Nevertheless, I think L Pop! is worth trying out if you like the sound of the core mechanic. There is a lot of depth to it, and I certainly appreciate that you can't just place pieces willy-nilly and get decent results. You can download it and try it out for free, with an IAP to permanently remove non-optional ads if you end up digging it. I just wish that it put both of its feet in either the paid or free-to-play camp. As is, it's built like a paid game, but monetized like a free-to-play one, and that results in something that doesn't satisfy quite as well as either.

Whether you're a fan of Warhammer Quest, or tactical-combat games in general, picking up The End Times is an easy decision. Do it. If you're looking for more information on the game you should head to our forums where the page count for Warhammer Quest 2 is growing by the day. Perchang developers have also been active participants in the discussion there and have shared quite a bit about the game.

All in all, Kick Ass Commandos could not have a more fitting adjective in its title. It kicks ass, plain and simple. If you are looking for an action-packed romp through ridiculous environments and set pieces, look no further than this game. It's over the top with its humor, visuals, gameplay, and quality. Definitely give it a chance and don't forget to check out Kick Ass Commando's forum thread for more.

Beyond Oasis is a flawed gem in the Genesis line-up. Unfortunately, some emulation issues and the nature of virtual controls magnify a few of its flaws, and it will almost certainly make you angry at times as a result. Nevertheless, the game can still be enjoyed in its current form, and on balance is probably one of the best action-RPGs currently available to mobile gamers.

Folks interested in checking out DropMix can certainly view the bevy of videos at the game’s website. Otherwise, the game can be found at most electronic big box stores (as well as Amazon). At a $100 for the base game, it certainly isn’t a cheap experience. However, for those with friends willing to give it a chance, you won’t be disappointed.

Despite these minuscule glitches and gripes, I really enjoyed recklessly driving around REKT!'s eye-catching sandbox arena. Landing complicated stunts and achieving higher scores (all while unlocking cars and cosmetics) kept the game feeling fresh and satisfying.

All in all, this is a good return to form for a series that has been struggling with where to go since it attempted a protagonist switch. It hopefully goes without saying that if you enjoyed all of the other Ace Attorney games, you will enjoy this one. If you're new to the series, I definitely would not recommend starting here as it's somewhat steeped in its own lore. If, like me, you found Dual Destinies to be somewhat wanting, you might find Spirit of Justice scratches your itch a little better. The pacing is improved, there's a bit more challenge, and the characters make a lot more sense. If nothing else, its pun game is certainly on point. A good turn for Ace Attorney overall, and a smooth handling of what was becoming some very messy loose narrative threads.

As you've probably figured out by now, I'm not happy with the direction of the current season. Minecraft is more than just boxy figures fighting each other. For me, part of the reason I consider Minecraft one of my favorite games is because it moves beyond the usual sword-swinging of other games and lets players be creative in a number of ways.

As much as I want to give Aka to Blue my highest recommendation, online leaderboards are a major feature for score attack games and they really ought to have been included here. That may not matter to some of you, of course, and if that's you, then you can feel free to jump in head-first. Even if you do care about leaderboards, Aka to Blue is good enough in every other respect that anyone who enjoys a good shoot-em-up needs to pick this up. I find it amazing that the former Cave staff could slide so seemingly effortlessly into producing Cave-quality shooters, and I greatly look forward to whatever they're working on next.

Blasting baddies, slinging myself around, and grappling to various balloons was extremely fun and satisfying. However, I wish the game was more difficult (or had different difficulty options) so that permanent bonus attributes would feel more impactful. I also wish that Grapple Gum's length was a bit longer than it was. I still think it's a great game and I don't regret purchasing it. It's available for a fair price and I encourage those who are still interested in it to take the plunge.
