Despite being pretty bare-bones and having a few timed game mechanics that are slightly annoying, The Mesh is still a very easy recommend.

You don't know Jack is the most fun trivia game I have played on any console or computer.

I enjoyed Burn it All a lot more than Burn the Rope, but that probably comes from my preconceived distaste for accelerometer-based titles.

If it wasn't for the lack of multiplayer and the little details I mentioned, this would have definitely been a perfect game. For now though, it is without a doubt, a Boomshakalaka!

Fast Five doesn't bring anything refreshingly new to racing games, ripping many elements from similar games before it. But, it is a highly polished and enjoyable racer and can hold its head high on the AppStore amongst other quality titles such as NFS: Hot Pursuit and the Asphalt series.

Train Conductor 2: USA is another prime example of a game that has benefited greatly from a long development period with fine attention to detail.

A simple game fleshed out into a fun, and quite addictive experience.

Despite this gripe, Star Marine: Infinite Ammo offers up a fun and action packed ride. It's a worthy addition to any iOS gamers' library, particularly if you yearn for those 16bit action-platformers from the Super Nintendo and SEGA MegaDrive days.

The Horrible Vikings is a casual game gone adventure, and it really works.

Football Manager Handheld 2010 is a slimmed down version that feels agile and quick.

Overall it’s a simple, fun and addictive package. No iAP, no complications, and impressive in the looks and sound department. Plays a good game too.

But I was surprised how much it drew me in with it's great visuals, sound, and well implemented interface. The winner here though is the story, which much like a good book can keep you glued to your little screen.

Ticket to Ride is the first time I've enjoyed playing with trains in 20 years. Should it have more content and a local play mode for the $6.99 asking price? I think so. Could it use a bit more in regards to social features and chat? Certainly! But that doesn't take away from the fact that it is a highly polished, and highly entertaining board game experience that will keep you coming back whenever you have 20-30 minutes to spare, and possibly even tempt you spend a few more bucks on it's add-ons.

Rimelands : Hammer of Thor is an extremely enjoyable game due to keeping the challenge going, and I really hope to be able to continue the adventure. Not because I care about the story, but rather because the game mechanic works well.

The music is awesome, much like epic soundtracks such as you'll find in Halo or Call of Duty, the music really adds atmosphere to the overall experience, egging you on through even the toughest missions, and almost rousing goosebumps at times.

Despite the lack of multiplayer (we expect this to be added in future updates) XCOM: Enemy Unknown offers an astronomical amount of content, spanning more than one genre. Having said that, the game is not without problems. Game-breaking bugs are frequent and frustrating when they befall you during important missions.

Osmos presses all of the right buttons for me. To be honest, I would have payed five dollars for the solar mode alone.

You don’t have to be a space fanatic either to enjoy the game, it’s gameplay, wit and ability to be picked it up in minutes heavily outweigh its space setting for the non-believers out there.

An intense breakout game with everything but the kitchen sink thrown in.

Might and Magic: Clash of Heroes missed out on a major opportunity with its iPad release. An otherwise fantastic puzzle RPG with decent story, CoH on the iPad lacks the level of polish of the original Nintendo DS release. I have come down hard on the quality of this port, but if you can't play CoH elsewhere don't miss the opportunity to enjoy it.

Creavures is definitely one of the more original platformers on iOS, and stands out amongst the plethora of cookie-cutter rivals by the strength of its visuals, cutesy sound and teamwork gameplay.

iBomber Defense might not blow anyone away in terms of being new and creative, but it definitely shines as one of the most fun strategy games out there.

Aww Flips unpretentious nature continues with lo-fi visuals and an electronic soundtrack that sounds like it's being played live, and completely at random, combined with Space Invader-type sound effects.

On the one hand you have a great thrill ride of a game, but on the other a disappointing core FPS experience due to poor AI and the almost on-rails linear feel.

Sound is no slouch either. The booming effects and humorous comments from Stan add polish on top of the already polished polish, and sound even better through headphones.

