Pixel Ranger: Retro-styled 2D shoot ’em up. Controls are irksome, but the game is otherwise great. Argh. 3/5 $0.99 http://t.co/sEt0jUWb
Xurge: Space invasion meets colour matching; gets clobbered by rubbish controls. Sigh. 2/5 $0.99 http://t.co/UuuBOsFh
Crazy Escape: Road-drawing arcade game. Innovative but scuppered by fingers covering important action. Univ. 2/5 $0.99 http://t.co/by90HZI2
Cosmic Cab: Dazzling but uncontrollable 3D tube racer/collect ’em up. Nice ideas; poor execution. Univ. 1/5 $0.99 http://t.co/WrFmOUFE
Banjo Piranha: Middling physics game with a cute star and slightly wonky controls. Univ. 2/5 $0.99 http://t.co/Mfbu2Fhh

Friday barg alert: Reckless Racing 2 is down to 69p/$0.99 http://t.co/FYGMRMum <- Not that reckless now, but the racing bit’s good.
Robo5: Truly excellent arcade puzzler with an amnesiac robot climbing and rearranging crates. 5/5 $0.99 http://t.co/3JFzA7uJ
