    Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter is the premier hunting experience on the iPhone, and it's just the perfect game for a wide variety of people.

    At first glance it looks like just another copycat, but dig a little deeper and you will find a complex game with much to offer.

    As match-3 games go, Puzzle Quest 2 is king of the hill.

    Minor shortcomings aside, Who's That Flying?! is a wonderfully fun game and an easy recommendation. I've been having a blast with it!

    Some may complain that the price is too high and others may say that it's just too simple. What I say is that it's just good, clean fun.

    While Raging Thunder 2 has its flaws, it's still one of the best arcade racers on the iPhone.

    While the accelerometer is quite fluid, many of the games key controls are hard to access.

    If you have any interest at all in the survival horror or zombie genres, you need Aftermath.

    This game just has an unexplicable charm to it that makes me come back to it again and again.

    Fastar! is not what most would expect of an Action RPG, nor is it what most would expect from Kooistra having played his previous app store releases - admittedly, the game left me scratching my head at first and it took me several plays to warm to it. Set aside such expectations, however, and Fastar reveals itself to be an excellent casual action game, well worth the paltry price of admission.

    It blindsided me from left field, and I'm still in a daze. And now I am going to make a very bold statement, one that will surely incite controversy: It is my considered opinion that Queen's Crown is the best Korean RPG in the App Store.

    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.
