The Settlers for iPhone is still a quality title but I can't recommend it unless you think that balancing your checking account is exciting.

This game can get tough, but like many physics games, a lot of the gameplay is dependent on luck.

Last Temple is a solid match three puzzler that makes up for the lack of uniqueness with great polish.

I would have preferred the gameplay if the level scrolled as you jumped, instead of being on rails. This would give you more time to aim, and a feeling that you are truly battling the clock. As it stands however, it's a little too frantic to be considered fun, especially for longer play sessions.

If you are a fan of either cricket or baseball you owe it to yourself to give the appropriate lite version a go. The controls are excellent and the gameplay is fast and fun.

Truck Jam has the foundations to become a solid racing title. Right now it feels like it's in beta. But, with some tweaks here and there to the visuals and the difficulty curve (it's too easy) as well as the addition of a much needed multiplayer mode, this could be great.

A fantastic example of an excellent story and outstanding voice acting, but suffers from a few technical issues including tricky controls and lag in some areas of the game.

If you want to have a really fun game that takes the excellent gameplay of Boom Blox combined with a good physics engine you can't go wrong with Save Toshi.

Don't get me wrong it is a well made game, but for me all the elements don't quite gel together for a great game.

Monopoly is very customizable, with things like starting cash, auctions, free parking money, and the GO payout on the list to be configured.

Mission: Deep Sea then is a mixed bag. On the one hand [or flipper] it looks great, but on the other it just doesn't offer enough content, instead teasing you with some interesting gameplay ideas but a short lived experience.

Mini Squadron is a fantastic shooter. Combining a retro feel, with something that feels fresh and new. Add in great pick-up-and-play gameplay and a hectic multiplayer experience (local only), and I can't recommend it enough for shooter fans.

Neo Nectaris could use a quickmatch style game mode as well, as right now all there are to play are various unrelated missions. You do not carry over your units from previous missions, nor is there much of a storyline.

Mikado Defenders is definitely one of the better looking, and sounding tower defense games in a saturated market. If you utilize a good strategy the game becomes too easy, and starts playing itself.

A short somewhat easy twin stick shooter. The cuteness factor combined with instant playability and varied levels still make it one of the most fun games to play in the genre.

Ultimately, it is a solid, but forgettable, experience that newcomers to the point-and-click genre will enjoy much more than old timers.

Labyrinth 2 takes everything about the original Labyrinth game, and rockets it to a brand new level of quality and fun. If all the games on the App Store were this good, I wouldn't leave my house. Absolutely a must buy.

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

To me Jet Car Stunts is the perfect iPhone and iPod Touch game. It makes great use of touch and accelerometer features to not only create one of the best, and most addictive driving games on the platform, but an experience that, for me, can't easily be recreated on another device (except maybe the Wii and PS3 controllers).

Jenga in classic mode, and pass n' play mode is an enjoyable experience. Slowly paced it is fun to challenge yourself of a friend.

It's one of the better movie-tie-ins out there. But after watching the film twice, it just about keeps it's head above water in meeting my Na'vi needs.

I have had a fun and frustrating time with Isaac Newton's Gravity. Sadly the frustration has come from clunky controls more than from the challenges presented.

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.

A definite lack of personality, colour and realistic physics lowers the final rating somewhat. I still find Implode! to be a nice little casual demolition game that is easy to recommend.

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.

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.

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.

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

An excellent time waster, and can be really relaxing to play for both short and long sessions. Great polished graphics, and one of the best soundtracks in an iPhone game definitely makes it something well worth getting.

Unless you're crazy about this type of game, disregard the Square-Enix label and pass on Hills and Rivers Remain.

Gameloft have put a lot of effort into not only creating a great and worthy game for just $6.99 that would look and play great on a console such as the Wii, but also delivered a game that fans of the original had hoped for.

The Hero is tremendous arcade style fun.

