Overall it’s a simple, fun and addictive package. No iAP, no complications, and impressive in the looks and sound department. Plays a good game too.

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.

Ticket to Ride is the first time I've enjoyed playing with trains in 20 years. Should it have more content and a local play mode for the $6.99 asking price? I think so. Could it use a bit more in regards to social features and chat? Certainly! But that doesn't take away from the fact that it is a highly polished, and highly entertaining board game experience that will keep you coming back whenever you have 20-30 minutes to spare, and possibly even tempt you spend a few more bucks on it's add-ons.

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.

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.

Despite the lack of multiplayer (we expect this to be added in future updates) XCOM: Enemy Unknown offers an astronomical amount of content, spanning more than one genre. Having said that, the game is not without problems. Game-breaking bugs are frequent and frustrating when they befall you during important missions.

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

You don’t have to be a space fanatic either to enjoy the game, it’s gameplay, wit and ability to be picked it up in minutes heavily outweigh its space setting for the non-believers out there.

An intense breakout game with everything but the kitchen sink thrown in.

Might and Magic: Clash of Heroes missed out on a major opportunity with its iPad release. An otherwise fantastic puzzle RPG with decent story, CoH on the iPad lacks the level of polish of the original Nintendo DS release. I have come down hard on the quality of this port, but if you can't play CoH elsewhere don't miss the opportunity to enjoy it.

Creavures is definitely one of the more original platformers on iOS, and stands out amongst the plethora of cookie-cutter rivals by the strength of its visuals, cutesy sound and teamwork gameplay.

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.

Aww Flips unpretentious nature continues with lo-fi visuals and an electronic soundtrack that sounds like it's being played live, and completely at random, combined with Space Invader-type sound effects.

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.

Sound is no slouch either. The booming effects and humorous comments from Stan add polish on top of the already polished polish, and sound even better through headphones.

While Fibble isn't the game you'd expect from Crytek, it is a good example of the puzzle genre. By melding solid touch-screen controls, physics-based challenges, and state of the art graphics, it showcases what iOS gaming is capable of. Strip away the visuals, and you are still left with a solid puzzler which is great fun from beginning to end.

A great platforming title with a fun cool gameplay twist. It doesn't quite seem as fresh an idea as it did on Wii over a year ago, especially with many unique physics games already on the AppStore and on other consoles since, such as Super Scribblenaughts.

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.

One minor annoyance is the functionality of weapons; these cannot be aimed and are predominantly effective against zombies that are right in front of you.

The deciding factor then is the multiplayer. It gives the game far more legs than the competition, and will no doubt sit as the dominant Arcade racer on your iOS home-screen. That is until the next super-sprint-style game hits the AppStore – no doubt in a few weeks.

Devil's Attorney has got nothing to do with Phoenix Wright. There I said it in the final paragraph. Many had hoped for a new text based adventure game set in a courtroom, but alas Devil's Attorney is not it. It is however a truly fun turn based strategy game set in that very same courtroom. I highly recommend it.

Definitely a game worth considering if you want to get into some doomed dungeon crawling with a strategic twist.

If you like it, and can live without a linear level structure you have almost unlimited game life ahead of you. If you on the other hand want a clear goal with the game you owe it to yourself to at least play the free portion to sample this new exciting game developer.

Comes highly recommended, as an abstract shooter that is both intense and beautiful.

It gets an Editor's Choice for the clever puzzles, lovely graphical style and musical score. Now I actually want to see this movie.

The bottom line is that Sword & Poker 2 is a great game following the brilliant original closely in both gameplay and presentation.

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.
