    If you're popular enough to have actual friends outside your computer screen (what a ridiculous proposition), do you buy the cardboard and plastic board game, or sign into iTunes and download the virtual version instead? Choices, choices. Either way, I'm pretty sure one Mr Reiner Kinzia wouldn't mind if you went ahead and did both.

    ARC Squadron is easily one of the best shooters on the AppStore right now.

    A quite fun old school RPG with new school humour. An uneven level of difficulty, hard to read texts on smaller devices, lack of online leaderboard or achievements and dated sound effects draw the final rating down. It is still worth experiencing if you want a fun adventure with weird bunch of heroes.

    Overall, as a tool to wet your appetite for the movie's release, Wreck-It Ralph does a good job of offering up some decent gameplay, especially when compared to other blatant movie or product tie-ins out there. It's a little inconsistent in its quality, both in content and visuals. But, the star of this compilation is undoubtedly Fix-It Felix, which even as a standalone title would be worth a $0.99 punt.

    Borderlands Legends is a prime example of the dangers of taking a popular game series and handing it to developers who are unfamiliar with where the original game comes from, where it's going, and what has made the it successful.

    Funky Smugglers is a good game with a slick look and enjoyable bite-sized gameplay which even though it gets a little repetitive, is perfect for those moments when you're bored and stuck in a queue. An airport queue perhaps.

    It may not reinvent the wheel, but it doesn't do anything much wrong as such and if all you're looking for is a fix of speed, you won't be disappointed.

    N.Y. Zombies 2 is another example where more is not necessarily more. Adding FPS controls, and movement did add more issues than it added gameplay enhancements. Paired with dodgy collision detection, and uneven level design I have to conclude that Terminator 2 is still the big exception to the rule of sequels.

    Not the most powerful game in the universe. It is however a quite enjoyable romp through memory lane that can be enjoyed by both fans, and newcomers to the series.

    The Pilot Brothers is perhaps more of a cool historical artefact than a great game.

    Kumo Lumo is a decent, colorful game that is perplexingly free.

    Save Them All has some neat ideas that at times become too ambitious. It tries to combine the arcade action running found in Don't Run With a Plasma Sword, and the skill based patient running of Canabalt. When it works it is brilliant, but too often a cluttered screen with too much going on, and a hero that melts into the background hindering the brilliance.

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

    I am truly surprised, and actually really glad that Sega has made Sonic Jump a proper standalone game well worth it for both fans, and non-fans of Sonic the Hedgehog.

    Zombie Rollers suffers from being too shallow with too little variation. It also suffers from looking dated, and it is hard to shake the sensation that this could have been released about three years ago. For those looking for yet another way to dispose of zombies it might help complete the collection though.

    Avernum 6 HD is a classic old school RPG for a select audience. Those looking for a quick RPG fix are better off looking elsewhere.

    Carmageddon has never been a great racing game, not in 1997 and not in 2012. It is however some of the most fun you can have on four wheels in a game. I have already had more fun playing this game than I have ever had in Real Racing or Need For Speed. Sure the gameplay differs greatly, but when I play games it is about having fun. Carmageddon spits at realism, farts at proper handling and pees on fair play, and that is just how I like it.

    Hidden Runaway is a reimagining of a ten year old point and click adventure, and I don't really get it. Why not release the full game on iOS first, and then perhaps this dumbed down hidden object game as a sidekick? Now I feel a bit cheated, and I think veterans of the original might feel even more jaded.

    As it stands, Square Planet stumbles over itself. I am saddened to see that the power of the free to play model has caused the value of gameplay so sink so drastically, and especially saddened to see just how many genres it has crept into.

    Starbloom is a simple game, and I was able to complete it over the course of two short sittings. I don't feel compelled to repeat the content, primarily because I just didn't find myself that engrossed. Starbloom has a pleasant aural accompaniment- which is probably the best thing about this otherwise unremarkable game.

    Skyriders is a polished arcade racer in Super Monkey Ball esque levels. If you are looking for a game to mesmerize you while you are chasing stars it is definitely worth grabbing.

    The presentation is more polished than the original, but it will not win any accolades for graphics. There is simply too much grey, and the bloodspatter isn't over the top. I would have liked some wicked splashes of blood littering the screen. As for sound it is ok too.

    True Skate is a marvel showcasing what can only be done on a touch screen, a game that mimics the real life activity closely.

    A sadistic, unforgiving level of difficulty. This must have been made in the 80's.

    Polara is a fresh entry in the endless runner genre featuring a quick, and clever colour-shifting mechanic. Slow to start, but once you get to harder levels the game becomes hard to put away. At that point the lack of graphical flair doesn't matter, and I can only do one thing: keep running. And yes, die.

    Also a good thing is that screeching to a halt just before the last flag to successfully complete a stunt – especially one of the trickier ones – is actually quite satisfying. It's pretty much all you could ask for in a game like this which probably has hundreds of relatives in the AppStore. Go then, strap on your helmet, rev your engine, and try not to fall into a canyon. Katie Cowpusher wouldn't be happy with that.

    Girls Like Robots is a quirky seating arrangement, or rather relationship simulator set in a high school love drama. It is perhaps the most serious game to be published by adult swim. It does however have a sense of humour, and despite not having anything fart or die horribly it is a fun game. There aren't many games on the App Store with this kind of gameplay, and as such it certainly fills a gap between Joining Hands and Triple Town.

    But it's a shame that the game doesn't realise how ridiculous it is. Visually it's so over the top that you're waiting for some humour; an in-joke or two, or some sort of nod and wink that it knows exactly what it's doing. But it never comes, with everything instead being played completely on the nose.

    Blade Guardian does one thing out of the ordinary, and it doesn't work well. There are a sea of tower defense titles out there, and Blade Guardian seems content to blend in.
