There isn't anything exciting, and very little that's interesting about Awake - Horror At Point Thatcher. It presents itself as a huge mystery waiting to be solved, and there probably is a decent one in there somewhere, but unless triangular hat wearing factory workers are your thing, it doesn't offer any compelling reason to find it.

King Cashing is a great way to spend time, and it can be really exciting at the end of battles. At times the fact that it is a slot machine shines through, and then it feels all random and no skill.

Eve of Impact is a great looking view of a bleak future for mankind where the universe is falling apart. Sadly the game is quite shallow with only one survival game mode, no online leaderboards or achievements. To me this is a shame, as the gameplay in itself infuses new life in the classic Missile Command formula.

Bring Me Sandwiches!! is a fun platformer with a clear Katamari inspiration. With excellent presentation, spot on touch controls and a fun story it is easy to recommend.

Thanks to Modern Combat 3's fantastic multiplayer, not only will I be able to reclaim my right as a gamer to blow people up at 3 in the morning, but because we're now in an era where this is all possible on my phone, any location in the world is open to me and my underpants.

Ocarbot is a hard game, and it will not appeal to everyone. To those who want a really challenging puzzler with a lot of personality you can't go wrong with Ocarbot.

Descend can be seen as a rather expensive tech demo of how the graphics could look in a 3d turn based RPG. The game is not there at all. I can't recommend this half-baked game to anyone but those who are interested in the graphics. The game lacks nerve, action and purpose.

A hard game with a demanding time limit to each room. To a small audience this will be a perfect pace, but for the most of us it gets frustrating replaying the same room over and over.

Warm Gun is a real let down. The game does looks great, controls well if you select single-stick mode (a la Gameloft shooters), and when it works without connection issues you'll have a fun shootout. However, with very limited options (death match only), only four players (3 plus you) and an inconsistent, lag infested, online experience, there is little in the way of a game to recommend right now.

Mage Gauntlet is great fun from the first level to the last, and then you can do it all over again, albeit harder.

If Fruit Ninja: Puss in Boots is any indicator of where the Fruit Ninja series is heading in future installments, I for one am excited.

It manages to create some suspenseful movements of being chased by the time keepers, thieves and thugs. The use of the powerful Unreal engine is not that well executed since it adds a lot of loading time. Overall I can still recommend the game to those who are interested in the movie, and to those who want to see the Backbreaker gameplay in a new setting.

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

A fun psychedelic diversion that works well as a casual game for shorter moments. Trying to play longer sessions is taxing because of the randomness of awesome to poor shots, and the weak level progression.

If you are looking for an intense thriller and have a lot of time (or money) on your hands then you may want to pick this up. For everyone else it's certainly pretty to look at and listen too, but I doubt you'll have the patience or enough encouragement to get to the end.

Advena is an action RPG that doesn't really do anything really new. The positive aspects are the responsive controls, cool switch between party members mechanic and battle animations. On the negative side the sound is boring, the story is predictable, texts don't fit text bubbles and finally the heavy use of IAP to succeed.

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

Scribblenauts may be worth buying simply for the sandbox mode, which works as a great time sink if you're bored on the go or waiting in line somewhere. As far as the game itself goes, don't expect to be challenged much, or pushed to solve puzzles in truly creative ways.

Monsieur Monsieur makes something fresh from the Angry Birds formula, and combines it with a platforming experience. It is quite shallow at the moment with only a bit of collecting to do. Still it is fun, and easy to get into.

Ferry Up is a cool little casual game for the iPad that challenges your ability to navigate a ferry with the agility of a fridge. It is fun for a game or two, but then it gets too repetitive.

PES isn't perfect, but it's certainly not terrible. Come to think of it, neither is it mediocre. And if you're confused by that sentence, you're not the only one.

It is not the best in the genre, but still worth getting for the cool world of jelly that the developer, Infinite Dreams, has created.

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.

Fix the controls and refine the experience, and we might see a solid and unique game in our hands.

TAoT:RKT have a too long name that isn't eye-catching, but it makes up for it in sheer playability. I would have guessed that the game was an endless runner starring a kitten. It doesn't bring anything revolutionary to the table, but it brings old school tight hardcore jumping to the small screen.

The fact that the controls don't work as well as they have too is also a big drawback. Paired with a boring set of menus, and the story told in text bring the final rating down. FlyMe2theMoon reaches for the stars, but stumbles and falls somewhere in the treetops.

A fabulous football simulation that stops just shy of full marks.

A fun new entry in the strategy game genre. It is more casual than ordinary war strategy games, but still more hardcore than for example Plants vs. Zombies.

I can see this game benefitting from the brilliant kind of mission structure that Jetpack Joyride has introduced. For now it is a highly recommended universal game that is darn fun to play.

Shadowgun has surprised me with great level design, balls-to-the-wall cover based action, and solid set pieces; all wrapped up in an enjoyable b-movie-esque tale and, of course, stunning presentation. As a graphical showcase alone - of what can be achieved on iOS with the Unity engine - it's worth it.

