I do feel like Shooting Stars hits a lot of good high points: there's fun in shooting loads of enemies, dodging bullets, and deploying powerful weapons against "Edmund McMillion." I had a ton of fun playing it on our Mobcrush stream. And it's a game that has great production values for what it is, as a 2D top-down shoot 'em up. It's just that the game has a lot of issues that keep it from being a solid recommendation.

Overall, LMO is a pretty fun game with a great amount of content that will entertain young and old(er) gamers. The many, many Minifigures also trigger the need to "collect them all," which adds another layer to the game. The game's not perfect, with technical issues marring the game's entertainment value, especially when playing with others. For me though, the biggest disappointment of the game is the relative lack of interaction with other players, which detracts from one of the game's greatest features, its MMO nature.

Downhill Riders probably isn't going to make headlines, but if you're looking for a stylish new runner, it's worth checking out. With a few updates and maybe some new vehicle variations that actually mix things up, it could be something you'll want to keep on your phone for extended periods of time.

Despite the few qualms I have with the game, Dinofour is a fun and challenging experience that I would recommend to any puzzle platformer fan. It is a fantastic first launch for the developer and worth supporting in order to see what Craigeatscrayons will do next.

Taken as a sequel to Rogue Ninja, Alchemic Dungeons features significantly more content and is just all-around more fun to play. The crafting element gives it an identity beyond being a ninja-flavored Shiren, and makes the game a bit more accessible than the average roguelike without giving up too many of the genre's core tenets.

The Executive is one of the best mobile games of 2015, and is something that you need to play. It's so amusing and so much fun, that you're doing yourself a disservice by not playing it.

I do wish the medal requirements were relaxed a little bit, and some kind of puzzle editor would be the bee’s knees, but even without that stuff the game is still really great. If you’re at all into puzzle games that are more interested in soothing you than hurting your brain, I think you’ve found your new addiction.

Furdemption is a trully great puzzle platformer with a whimsical protagonist and a colorful-yet-gory art style that stands out among the competition. Add to that a fun soundtrack and the promise of more features to come, and this game's a winner.

What Tales from Deep Space provides is a lot of puzzle-platforming fun, albeit not as a perfect package. You'll get your money's worth out of the $6.99 price tag here, as this is lengthy for a mobile game, for sure. And hey, if you have two devices, you can get some co-operative fun in with this one, too. I have a few grievances with it, but overall, this is a worthy purchase and a fun puzzle-platformer.

The loss of the open world doesn't hit this game quite as hard as it did LEGO Lord Of The Rings or even LEGO Batman: DC Super Heroes, and its story and characters are fun enough to keep you entertained even while you're doing the same old smashy-bashy we've been doing the whole series long. DC fans in particular will have a hoot with its nods and winks, while everyone else can enjoy a decent, if not terribly exciting, action game.
