    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.
