I absolutely love the idea of using Inuit mythology as the basis of the story, and as mentioned before, the sound design is quite strong. I especially enjoyed the way the characters would call out to each other when they got too far apart or needed the other. Last Inua is a decent experience, it just feels like it could have been a lot more than that.

Do you hunger for something more interesting than the same old packed-lunch jump and collect game? If so, then you'll want to pass on Bloo Kid 2. Looking for a familiar taste to tide you over until something more exotic comes along? Then Bloo's your boy.

...big fans of action-platformers might get something out of it while they wait for something more enjoyable to show up, but for most people, I suspect Lethal Lance is going to be about as fun and memorable as Kickboxer 2.

Gear Jack: Black Hole may be a little bit tiresome after some time, and despite a few new interesting features up its sleeve, it lacks that oomph to keep one entertained in the long run. A solid attempt at an overly exhausted genre, but nothing exceptional, despite its fun factor.

So, no, Kero Blaster is not Cave Story 2, and the sooner you put the notion out of your mind, the sooner you can get to enjoying an extremely well-crafted action game. Aside from my gripes about some missing bells and whistles we've come to expect in modern apps, the worst thing I can say about the game is that it ends.

There’s a lot to love about this new interpretation on classic arcade gameplay, and the few complaints I noted don’t detract from an otherwise highly enjoyable experience. If you have an iPad, then you owe it to yourself to check out this arcade shooter.

What struck me first and foremost about this game however, is just how beautifully polished it looks, and just how much thought has gone into the design of every separate screen, from the menu to the artistic effects and glorious animation. It’s especially relieving to know that there are still developers coming up with original and intriguing concepts amongst all the shovelware.

However, I can see how fans looking for a deeper platformer experience may not necessarily appreciate such a style. Regardless, I’d still recommend checking out 2-Bit Cowboy as a great introductory experience for newbies and an interesting take on a platformer for everyone else.

It's quite difficult, but that just makes it all the more satisfying when you finally clear a tough stage you've been stuck on for a while. All in all, it's a pretty cool and unusual puzzle game, and who doesn't have room in their life for more of those?

Superfrog HD isn't a bad platformer, but it's not a very good one, either. I love that the levels are huge, meaty, and full of secrets, but even with a new coat of paint, this game is still the same as it ever was: a second-rate pretender.
