    In the end, NOVA is still the best shooter on the iPhone, but I think iPad version just does not stack up.

    I completely adore Neuroshima Hex, and find it as addictive as Peggle.

    Unfortunately there is a lack of online multi-player, which is huge shame, and one of the main draws for the console edition - let's hope that comes in an update.

    NBA Elite 11 feels like developers have disregarded polishing essential game mechanics to focus purely on the graphics, and although stunning, what we really need is solid gameplay.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The lack of extra artwork and developer's commentary is disappointing. Still an impressive effort on the small screen, but not all that it could have been.

    I have played Modern Conflict on and off since I got it over two months ago. That says a lot, as around 90% of the games on my phone are played once and then never again.

    The addition of ranking and kill signatures will keep you playing for a while to come, and the gorgeous graphics really give the feel that this is much more than a mobile game. It's a shame that the lack of many basic features constantly reminds you that it isn't.

    I honestly can't recommend Mirrors Edge enough.
    • 65 Metascore

    The game is worth getting if you want to have some straightforward plat forming, but don't expect to have this on your device once you have finished it.

    It isn't quite a full touchdown just yet, but it is definitely a field goal!

    You will have hours of fun at the fraction of the cost for the same game on Nintendo DS.
    • 73 Metascore

    There are some slight control issues, and perspective difficulties. If you stick to it you will soon find the same kind of find 'em all mindset that for example Lego Harry Potter induces.

    The Incident is an incredibly cool game, delivering addictive arcade platforming wrapped in classic packaging. It's a budget beauty!
    • 82 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    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.

    I will divide the scores for this game as the single player experience really differs from the online experience.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Caligo Chaser is not a bad game, but it doesn't grab me either. An RPG that doesn't grab you isn't really interesting at all in my point of view. Furthermore the uneven pacing hurts the game tremendously.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    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.
    • 91 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    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.

    Bridge Odyssey doesn't bring anything new to the table, and the challenges found in the opening tutorial basically show you what you will see throughout the game.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    There is quite a lot of content in the game with both story missions, and the option for hunting for goodies.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Blast Off is a perfect game for the iPhone with quick load times, brilliant touch controls and Openfeint integration. It gets my total recommendation even though more content would be appreciated.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    The intensity of the game may not be for everyone, and the relatively small amount of content may annoy some, but for me I can think of few better ways to spend a dollar.

    BioDefense: Zombie Outbreak is a great game combining a user friendly interface, precise touch controls, frantic battles and great presentation.

    • 60 Critic Score
    Getting hung up on a puzzle right before lecture starts, missing a chunk of dialogue in front of the television, and trying to figure out what the heck I was doing when I last saved so that I can resume my story are all things that really conflict with how I play my iPhone games.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    This is one of those games that you absolutely have to play with using headphones. The beats are all super clean and catchy, and they sound crappy on the iPhone's speakers.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    I give it my limited recommendation due to the lack of content. Battle Blasters is a game that will demand both strategy and quick fingers, and thankfully it gives you the controls to succeed.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Backbreaker 2: Vengeance is a well-presented arcade game. A lack of control options, and a clutter of onscreen buttons make it less appealing than the original.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    For platform fans that like a bit of head scratching thrown in for good measure, it's certainly worth checking out, and fans hoping to play the original won't be disappointed.

    Overall, Asphalt 5 is very solid game, with great sound and graphics and plenty of variety to keep you coming back for more.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Arachnadoodle is a must buy combining the crack that is Peggle with nifty spider controls, and zany graphics.
    • 65 Metascore

    After playing the game for an hour or so I was hooked. Alpine Crawler World is a solid casual arcade off-road racer.

    It gets an Editor's Choice for the clever puzzles, lovely graphical style and musical score. Now I actually want to see this movie.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    I like the presentation, the controls and the mood of the game. The lack of levels really hurt it as the survival mode lets you camp.

    All I can say is buy the game now.

    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.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    It might be a blatant rip off of Wario Ware, but on this platform it feels wholly original. It's sick, twisted, and warped…. I wouldn't have it any other way!
    • 69 Metascore

    All in all it is a cool baseball game, but it feels like it can be improved so much that I just can't find myself recommending it.
    • tbd Metascore

    If you have played, and enjoyed the first two parts you should definitely get this as well to find out what happens.

    Short gamelife and easy puzzles draw the final rating down, but it is definitely entertaining venturing into the Transylvanian night.

    Dracula: The Path Of The Dragon is a horror game, but I have yet to be scared by it.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    But while it is an almost perfect rendition of the game, the strafing problem with the default controls will annoy die-hard fans, making this version of DOOM more of a mobile companion piece, than the definitive version.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Doodle God is a fun little casual game. It will keep you entertained for a bit, and you can pull it out in class or at a red light, create a new element or two, then tuck it back away before the teacher or police officer sees that you have it out.
    • 46 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    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.

