As it is, Dodo Master is a flawlessly created platformer that screams panache from beginning to end.

This version of Appointment with F.E.A.R. keeps everything good about the original book and adds so much to make it a much better experience. Fans of superheroes or interactive fiction should definitely check this one out. It's one of the best superhero games in any genre on the entire App Store.

Almightree also nails a lot of the other supplemental elements, like great music, beautiful visuals, and a touch-control scheme that works well enough for the basic platforming skills required. However, those extra benefits are simply icing on the cake of a great puzzle platformer. Almightree strikes a great balance in providing challenge and approachability and comes easily recommended.

If you come into this for the spaceship battles you're probably going to walk away a bit disappointed, but just taking it as a piece of entertainment, Ace Ferrara is a lazy day and a few bucks well-spent.

This is basically an A student turning in a C paper on their best subject. It's okay, but it ought to have been so much more. I guess we'll see what happens in the inevitable Season Three.

That series of approachable choices and their many axes and intersections is itself an engine tuned to create drama. As someone with no particular affinity for motorsport or management, I can nevertheless offer a very strong recommendation for Motorsport Manager.

It's a killer for any replay value the game could potentially have. And the 30 levels can be beaten in about an hour and a half or so of play. More levels would be great – enabling easy replayability of the existing levels would be even better. I appreciate a lot about 8bit Doves: I just know it needs a lot more to be the best game it can be.

Despite its passive gameplay, Tiny Tower was a hit with the casual crowd. The inclusion of casino mini-games in Vegas should alleviate the complaints that some folks had about its ‘gameplay’ while still retaining the simple timer-based gameplay in regards to building and expanding your tower. Fans of Tiny Tower will love this Vegas sequel and for others I’d advocate checking it out.

That misguided stamina substitute system sits at the root of most of Spellfall's problems, and it's off-putting enough that I'd rather just go and play one of the many other match-3 RPGs available on iOS.

If you hate that game, you're not going to have more fun here, but if you enjoy it and you like Star Wars, you're probably going to have a good time here in spite of its flaws. Time will tell if it can close the quality gap with Clash of Clans, but I have a feeling that for a great many people, it doesn't need to.
