    As it stands, there's no attention paid to its replayability aspects and too little to the types of environment its players might actually be trying to enjoy the game in. Based on that, I'd recommend giving it a pass or, at the most, checking out the ad-supported free version and see if it's your cup of tea.

    This is an excellent, compelling game, with interesting visual design, a great mood, a subtle but effective story, and awesome level designs that constantly offer new challenges.

    Cling Thing is a great experience for a buck. From its vibrant graphics to its pleasant music to its perfect controls to its increasingly challenging puzzles, Cling Thing offers the kind of experience that makes gaming on iOS a joy.

    Block Block Block makes the best of its ruleset, and rarely wastes a step.

    If you're a gamer prepared to put in the hours and have already checked out Retro Racing, GP Retro could well be your next pit stop. If you're simply after something you can pick up and play without having to engage in lengthy practicing of your fine motor skills , best steer clear, or at least pick up the free version to test the waters.

    So there you have it. Impossible Road is an impossibly hard, impossibly addictive and impossibly impossible game.

    Although it's clear a lot of thought was put into it, TITAN - Escape the Tower ends up being considerably more bitter than sweet, particularly for fans of the original.

    As a result of the overall high difficulty, the games meager eighteen stages don't go by quite as fast as you think they might.

    It has minor mechanical flaws, such as not always calculating success accurately and handling a bit more smoothly on the iPad compared with the iPhone, but overall I found Perfection to be a refreshing, worthwhile experience.

    Home is a good game: thought-provoking, unsettling, and original.

    If you're looking for a game long on play, this might not be for you. For fans of game books, though, this one is a no-brainer.

    It's beautifully suited to mobile, however, with customizable controls (swipe or tap) and perfectly bite-sized play sessions.

    Star Thief feels like one heck of a demo. I'm looking forward to playing the whole game.

    Agricola is a superlative port of an equally exceptional game. Just don't mistake the cute styling for simple mechanics. Even in "family mode", Agricola is both challenging and competitive.

    The game's narrative does a great job wrapping all of Spiral's components together in a story that's not only compelling but also just interesting. If any of this sounds remotely up your alley, you need to check out Spiral Episode 1.

    Hero of Many is meditative and unique. An enthralling experience that is, rather than acting as a fun distraction, a game you can lose yourself and invest in. An artistic achievement some may find lacking in gameplay, but I truly wish the App Store held more titles like this.

    You probably already have at least one falling block puzzle game on your device, but you may want to make room for one more.

    Ultimately, Runaway: A Road Adventure is a beautiful looking, average sounding, and at times, many times, frustrating experience. It's a worthy addition to the collection if you're into the old 'point and click' and it certainly isn't bad… just keep in mind that it has a lot of flaws, some to do with the original design, some to do with the transition to mobile devices.

    As a tower defense game, Siegecraft TD does a good job with its established gameplay and decent visuals engine. Toss in its great multiplayer system and it becomes a game that really stands out.

    Still, for my liking, an artistic attempt in video games is often worthy of its frustrations; especially if iOS is the only platform you have to experience it.

    Assuming you don't mind a game that, while presenting itself well doesn't offer much in terms of innovation, you can do a lot worse than checking out 10tons latest title. Just make sure that your expectations are tempered ahead of time.

    It's pleasant but shallow. That said, I recommend Color Zen unequivocally, and I'd easily plop down more money for even more content, especially if it gets more difficult.

    PYXL is really fun, and if you liked Super Hexagon and want to check out something similar (if not as stylish), you should give it a look.

    Then there’s Kemco, which has been releasing new titles on what feels like a monthly basis. Kemco is also aggressive about discounting its games at release and at frequent random times throughout the year. Some of their games are pretty good. Unfortunately, End of Aspiration isn’t one of them.

    Ultimately, Maximus is an action role-playing game with fantastic controls, vibrant visuals, epic movie-score sound, massive boss battles and my favorite - loving references to a load of pop-culture phenomena that I fondly remember from my days as a tyke, as well as most certainly quite a few that I missed.

    Bridgy Jones provides laid-back humor and hours of gameplay, making it an unparallelled classic in the bridge building physics puzzler genre.

    Sigma12 is an entertaining arcade game, one that will use both your talent for numbers and your impeccable sense of rhythm.

    I doubt I'll spend any real time on Say the Same Thing. It's the sort of game you play for a bit until the notifications start bugging you, you turn them off, and then after a few weeks you forget it's on your phone.

    Where's My Mickey? is a cool twist on a familiar formula. With the animated shorts and clips, and new level challenges and elements, you can tell Disney really wanted to deliver a Mickey Mouse game that's both well made and fresh

    Jet Point is a visual treat and has loads of potential but at this stage it's just too darned hard for the average gamer. A few small fixes and Jet Point could easily attract a stronger recommendation.
