Texting of the Bread: Type to kill gingerbread zombies. Great game dynamic, but the implementation is dull. 2/5 $1.99
Cave Run: Auto-running game. In a cave. And there the innovation stops. OK, but nothing new. 2/5 Free
Recommended freebie: Bubble Pets <– Demented & furious retro Whac-A-Mole.
Pipe Race: Dull tube racer with questionable collision detection and weak graphics, despite reasonable speed. 1/5 $0.99
Bit.Trip Beat: Guitar Hero as mugged by Pong, resprayed & soundtracked by Autechre. Fun but fiddly/demanding. 3/5 $1.99
ARDefender: Interesting AR tech but a basic & rubbish tower defence game. Certainly not worth paying for. 1/5 $0.99
Bubble Bobble Double: Quite fun tower defence + botched classic arcade game port + OTT price tag. A pity. 2/5 $4.99
Killer Edge Racing (one of Tim #Langdell s targets) is now back on the App Store for $0.99. Go and buy it.
Master of Gomoku: Great take on the connect-five game. Plenty of options. Works well both on iPhone & iPad. 4/5 $0.99
And, yes, that does mean we like Castle Smasher more than Angry Birds. Deal with it, iOS fans.