While Fibble isn't the game you'd expect from Crytek, it is a good example of the puzzle genre. By melding solid touch-screen controls, physics-based challenges, and state of the art graphics, it showcases what iOS gaming is capable of. Strip away the visuals, and you are still left with a solid puzzler which is great fun from beginning to end.

A great platforming title with a fun cool gameplay twist. It doesn't quite seem as fresh an idea as it did on Wii over a year ago, especially with many unique physics games already on the AppStore and on other consoles since, such as Super Scribblenaughts.

I was suprised how much I enjoyed Ice Age… I'm still playing it now, trying to get every last nut. As movie tie-ins go it's a refreshing change.

One minor annoyance is the functionality of weapons; these cannot be aimed and are predominantly effective against zombies that are right in front of you.

A great platforming title with a fun cool gameplay twist. It doesn't quite seem as fresh an idea as it did on Wii over a year ago, especially with many unique physics games already on the AppStore and on other consoles since, such as Super Scribblenaughts.

The deciding factor then is the multiplayer. It gives the game far more legs than the competition, and will no doubt sit as the dominant Arcade racer on your iOS home-screen. That is until the next super-sprint-style game hits the AppStore – no doubt in a few weeks.

Devil's Attorney has got nothing to do with Phoenix Wright. There I said it in the final paragraph. Many had hoped for a new text based adventure game set in a courtroom, but alas Devil's Attorney is not it. It is however a truly fun turn based strategy game set in that very same courtroom. I highly recommend it.

Definitely a game worth considering if you want to get into some doomed dungeon crawling with a strategic twist.

If you like it, and can live without a linear level structure you have almost unlimited game life ahead of you. If you on the other hand want a clear goal with the game you owe it to yourself to at least play the free portion to sample this new exciting game developer.

Comes highly recommended, as an abstract shooter that is both intense and beautiful.

It gets an Editor's Choice for the clever puzzles, lovely graphical style and musical score. Now I actually want to see this movie.

The bottom line is that Sword & Poker 2 is a great game following the brilliant original closely in both gameplay and presentation.

A breath of fresh air in a tired genre on the app store, and I'm looking forward to future games Ubisoft has to offer for the iDevices.

I love the artstyle in this game and the gameplay is engaging. And despite being very challenging at times, it kept me coming back for more.

Ravenmark: Scourge of Estellion is one of the most comprehensive turn based strategy games for iOS. For the strategy gamer it is a must buy, and it will definitely give you a lot of challenge. For the newcomer to the genre all the information, and options might be overwhelming.

It's a nice looking, well presented game, with sharp visuals that really pop out on the iPhone. The levels are especially nice to look at and are vibrant and full of colour.

Chromixa is a great game, and took me by total surprise. It looks simple when you have just slaughtered your way trough a couple of levels of Nova or raced like a drunken delivery guy in Parcel Panic.

One of the most unique experiences on any platform, and comes highly recommended for the iPad and iPhone.

Table Top Racer presents some of the juiciest steaks I have ever seen in video games, a finger lickin’ good distraction.

Dead Trigger won't win any accolades for best story, best narrative or game design. It does what a shooter should do however, and that is offering a octane fuelled fun experience killing zombies.

However, at higher difficulties the game becomes much more edgy.

Anomaly Korea builds upon its predecessor. It isn't just more of the same, but don't come to Anomaly Korea expecting something entirely new. You can, however, expect a game equal in quality to the first release.

Sonic Dash is a quick automatic runner that harnesses the essence of the franchise in a great way. Perfect for both a five-minute break, and a lazy evening in the sofa.

Dante's journey through the five circles of hell in The Inferno is a delight to any fast fingered player with an interest in classic literature. If you are looking for a slow puzzle game that lets you do things at your own pace The Inferno is not for you.

It's all a little garish, as are most of Cave's games! The story too makes little sense, but then again, who cares! This game is all about blowing shit up amongst a bevy of bullets. And for that reason it's a rip-roaring success.

Where's My Perry? is a brilliant physics puzzle that takes all the strengths of the original, and gives it a bit more personality using some of the characters from Phineas and Ferb. What the game might lack in length it makes up for in sheer fun, and satisfaction.

