W.E.L.D.E.R. Review
By Art Green
As a semi-competent writer, I have a certain love affair with words. I love learning new words when I read books or articles, and where better to display my etymological prowess than in the multitude of word games that have come out on mobile devices? The latest is W.E.L.D.E.R. from Ayopa Games, which melds word construction and word search to provide a competent, if somewhat basic experience, which most word nuts will enjoy.

Snap Escape: The Epic Swing Review
By Art Green
Have you ever played through a game, and as the minutes crawl by, think to yourself: "Is this it?" Perhaps you've just got a Strokes song playing through your head, but more than likely, you're playing a game like Snap Escape. The game relies on one simple idea and never adds anything new, ending up as a game that you'll soon forget after you realize how shallow it is.

Super Bit Dash Review
By Art Green
Horizontal platformers have held some of my favorite games in the mobile space to date. Monster Dash from Halfbrick stands out as perhaps one of best. Now Super Bit Dash from FakePup has stepped up to the contestant table. With its mix of fantastic controls and almost endless appeal, this is one game you owe yourself to check out.

King Cashing: Slots Adventure Review
By Art Green
If you've ever been to your nearest casino, you'll immediately feel at home in King Cashing: Slots Adventure. The game has a lot in common with your average slot machine, and adds a dash of RPG elements to spice up the experience. While King Cashing isn't the deepest game out there in the mobile space, you'll definitely get your money's worth in this adventure.

Chronicles of Merlin Review
By Art Green
Fantasy is one of the richest areas of exploration in video games. In Chronicles of Merlin, a freemium release from Koram Games, they tackle all the familiar trappings: swords, horses, armor, arrows, castles, banners, etc. You'll attack bandits, armies and gain heroes in a game that is high on tasks that need to be managed, but light on tools to help you track those tasks or any sort of depth that will keep you coming back.

Lost Monkey Review
By Art Green
One of the things that social game players have come to accept is a level of tedium or repetition in the things that they do. Farmville, for example, has you harvesting your crops and maintaining your farm on a daily basis. Lost Monkey on the other hand, includes all the repetition without the guilt of spoiled crops and wasted effort. Unfortunately, the core game is not good enough to keep players coming back.

Urban Fleak Review
By Art Green
With every genre of games, you have games that try to crib from others while introducing a few of their own concepts. Urban Fleak shares similarities to titles such as EA's Max and the Magic Marker, with your ability to draw your way through solutions to puzzles. Unfortunately, Urban Fleak does not bring similar amounts of polish to EA's effort. While there are some solid puzzles to be had, technical issues mar what could have been an enjoyable game.

Quarrel Deluxe Review
By Art Green
There is no shortage of mobile games out there that are centered on words. From Zynga's Words with Friends to Popcap's Bookworm Adventures and all their variants in between, you've got plenty to choose from in the genre. With Quarrel Deluxe, however, UTV Ignition and Denki have mixed speed and strategy to the genre in an addictive, challenging title that you might never master.
