Once you strip down the game to its bare core and reveal it in its true form, you get a relatively smooth online FPS with one gameplay mode. Poor animations add to the list along with the fact that replay value is limited, making for quite mediocre online play.

Speed Forge Extreme did a great job with executing with the controls, and the tilt was flawless along with the inclusion of touch controls; another yet flawless implementation.

It feels almost the same as last years. But hey, if you're a diehard football fan like me, there's no way you're not picking this up.

Blending narrative, mission objectives, frenetic combat and in-depth character development into a complete package, 2360: Battle for Cydonia is February's first Must-Have title.

It's almost as good looking as Flight Control, if not better, and the design was a major point in this hidden line-drawing game.

Kami Retro deserves the critical praise it's been getting. It blends some quite familiar styles of gameplay into a distinctive little treat of a game, that's great for short sessions.

Follows the footsteps of both Backbreaker Football and Backbreaker Football II with a fun and addictive gameplay, great animations, and great character models. The UI and other graphical elements do need some work, and the GameCenter needs a bit of fixing up to do.

The point and click adventures that have too much dialogue do not appeal much to me, as I like to play my games and not read them; but I really did enjoy the story of Scarlett.

I love Pulse: Volume One for one reason, and that's because it's unique.

Flick Golf is another one of those games that you simply can't go wrong with, unless you hate golf games for some reason.

It's the closest thing to Mario Kart I've seen so far.

Assault Squadron is a fantastic game. While I personally prefer twitchier controls, most players will not find them to be an issue so this concern really should be considered more of a personal preference.

Competing against people online is quite exhilarating, and achieving 1st place is always a good feeling.

Soccer Superstars is a fun, fun game that I enjoy. They got that part of the game down, but once it comes to the technical stuff, the game seems to fall apart.

But once you start to get frustrated, thwarted, and far into the career mode, your appeal to the game just doesn't last. It's a game with potential, but it needs some substantial updates to reach it.

While there is some lack of replay value, the overall game was very much worth that $1.99, a price not too far away from the minimal $0.99 price tag.

But I must give credit where credit is due: if you're dying for another racer, GT Racing is solid.

Overall, Cubed Rally Racer is just an okay game; casual gamers may find it a bit frustrating and ultimately quit for some other game.

It's a great concept hindered by the lack of content and high price.

I'm totally bewildered as to why they didn't include online multiplayer, why they didn't add some more control options, and why they decided to take customization out.

I have to say this is one of the best games I have played in some time. I have no problem recommending this to everyone, whatever device you own!

Traffic dodge games usually feel pretty generic as the majority do nothing to innovate or enhance the genre in any way. Fortunately, there are a few gems out there like Hit N'Run that take a chance and do something a little different.

Overall, despite some minor gripes that can be fixed with updates such as deathmatch multiplayer, or lock-on controls, Star Batallion is a great flight-sim package that is very arcade-like in execution at times, but offers solid twitch-gameplay and challenge, with great presentation and graphics.

Highborn is a really strong game and I highly recommend you give it a shot, even if your not a fan of turn based strategy games, or you're tired of them. This is fresh, new, and seriously…how expensive is it really?

The game is short on lasting appeal, and leans too heavily on MiniGore, but is nonetheless worth a look. A dual-stick stick shooter for casual gamers, Guerilla Bob is best taken in short spurts over time. Hardcore players tending to devour games in one or two sittings will quickly tear through the game and leave it in their dust.

The Blocks Cometh is an easy recommendation, both to new players as well as to those who previously bought the knock-off. The game is attractive, challenging and rewarding, and nails that just-one-more-time addictiveness factor that makes games easy to pick up and hard to put down.

Though I suspect once you get involved with Ash, you won't be able to put it down until you see what happens next.

I wasn't exactly pleased with the generic material of the game, but it's an overall, well-done game.

A bloody good time. The repetition and lack of social gaming support drag it down as a whole, but there's no denying the fun to be had with this game.

Carnivores Ice Age does nothing to improve upon its previous; all it does is provide hunters with an entirely new theme.

Despite some shortcomings, Chop Chop Ninja is overall a fun game, a welcome entry to the App Store's mostly underwhelming line-up of ninja titles, and likely to be the last sleeper hit of 2009.

PES 2010 is, at best, a good soccer game. There are a lot of feature and content problems that I know could have been nonexistent had Konami been more creative.

Fruit Ninja is the perfect casual game that I thoroughly enjoyed. While there are minor problems I stated above, it's an overall solid appearance on the App Store and one that casual gamers shouldn't miss.