Yes! this is heavily influenced by Geometry Wars, both in terms of gameplay and look and feel. But if clones are this good, and perhaps even better than the original source material, then a little bit of unoriginality isn't always a bad thing.

Maybe you should stop thinking about picking up that soda for a quick sugar rush, and instead use those pennies for a punt on this game, for a brain rush!

Hector: Badge of Carnage Ep1 is definitely one of the best point and click adventures available. The humour is raw, rude and immature – bleeding perfect that is.

Farm Frenzy 2 improves slightly on the great original, but I had expected it to be further from the original.

Actually I am not too interested in playing anymore Fallen as I don't care about Roman Mendez the running Hispanic maniac, am highly annoyed at the collision detection environmental bugs, and feel that the story doesn't go anywhere.

I thoroughly enjoyed Espgaluda 2. Sure, it's pretty mindless arcade fair, but the craziness to it all makes for an exciting ride.

While GunRange is essentially a tech demo, it does offer some re-playability by adding new weapons which can be unlocked using credits earned.

Playing Eco Punk is a fun and intense experience for quick sessions.

EA Sports MMA is about as good as I can see an MMA game being on the iPhone, but that does not necessarily make it a great game by any means.

Dungeon Hunter 2 gets my full recommendation, and it is one of the best most playable games for 2010 in my opinion.

The Sims 3 World Adventures offer very little in terms of Sims gameplay, but the good production values save the final score. The fact that you can import and export the Sims between the Sims 3 and World Adventures is also a big positive factor to the game.

The Sims 3 Ambitions is the most polished experience, and definitely recommended for old time fans for the series for both PC and iPhone.

Silverfish is a well presented arcade avoid em' up that plays very well. If you are a fan of other games of the genre you will probably enjoy this quite a lot. If you are completely new to the genre it might seem both confusing, and too hard to grasp.

Sentinel 3: Homeworld is a marvellous tower defense game. It caters more to the already initiated strategist, and it demands your time and effort. For newcomers the lack of story might deter the interest.

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!

I am not sure if anyone outside the existing fanbase will find any reason to play past the first couple of levels of Mazes of Time.

Sky Combat does nothing new. It is, however, a great example of the genre. Any fan of arcade shooters won't want to miss it.

Heavy Mach 2 tries too much in my opinion to span too many genres.

A highly challenging game that is hampered by poor controls.

A short, but intense experience. You could compare it with a Summer blockbuster like Transformers or Terminator, not exactly mentally stimulating, but a fun blast none the less. If you are looking for trigger happy thrills, then Bob's your man!

There is definitely room to grow from here, but Gravity Runner has stepped up the bar for past and future platformers and it is a game that anyone, from any age and era, can definitely enjoy.

With online scores, and achievements through OpenFeint gamelife the game turns into a complete package. To me Giana Sisters is among the best platform games for the iPhone alongside Soosiz and Earthworm Jim.

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.

Garage Inc. is a short, and at times enjoyable experience. For the most part it is a frustrating repetitious experience, and I will probably never play it again.

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

Not only is it great to look at, with great fish models and animation, realistic water effects and pretty looking locales all running smoothly on my 3GS, but the gameplay itself is great fun.

Final Fantasy I is still a better place to start whether you are a seasoned veteran or completely new to the series.

Final Fantasy I is still a better place to start whether you are a seasoned veteran or completely new to the series.

If you are looking for the best soccer game this summer definitely check out FIFA World Cup. The touch controls are great, with players behaving, as you want them to.

At the end of the day, despite some shortcomings, and with the promise of multiplayer to come, FIFA 11 feels like the most complete version of soccer to hit the AppStore.

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.

I hope we'll see more of Pigeon Squadron, as I feel there is nice little IP here which could break into other gameplay types and genres.

All of my gripes about originality aside, technically speaking, Zen Bound is still a great looking and sounding game, and it controls and plays just as well.

