I was skeptical at first, but this game is surprisingly fun. I found myself saying “just one more time” way too many times. For only a buck, you get some entertaining trademark infringements, entertaining screams of demise, and happy fun time.

This game is the equivalent to a console game “button-smasher” (like Devil May Cry or Jade Empire). Since it’s for the iPhone I’ll call it a “screen-smasher”, it does require some thinking though.

SEGA brings Sonic the Hedgehog to the iPhone. Loop dee loops, dives and jumps are all here in the quest to stop the evil Dr. Eggman and his world domination scheme. Springs, traps, bridges and all sorts of monsters are there to stop you all the while collecting rings (cha ching).

CozyQuest is an answer to the desire for traditional RPG action in an MMORPG that is being built from the ground up and provides some of the best developer feedback around. While it needs time before it can completely dominate its space, there’s an awful lot that’s done right.

Anyone who likes a good dungeon hack will probably enjoy Rogue Touch. Be sure to set your expectations for graphical splendor appropriately low, though, as this old school RPG uses simple 2D sprites in its randomly generated dungeons. While the graphics are decidedly low-tech they are quite appropriate considering this is a port of one of the oldest RPGs in existence.

iDracula is a survival horror game that places more emphasis on “survival” than “horror.” While the atmosphere is quite creepy, and the graphics and animation are top notch, the game play consists of moving around just one area and killing monsters, collecting weapons and power-ups, and doing this for as long as you can hold out. It’s well done but ultimately monotonous and shallow.

Yet another match three game, Gemmed differentiates itself by including little colored monsters which you’re charged with getting to the exit. The game is fun but it’s hard to say that it will appeal to everyone. Hard core match three gamers may find the extras as gimmicky, and others may find the game a bit too busy and lacking of real challenge.