    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.
    • 93 Metascore

    An incredibly polished game that is addictive, fun and features just the right amount of learning curve before ramping up the challenge.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    With Crimson Gem Saga you get a linear, but polished RPG with some of the worst touch controls implemented in the menus I have ever experienced.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    I had a blast playing this game, and will continue to do so. It could be improved with more difficulty options in the single player, and of course, it doesn't win any awards for originality, but it does succeed in what it undoubtably sets out to do, and that's offer a fun and accessible arcade racer… and a fantastic online experience.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Crap of Defense is definitely not a bad game, but it suffers from lack of variation.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Personally, as with most RTS games, I think there needs to be an option for game speed overall. Some people may want the game to be a little more "real time" than it currently is.

    I have had hours of fun paper puzzling with Colorbind. It is perfect for both shorter breaks, and longer sessions.

    It's too early to claim the puzzle game of 2010, but any contender will have a challenge on their hands. Cogs takes it's place side by side with Zen Bound and iBlast Moki as examples of the best of the best out there right now.

    The higher production values expected on Wii translate beautifully on the iPhone, with great cell shaded 3D models married with 2D style pop-up book sets.

    cronoSgear is a great match 3 game that is unique to the App Store. It is a fun formula, and it keeps evolving with cool units, and enemies. The presentation is overall ok.

    The first premium title for the iPhone is an awesome game reinventing the action RPG genre fully. With marvellous visuals, great controls, deep gene magic system and four intriguing story lines there is no better way to spend your first days of spring.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    In the end, this game isn't for the usual gamers. If you are a hunter though and have a lot of patience, then you will definitely find something good here.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A brilliant game to play for that ten minute break, or on the bus. It lacks long term appeal due to both being so intense, and because there are too many modes and choices to make.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Bit.Trip Beat then is a great game and one that I think all iDevice owners should experience. It's challenging, original and addictive, despite sending you back to the beginning when you fail.

    Sword & Poker gives me the same feeling that I get when I play PuzzleQuest. It has got that same "just one more battle, just one more" addictive flair.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The bottom line is that Sword & Poker 2 is a great game following the brilliant original closely in both gameplay and presentation.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    To me, the game is definitely an improvement from Canabalt. The visuals are obviously way better, the music is pretty outstanding as well, and the gameplay is just simple but quite addictive.

    I want to enjoy Pantheon Cycle: Shrouded Aspect, but it is hard to when I get bored moving my troops along the battlefield.

    Yes it borrows heavily from both Animal Crossing and Harvest Moon, but not only does it scratch an itch for that kind of game on the Appstore, it does the job equally as well, and in many instances it does them better.
    • 64 Metascore

    In the end, the game is pretty fun; it is definitely the most explosive iPhone game I have ever played.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    This is a full PS2/Nintendo 64 kind of game, it is the kind of games we used to pay $50 for before and we had to play it on the couch. This one is only worth $4.99 and we can play it anywhere we want. If it wasn't for the lack of online gameplay and the few flaws it has, it would be a perfect game.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Sure, there's an occasional boss fight thrown in for good measure, but that's about as interesting as things get. The bosses were probably the most enjoyable part of the game, but overall the experiences with them were brief.
    • 79 Metascore

    Online multiplayer adapts a leveling system we've seen grow in most online gameplay in the last few years rather then just sticking in a few leaderboards.

    Dungeon Defenders is a creative leap for the tower defense genre, and one that I would like to see followed up by more refined sequels.

    Moto GP then is a flawed game, there could have been promise here with a few more months of testing.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    All in all the game will probably satisfy the all-time Sim City fans out there; but if you are a new comer, like me, I would suggest you start learning how to play it somewhere else, or you get a friend to explain it to you, because $6.99 might be a lot to waste on something you might never get the hang off.

    • 67 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Overall, its a solid shooter. For fans of Minigore that thought the gameplay was lacking, you'll certainly getting more out of Pirate's Treasure. But despite the campaign adding longevity to proceedings, it manages to become very samey after a short time.

    • 77 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    All in all the game is pretty easy to grab and play for a while but it is definitely hard to master. It is still pretty short though; I beat it in like two hours or so, on normal difficulty.

    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.

    I really wanted to like Halcyon, especially considering its pedigree, but it just doesn't feel like a polished experience. The difficulty and visuals need to be tweaked before it gets any more playtime.

    Despite some annoyances and a bit of a dry experience towards the end, I really enjoyed my time with Perfect Cell. I've completed the entire game - killing as many people as I can - and now it's time to start over with a focus on stealth.

    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.

    Infinity Blade turns the traditional RPG on it's head, and although I admit that it may not be for everyone, for me it is one of the best game on the iOS thus far, and it's just getting started.

    Despite the competition though, this ten-year-old game shows no signs of fatigue, and still feels fresh to this day. The game promises more levels and features through updates, which can only improve the game… especially for seasoned ChuChu-veterans like myself.

    Overall, the game has amazing potential for extended play. These minor issues cannot take away from the truth; 8-Bit Rebellion is a great game that is constructed and executed very well, has crazy amounts of potential, and gives a unique online experience.
