A fleeting pleasure, Panda Picnic shows freemium can sometimes mean forgettable.

A great Foosball game that anyone can play, with enough packed in that it'll keep you entertained for hours.

Compared to other better one-finger games, Tiny Whale! isn't worth the time.

A decent slice-'em-up with a ridiculous premise, Ninja vs. Vikings fails to offset its borrowing of ideas with some unique ones of its own.

While Idyllic isn't terrible, nor does it live up to its name or its intriguing premise.

While it can't pretend to be breaking entirely new ground, SteamBirds: Survival manages to refine the concept of the original and turn it into something even more tense, gripping and addictive.

A solid and good-looking puzzle game that was pipped to the post by its more characterful rival.

Starbase Orion is a nice ode to old skool RTSs, but provides little guidance for novices.

Flip Riders is a ferocious challenge, but rarely an enjoyable one.

Poor controls and curious track design stifle a compelling concept in this disappointing intergalactic racer.

A buggy puzzler conversion, which doesn't live up to the majesty of the Rubik family crest.

Cosmonauts takes the worn-out trajectory shooter genre and makes it feel fresh and new.

A solid but entirely unremarkable puzzle game that does little to differentiate itself from the crowd.

An endless-runner in the Jetpack Joyride mould, Sea Stars's gameplay is solid and slick, but its reliance on in-app purchase sits uncomfortably with the game as a whole.

SpyCorp looks and plays like a tweenie version of Metal Gear Solid, with vibrant production design and some brilliant gags. But the in-app purchase model is flawed and this detracts from the experience.

Only minor improvements, but if you missed Age of Zombies the first time, this update is great fun in small doses.

Nutty Sam is a decent three-star puzzler that's not nearly as charming as it seems to think it is.

Excellent gameplay and precise controls impress, but a skewed overarching structure means that Splishi Splashi is best enjoyed in small doses.

A blend of arcade racing and sales negotiations, Shine Runner is an original experience.

Prope's fast running action puzzler gets a lot right, however squiffy controls put a real dampener on the otherwise impressive porky proceedings.

It's a largely ambitious game, but Osiris is let down by its mindless combat, dull plot, appalling controls and spate of glitches. It's not worth the premium price tag by a long shot.

Green Farm 2 doesn't reinvent the wheel, but balanced in-app purchases and colourful graphics make it worth your while.

Mired in mediocrity, Boom Bugs fails to excite.

As tough as it is fun, and with a brilliant soundtrack, CheeseMan is a fine slice of iOS platforming at its best.

While episode two has some better puzzles than before, Jurassic Park is still a barely-interactive rollercoaster ride that's more about watching pretty cutscenes than actually playing a game. With its premium price tag, it's very tough to recommend it.

A poor-quality port of a game that has aged terribly.

Despite being comprehensive in terms of content, Chuck's Challenge is too dated to really stand out.

Wonky mechanics and no multiplayer support at launch mean that this boardgame may end up gathering dust in the cupboard until an update is deployed.
