till, if you're interested in testing your true capacity for cursing, and Super Hexagon seems a little tame these days, you'll certainly get your money's worth here.

Even with its somewhat crude presentation and hands-off gameplay experience, Every Hero has plenty of appeal and replay value. Plus, it's free of charge - and it's not every day you can get a hero to do something for nothing.

Fans of either genre will certainly enjoy their time with this new hybrid title, but neither camp is likely to be entirely satisfied.

For a free-to-play game, Ultima Forever isn't bad at all, and adventurers with a good online connection won't want to miss out on the chance to play alongside friends. Between technical bugs, the complete lack of an off-line mode, and the need to pay for premium items though, it might just take you forever to really get into the game's many charms.

Worms 3's new squad and card mechanics may not entirely suit the tastes of purists, but if the series is to evolve any further then it surely has to take a few risks somewhere along the line. It's not entirely Worms as you know it, then, but those new twists are entertaining enough to ensure that this new mobile outing for the franchise is more than capable of standing on its own two feet.

It would've been nice for NFL Pro 2014 to show some signs of improvement over last year's messy offering, but there's barely anything here of merit. Go play Madden instead - any Madden. You'll feel way better.

All things considered, Amateur Surgeon 3 is a very worthy addition to the series, and will delight fans of the earlier games. If you're new to this maverick surgical action, you may find the humor just a little too dark, and the action a little on the squeamish side, but if you like your gaming to have an off-beat flavor then you owe it to yourself to get stuck into this frantically meaty gameplay.

Mikey Shorts did a lot for the platforming market last year, and for just under two bucks, Mikey Hooks does even better with a new mode, a great new gameplay tactic and that same wonderful presentation from the original. One play and you'll be, ahem, hooked.

Zombies Ate My Friends serves up an enjoyable amount of fun for players of all ages. It's not perfect, but it satisfies like a good, cheap dinner.

Had more time gone into the presentation and PvP of Heroes War, it could've been a real contender against the App Store's dominant turn-based champions. For now, it's moderately entertaining, but can't shake free of its "me too" design.

While The Drowning could've used more variety - and maybe even a multiplayer mode to keep things interesting - it sets a benchmark for mobile first-person shooters.

If you're not crazy about MMO titles, Game of War: Fire Age won't change your mind. It's a real grind to build something of significance, and even then, it can be frustrating against an overpowered Alliance. For fans of the genre, though, this should be downloaded immediately. All hail to the King, however long he lasts, anyway.

Despite its number two ranking on the App Store (right behind Despicable Me: Minion Rush), we don't expect Bus Derby to become the next iPhone and iPad phenomenon, but it's a mildly entertaining freemium effort that provides a change of pace from driving Ferraris. We just realized how ridiculous that sounds.

With its refreshingly original core platform mechanic, not to mention the wonderful audio and artwork, Sky Tourist is a game that you'll desperately want to enjoy more than you actually will - a real pity. When it works, it's wonderful, but much like those terrifyingly tense buzzer games where you gently run a loop of metal over a drawn out wire, for too much of the time it's simply a test of endurance.

We'll stop short of calling this the worst game on the App Store, since there's bound to be bigger abominations than Celebrity Dentist, but of all the games we've played, it is without question the worst. From what we can tell, video game dentistry is here to stay. Excuse us while we ignore it.

From the outstanding water to the Career and Online play, you'll struggle to find better racers on smartphones and tablets.

There's no question that Rivals at War 2084 represents a much improved experience over the original.

Traditional shooter fans will likely find the pace of gameplay a little too slow for their liking at first, but once you settle into the rhythm of things you'll understand that this is a very enjoyable game of cautious cat-and-mouse. It's just a shame those in-app purchases put such a dent in the game's otherwise very solid armor.

Overall, Lums is a fantastic addition to the crowded physics puzzle genre, and packs in more than enough originality to put a smile on the face of even the most jaded physics action fan.

Bloons TD Battles likely isn't what purist fans of the series would have asked for, but at this stage in the franchise's life it's probably time for something other than more of the same - however enjoyable the existing single-player games have been up until now. It's the classic gameplay remodeled for a different sort of audience, then, and even IAP quibbles can't take too much of the shine off the predictably outstanding gameplay to be found here.

Overall the game's a good time but has a couple issues, the least of which are those boring cubicles. Most importantly, we feel the touchscreen controls don't work as they should.

Ending's simplistic visuals and punishing puzzle strategy will almost certainly condemn it to App Store chart mediocrity - a real pity, because we don't think any puzzle fun will want to miss out on the maddening, yet fascinating challenge to be found here. Buck the trend this week and leave all those brasher, more colorful, yet all so often generic puzzlers to have a different day in the sun.

Fun though it is to race across the landscape splattering anything that moves, the progression system really doesn't work as well as it should. The balancing of the randomized landscapes, objects and zombies feels noticeably uneven between attempts. As a result, your progress in two different rounds will differ wildly - regardless of how many upgrades you might have thrown at your overall loadout.

If you can overcome the game's challenges - both fair and unfair - this is a very satisfying mobile shooter. Just be prepared to work a little harder than you should really have to.

Aside from that minor annoyance, Pac-Man Dash is both highly polished and refreshing. Not sure whether the upcoming toys will be a hit, but if anything, you can enjoy this fast-paced and free runner for your mobile device.

There's no doubt that Dungeonism won't be to everyone's tastes. With its pretty but primitive graphics and sound, not to mention its roguelike flavors which give death an air of inevitability, you'll need an appetite for exploration and experimentation to get the most out of this experience. If that sounds like your cup of tea though, Dungeonism might just end up being one of your favorite games of 2013.

Still, if you don't mind paying a dollar for what will likely be a couple of hours ofentertainment, you'll certainly have as much fun here as you could hope for from any brainless bludgeoner.

Problem is, Tons of Guns is just too basic for its own good. Being unable to move makes each fight unfair, especially the toughest ones, while the aforementioned aiming controls are a big no. Not a terrible game, but there are better shooters available.
