    If the last Build-a-lot 3 was feeling a little tired, then Build-a-lot 4 - arriving only a month later - risks popping its own property bubble.

    Blosics physics-based puzzles seem like mindless experiments rather than stages with set goals.

    Shame about the loss of multiplayer, but for solo gamers Rocket Riot is a real blast - in bite-sized portions, at least.

    Rope Rescue HD is an average Angry Birds-style game with few new wrinkles.

    Stand O'Food 3 HD is an interesting, funny take on running a fast food joints.
    • 84 Metascore

    A dull introduction and occasional unfair difficulty spikes aren't enough to run The War of Eustrath HD, particularly in light of its interesting battle mechanics.

    With challenges layered for longevity, The Tiny Bang Story HD is sadly undermined by an unwillingness to keep its players on the same page, with its hidden object hunt only coming together in fits and starts.

    Wimp is a charming, colourful platformer with inventive levels and great physics-led puzzles. It controls well and is bursting at the seams with content. An easy recommendation.

    Cult of the Lamb is a fantastic cult simulator with a lot of management and action elements to it. The port to mobile feels smooth and polished, bringing a lot of fun to this pocket-sized cult.

    A hauntingly good extension of the original, Angry Birds Halloween delivers more of the same entertaining physics puzzle play.

    Oozing charm and smart design, World of Goo is the best physics puzzler available on iPad.
    • 79 Metascore

    A brilliant touchscreen-focused brawler, Street Fighter X Tekken Mobile is a worthy addition to the fighting genre.

    A deep and far more complex city builder than the norm on the platform, Westward 2's horrible controls mean few will survive the voyage.

    Airport City HD is a freemium management game that offers a decent amount of initial fun for your in-app purchases, but a few bottlenecks and imbalances hold up the traffic somewhat.
    • 72 Metascore

    Mixing line-drawing with tower defence, A.I.R Defense is an interesting, if unbalanced experiement.

    As brash and carefree as some of its protagonists, The World Ends with You: Solo Remix doesn't make a seamless translation to iOS, but it's worth the entry price all the same.

    Buggy and unresponsive, NBA 2K12 isn't worth the money.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The harsh AI difficulty will diminish its appeal, but 7th Guest: Infection remains a well-presented and interesting boardgame.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A competent but ridiculously overpriced JRPG with too many old ideas and not enough substance or excitement.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A missed opportunity to give us something new, Doodle Jump for iPad remains as mercilessly addictive as it ever was.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Very similar to the first Chaos Rings game in both design and gameplay, Omega comes across more as an expansion pack than a full-blown sequel.

    MySims is a quest-based adventure all about building furniture and making a town much better in ranking! It's got some issues with not auto-saving, but otherwise, it's fun if you like building furniture and watching a town grow.

    TOEM: A Photo Adventure is a cosy and fun puzzle adventure with so many perfect moments. I absolutely loved my time playing it, and I feel it is perfect for your mobile phone.

    Chants of Sennaar is a thoroughly charming adventure game in which you must decipher glyphs and solve puzzles to reunite the various peoples of the tower.

    Spooky Express is a very well-designed puzzler that's perfect for Halloween. It's got fun and challenging puzzles, great music, and even comic book elements to add a bit of story.

    Pine Hearts has a good story, fun quests and lots of funny characters. It feels long and vast on mobile - creating something that's well worth sinking your time into.

    I came into Blue Protocol: Star Resonance thinking I wouldn’t like it at all. I was expecting another bland gacha fest, but I was dead wrong. The combat is really fun, the characters are endearing, and I really enjoyed my time here. There are some things that could do with changing, in particular, the limited character slots and lack of class previews, but I genuinely can’t wait to be able to return when it officially releases.

    An exceptional port of one of my favourite games. However, there is a question of how this almost ten-year-old game could have been slightly better adapted to mobile for commuters and how it will develop from here.

    Is This Seat Taken? is a challenging puzzler in which you must seat a group of characters while paying attention to their preferences.

    The single-player portion of Bomberman is a lot of fun, with varied stages and plenty of fast, hectic action. Unfortunately, this version is devoid of any sort of online play. The end result is a mixed bag. [Summer 2004, p.15]