Heavy Mach 2 offers a semi-casual mech-combat game with lite RPG elements, somewhat imperfect and lacking in depth, but overall a brilliant game that's easy to recommend. With standout controls, excellent visuals and nonstop action, Heavy Mach 2 should not be missed by mech fans or action gamers.

While the definitive versions of Final Fantasy II and II are still the versions available for PSP, these ports are decent enough to suffice if you don't have one.

All wishing aside, however, Crystal War is a beautiful, highly entertaining castle-vs-castle game, and one that I heartily recommend.

Ultimately, Super Mega Worm is an enjoyable experience after the initial accommodation-period for the controls. While the upgrades provide incentive for replayability, the rather one-dimensional nature of the game keeps it at a "worth a look" recommendation. And remember to recycle kids. The Wyrm is watching you.

It features just enough challenge that will have you clamoring for more. The combination of strategy, challenge, and fun make this game an instant hit, one that will surely be added to that "what game should I get" list.

And while Battle of Puppets has some positives, it's mostly draped in shallow gameplay.

Provides an engaging and entertaining experience for fans of the collectible card-game genre.

Xenome is, in one word, raw. It's very raw, but it has so much potential that I actually cannot wait for it to finally blossom.

Can Knockdown 2 does everything a casual game should do: universal, GameCenter achievements, great graphics, and a simple gameplay mechanic. But, it does get old quickly, and there are only 12 achievements for you to work with.

The perfect pick up and play sports game that focuses on the fun aspects of the game without being too technical.

Chop Chop Caveman may be the best prehistoric platformer since Bonk's Adventure, and the best Chop Chop game yet.

Deep Deep Dungeon is solid and succinct, a tightly wound and complete casual RPG game. But when I want to play a game of this sort I am far more likely to reach either for Sword & Poker or its sequel than I am for this.

The game does offer a ton of content, even if much of it on first glance appears repetitive. Tactile Entertainment just might have created your new constant companion.

There's really not many variations in the game. With only one map, there's definitely room for improvement.

Robot Unicorn Attack is a highly-addictive game that could have been better with the implementation of online leaderboards and some sort of competition.

While the definitive versions of Final Fantasy II and II are still the versions available for PSP, these ports are decent enough to suffice if you don't have one.

9mm includes some improved voice-acting, great online multiplayer, an interesting storyline, and an overall action-packed adventure that is sure to entice third-person shooter fans. Just note that the game isn't for everyone, and I personally thought the amount of language in this game was really unnecessary.

Seamlessly combining a strategic RPG, a puzzle and a turn based strategy game into one was not an easy task, but Axion Logic appears to have done just that with chronoSgear.

Although there are no surprises for those familiar with this type of game, The Settlers does deliver where it is expected.

While it does feel Gameloft took a small leap backwards in terms of technological achievement, Splinter Cell Conviction is still a solid game that is enough to have some hours of fun.

If you've got an itch for beating monsters senseless, then I can't think of anyone better to scratch it than Tehra. In fact, she can scratch me anytime she likes.

Clearly lacking in innovation, and personally, I'm having trouble playing the game for long periods of time. With a lack of story, lack of creativity, and an overall lack of fun, I say avoid this worm-hole of a mess until further notice.

Shadowgun is a bit more than a tech demo, but it's a lot less than an actual game.

It's cheap, filled with content, and looks really nice. Along with that, it comes packaged with 33 OpenFeint achievements, a lot more than the usual game.

After a few hours, I can only describe the experience as boring and repetitive.

Eco Punk is a very charming and light-hearted game that is great fun and hard to put down.

BioDefense is fun your first time through, but after that, it's hard to get back into the game again. It's definitely repetitive, as there isn't much variety within the missions, and there doesn't seem to be any unlockable items (except for the achievements, of course).

Surprisingly one of the EA's best sports titles yet.

Ultimately, Eternal Legacy by Gameloft is one of the most graphically pleasing RPG's on the appstore at the moment. It is a well made J-RPG that boasts umpteen hours of gameplay between the main quest and the side quests, even if those side quests are hard to find.

Corporate Fury is a fun take on the brawling formula with a very silly and crude premise.

The developers should find the time to fiddle around with the difficulty, as that's the part that's holding this game back. Everything else, though, was definitely impressive.

On the surface, Heavy Gunner appears to be a shallow shooter, with the dual-thumb cannons only a gimmick. Taking the plunge beyond that surface, however, reveals the game to be quite deep, full of choices and with great replay value.

The addition of a real story laid out in comic book styling really adds to the experience.

The repetitiveness usually comes as a side effect of a casual game that went slightly askew, and it seems to be that way with Superfall. I'm not saying that Superfall is a bad game; it's just not a great game.

