RAGE HD: On-rails shooter. Bloody & exciting, despite irritating camera. Massive app/short length tho’. $1.99 3/5
Incidentally, it appears EA’s gone bonkers. Loads of games down to 99 cents/59p. Grab them while you can.
Osmos: Unique and beautiful physics-based arcade game. Loses little in its trip across from the iPad. 5/5 $2.99
Gyro Sheepdog: Oddball guide ’em up. Nice graphics & controls; could do with more levels/features. 3/5 $0.99
Mega Jump: Vibrant, good-humoured star-jumping platform game but irksome IAP-oriented unlock mechanics. 3/5 Free
Infinity Blade: Absurdly pretty modern take on Punch-Out!!, with swords and basic RPG-style levelling up. 4/5 $5.99
e-Pig Rope: Imagine Hook Champ was unplayable tosh. Now imagine it starred a pig. It’d still beat this game. 1/5 Free
Barg alert: Need for Speed Hot Pursuit for iPad is currently just $0.99
Civilizations Wars HD: Bigger so more controllable on iPad, but still not a patch on Galcon. 2/5 $1.99
Civilizations Wars: Clunky Galcon-style game with tower-defence bolt-ons. Get Galcon instead. 2/5 $0.99
