    If you were hoping for a port of the 1982 classic arcade game, you should just walk away right now. If you are willing to accept change, or have just never heard of Zaxxon before, this is a worthy game. It looks good and is challenging and fun.

    If you're a fan of both Sonic games and jumping style games I'd recommend this one, but otherwise, save your pennies for something original.

    This may be a casual game, but for skateboard fans it is so realistic it is almost as fun as the real thing. The best part is that you don't leave the skate park with bruises and road rash.

    Kudos to the developer for trying something that hasn't been done before.

    Overall, SpinCraft is pretty fun, but I just wish the controls were a bit better.

    So far, I'm finding Motley Blocks to be a blast to play, even though the "account required" part is a bit annoying.

    A refreshing take on the zombie game that while simple, and perhaps without longevity, is full of immersive atmosphere.

    This game is not going to please serious pinball players. It is more like a kids version of the tabletop game.

    It's easy and fun to explore, the games are simple, and you can use your earned coins to buy all kinds of new outfits and weapons.

    This would be a fantastic game if it had better controls.

    It may be cute, but the gameplay leaves a lot to be desired.

    If you are a fan of puzzle games, specifically these type of trapped room games, you will likely get quite a bit of enjoyment out of Edna and Harvey. Just make sure you go into it with a patient attitude and a desire to explore every aspect of the game, because that is definitely what is asked of players. This is not a game for those of you who are easily frustrated.

    While I was not a fan of the freemium mechanic, you can't beat an app that's free to play. Just keep in mind that you may only be able to play this game once every few hours unless you want to spend the cash to play more often.

    Overall, this game is a lot of fun for fans of zombie themed first-person shooter games. Unfortunately, it is so difficult that you get frustrated and wish for a med pack to help you survive, which you can only really get by paying real cash for.

    I really wanted to enjoy the game, but the control mechanics and physics are enough of a stymie that I simply don't want to play. I really do hope to see improvements in future updates that make easy things, like jumping onto ledges, actually feasible.

    The repetitiveness of this game becomes apparent all too quickly. The process goes from upgrading in the garage, to zipping through the level, and turning zombies into red smears. Rinse and repeat.

    Because of the fast paced gameplay, I feel like Swipe the Deck is oriented towards match-three fans rather than poker fans. If you're a match-three fan looking for a multiplayer game, I'd pick this up, but stay away if its single player gameplay you're craving.

    You won't be able to progress through this game without purchasing coins unless you want to spend a lot of time waiting. Combined with the advertisements on the bottom of the screen, I found Coin Army to be more irritating than fun. It also sent unrequested notifications, which I find intolerable.

    I kind of enjoy tapping away at these glass blocks anyway just to kill some time and working with thousands of others towards one ultimate goal.

    I'm a big Marvel fan, but I am really disappointed with Avengers Initiative. Marvel had a great opportunity here, but really screwed it up.
