    9mm
    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.

    chronoSgear
    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.

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

    Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Conviction
    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.

    Tehra Dark Warrior
    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.

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

    Funkyball Worlds
    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.

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

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

    BioDefense: Zombie Outbreak
    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).

    NBA Elite 11
    Surprisingly one of the EA's best sports titles yet.

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

    B-Boy Beats
    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.

    HEAVY GUNNER 3D
    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.

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

    Superfall
    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.

    Zenonia 3: The Midgard Story
    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.

    1112 Episode 02
    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.

    RAGE
    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.

    Vampire Origins RELOADED
    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.

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

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

    Braveheart
    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.

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

    Fast & Furious Adrenaline
    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.

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

    BackStab
    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
    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.
