I hate sloppy. I hate mediocre. Therefore, I hate Maple Story: Thief Edition.

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.

The Incident is unquestionably worthy of purchase and deserves not to be buried in the pile.

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.

A lengthy experience at a reasonable price.

Brothers in Arms 2 is a step back from NOVA, that's basically all I have to say.

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).

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

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

If you're a fan of the dual-stick shooter or of zombie games in general, Alive 4-ever RETURNS should be at the top of your shopping list.

Overall, Airstrike Defense is a solid line drawing game which will have you wanting to play one more round; complete one more mission.

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

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

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

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 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.

While the lack of music definitely does nothing to enhance the game, there is already so much high quality content that Dinosaur Slayer is without a doubt a must have for its magnificent art style and surprisingly deep and enjoyable combat system.

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.

Dark Void Zero is a love-letter to old-school NES gamers, and being conscious of their target audience, Capcom delivers in a major way.

Cut the Rope is appealing in price, aesthetics, and gameplay. What more could you ask for? If you haven't picked up this title yet, I suggest you to hop yourself over to the App Store and pick it up.

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

Cocoto Magic Circus looks good but plays horribly.

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.

With the care and consideration that this game obviously had during development, it is for sure a must buy that shows off the capabilities of the platform.

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

As a sequel, Blue Defense: Second Wave captures everything that was great about the first game, refines it, builds upon it, ups the ante manifold.

A bloody good game and deserves your attention.

No worries about losing pieces or counting up blocks as the computer does it all for you now even. I can practice new strategies, pick up hints from watching the computer play, all useful for real life games.