Pardon me if I mention the music one more time. Apparently it's produced exclusively by a dude named Syko G. So to him I give a 'Big Up' and a 'Brrap, brrap' or something like that, and to the rest of the Touchy Interactive team, I doff my cap in sincere admiration.

Despite the control issues Incoboto has a lot going for it. I found it offers up one of the best puzzle platformers on the AppStore. Even if it doesn't feature a Mario and Glados face-off!

Big, bad and explosively mad.

I have to rate the game separately when it comes to the single player, and multiplayer experience. The difference is huge, and if I give it a combined rating it might go un-noticed, as it is one of the best same device simultaneous multiplayer games released for iOS to date. It is a shame that the single player campaign isn't as rewarding.

It is hard not to enjoy Penny Parlor, and the old school gameplay it presents. It is worth getting for the baseball, and football games alone. It might not last forever, but it is one of those perfect little casual games for the short break, or when out walking.

In spite of its slow start, Dynamite Jack escalates to be an exciting stealth action game.

With the increasing number of old-school arcade shooters making their way onto iOS, Raystorm stands out as a worthy sequel, with better presentation, slicker graphics and sound and even a friendlier price point than it's predecessor. If, unlike some games reviewers, the words 'Force' and 'Storm' don't put your job in jeopardy, it's well worth a pick up.

I will divide the scores for this game as the single player experience really differs from the online experience.

I have to conclude that the formula was perfect three years ago, and the original still goes down as one of those games that made me believe in iOS as a proper platform for deep games.

Box Cat was a surprise to me hitting me with simple, yet addictive fun gameplay. The presentation is perfectly suited for the game, and it is easy to get hooked by the catchy chiptune soundtrack. Box Cat comes highly recommended, as a quick arcade fix with lasting power.

Whatever you take from the story is up to you, but if there is one thing that you'll take away from this experience then it is the excellent platforming. The story and presentation is just the glue that ties it altogether, but underneath that layer of art and music is a love letter to platforming.

The cute presentation is great, and gives further enjoyment.

If you are a fan of Bejeweled, Triple Towns, Alchemy or slide puzzles this is a no-brainer. If you cringe when playing Resident Evil, and the slide puzzles show up this is not for you. Alien Hive is a refreshing mashup of genres, and it is a game that is easy to get into and really hard to put away.

Score! Classic Goals is one of those games that I want everyone to try no matter if you are diehard soccer fan, or just a gamer. Sure those haters out there won't like it, but I wouldn't want them near this game either, as they would soil it with negativity.

The ability to call in your own ships and draw out flight patterns for your ships grants flexibility seldom found in traditional tower defense games. Yet, that constant threat and anticipation of waves is completely intact, creating a good spin on tower defense (ship defense?) that I hope to see more of in the future.

Snowboard Hero is a great first stab at Extreme sports for Fishlabs. A few things hold it back from being perfect, such as the lack of more advanced controls for seasoned gamers; an SSX-style free ski mode, no multiplayer for one-on-one racing, and the aforementioned character styling.

I very much enjoyed my time playing Mr. Crab. While it doesn’t cram itself with the intentionally addictive progress bars and elements, the fast-paced gameplay and unique level design kept me glued to the iPad.

The gadgets make for a good change in pace and the boss battles mean Lockdown stands out from being an Infinity Blade clone.

Art Mogul is an interesting fresh mixture of risk-reward, hidden object game and business building. The slow pace might be off-putting to some, but if you bear with it and get hooked you will find a brand new kind of game.

In the end, this is a really good game. There are a few instances where the controls were not as accurate as I would like, and the game limits you if you are not willing to spend some real money. Still, I managed to squeeze a good three hours out of the game without spending a dime, and it is hard to complain about a beautiful and fun game that does not cost anything.

Overall, this is another solid entry from Spacetime Studios. They have shown that they can still make a good MMO for iOS. That being said, the energy mechanic that is taken from the Mafia Wars style of games makes it feel less like a full-fledged MMO, and more like an asynchronous mobile game.

