Even with a few added features thrown into the mix, at its core Dawn Tanks is pretty much just another 'artillery' game.

Math Academy looks the part, but is deceptively boring, and dumb to boot.

Paper Toss with an oddly shaped ball, Rugby Kicks is simple fun for the first ten minutes, and simply dull thereafter.

Devouring Stars' main crime is that it's boring, and that's unforgivable on the App Store.

Servicable, if typical, strategy mechanics are ruined by an aggressive free to play model and terrible presentation, although pass and play is worth a brief try.

Mixing cute with boring, Tamagotchi Connection Corner Shop quickly becomes so routine you should be paid £5 an hour to play it.

Micetopia plays like a game where the odds are unfairly stacked against you. It doesn't feel like you are a hero who is meant to be saving these villagers or even has a chance to really make it far without spending tons of time grinding and upgrading. Even then, some areas have checkpoints that are too spread out to feel fair.

Despite a wave of innovations manages to be less enjoyable than the near decade old GBC version. Less of the Wacky and more of the wack.

A shallow and unconvincing portrayal of a virtual life, Hatch has about half an hour of content, but days and days of repetitive and unrewarding chores.

A boring, tired rehash of a much better game, Grindcore isn't worth your time.

More roll-playing than role-playing, this game promises much and delivers little more than a quick RPG combat fix.

A nicely executed comic book stapled to a sub-standard action-platformer, Bravoman: Binja Bash has its priorities all wrong.

Overall, Sheep Squad isn’t a game for me. It’s possible but those that play a lot of the game Worm might really enjoy it - especially with the adorable range of animals to play with and their cool weapons, however the UI being the way it is makes the game just too challenging and hard to understand for me. Also there are a lot of pop-ups.

A disappointingly half-baked piece of video game entertainment that should be returned to the chef immediately.

A boring endless runner. Its biggest crime is that we've seen it all before.

It's too short, feels tired and repetitive – not unlike war, Fighter's Battle seems mostly futile.

With wonky controls and lacking even the most basic of features, Warm Gun is a multiplayer-only FPS that should be left alone.

Quantity over quality, this suite of gambling games fails to capture the thrill of throwing all your money away on the single spin of a wheel.

A throwback of the worst kind. Post Brutal is clunky, stupid, and only fun to laugh at.

At best, it's a bland, repetitive Silent Hill-skinned dungeon-crawling grind. At worst, it's a vacuous vandalism of a treasured horror brand.

A potentially interesting shooter that's let down catastrophically by its underwhelming controls.

A colourful but uninspiring little collection of mini-games, twinned with obnoxious ads and irritating game selection limitations.

Dungeon of Genesis is a dungeon crawler with some potential, but potential is all it has.

Panic Drop is the video game equivalent of having an endless stream of knock off Escher paintings slammed repeatedly into your face.

The attempt to make Line Rider into a DS game fails thanks to fiddly controls and the fact it's not as fun or convenient as the web version.

WRC 3 is roughly thrown together, and lacks any of the basic requirements of fun.

Fumes Stunt Racer pays tribute to a gaming classic, yet fails to recapture the original's magic through a combination of poor handling, harsh linear progression, and glaring omissions.

The building blocks of solid strategy are in place, but Battlefield Moon drops the ball when it comes to presentation and gameplay; the fact that it seems to run at a snail's pace doesn't help matters much, either.