Real attention has been paid to making sure justice has been down to this handheld version. Everything you loved about the 1991 release is here to savour, and the game has translated surprisingly well to the iPhone. Just beware the crazy difficulty.

The gameplay is solid even though it takes a while to "forget" about the lack of octagons. The customization of mechs is cool, but could be much deeper and flexible. Presentation is a bit basic, but it works quite well. The lack of online multiplayer is also something worth noting.

When all is said and done, it really is just another bug squashing game - albeit a very polished one - and it's a bit late to the party.

A good game lurks within Cowboy Guns, somewhere, but it is spoiled by the camera point of view and lack-lustre presentation.

A very interesting and well polished puzzle game. It will fry your brain and really make you think analytically.

Treemaker's unique approach to a game structure we've seen so many times before on the iPhone gets an A for effort, but it falls short on execution, visuals and sound.

GoatUp manages to be a unique experience despite being just another Doodle Jump knockoff. Who could have imagined that kissing goats, grazing the land and jumping upwards could be so much fun.

The only redeeming factor to Fix-it-up is the fact that you get quite a lot of gamelife out of it. That is if you care to stick around with a game that barely scratches on the surface of the time management genre. Sad, as I really like the setting.

Rest assured, the audience King of Dragon Pass is aimed at will lap it up. But it's even made a metal and machine guns guy like me respect the dragons and warlocks of ye olde. I'm sure to be back blasting aliens in the face with assault rifles soon, but for now I'm off to trade that bogey in a jar.

Farm Frenzy 3 offers loads of content, but sadly most of it has been seen before. Actually this is more of a graphical update than anything else.

Grand Prix Story is so far the simulation I have liked the least from Kairosoft. Too much sitting about idle, no racing interaction and a lack of combos are huge letdowns.

There are too many better games in the same genre at minimal prices already.

The combination of excellent presentation, lovable monsters, Jenga gameplay and cool music. It works just as well on the small screen, as on the large.

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.

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

A pretty decent "pick-up-and-play" game. There are some achievements that make the game a little more fun, but most of the achievements are acquired just by playing the game normally instead of completing specific tasks. Unfortunately, there has not been a release of additional levels or achievements yet.

I really enjoyed playing NFL Rivals, and the setting makes it much more enjoyable than the predecessors. It is the same gameplay, but injected with real teams and a global competition.

DrawRace 2 is my favourite game for iOS, and if I had to name a game that defines touch screen gaming this is it.

Whether set in a huge mansion, a built up city, or even space, this game is crying out for more levels.

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.

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.

A fun simulation game with cool graphics, and a enjoyable vibe. Being on the easy and short side, and lacking online leaderboards hurt it quite a lot. Still it is worth getting if you have enjoyed the other titles from Kairosoft.

Gameplay is slick and simple, the music and sound effects are right on the mark too.

Kickin Momma comes with enough levels to keep you busy for some time, especially if you go back to earn a gold medal on each one. Plus, there's Game Center achievements and leaderboards that increase the replay value even further.

The big stuff is all in place, with AI that's up to a challenge and online multiplayer that's made even better with video chat.

Ionocraft Racing is a mixed bag to score. The first thirty minutes are really fun with a lot of customization. Then it turns to a lonely brown mess, and I lost my interest. This happens both on the iPhone, and on the iPad.

Aside from the initial letdown for those expecting a deeper game, Jetpack Joyride is a delightfully challenging arcade romp that no iOS gamer should be without.

A game that is just as much about going into the menu to restart a level, as it is actually slicing shapes.

Minigame Paradise will hook quite a few with the cute characters, easy to get into minigames, and collection aspect. The fact that the minigames are too simple in design not offering more than a way to spend a few minutes deters me slightly.

Sprinkle brings something new with it's water physics, but it's comparatively small amount of levels, in-app purchases and unexciting soundtrack leaves it to fall short of being something great.

iOOTP Baseball 2011 is a deep simulation with a lot of gamelife. The basic presentation, and lack of sound hurts the overall impression. You can't go wrong with it though if you are a fan of baseball, and simulation games.

A perfect fit for iOS, with gameplay that is suitable for the five minute break, or the three hour train trip. It takes line-drawing gameplay to another level, and injects the genre with a level based system.

Contre Jour oozes with a dark, silky charm that grabs your attention right after you first launch the game. Before you know it, you'll be 20+ levels deep without any recollection of how much time has passed.

A real surprise to me in a truly positive sense. It merges two genres almost seamlessly, and manages to keep the formula fresh for hours. The slightly sketchy controls at times disturb the gameplay. In the end it is still an easy game to recommend to both the casual gamer usually into match 3 puzzlers, and the hardcore MeatBoy platformer fans.

Where the multiplayer excels, the single player lets the game down. Too few game modes, and simply not that fun AI makes it lacklustre at best playing the soccer mode. Penalty shootout is decent in single player, and can be fun in short sessions.

Not a good game, actually it is one of the worst experiences I have had in quite a long time on my iOS devices. Poor graphics, slow gameplay and a complete lack of proper introduction to puzzles leaves a sour taste in my mouth.

