Less brilliant than last year's edition in many ways, Pro Evolution Soccer 2011 stands in any case as a great soccer game, especially considering the device it runs on. Konami's developers did an excellent job optimizing the touch controls as they react promptly to our inputs. Despite some AI limits, the overall experience is really awesome and every PES fan out there shouldn't miss it.

Cubed Rally Racer looks like an experiment for testing Unity3d rather than a finished and polished game. The colourful graphics, the retro style feeling and the randomness of the tracks are totally ruined by the awful and frustrating control schemes. The OpenFeint integration is fine but we miss the lack of a real multiplayer mode.

We rule is the first attempt to bring the social game in Farmville-style on the iPhone. Free but not fully successful, it remains an interesting experiment.

Stylish, fun and very rich in content. The combat system works well enough, and the special abilities allow us to add some variety to our offensive. Once we reach a certain level, things begin to be confusing due to the large number of enemies, and the controls don't always react as we could expect. However, this is an excellent game for its price and should not be missed.

A Helicopter game for iPhone with the GTA's gameplay. The game is quite funny but unfortunately the controls are not very good.

Comes with nice graphics, fresh visuals and an immediate gameplay, enriched by an intuitive and simple control system. Maybe too simple: you can shot your enemies just by "touching" them, while the one-on-one fights work like a sort of quick time events sequence. A good action game, overall, but surely not the best one.

A French Ninja is an new character for a videogame, but Join Francois is really something special for this crazy game, with his incredible jump ability and his funny animations. To be rescued by the helicopter, he has to jump thru the roofs, escape from enemies and also from a lot of different obstacles. Urban Ninja is a really fun game, and the low price it's another reason to buy it.

Truckers Delight was originally an irreverent, funny and politically scorrect clip directed by Jérémie Périn; however, the game dedicated loses the best ideas and reduces the originally concept to an anonymous arcade race game.

No doubt an original and intertaining puzzle game, with a total of 150 levels and a good balance. The strenght of this game is the continuous introduction of new elements that involve timing and colors, while its weakness is the inaccurate control system.

Touch Racing Nitro is an arcade game that could be a good alternative of a traditional racing game, but the pretty and colored graphics can't hide the problematic control scheme and the gameplay incoherencies. It's not possible to play quick race, only tournament or time trial: this limitation is not acceptable for an iPhone game.

Splinter Cell Conviction might have been the best action experience on iPhone and iPod Touch, but unfortunately it's just a good game. It tries to reply all the ideas of the PC and console version, but it does it badly. The game saves itself thanks to its stunning graphics, wide-ranging environments and many levels, as well as its very rewarding stealth moments.

A superb sequel to one of the best games on the iphone, Super QuickHook is a fantastic experience with some great art style.

Thanks to its near-perfect control system, the sharp humour and the complete sense of power, Super Mega Worm can amuse more than any game in the Rampage series. The player jumps and dives into the ground, makes some spins and bounces again while biting a chopper. Hopefully, the next updates will bring unlockable achievements, fresh gameplay modes and new levels.

Imperial Academy is a good online First Person Shooter, with just one big problem: the controls. Movements are very difficult, and there isn't a dedicated fire button; however, it's free (but full of ads), with no lag also in 3G, so for FPS lovers download is recommended.

The Battle for Hoth is certainly one of the best Star Wars games on the App Store. However, with poor graphics and the unjustified absence of John Williams' traditional scores, THQ Wireless has failed again in the attempt to offer a great Star Wars experience to iPhone users.

Despite its great graphics and sounds, Star Battalion suffers from some annoying problems: the game is heavily scripted, the fights are a bit repetitive and there's a general lack of attention to detail.

With its psychedelic vector-like graphics, Spirit can easily be confused as a Geometry Wars clone. Instead, the game is an original and satisfying arena shooter: creating portals is a great and amusing option, but while proceeding through the levels, the player will probably realize that it doesn't suits good on the iPhone.

Though the controls are a little hard to get used to, Space Miner: Space Ore Bust delivers an awesome gameplay, lots of missions and upgrades, all held together by a funny plot. A very nice experience.

Even if the game boasts a 4 in its title, SEGA and Dimps have chosen the easiest path taking the levels from the original Sonic The Hedgehog and adding almost nothing to its formula. Moreover, Sonic 4 suffers from a surprising lack of style and personality, a dull soundtrack and some technical issues, while the frame rate slows down even on an iPhone 4. Hopefully, the lack of Retina Display support, achievements and leaderboards will be fixed with the next update of the game.

Solomon's Keep is an action RPG based on randomness: random dungeons, random skill levels and random enemies. The result is a nice game, but the level design is unfortunately repetitive. Considering the budget price, for action-RPG lovers it can be a good buy.

SEED 2 - Vortex of War delivers some classic RPG action on iPhone. One the one hand,, real time fights are nicely done and your character levels up in different ways according to the weapon you use. On the other hand, the plot is nothing but original, the adjustable game speed works awfully and the graphics come with too much blur. RPG fans should give it a try, while others can avoid it.

A funny and quick but not too simplicistic game that captures perfectly the spirit of mobile gaming.

Monster Trucks Nitro 2 delivers some good arcade action, intuitive controls and twenty races to complete as fast as you can against a ghost car. The only problem is you'll be probably able to complete all the stages in a few minutes. Anyway, give it a try.

While the iPad version of Master of Alchemy came as an awesome "physical" puzzle game, on iPhone and iPod Touch it has to deal with some practical limitations (screen size) that make the gameplay less immediate but certainly not less fascinating.

Maybe it's for the dilated plot or maybe for the lack of great turns of events in the first hours, but The Last King of Africa doesn't look suitable for being splitted into small episodes. It's an extremely linear and really short game, that greatly disfigures near other point-and-click adventures on the App Store, like Monkey Island 2: Special Edition and Hector: Badge of Carnage.

Knight's Rush is one of the best hack'n slash games on the App Store, with some impressive graphics and a simply but addictive gameplay.

KingdomConquest is a mix up between a MMORPG and an on line RTS, and the result is very interesting. You can fight in a well done 3D co-op mode, conquer one of the 7 towers, or create and keep your Kingdom, and finally invade with your monster army the neighboring areas. The game it's free, with optional micro-transactions, but if you're a fan of MMORPG, it could be a good choice.

Hooga is a classic platformer, solid and fun, with some nice graphics, many different enemies to fight and a large number of levels. What a shame the touch controls don't react promptly, making the whole experience really frustrating.
