It's much too rough around the edges to be The Best Game Ever™, but it's still worth some choice moments of your time due to it's scale, ambition and the fact you know it was made with a whole lot of love. Just don't expect to be playing it to infinity.- TouchGen

So it's standard 3D shooter fare which doesn't reinvent anything. Sometimes that's all you need. Just remember that the graphics are supposed to look the way they do. You dope.- TouchGen

If you’ve ever played Words, Hanging or Scramble with Friends, you’ll be well versed with how ‘Reveal!’ works. You log in, challenge a friend (if you have any) or select a random opponent, then take it in turns to complete your round. And just like those famous games, you may also wait for two weeks for them to play their turn, but that’s another story.- TouchGen

Patchworld is a great looking casual shape cutter that is a bit too easy for adults, and therefore more suited for children age four to ten. It is a shame since the world created in the game is really cool.- TouchGen

The gameplay found in Incredible Express HD is nothing revolutionary, but it is quite fun. It is a light-hearted take on simulation games for a touch interface, and a crowd used to time management games. The stale presentation, at times imprecise controls, and awful soundtrack are the clear weak points.- TouchGen

A fun casual one touch game that you can pick up and play for ten minutes when waiting for the bus. It does`t offer any depth, and in the end the casual nature is what hurts it.- TouchGen

Rock Runners does some things in a fresh way such as the excellent inspired level selection menu, and adding some exploration to an automatic runner. The hero running through the mines is a bit too generic, and I get that this might be to be able to customize him.

Zombie Quest HD might put a lot of people off considering it has the word zombie in the title. Given another skin, name, friendly subject matter and online multiplayer it could be a potential new Hero Academy. The gameplay is the strength of Zombie Quest HD, and it deserves to be packaged with more care.- TouchGen

It seems like Gameloft fell in love with their swinging mechanic a little too much and forgot about making the movement on the ground fluid. Since combat does not take place in the air, this decreases the quality of the game significantly. It is not a bad game, but it certainly is not as good as I had initially hoped.- TouchGen

My biggest infuriating gripe with the game though is the total gameplay time, it took me 1hr 30minutes to complete, regardless of this being only episode 1 or a 4 part series the $6.99 (£4.99) price tag is too steep for my liking.- TouchGen

Overall, this is a fun game that suffers from a developer going a little overboard trying to make some money. This game reminds me of going car shopping. Sure, it's a lot of fun to drive new cars, but you have to deal with the salesman constantly trying to sell you on the car and not just letting you enjoy the ride.- TouchGen

The sound is a little disappointing though. You'd think a BMX game created by a real BMX biker would include a soundtrack that was a bit more…I don't know, 'With It' (is that the right term?

While the presentation is very slick, with cute and well drawn characters and background art, and easy to navigate menus… not to mention the extremely catchy music (you know you are in trouble when you catch yourself whistling it!) the gameplay on-the-other-hand is lacklustre for its genre, falling short when compared to the likes of Angry Birds and Cut the rope.- TouchGen

Speaking of graphics, the death animations are quite disconcerting. There's something about the way your penguin lies face down on the ice when it's game over that really motivates you to make sure they don't die.
