I like puzzles. So there was nothing stopping me from continuing through each of the 120-plus levels. They kept me entertained, but I just never felt like any of the puzzles were a real challenge. Puzzle games should offer you the chance to believe that you’re doing something slick or outwitting the game.

There's a great game buried here behind the initial good idea, but as it is it's just too short-lived and samey to justify the price-tag to all but the most keen strategy buffs.

There's very little to complain about with Quadropus Rampage. It's an excellent roguelike/brawler hybrid with a control system that matches the fast-paced action.

Reckless Hero is simple but it does a decent job of providing a five minute fix and it is so, so pretty.

RPG Covenant of Solitude is worth a play, as long as you enjoy JRPGs. It's not particularly long, and it's not really doing nothing special with its gameplay, but it will entertain you and occasionally challenge you, if nothing else. The story is interesting, it offers pretty good customization, and overall, it scratches an itch pretty nicely.

If you're after something relaxing and a refreshing change from the plethora of endless runners and tower defense games that are cluttering up your iPad, you could do a hell of a lot worse than Alchemists.

Overall, Man of Steel is a solid game.

The crowd-sourced level generation systems are excellent, but new locales may not be enough to preserve your interest in Cubemen2's just okay gameplay.

Stickman Tennis has a cute, amateur look, but with a pretty deep game underneath that you wouldn't expect based on the name, look or price. It’s priced accordingly for what it is, and you’ll definitely get your buck's worth out of it.

Blip Blup may make for an excellent exercise in interface design, but it's also quite a fun little puzzle game from the folks at ustwo.

For a single buck, though, Bam fu is quite worthwhile.

However, in the great scheme of things there's little to complain about in this excellent sequel to a great game.

As it is, while Battlestone may provide you with a handful of hours of entertainment, you'll most likely reach a point where the game has nothing left to give.

Stickets is the first commercial iOS release from Wanderlands, and it's by far their best, although I highly recommend checking out their free browser games, Midas and Impasse. There's Game Center support, no IAP, and the developers have promised updates with new puzzles and themes.

The bottom line is, Gangstar Vegas is a great open-ended game, with lots of variety and lots to do, and will keep you playing.

Delightful to watch and wonderful to listen to, but not terribly interesting to play. It's a handsome exercise in the rote that falls short of what enthusiastic chin-scratching ambitions it may have had.

Talking with some bicycle enthusiasts (and checking the forums), it seems that getting to equip real brands and seeing the suspension rotate to accurately reflect the frame it's in are a huge boon to its overall value. For those of us that aren’t cycling fanatics, though, there’s still a great joy to be found in Downhill Supreme.

Rather, Deep Dungeons of Doom takes the meth dealer's route to revenue generation: the first taste is always free. But you'll come crawling back with open purse strings when you reach the end of your dose. Consider the free download a lengthy trial period. But don't worry, it's got enough meat to sink three bucks worth of teeth into.

Once you get past the nice visuals and interesting locations, Men's Room Mayhem is a pretty standard affair as far as line-drawing games are concerned. It's enjoyable, and the thematics are certainly different, but there's really not much new as far as gameplay. Based on that, unless you're looking to revive the glory days of old-school line-drawing, I'd probably suggest taking a pass.

Hyper Breaker Turbo finds simple ways to improve on a time-tested game. I got a lot of replay going back through levels, trying to get four stars. The physics, free-floating paddle and awesome level designs make this one game worth checking out. Just be wary of those drunken balls.

Shiny The Firefly has it all – slick controls, puzzles, epic boss battles… but most of all, it has my heart.

Little Luca is a charming, innovative and downright beautiful game – nay, piece of art – that no iOS user should be without.

Scurvy Scallywags bleeds the charm and personality of Ron Gilbert’s classics, and is something to appreciate in a landscape of games that often find themselves without an identity.

There's little creativity, but there's effective design. In a genre so saturated as TD, however, it takes both to stand out.

Overall, Turbo Racing League is a very fun game.

While not perfect, - the somewhat drawn out nature of the early stages of the game can be a little boring for folks who pick up on this sort of thing quickly, Quell:Memento is certainly worth checking out, especially if you like a little personality with your puzzlers.

It's possible to make mundane roles great fun, but Merchant to the Stars hasn't quite worked out how.

As I mentioned at the top of this review, if you've never played Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and you're even vaguely interested in the Star Wars universe or just surprisingly deep RPGs in general, this is a game you need on your iPad yesterday. KOTOR is easily among the best Star Wars games, and on my personal list of top RPGs I've played in my life.
