While the concept of running around shooting computer-controlled monsters and other players sounds like a fun idea, in practice, it's an awkward mess, thanks to handicaps that have plagued the series for years.

A good, but not phenomenal game that's still worth a look if you don't care about burning a measly $0.99. Give it a try.

Ultimately, Contract Killer is a decent way to pass the time, and popping someone in the head is a guilty pleasure. That said, visiting the same environments and killing people (who rarely put up a fight) slows the game's momentum. Of course, it's free to download, and who knows. Perhaps you'll discover your true calling as a virtual sniper.

Aside from that one glaring complaint (which is more of a nitpicky issue, really), Arctic Escape is a well-designed homage to Lemmings and a wonderful value, as it costs $0.99 and works for both the iPhone and iPad. Definitely check it out.

So, no, it's nothing like you expected from the makers of Michigan and Killer 7, but maybe that was the whole point.

With a chippy monkey lobbing projectiles down upon you, the idea is to exact heated revenge by commanding your 'mobot' to place these blocks in a fire to heat up the pipes that he's standing below. Once you've thrown enough in there, a blast of steam shoots down at the snarling simian and, if he's standing in range, he'll recoil in pain and you'll gain a points bonus. Hells yeah.

As for the game, well, it's god-awful.

Squid Drop is in need of an update, but it's still a cool App well worth your time. On a related note, the sooner we have a squid plush toy, the better. Seriously, we just want to pinch its little face.

Things get crazy when the sky rains coconuts in a series of patterns, forcing you to skillfully guide the crab to safety. It's a fun time.

The game holds up surprisingly well, a true testament to its greatness, but the lackluster audio and high price lessons the appeal.

Issues aside, Kitchen Carnage is well worth a buck. Bottle Rocket not only captured the spirit of the show, but also designed a cool game with potential, providing the developers come through with the promised new updates and horrible deaths. Now excuse us while we dig for those leaderboards.

A game like this requires user-friendly controls, and Mos Speedrun's default scheme fails to make the grade.

OK, so War Pinball looks and sounds outstanding, but how does it play? Perfect. In-game missions, smooth play and tight controls put it in a whole other league. The fact that it runs without a hitch with the ball zipping all over the place is impressive, no question.

A huge disappointment, where not even Bluetooth support for select games can save it.

Namco Bandai took everything we love about Doodle Jump and improved the experience with some old school flavor. The result is an App that represents the best thing to happen to Pac-Man since Championship Edition on Xbox 360.

A decent Angry Birds clone that'll appeal to wrestling fans and, well, wrestling fans. There's little reason to choose this game over the other titles in the App Store, but if you eat, sleep and breathe WWE, it provides a decent experience.

One of the most unique puzzle games you'll find on the App Store. Sure, it only lasts a couple of hours, but you'll have a blast. Just make sure to bring some virtual Band-Aids.

An empty experience.

A huge waste of time. Skip it and download something better, like Zombieville USA.

Pick it up because you want to spin yourself around the living room hunting for ships, or can deal with the submarine style controls. Accept the game for what it is, and you'll enjoy what it has to offer.

This game's short on variety but entertaining in short bursts.

Taken for what it is, Nightclub Story is a decent title for little kids, despite the subject matter (mixed drinks in a club hardly screams E for Everyone). Clearly, TeamLava needs to add a ton of additional content to beef up the game, or risk missing a huge opportunity to, as they say in dance clubs, make some noise.

Big Time Gangsta may be a bit culturally insensitive, but it's still a surprisingly addictive App full of blood, guns and drugs. You know, exactly the type of experience the iPhone and iPad were made for.

If you grew tired of this type of game, there's little about Samurai Warriors: Chronicles that'll pull you back into the series. At the same time, it's still an impressive and surprisingly enjoyable title that showcases the 3DS' graphical capabilities.

Made one hell of a debut, and the promise of free content will transform this already impressive shooter into one of the iPhone and iPad's premier Apps. Lock and load, hit the track and come out firing.

All this praise aside, the game's commentary comes up way short.

This wonderful game belongs in your collection, regardless of whether you're new to the franchise or an experienced player that needs a fighting fix on the go.

The absence of online multiplayer knocks Ridge Racer 3D down a peg, a ton of recycled content overshadows the new stuff and occasionally, the action slows down when too much happens on screen. Those nitpicky complaints aside, this is one of the best games the young 3DS has to offer.
