A not particularly impressive experiment in cross-platform storytelling, Electric City The Revolt has its moments, but they're too few and far between.

While its single-player campaign leaves a lot to be desired, Mad Cows makes up for it with an excellent multiplayer offering.

Strategic, deep, and full of content, Great Big War Game carries on nicely where its predecessor left off.

It hovers, but never soars. For its price, Ballooned! is a good diversion for a few minutes.

Dark Knight is a pale imitation of the Arkham games, with boring combat, cheap presentation, and dull missions. It works, but it never thrills.

Spirit Camera is a nice concept but one that's a little too demanding to be easily enjoyed. It's full of neat spooks and tricks but there are far cheaper and better ways of getting your freak on.

The same old Tap Tap beat-matching gameplay we love, applied to an oddly restrictive structure we don't.

Jeff Minter updates one of his favourite shooters and the result is a feast for both the eyes and the fingers. Regardless of whether or not you have an appreciation for vintage shooters, you should give this wacky wonder a spin as soon as it's convenient.

Zombie Slayer Diox digs its own grave, with poor controls and a serious lack of enjoyable content.

Fieldrunners 2 is another top-notch tower defence game. A wonky difficulty and overlong battles dampens the fun, but this is well presented and full of content.

Clever, experimental, and a little bit special, The Big Big Castle! tempers its frustration with bouts of crashing masonry and moments of joy as your teetering creation stands up for long enough to finish a level.

An über-casual time-waster which - like a knight tethered to a peg - ultimately fails to go anywhere, no matter how hard it tries.

A fun, if simple, async RPG experience that makes you glad to have friends.

An undeniably good-looking and kid-friendly flight game, Crash Birds Islands stalls thanks to a miserly in-app payment system.

While the mini-games in the package really sparkle, Moops is let down by some below par three dimensional adventuring sections.

While it has occasional moments of excitement, SoulCraft is another freemium dungeon-crawler in an increasingly long line that get their balancing all wrong.

It's not the most original title you'll play all year, but it's well-made enough to constitute a decent but forgettable superhero movie tie-in.

An intense blast of hardcore shoot 'em up action packed full of delightful touches. The only problem with Metal Slug 3 on iOS is that it obviously wasn't designed with touch controls in mind.

An accessible and fun racing game that places you in the driver's seat as you build, customize, and race cars on the streets.

Tied down by its rigid adherence to the endless-running formula, TheEndApp isn't a bad example of the genre, but it's one you've played before.

While it was always going to get squashed under the weight of post-Angry Birds expectation, Amazing Alex does a decent job. It might not be Rovio's finest work, but it shows there's life in the company outside of pigs and disgruntled birds.

A fresh and well considered space-bound strategy experience like no other, Strikefleet Omega even manages to escape the IAP asteroid field relatively unscathed.

Boom Brigade 2 is a solid improvement over the original, with just enough tactical scope and level variety to keep you blasting.

If you've ever enjoyed the compositions found in the Final Fantasy series, then Theatrhythm is for you, as it's a decent music-based game with loads of extras for FF buffs to discover.

A solidly produced K-RPG that delivers an entertaining, if ultimately over-familiar, action-heavy adventure.

A great little strategy title that lets you test your mettle against players from around the globe and friends alike, Outwitters is entertaining and deep enough to have you coming back for more.

A clever little word game, Lumicon could do with a few more features, but it's still an entertaining way to tax your brain.

A tense and surprisingly strategic stealth puzzler that's only let down by awkward controls.
