    The slow tedious gameplay of the arcade mode is even worse when playing the newly introduced splatter rush mode.

    But the lack of a consistent style really hurts it and stopped me as a player becoming immersed and caring at all for the story and characters.

    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.

    Coin Army isn't a good game. It may, however, be a good approximation of the gambling experience. If you love playing the slots, give Coin Army a shot. I'm not going to review it well as a game though- which is what it is presented as.

    In the end, this is just not a very fun game. Making a point and click adventure is hard. The player does not actually do a whole heck of a lot, so the puzzles, visuals and writing need to spot on. Sadly, in Sinister City: Vampire Adventure, they just aren't.

    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.

    Regardless of its high level of presentation in both visual and audio, the game is seriously hampered by highly repetitive gameplay with a control system that is flawed.

    Dead Rising Mobile is both a technical marvel, as it lets you roam a mall freely on your iOS device. But at the same time it suffers from a crude combat system, graphical shortcomings and glitches and a general unpolished feel.

    Mad Dog McCree is only for those with fond memories of the original. It is priced way too high to warrant a purchase for anyone not familiar with the game. At $0.99 it could have been a glimpse back in nostalgia. Mad Dog McCree brought something new twenty years ago, and that is exactly how tired and old it feels.

    I found The Saboteur to be a total fail of a game. Linear scripted levels with non-existent AI soldiers you wage unskilled battles against using unresponsive controls.
    • 42 Metascore

    Presentation is lacklustre, the game lacks commentaries, official entries and songs, and most of all it lacks flair. Once mastered it will get boring right away, but up to that point it is really fun.

    The characters are all there, including Jeffrey, as are the moves. But, it all comes across as a somewhat mediocre fighting experience, with just a standard arcade mode to play through consisting of no story, and a bluetooth only Vs mode. You'll soon bore of it quickly.

    The developers of Wanderer shouldn’t have expected the virtual joypad to work, and it doesn’t. All of the art and fancy lighting in the game don’t make up for the fact that it is a highly simplistic arena brawler with shoddy controls.

    What could have been a pleasant trip down memory lane is merely a facade, and I have a hard time calling it a game at all. How does the same company that gave us Chaos Rings II give us this?

    Slingo Supreme is a fun and bright casual game perfect for a quick break or the long boring movie you have to sit through. There are a great deal of luck required for the higher scores, but as you are awarded by unlocking things by just playing it gets really hard to put down.

    This game seems to be a good pick up for a 7-12 age group, but that's about it. So if you're a parent who doesn't mind buying a mediocre $0.99 game to keep your kid busy, then this is your game. But if you are expecting a game with replay value above 20%, Bigby: L.A.P.D. is definitely not for you.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    The gameplay really is something worth checking out. Early on it's a little slow going as you learn the different ways of utilising the chicks, but soon things get frantic, genuinely challenging and the game quickly becomes hard to put down.

    I really like time management games for my iOS devices, but Soap Opera Dash leaves me dissatisfied. Too easy for the most part, and even without the upgrades between levels perfect scores can be met.

    A great little casual space flyer with loads of levels. The presentation lets it down, and the substandard sound effects are annoying. I can still recommend the game to anyone looking for a challenging little game offering great game time for a dollar.

    I'm not sure the game will appeal to the newer generation of high demand gamers with it's 8-Bit graphics, and awfully repetitive soundtrack, coupled with little improvement over the original.

    The unlocked levels don't add any challenge, but just another 30 minutes of the same easy vacuuming. Poor presentation, lack of achievements, and an overall rushed impression makes it hard to recommend paying for Planet Work.

    Vector Conflict is a fun, challenging barricade defence game. It is really hard, and to some this might make it more appealing, and to others less. The fact that choice of upgrades truly matter is excellent in giving me that extra motivation to try again with a new setup.

    While it certainly becomes challenging as you progress, it's much more forgiving than games like Doodle Jump, and leans a bit more on the casual side of the genre. It's nothing amazing, but it's one of the better games I've seen from "one-man" developer teams on the App Store, and is certainly worth a buck to get some quick entertainment while you're out and about.

    Pixel Pig is a nice casual game that works well for both the five minute break, and the two hour train ride. It lacks slightly in presentation, and music but makes up for it in playability.

    In short bursts it is quite fun, but playing more than a level or two quickly turns the formula into a tedious exercise in memory. At a buck it is an ok investment, but don`t expect it to hook you as other line drawing games tend to do.

    Although there isn't really a storyline to follow, and all you do is fly around and kill aircraft all the time, it is definitely on of those kinds of simple games that you can just pick up and play in case you need some time to kill.

    The quirky control issues, lack of game life after all upgrades have been bought and the lack of cool sound effects limit the appeal of the game. Still it is worth getting if you need a game for a two hour train ride, but don't expect to play it on the return trip.

    Dragons' Den is a real flop, and all I can say is avoid it. It is the worst game I have had the misfortune to test, and sadly it is universal and has soiled both my iPhone and my iPad. This is ludicrous, and I am out.

    Fails as both a logical puzzle, and as a time management game. The gameplay is not fun, and too often Karma just stands around waiting for customers to pay up. A poor presentation, lack of online functionality, achievements and a general lack of polish makes it an easy game to dismiss.

    The gameplay found in Incredible Express HD is nothing revolutionary, but it is quite fun.

    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.
