Touch Arcade

I think that for what it does, which is being a smaller, casual arcade game, it does a good job at being something fun to sit back and play again and again, while also trying to be retro, not just use the pixel art aesthetic.

There's an overall lack of polish in the presentation, particularly with how the graphics are distorted on certain screen dimensions, and the added detail in the sprites compared to the Air Supply games makes that end of things stand out even more than in previous titles. But as the bard said, the play's the thing, and in that regard, Docking Sequence is quite sturdy for its asking price.

Seeing as how it’s a free-to-play title, there’s nothing stopping you from at least checking out Ultimate Robot Fighting. However, I think at this point there are better, similar titles out there to invest your time in. The lack of brawler variety, combined with the shortfalls in controls simply outweigh the potential merits of robot collection and power-up exploration.

Most importantly, even though it’s obviously not a traditional SimCity title, it feels like it even through its free-to-play gameplay, and that’s worth something. If you’re in the mood for a crafting freemium title, you can do a lot worse than checking out BuildIt.

This one's for fans of the game already, which may be why $6.99 character IAP in a paid game is available, because people care enough to shell out for it. I guess I can't really fault that, even if I'm not entirely comfortable with it.

I think Contest Of Champions is actually a better game than the mobile version of Injustice, but it's not quite as kind to the player. If you're looking for a Marvel-flavored version of the DC brawler, this is probably close enough to satisfy you, and it might even pleasantly surprise you in some ways.

Unfortunately, every last bit of that praise is for naught if you don't have an MFi controller. If you do, this is a must-buy, but if you don't, the extra four or five dollars you'd spend buying it on PSN or Steam instead is money well spent.

I still think the underlying game in Brother in Arms 3 is worth playing, but there are a lot of potential players that will be instantly turned off by all the freemium aspects. Sadly, I can’t say I particularly blame them in this case.

BattleLore: Command's gameplay design is outstanding, and its solid presentation helps it deliver on it in stylish fashion. ...Nevertheless, it's a superb strategy game and I think you'll easily get your money's worth out of what's here already as long as you're willing to take a few lumps while you learn to give them.

Well, this episode is a great way to start off this series. The promise and potential for Tales from the Borderlands was very high, and "Zer0 Sum" generally gets off on the right foot.