At $0.99 ZombieSmash offers a lot of fun for your money. With funny animations, sounds and weapons the game excels in sheer bloodsoaked mayhem.

Zombie Infection is a great action game from start to finish. Sure, the story is uninspired and the voice acting is terrible, but the core gameplay is some of the best fun I've had with an action title on iPhone.

If you enjoy high score games with online leaderboards I can definitely recommend Zombie Highway. It proves how important game play is over presentation.

I have had both been extremely bored, and quite satisfied with the gameplay found in Pucca Noodle Rush.

The game is fun overall. There is no real doubt about it, but to me it got a little bit repetitive and tedious after a little while.

I look forward to Xenome Episode 2, and hopefully Nine Pound Studios will hire someone to create interesting missions tying up the story.

Despite my criticism I urge you to keep Wizard Hex on your list of games that might become must buys later on.

Samurai II will test your skill, smarts, and patience, but you should have a lot of fun along the way.

A cash-in? yes! But once more it raises a smile.

What tickles me the most, is the thought of the developers spending hours searching for the gayest music track to accompany the game, where they settle in the end for Erasure's Always - a song that would turn even George Michael a brighter shade of pink!

Controls work well for the most part.

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.

Galaxy On Fire 2 is one of those games that rewards gamers the further they progress. It's a trend that has faded in recent years, and I fear that too many gamers may get bored before they experience the best that GOF2 has to offer.

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

It is a very simple game, yet it can be addictive and pretty challenging at times.

Without doubt an entertaining game. Yes, it has it flaws here and there, that if fixed could make it an unmissable entry in the DMC franchise. Having said that, if you are looking for a fun hack and slash action game, or if you are a fan of the series, then this is a must buy for only $1.99.

I have had a couple of challenging, frustrating and in the end quite rewarding hours playing Cardboard Castle.

Overall, New Bust-A-Move offers around 2-3 hours of puzzle action in the adventure mode. But then there's always the endless mode too, which offers up the more classic style gameplay.

It's up to you then to make you purchase decision on what kind of gamer you are; single player? online? or both?

Dark Nebula Episode Two is a triumph of budget game design on the AppStore.

It has a cool 16-bit look and feel to it that reminds me of the game Flashback, and the various deaths are funny to behold. Because of the basic graphical design I would have liked to see more levels than the initial three (more levels are promised).

The game mechanics is fun, and easy to understand. The lasting power of the game is low though, as you have to restart from the slow beginning upon death.

Great controls paired with a unique presentation make for a good experience that sadly ends too soon.

Gameloft state that this is the most ambitious action RPG yet to grace the AppStore. Ambition is one thing, but delivering on that ambition is quite another. Unfortunately, Sacred Odyssey is lacking in too many areas, many of which are paramount for this genre to succeed.

Thankfully, League of Evil's controls are perfectly balanced and I found myself breezing through the opening levels almost on autopilot, thanks to the familiar and classically intuitive feel of the onscreen button setup.

It is a great port with a good save system, bookmarks and multitasking compatibility. The puzzles are intriguing, and the game world is immense.

Risk on the iPhone is a good game by default, but the experience of using it is poor. Risk fails to bring features already available in games such as Carcassone, forcing players to sit huddled about their iPhone screens for a lengthy strategy session.

Iron man 2 is a fun game, but it's far too easy. You'll breeze through it's 9 levels in just over two hours, and even then it will feel more like a theme park thrill ride than an intense action game.

I found that the RPG mechanics in Hybrid 2 are shallow, the combat takes far too long to get interesting, and the story is a snoozefest. All of these flaws contribute to make a game with little motivation outside of flashy graphics and combat that is fun at a very basic level.

The Package is an excellent puzzle game. But, be warned! it is very hard. Great for the hardcore puzzle heads out there, but it might scare some casual gamers off. If you love a challenge though, you won't be able to put it down.

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.

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

No Human is a fun game, but the thin content and sparse presentation draw the score down.
