I really wanted to like Halcyon, especially considering its pedigree, but it just doesn't feel like a polished experience. The difficulty and visuals need to be tweaked before it gets any more playtime.

Wake the Cat feels like a strange idea slapped onto a rather limited physics puzzle engine.

A terrible port of a wonderful game- meaning the end product ends up somewhere in the middle.

Fans of the original may enjoy seeing the 8 bit retro mode, but may be largely disappointed with the lack of care taken with this iteration of their beloved game.

Predators lacks compelling story, structure and mechanics.

Commando Jack is a cheap alternative in the tower defense jungle, but to conquer all you either have to grind like crazy or resort to IAP.

The poor A.I. and hit point balancing make Deus Ex: The Fall a poor shooter in my mind.

Despite the occasionally smile as I evaded the cops and launched into a slow mo speed jump. Fast & Furious: Adrenalin is a lackluster affair. In trying to concentrate on raw nitrous fuelled speed, I-play have dumbed down the overall package.

A pretty, but by-the-numbers, endless platformer, that I doubt will stay for long on your iOS homescreen.

Sure, there's an occasional boss fight thrown in for good measure, but that's about as interesting as things get. The bosses were probably the most enjoyable part of the game, but overall the experiences with them were brief.

Let's face it, even calling Monster Life a game is a stretch, so much so that I am uncomfortable scoring it as one. As a gamer, I can only imagine how frustrating it must have been to work on Monster Life. While the groundwork for making it a beautiful, and potentially creative Pokemon-meets-Animal-Crossing is in plain sight, it is ignored in favor of a carrot-and-stick approach to player psychology with little reward.

If you are looking for a word game to play against a friend on the same device it is still a decent investment, as it is more or less the only option available as of today. It is not recommended if you intend to play it by yourself.

Don't take this as an indictment against the game book genre.

Cafeteria Nipponica is poorly paced, and leaves the player waiting too much.

There are too many well made tower defence games on the App Store featuring the most important thing, gameplay, for Battle for Hoth to be even close to worth getting. If you are a fan of Star Wars try the lite version. If you are a fan of strategic tower defence games don't try the lite version.

Marvel vs. Capcom 2 just feels like a lazy port, because that is exactly what it is. It seems as though Capcom was just trying to cash in on the hype behind the franchise, which is disappointing because they did such a good job adopting Street Fighter to iPhone.

Infinite Warrior is a promising concept hampered by dysfunctional controls, non-persistent upgrades, and IAPs. It honestly feels as if the game wasn't playtested.

Blade Guardian does one thing out of the ordinary, and it doesn't work well. There are a sea of tower defense titles out there, and Blade Guardian seems content to blend in.

Rock(s) Rider feels unfinished at heart with a lot of fancy stuff layered on top. After hitting the head of the rider twenty times in a row without realising that the obstacle was obscured by a beam in another layer I had to conclude that I wasn't having any fun at all.

Although there is a great variety of levels, and the idea behind the game sounds like fun, Steve Young Football still falls pretty short on the whole fun aspect.

Real Steel is a mixed bag of great presentation, cool robots, slow predictable fighting and horrendously repetitive crowds.

Dracula: The Path Of The Dragon is a horror game, but I have yet to be scared by it.

The experience isn't that rewarding, and in the end you might feel that you actually wasted bandwidth downloading the 422 MB. Freemium games can be good, but in the case of Six-Guns it feels like a way to avoid spending time writing a proper story.

Worm vs Birds feels like filler. It is a game with many flaws built upon a flimsy premise. There is nothing inspiring about its themes, its characters, or its artwork.

I want to enjoy Pantheon Cycle: Shrouded Aspect, but it is hard to when I get bored moving my troops along the battlefield.

Yet Another Zombie Defense fails in most regards to wow me, and without a save game system it doesn’t get more chances to do so. Try the lite version before considering the paid version.

The core mechanic of tapping people to fine them gets boring very quickly, the graphics are unattractive and basic (although new towns are interesting enough to look at that they retain some charm), the music loop is one-note and annoying and unless you're up for spending your own cash on IAP, you're forced to play the same levels over and over until you get enough coins to progress.

Fumes Stunt Racer is not the game I wanted it to be. Heck it isn't even the game it itself wanted to be.