It is ABSURD that a game costing $4.99 should be so bogged down by in-app purchase, and all but require you to spend yet more of your money on expendible items.

Hardcore point and click adventure lovers will love this game, but with some of the difficulties in the touch controls and inability to backtrack to gather missed items, new point and click adventurers should not choose this as their first attempt at the genre.

Right now, I'm just much too tired to explain ALL of Rage's faults. There's such a long laundry list, but basically it's that it doesn't have a story and it's short.

Fun while it lasts. The controls need a lot of tweaking, and the swiping needs a ton of work in terms of sensitivity. I had high hopes for this game, and while it still contains an interesting storyline, the fundamentals need some tweaking.

I liked the first one and was looking for some improvement in terms of replay value, but I didn't exactly get it.

While I usually shy away from social games, especially those Facebook-driven, Buddy Rush is undeniably fun.

Hardcore RPG fans may find Braveheart's level layout and arcade nature too simplified-as the App Store's RPG offerings can get quite deep these days-there is still a lot of customization and depth offered here and the combat is intriguing.

No real mind-benders here; just a lot of pushing stones, stepping on pressure plates and the like.

Fast and Furious Adrenaline is a competent racing game; it'll provide you with a few hours of high-speed thrills along with some sweet cars. There are some issues with it including the need to connect to Facebook to access the online multiplayer, but all in all, I thought it was a good racer.

In summary, if you want a dual-stick shooter, you can do a lot better than Pirate's Treasure.

All of it is intriguing, interesting, and enjoyable; there's nothing like it on the App Store. It is a little repetitive though, and the graphics and animations really keep it back from being named one of the best on the App Store.

Gravity Hook HD is a no go for me. I love casual games-Flight Control, Infect them All, Fruit Ninja-but Gravity Hook HD is way too difficult, repetitive, and frustrating to actually get the hang of.

Robot Rampage looks good, sounds good, but plays mediocre.

If you just can't live without some sort of sci-fi themed dual-stick shooter where you kill robots and there are different maps, it might be just the thing for you. But for my money, there are more exciting experiences available in this genre on the iOS platform.

For right now, it's nothing more than a bad first-person shooter.

Dungeon Defenders has potential, and it's a really fun game; there's absolutely no doubt about that. But I would love to see an improved interface and controls-mind you, they're not bad, but not good either-along with some better graphics.

XS Games failed to realize the demographics of the App Store and failed to edit their game accordingly, making for one of the most difficult, frustrating, and annoying games I have ever played.

Both the worst LotR game and one of the worst tower defense games I have ever played.

Bottom-line, Children of Carnia is an enjoyable role-playing game, though it becomes occasionally tedious with its fetch quests and grinding.

A lengthy experience at a reasonable price.

Twin Blades: The Reaping Vanguard is a great button-masher, and one of the prettiest games in the app store.

NFL Flick Quarterback is a fun arcade game, but I wish there was more. Right now, it's just an overpriced arcade game that doesn't exactly live up to its potential.

Not only does the game take forever to get started, but you'll swear it's loading even as you play. Even with the speed cranked up, the game just feels sluggish.

The game does a wonderful job of rewarding progress without sacrificing accessibility, challenges the player without resorting to cheap tactics or the whimsy of chance, and contains enough content to keep even the most avid puzzlers busy for some time to come.

Homerun Battle 2, as you can see, makes me quite furious. And disappointed. And shocked.

For those looking for some action won't find it here; you're better off in space with Gameloft's NOVA or fighting Italian soldiers in Assassin's Creed II.

I enjoyed Super Turbo Action Pig; I love the name, game, and artwork. Gameplay is a bit unoriginal, but The Joystick Generals did a solid job of reinventing gameplay that hasn't exactly done well on the iPhone.

Somewhat bipolar: the boss encounters are well realized and refreshing, while the level-design only average at best.

Vanquish: The Oath of Brothers is a hack-and-slash button-masher with an excellent story, good controls, and striking visuals. I really liked it, but I do wish it had a touch more depth via customization so there was a reason to replay it beyond seeing if I could rack up 4,000 kills instead of just 3,500.

As a dual-stick shooter, Catacombs fails because it's not frantic enough. As an action game, it fails because the combat isn't very interesting. As an RPG, it fails because it's not deep enough. As an adventure and a game of exploration, it fails because there's no incentive to progress and nothing new to discover as you go.

Overall, it's not that fun and way too repetitive, and while it's quite frantic, it doesn't save Zombie Wonderland from being titled as one of the most repetitive games on the App Store… in a bad way.
