    Puzzle Agent 2 is an excellent title that draws its strength from its Professor Layton concept, as well as its wacky and humourous universe. Sadly, the lack of French localisation means this is intended primarily for English speakers.

    Not surprisingly, iBlast Moki buries the competition. Beautiful, simple and addictive, you can barely fault it. Whether you're a fan of puzzle games or not, iBlast Moki 2 is definitely a game that will have you hooked for a few hours.

    Tower Defense: Lost Earth is an exceptional game. Great production values, fun, lengthy, well-calibrated, great playability and fully localised in French, this is undoubtedly one of the best tower defense examples you'll find on the App Store.

    Bring Me Sandwiches is an original platformer with a very simple but polished gameplay.

    Piggy Aventure has a good production values, but with an sub-average and unchallenging level design, the game is finished in two hours and does not appeal for more.

    Without revolutionizing its genre, Corpse Granny is a good puzzle game, with cartoonish graphics and full of humor.

    With very little content, an unchallenging IA and a badly optimized graphic engine, the only positive aspect of FIFA 12 is the inclusion of the career mode.

    Despite some questionable gameplay choices and problems of handling on some levels, Crazy Escape is still a solid puzzle game in terms of gameplay and universe originality that will occupy fans of this genre for many hours with almost 100 levels.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    Role in the Hole is a good puzzle game that features seductive graphics and simple yet original gameplay. That said, its distinct lack of personality, inconsistent level design and control issues prevent it from being more.

    Offering a simple and original game mechanic, and underpinned by a quality production and lenghty lifespan, Where's the Water is a worthy challenger to the classics of the genre. If you like puzzle games, take the plunge.

    Monsters Ate My Condo is a game that's undeniably fun and entertaining, and one that further benefits from a high calibre production. However, its peculiar gameworld and the assault of flashy visual effects are likely to put off a few players. It's an experience worth trying.

    Shadowgun is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful games on the App Store, and without question the one that most fully exploits its graphical resources, yet the experience lacks depth, preventing the overall experience from being excellent. Nevertheless, it remains a great stress reliever and deserves attention, if only to savour its technical prowess.

    Squids emerges as a turn-based strategy game that delivers on many aspects, but it isn't flawless. The game is unquestionably a beautiful audio/visual experience, but sadly too short to allow it to be savoured as it ought to.

    Dark Meadow is an adventure game that delivers a brawny horror experience packed with exceptional graphics and atmosphere, but one that sins as a result of flawed pacing and redundant nature. It's therefore difficult to recommend it, particularly given its high price.

    Although not a bad game, To-Fu 2 suffers from 'limited sequel' syndrome. You can appreciate its production values and gameplay, but without much in the way of novelty or variety this is a game you'll eventually tire of.

    If you're looking for a platform game packed with personality and hooked on great ideas, give Cordy a try.

    Happy Hills is a good puzzle title that doesn't revolutionise its genre but will offer some pleasant hours of play to fans, provided they're not looking for too strong a challenge.

    Aside from an old-skool difficulty level that is exacerbated by touchscreen controls that are understandably less responsive than a keyboard or joystick, the iOS version of Another World is flawless. You'll find in it all of the quality of the original: exceptional atmosphere, surprisingly contemporary gameplay, and a successful platform/adventure mix.

    A game of two halves, both highly accomplished in terms of production and crammed full of content, but also tricky to experience on iPhone and offering very little in terms of gameplay variety. Fans of the first game will love this, but others may feel considerably different.

    Starfox 64 3DS is a space shooter that is both complex and accessible. The series' arrival on Nintendo's latest handheld is great news but the new visual elements and the double gameplay prove to be little more than small details in a remake that is short of big surprises.

    Contre Jour offers a unique gameworld alongside a particularly attractive atmosphere. Throw in an endearing character and proven play mechanics and you've got a serious competitor to Cut the Rope.

    Crammed with niggles, Majesty isn't the hit it could have been, but remains a solid strategy game thanks to an original concept that's particularly suited to the iPhone.

    Placing us this time in the shoes of a racing team manager, Kairsoft has succeeded in creating a good management game that follows in the steps of the developer's 'Story' series. Despite a pacing issue in the middle segment of the game, Grand Prix Story remains most enjoyable and captivating.

    • 65 Critic Score
    Nyx Quest isn't a bad game but its obvious flaws diminish the overall experience. Between an original yet poorly thought out gameplay, a distinct lack of variety, and limited content, we're forced to admit that the potential for fun is seriously undermined.

    Meet Gameloft's great mistake: here is a game of exceptional quality, one that is beautiful while offering enjoyment and longevity, spoilt by a unscrupulous policy of fleecing the player. The approach is all too evident: you'll need to continually go through the checkout if you want to get the most out of the game. In short, a hell of a mess that will hopefully dissuade Gameloft from repeating the experience.

    Save Yammi is a delightful surprise. Graphically too close to Cut the Rope yet nevertheless very accomplished and in possession of original gameplay, thereby distilling simple pleasures. The only criticism relates to its shortish lifespan and an accelerometer control method more suited to iPhone than iPad.

    The new Cut the Rope isn't the eagerly awaited incredible follow-up. Short and with few innovations, it's more a large update of the current version than a true sequel. That said, the game's charming protagonist, superb production values and highly addictive concept make this an excellent, must-buy title.

    Silent Ops is an action game that very much follows in the Gameloft mould, and therefore benefits from expected qualities but also suffers from flaws, namely AI problems and restrained playability, which aren't helped when combined with unspectacular visuals. At least the narrative remains engaging throughout, even if the game's characters lack charisma.

    9mm
    The latest Gameloft effort is only just acceptable. Although 9mm shoots straight with its multiplayer ability and interesting storyline, its other aspects are nowhere near as accurate. With limited graphics, playability issues and ridiculously short longevity, this game is a long way from being killer title material.

    Offering a variety of challenges, Hungribles is an accomplished puzzle game that further benefits from an original visual treatment.
