Set aside its shortcomings and you’ll enjoy some solid space combat with souped-up ships, smart weapon options and challenges for the perfectionist.

The best arcade racer on iOS, bar none, with stunning visuals and beautifully tuned controls. Insanely fun from start to finish.

Beautifully rendered action abounds, but the spectre of ‘style over substance’ prevents this game from reaching Infinity Blade’s pedestal.

This aging classic lacks refinement, but it’s still a rousing navigational quest.

Hellish difficulty only serves to make this one of the most replayable gyro games around. A fantastic techno feast.

Easy on the eyes and ears, with a quietly compelling nature that keeps you playing far longer than you’d expect.

Perfect for playing on the go, but don’t be deceived: the bite-sized levels are packed with challenge.

A fun, and occasionally inventive rhythm-action game, but the IAP system leads to repetition and feels distinctly like gouging.