More ingenious puzzles, an amazing level of freedom to creating solutions, and a great sense of replay-ability to better yourself. To me this is a true sequel, where you take everything that was great about the first game and then improve on it in almost every way.

Tiny Lights suffers from some horrible control issues, especially at the few occasions when you try to battle the enemies. A short game life also stumps this otherwise immersive, cute and explorative experience.

Torture Bunny is just above the fart applications in quality, and subject matter.

A good casual puzzle game well worth getting if you want to have a new spin on the "feed candy to an animal using ropes". To me the ability to affect the cookie by tilting the device limited my enjoyment, and the need to plan ahead. Despite the fact that it failed to grab me it still provided me with hours of gametime, and that is what casual gaming is all about.

A must buy in my book. Quirky racing across weird levels is too much fun to pass up.

NyxQuest is one of the best platformers I have played on any iOS device. It looks and sounds stunning, has a great setting and is generally a joy to play.

Jet Set Go takes the classic formula, and adds some twists to it. Sadly the core gameplay is let down by the twists, and at times the game feels like it is slightly lost in the world.

The great level designs, presentation and intuitive touch interface all come together to create a symphony of intense 'edge-of-your-seat' action, that is so engaging it's almost impossible to put down. If this game isn't already on your iPhone and iPad then what the heck are you waiting for?

A polished and highly enjoyable golf experience. I'm not entirely sold on the freemium model, but you can still have a good time on the green without spending a cent, and so making it free will no doubt put this feature rich golf game in the hands of more gamers.

A fun puzzle game that looks good, and plays well. Too bad that it is a bit easy, and can be completed within an hour and a half.

Until the controls are fixed I would advise holding off on playing it. Why bother you may ask? Well, once it's fixed you'll find a highly polished game with great graphics and sound, as well as level design that is a fine balance between fun and frustration (as all platformers should be!)

Cut the rope experiments then is very much more of the same. But when more of the same is this good, then it's not always a bad thing.

A polished and enjoyable platform romp that translates well on the iOS platform. Its repetitive nature is the only thing that may hold it back for some, but both Kindle and the gremlins are endearing enough for most to stick with it.

Bearing in mind that the constant frame rate drops do hamper the fun of Tactics, I would still recommend the game to anyone looking for a long form and satisfying RPG on iOS.

So, for those looking for crazy racing fun, look no further than Hot Pursuit. But, for those of you who do like their racing games on the more realistic side of the road, then you still can't beat Real Racing 2 and it's great online multiplayer.

Among all the games trying to push hugely detailed worlds, and console-like experiences, it's always nice to find a game that fits perfectly within its iOS surroundings. Delivering a tight, focused and tailor-made experience that I challenge any gamer not to fall in love with. It joins like-minded titles like Bumpy Road, as true AppStore gems.

Every facet of Silent Ops - be it the action, controls, graphics and presentation, it's online offering and most importantly it's gameplay - they all have one thing in common, and that's that they have all been done far better before.

It doesn't quite offer the same originality in gameplay as Bit Trip beat, but it's attack on your senses will knock your socks off, and more than makes up for it. Beautiful!

Fun and simple gameplay, meets generic graphics and horrible music in Heli-Awesome! OpenFeint and Game Center integration is great, but with the ability to IAP your way to greatness it means the scoreboards can't be trusted as an accurate gauge to your high flying skills.

As a spinoff from Reckless Racing I couldn't help but hope for more, taking what was good in that game and creating something truly great. In that respect it simply can't compete.

Yes, the battles do become repetitive, especially in regards to their presentation, but there is still a huge feeling of accomplishment when you defeat a ship through both great battle strategy and lightning gesture reflexes!

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!

A great little entry level RPG, it's very light on story, so might not appeal to the hardcore RPG player, but it's intense action, great controls and an easy to use inventory and level up system ensures that it can be enjoyed by all.

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.

Swords and Soldiers doesn't take itself too seriously and makes for a perfect introduction for RTS first timers and a great casual experience for more veteran players.

9mm is a slick, intense, and sometimes sick, ride. I wanted, and expected, guns, gangsters and violence… it delivered, and then some.

Battle Bears Blast is a blast to play, and manages to fill a void in the market with a casual shooter gameplay.

Finger Shoes is a simple and highly approachable concept. It has fun and funky graphics, and an annoying but catchy soundtrack. However, like Forest Gump running across the US, it needs to do a little soul searching before it can refine itself and become a must-have casual game.

Fans of the franchise will enjoy this game, as will fans of shooters, but I fear there is little to keep anyone interested for very long. Each level only takes 10-20 minutes to complete, and the game can easily be beaten in a day.

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

A thrilling ride from beginning to end. Its crazy japanese visual style combined with a mash up of rock and techno music (including a cameo from tubular bells) is a joy to behold. Combine that with intense shooter action, item upgrades, a bizarre storyline, and multiple endings, and you have one of the best shooters on the AppStore.

If online play, new characters, and practically infinite replay value doesn't sound good to you, don't waste your money. For the rest of you, go buy Street Fighter 4: Volt now!