Takes the solid gameplay mechanics of Mirror's Edge and throws in satisfying combat, a bunch of unlockable items, a sweet motion comic storyline, and a fun combo/power move system.

A polished entry in the time management genre. If you loved the first two it is a natural step to get the third as well. If you are new to the franchise the third is a good place to start.

Despite those problems though this is a great action title offering an intense mix of fighting, shooting and adventure. However, casual gamers beware!… this is hardcore through and through.

But the real reason to buy the game is for the local multiplayer of both the main game's levels (through racing) and the previously mentioned mini games.

A very enjoyable arcade beat-em-up. It has great visuals with humorous animation, a nice range of power ups (including a mega smart bomb which destroys everything on-screen after collecting all the letters of the word 'Gumball'), inventive enemies – a multi-decker sandwich that takes off his head to beat you with – and a range of power ups to keep you interested.

One of the most fun casual jumping games I have come across. It combines simple controls, a great concept and varied obstacles.

A great adventure game with focus on interpersonal relationships, and intense quicktime events. The first episode sinks it´s hooks in deep, and the wait for the next episode is already tormenting me. This comes highly recommended to both fans, and newcomers to the world of the Walking Dead.

Taking Xtreme Wheels on face value I can easily say it's the definitive trials experience on the iPhone and iPad. Upon further dissection it could certainly do with more levels, tweaked control response and some of it's glitches fixing. This is by all means a must by for trials fans!

Tin Man Can combines great presentation with simple to grasp controls, and an excellent multiplayer mode.

Despite it's multiplayer shortcomings, Muffin Knight is a game that should not by missed. It's one of those games that just shouldn't work. But, all the elements come together to form a unique arcade experience that will be comfortably at home with the other great - and strangely quirky - titles on the AppStore.

Smash Cops is a cool action racer based around stopping fugitives by ramming them. It takes skill to master, and it is a real joy unlocking new cars and levels. The game could do with better music, or at least the option to use your own playlist. However, the excellent graphics, innovative controls and intense action still makes it an easy recommendation in my book.

Kid Vector is a cool speed run platformer that can challenge most players intensively. I would have liked to see more story, or at least more variation with power ups for example.

If you look for a game that laughs in the face of casual gaming, and adds depth to the experience definitely pick this one up.

Tragically, the sound design in Solarola is horrendous.

Overall, Asphalt 5 is very solid game, with great sound and graphics and plenty of variety to keep you coming back for more.

Lovers of 8bit games, platformers or portals are sure to love every second of Commander Pixman and that's what makes it worthy of the Editors Choice award.

I found the slow pace, and extended loading times even on my iPhone 4 to diminish the fun factor of the game considerably. If you are an avid manager fan there is no reason not to get this game though.

Pretty good. It does have a couple of problems in that the leaderboard system does not have a friends list, and the game, sometimes gets a little too frantic for touch controls.

Jump O'Clock is one of the most polished and easy-to-play platform jumpers on the iPhone.

I got hooked really badly to Solitaire Kingdom Supreme, and it is easy to spend hours unlocking Kingdom Cards and stars.

For fans of multiplayer word games, it doesn't get much better.

Ultimately, Prince of Persia: Warrior Within plays very well on iPhone, it looks great and, despite some instances, controls great too. The main issue I have with it though, is its console heritage, especially the save system.

Dodonpachi Maximum is probably the best place to start in the Cave universe of bullet hell shooters. It has an easy mode, and is overall easier to play due to the lack of debris. The lack of personality compared to the ports is a let-down for us veterans though.

The fresh take that Babo Crash offers is nothing revolutionary, but I'm glad I gave it a shot, because it is great fun.

Bumpy Road is one of those games which, like Tiny Wings before it, oozes charm and sophistication, yet comes in such a small budget package. It's proof that sometimes the simplest ideas have the most legs, or in this case wheels.

I've been converted! Don't expect me to start wearing Angry Birds T-Shirts all of a sudden, or going back and playing the original. But who knew that sticking an already strange pairing of birds and pigs, and launching them into an off-worldly environment, would turn me around. But, unfortunately for me, it has.
