BBTAN2 has a simple, enjoyable quality to it that makes it hard to put down. Its level-based approach helps separate it from its predecessors, though it doesn't venture too far from the core mechanics of previous BBTAN games. The changes to the pay model are a slight bummer, but in practice the game doesn't play out terribly differently from the other ad-supported games from 111%.

If you've been looking for a fun but challenging digital board game with a lot of depth and a great visual style, Antihero is the game for you. There's plenty of content to play through and clever strategies to figure out, and all of that is dressed in a lovely art style. Now go take out all those street urchins and take over the town; just know that you're in for a challenge and will have to plan carefully and execute at just the right time.

If you're a fan of Brough's other games, this review was likely a pointless exercise. You already bought Cinco Paus. I can see it on your home screen. Put on some pants, friend. Similarly, if you've been turned off by his games in the past, I'm not sure anything I've said here will convince you that this is your magic moment.

Put simply, if you have an recent iPad, you must download Civilization VI and at least play through the free content. When I first played Civ VI on my PC a year ago, my initial reaction was "This game is amazing, but I sure wish it was on my iPad instead." Well, it's on my iPad now, and I could not possibly be happier. I really, really hope this port is wildly successful for Aspyr as I'd love nothing more than iOS gamers to send a clear sign to developers that we're more than willing to pay for these AAA games and want more of them.

This is a decent port of an outstanding game that really isn't at its best with touch controls. If you have an MFi controller, you'll have a great time here. If, however, you prefer to game au naturel on your mobile device, you're going to have to work through some frustrations that come from a fast-paced action game being squeezed into controls it was never meant for.

Overall, Sonic Runners Adventure is an easy game to recommend to Sonic fans and those who enjoy auto-runners. Past that, it's going to depend on how much you appreciate a slick presentation over tight level designs. If nothing else, it's the best original Sonic game on mobile. That's got to be worth a golden onion ring or two.

This makes scoring Bridge Constructor Portal super difficult, as it's a totally different game depending on what you're looking for. If you loved Bridge Constructor, this is another very good bridge building game that's made even better through the new mechanics from Portal. However, I think a way more likely scenario is this game is going to be on your radar because of Portal.

From where I'm sitting, Arena of Valor is the best MOBA on the App Store, and even if you don't care at all about the genre you owe it to yourself to check this one out. I have no idea of the game is going to be as much of a sensation in North America as it is in China, but honestly, it really wouldn't surprise me. Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got more games to play.

Animus- Stand Alone is currently the closest you will get to Dark Souls on mobile and it deserves to be commended for that fact alone. I highly suggest you give the game a look and feel free to check out other people's impressions of Animus- Stand Alone in the game's forum thread.

The lack of proper controller support is baffling because this exists on multiple consoles. Out of all the point and click adventure experiences available today, Life is Strange is my favourite by a long shot. I hope this does well for Square Enix so they can port Life is Strange: Before the Storm as well.
