    This is the most fun I've had racing boats in a video game in quite a long time, and I'd strongly recommend it to anyone who enjoys side-scrolling arcade games or can appreciate a different angle on the racing genre.

    All in all, it's a very solid gamebook, and if you've enjoyed any of Tin Man's other conversions of Livingstone's work, it's a journey worth embarking on.

    It's easy to get your money's worth out of this one, and it's perfect to just pick up and play whenever.

    While I do take issue with some of the difficulty that pops up, otherwise Wavefront does a solid job at managing to balance out relaxing and forgiving gameplay while also rewarding skilled players. And hey, it's a puzzle-type game that isn't a match-3!

    While I have high hopes that the developers can eventually optimize and patch in improvements to make it truly playable, at this point it’s really hard to recommend NBA 2K15 in its current form.

    Despite my misgivings, Sentinels of the Multiverse is entertaining. It has an aura of desperation in fighting a superior enemy and really drives home the threat level of the 4 included bosses.

    If you love Transformers or Angry Birds, or best of all both, you'll probably get an hour or two of fun out of Angry Birds Transformers. Beyond that, you're going to have to have a lot of patience for timers and grinding coins.

    You'll assuredly get your money's worth in fun out of its unusual premise and tight controls, but after you've run through the short list of events, there's not much to keep you coming back.

    The torture is part of the fun, and afterward you can say, with just enough regret and maybe a little heartburn, that what you just did was very hard, you could have done something much more pleasant, but it was totally worth it in the end.

    The game does a great job at balancing out being loose and chaotic with not feeling out of control, and that's what makes this worth checking out.

    While I wish the port was a bit nicer, there's plenty of joy to be had here.

    Taken as a stand-alone effort, it's probably the best thing Sony's released on iOS so far, though that should be taken as the faint praise it sounds like.

    If you love 868-HACK or want a high score game with a unique touch, check out Helix.

    It's challenging, fun, and gives you a huge amount of toys to play around with, provided you're good enough to pry them off of dead spiders and zombies.
    • 56 Metascore

    As mentioned earlier, it doesn’t quite reach the lofty heights of the best in the genre, but it doesn’t have to be in order to be enjoyable.

    For the great physics tech and solid roster of features I have to say hats off to Skullduggery.

    Free-to-play should mean free to enjoy, and Zombie Highway 2 takes that to heart.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    I feel like all of the pieces of an interesting, fun game are laying around here somewhere, but they just never really come together the way they should, leaving the adventure lacking as a whole.

    If you're spent on this genre, it's probably safe to give this one a pass, but if you've got a strong affection for the Game Boy, a deep appreciation for loose references to a certain vintage Konami franchise, or just like solid no-frills runners, you'll likely get your money's worth out of this atmospheric throwback.

    Words for Evil can certainly use a lot more work on its basic mechanics, but you could do a whole lot worse when it comes to word games. If you happen to be eying this one, just make sure you've exhausted Bookworm to the highest degree.

    If you're just looking for a good time with a JRPG that mixes things up a little without venturing too far off the beaten path, you might want to give this one a try, especially at an introductory or sale price.

    This is without a doubt the best version of Dragon Quest 2 we've had officially released in English, and if you enjoyed the recent release of the first game, you should have no concerns about jumping in here and taking on the next adventure.

    I strongly recommend trying it, but do so knowing that as good as it is, it's all ultimately in service to the same basic principles every free social RPG runs on.

    The combination of portal interaction, plethora of characters and development, along with an extensive amount of content with high production values puts it almost in a league of its own. The high cost barrier to entry will certainly be off-putting for some, but folks that invest will end up with an experience that matches and even exceeds that of its console siblings (due to the portable nature of the system).

    With a good deal of attractive gameplay elements I think it's possible to overlook the game's shortcomings and have a good time.

    Tin Man Games did their best here, but there's only so much you can do when the source has this many issues.

    Cosmophony will likely satisfy the masochistic, the people who get their jollies from perfectionist games, and this one throws everything it's got at the player. Does this kind of challenge sound like fun? Then pick this up. Otherwise, you'll probably want to steer clear.

    Whether Five Nights At Freddy's clicks for you or not is heavily reliant on how well it manages to shake you. If the atmosphere doesn't get to you, all that's left is a very simple game of red light-green light.

    Poor Gladiator doesn't have much to it and is slow going at the start, but it's the perfect game to play for a few minutes at a time while you're out and about.
    • 78 Metascore

    There’s little reason not to at least try Adventure Xpress and if you’re wary of freemium to begin with, this one is certainly worth checking out.
