like Looney Tunes, you'd be better suited with a different game anyway.

If you like ninjas and simple gameplay, there's plenty for you here!

It's a blatant cash grab, and there are a ton of better free-to-play games out there.

Volt is a sound physics puzzler and it does what it sets out to do well. It's not particularly ground-breaking or innovative, but if you're looking for a game that has refinement and great controls, you could do a lot worse than Volt.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Papers, Please continues this years great line-up of PC ports to iOS. It has a great subtlety to it, and its message to players can be interpreted in so many different ways.

The deceptive simpleness of gameplay lends itself to complex and difficult tracks that make a player feel accomplished. Unlike a majority of iOS games, stabbing your finger at the screen won't win this one. It will take practice and skill and that's a good thing.

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.

Telltale knocked it out of the park with this one

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.

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.

Whether you're a fan of zombie games or not, you'll find plenty of content here that is fun. The gameplay is tight and lacks really any sort of gimmick. The only qualms I had was that the gameplay wasn't varied enough for the length of the game, but it was still a blast till the end.

Free games don't get better than this.

Truly, Framed is one of the must-have mobile games of 2014.

Monument Valley is enjoyable in the same way the Mona Lisa is enjoyable, once you see it once the magic is over. Adding to this feeling is the complete lack of challenge and the short playtime of around an hour. There is no replay value what-so-ever, once the game is over it is over.

Crossy Road is how free gaming should be done. It's fun fast-paced gameplay is a blast to pass the time while waiting in lines or just if you want to zone out for a while. However, if you're someone that needs some depth to be entertained you won't find it here.

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.

Even though the game is short, at $.99 the purchase is definitely worth it. The premise is original and executed quite well. However, don't go into this expecting a ton of content, because the game is very short, and although it does have a bit of replayability, players can expect to drain it of content in 5 or 6 hours.

This one is worth skipping as your time could be spent playing any game with a shred of originality. It gets points for playing as described, but that's about it.

It was fun to the end, and the witty and darkly humorous story added an atmosphere that so many other puzzle games lack.

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.

Vainglory is an excellent showcase of what can be done with iOS 8's Metal engine, and exemplary of MOBAs in general. It could even go toe to toe with PC releases. For that reason, it's certainly one free-to-play title that you'd do well to download.

Overall, Space Age is a beautiful and intelligent adventure with a few flaws that's still very much worth checking out, especially if you're hankering for some old-school pixel action or something decidedly familiar.

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.

The game is worth a try if you enjoy shooter games, but for most people it can be passed over.

Big Hero 6: Bot Fight isn't the most original match-3 puzzler on the block, but for a licensed title and simple match game it's pretty fun, acting as at the very least a substitute for when you're waiting for energy to drop on its bigger brothers.

This is a worthy successor to the original Candy Crush Saga with plenty for newcomers and old fans alike. Just don't be surprised if you end up with some cavities after playing for an extended period of time.

Mr. Particle Man is an interesting riff on classic arcade titles, with plenty of challenge and difficulty. You may not always like where the challenge comes from, but it's there just the same, and if you can surmount it you'll find plenty to like about the game.

World of Warriors is a unique RPG, that combines a bit of a fighting game feel with turn based combat.

Icewind Dale: Enhanced Edition is one of the best RPGs you'll be able to find on iOS (or elsewhere for that matter) and for $10 you're delivered a ridiculous amount of content in a gorgeous package. If you've never tried it out, now is the best time to give it a whirl.

Metal Skies is a fun shooter that simulates aerial dogfights. The game has a good concept, but doesn't offer enough to keep it from being repetitive after a short while.

Zombie Catchers is a fun and unique title. It's very creative in its approach to the genre, and it's a blast to play. The amount of waiting you have to do to play gets really annoying and the game constantly makes you take breaks because of the wait times.

DeNa's freemium Star Wars tower defense title sounded like an interesting concept when it first emerged, but having spent some time on it, it's quite disappointing, namely within how generic it feels and the barrage of IAPs thrown at the player within the first few moments of play throughout the entire life cycle of the game on your device.

Jet Run: City Defender is another endless runner game that doesn't do much to stand out from the crowd. It has solid graphics, but the gameplay is much the same that you would find in any other runner gamer, you are still avoiding obstacles as you move around the map.

If you're looking for a pocket racer with nothing to worry about but going as fast as you can to rack up points and awesome times, Drift'n'Drive is an absolutely essential title. Pick it up for the quintessential bite-sized sports game, and you won't regret it.

Space Wolf is a gorgeous and full-featured card battler with layers upon layers of strategic finesse that fans of the universe and genre will no doubt eat up. However, it relies on a hefty amount of "buy Y to do X" sensibilities, so if you can't get behind that, you might be better off with another strategy game.

The game is a nice throwback to a more simple time in gaming.

SAS 4: Zombie Assault is a very fun arcade shooter. There are a lot of unlockables and customization options to keep you coming back and playing, but the arcade style gameplay can become a little repetitive over time.

Monster Squad is interesting, but unfortunately it's no different from the gaggle of other games out there that see fit to force players into succumbing to frustrating wait times, annoying free-to-play trappings, and premium currency silliness that impedes what could be an interesting riff on the monster collecting genre.

If you're a LittleBigPlanet fan, there's plenty to attract you to Run Sackboy! Run, but it's nothing that's going to end up breaking the mold, unfortunately. It's a little disappointing, but it's serviceable. In the end, you'll probably end up missing the diversity of the regular LittleBigPlanet games.

Ghost Blade is an excellent and stylish amalgam of combo-focused action that's accessible, simple to play, and simultaneously challenging.

Daddy Long Legs is very frustrating, and most people won't give it a chance after a few failed runs. The controls and physics are a little hard to master, and for the one satisfying run you'll have, the overall frustration isn't worth it.

Rival Stars Basketball has plenty going for it, but it's wrought with frustrating mechanics that make it a pain to soldier on through.

It's very clear, unfortunately, that NHL 2K is a free offering, as you get what you pay for in this situation. If you were hoping for the next installment in a franchise that doesn't appear to be coming back to consoles in quite some time, you're going to be sadly disappointed.

Shooting Showdown 2 has a very solid system in place. The gyroscope controls work well, but it can be very repetitive at times. It helps if you play with friends, but the game still becomes dull after a few play throughs.

Adrenaline Rush: Miami Drive gets off to a decent start, but after a while you are just spinning the tires. Quite frankly, there are better endless runner games available.

Camp Pokemon is best suited to newcomers to the world of Pokemon or younger players, though the minigames themselves aren't bad for an hour or so of entertainment as they are.

Anyone looking for a quick and easy portal into the universe, however, should be pleased.

The game is solid if you haven't played the first, but the loose steering causes too many deaths.
