    It isn't real football at all; I played real football last week, and I can assure you it left me patently more tired than swiping my fingers across an iPad screen.

    All in all though, as good looking and charming as it is, it needs a little more imagination. And for a game who's main character is a cardboard box and lives in a land of paper, that's saying something.

    The level of interaction required is minimal when compared to the vast array of options the game provides, and there is little excitement outside of watching your matches play out seconds at a time.

    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.

    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.

    Graveyard Shift isn't a bad game, but it does leave you feeling you haven't got your money's worth when your done.

    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.

    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.

    The thing that saves it from being just another App Store title passed by (which it might be anyway), is the rather lovely graphics.

    Sky Gnomes is a fun little racing title with an original concept at it's heart. But, I can't see people sinking a lot of time and effort into it, other than a quick diversion.

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

    Gene Effect is a solid package; you just need to make sure your expectations are in the right place before you jump in.

    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.

    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.

    Overall, Razor: Salvation is not a bad game, but it relies too heavily on the unlock mechanic and supposedly high-end visuals and not enough on variety. For some people, the simple shooting gameplay might grab them and keep them entertained for hours, but for me, it just left me feeling unsatisfied.

    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.

    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.

    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? I lost touch with the cool kids a while back). What's here sounds like something you'd find in a cutesy platformer with fluffy hybrid animals jumping on each others heads.

    Oh right it's decent. There are better side scrolling hack and slash games out there, and some are even made by SEGA. (Streets of Rage being one example.)

    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.

    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.

    There's only so many times you can hit your head against a wall before not wanting to hit your head against a wall anymore. Knight, night then.

    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.

    Oh! Edo Town is still a nice game to spend a couple of hours with, but compared to the other Kairosoft titles I place it in the bottom segment. Too random, too self-running and the first title that actually feels tired of using the same formula.

    Trouble in Tin Town is not a strategy game suitable for the seasoned TBS gamer. It can be highly entertaining as a time waster if you just ignore the strategy, and go for large melee battles.

    In the end, the game is pretty fun; it is definitely the most explosive iPhone game I have ever played.

    A frantic local multiplayer game that is really fun against a friend, or future foe.

    The premise of Hasta La Muerte is intriguing, if a little muddled, and combined with the unconventional visual and sonic style could've made for a more absorbing title. However the gameplay is too simple and one note to hold your attention for long.

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

    It's certainly trying to go for the Motorstorm vibe. But, with a limited amount of tracks, things do begin to get a bit stale. The higher performance cars make things a little more interesting, but as I said, without some kind of multiplayer I doubt players will stick with it for long.
