The idea of Tron Racing is based around the light cycle motorbikes from the movie. The game thrusts you into the Grid to battle Recognizers.

Unusually, Tron Racing scrolls from right to left, rather than the traditional left-to-right approach in side-scrolling shooters. You must throw your identity disc in order to kill enemies, while avoiding anything they fire at you. Along the way, you must collect items to progress through the four levels, and pick up power-ups to improve your weaponry and defenses.

The graphics in Tron Racing are pretty good and manage to recreate the style of the Tron Legacy movie. You use the directional buttons or 6 and 4 keys to move up and down to dodge, while pressing the center button or 5 key to fire.

Tron Racing is quite fun to play, but unfortunately it's over too quickly, since there are only four levels in the game.

Sky Force offers classic gameplay elements wrapped up in a gorgeous design, including textured 3D elements, gorgeous explosions and an advanced particle system – making it a very attractive mobile game.

Sky Force's gameplay will be immediately familiar to anyone who played arcade or console games a decade ago. The landscape scrolls away beneath you, giving the impression of flying at high speed while you take charge of your ship, barreling from side to side and nipping forward and backwards, all the time facing an onslaught of hundreds of enemy vehicles, ships and gun emplacements. All of these have a single target: you! This is tried-and-tested scenario employed by Sky Force allows for development of your own game style.

The sound effects and music in Sky Force are a little on the basic side, but respectable enough that they're not a drawback from the main feature: the graphics. Every device we tested this game on responded well to the graphically intense design. Infinite Dreams' benchmarking tool, which tests the capabilities of your phone, Palm or Pocket PC before play, is a good addition that helps ensure that the Sky Force's graphics are tailored to your device's capabilities. This is a feature that other mobile developers would do well to implement.

While the Palm and Pocket PC versions of Sky Force both feature excellent stylus-based control, handling the game is easy on all platforms, especially if you make use of the awesome 'autofire' option… whatever anyone says, it’s not cheating!

Sky Force offers a high level of enjoyment on a wide range of devices and doesn't compromise on graphical quality just because it’s running on a small screen. In all, it’s a fun and well designed game which we highly recommend.

In N.O.V.A. 3 you lead hero Kal around space stations and surrounding planets in order to try to stop Earth from a terrible fate. N.O.V.A. games have often been mocked as a cheap rip-off of Halo, but to say that about N.O.V.A. 3 is doing it a massive disservice. It now stands on its own as the reference for quality shooters on iOS.

The graphics are crisp and realistic, aside from a rare few glitches where you fall through environments. The voice over acting is of good quality, and even the story has been carefully constructed to add tension to the gameplay. Previous versions have centered just on other planets, whereas N.O.V.A. 3 has lots of scenes on Earth, which adds a new dimension to the gameplay.

There's plenty of alien scum too wipe out in N.O.V.A. 3, but luckily you'll be able to call on plenty of weapons, kinetic forces, and the help of your team to destroy them. Controls are as natural as they can be on an iOS device, and can be customized to the hilt. The default control is based around moving with your thumb and aiming and shooting with your right one. There are separate buttons for changing weapons, throwing grenades, using kinetic attacks, etc.

Besides the Campaign mode, N.O.V.A. 3 also features online multiplayer, where you and up-to 11 others can take part in battles in six different modes. It's good fun - but only if you're pretty handy with a blaster, since online opponents are generally top class.

With superb graphics, exciting gameplay and a compelling storyline, N.O.V.A. 3 has everything you could wish for in an iOS sci-fi shooter.

You have to complete missions by eliminating specific targets in each level, but it quickly becomes repetitive because every enemy looks the same. The gameplay in Special Police Down of Terrorism is fast-paced, and you have to empty the magazine of your gun many times to bring down terrorists.

Enemies will appear on screen, and at the same time innocents will try to escape so you have to defeat the terrorists without harming the civilians.

Even with multiple environments, the game is repetitive and feels very simple.

If you like games like Sky Force and AirStrike then you'll love AirAttack HD. As with these other games, it's a 3D vertical scrolling flying game where you must gun down planes as well as take out military vehicles and bases on the ground.

There are four different control systems in AirAttack HD: Touch, Relative Touch, Tilt, and JoyPad. All are very easy to master because essentially the plane flies itself and fires automatically. That doesn't mean AirAttack HD is easy though. With 24 different types of enemy to negotiate, all firing incessantly at you, the trick is to dodge their weapons by skilfully flying around the screen.

Granted, there are only two planes to choose from in AirAttack HD, but they can be upgraded by earning cash, meaning that this isn't much of an issue.

Graphically, AirAttack HD is excellent, boasting detailed backgrounds and realistic aircraft. We were impressed at how smoothly it ran on our HTC Desire HD. Even when there are lots of enemies and missiles darting around the screen at once, there was no noticeable lag.

The thunderous orchestral music that plays in the background is very rousing, and helps to make AirAttack HD an explosive gaming experience.

AirAttack HD Part 1 has stunning graphics, slick controls and addictive gameplay. It's everything you could want from a mobile game.

The game sets players into the role of John Slade, bounty hunter, who is after Dr. Edgar Simon, who is a crazy genius and leader of his own army. While the plot of the game creates the setting and overall theme of the game, Shadowgun focuses on action. Players will be moving from cover to cover, peeking out long enough to annihilate everything in Slade's way.

With a claim of six hours of gameplay, Shadowgun could have a lot to offer players. Mixing the cover system with a variety of weapons creates an addictive experience that can also be slightly frustrating.

Shadowgun’s main emphasis on action is tempered with the impressive visuals. Using the Unity Engine, character and environment models are detailed. Add the lighting effects into Shadowgun and the game is one of the best looking mobile games.

Controls in Shadowgun use an on-screen movement pad and separate fire/reload/weapon switch buttons. While it feels strange at first, the close proximity of the buttons becomes second nature quickly. It is a little difficult to precisely aim in Shadowgun, but the game is forgiving enough not to kill players from the start.

Shadowgun is still one of the best shooters for mobile devices and plays well on phones and tablets. Prepare for battery drains with all the action happening on screen though.

Shadowgun is a solid shooter for mobile devices.

There's both a Story mode and an unlockable Endless mode in Army Sniper. Both are based around the same principle - aim at the bad guys then shoot them. This is easier said than done for several reasons: new terrorists are popping onto the screen all the time, some of them move around a lot, and positioning your aim takes a fair amount of skill.

Aiming in Army Sniper is done by tilting your Android device around. It feels a bit cumbersome at first and perhaps a calibration option would be useful to make it easier. The key to succeeding in Army Sniper is to center in on your targets when looking in normal view then tap the screen to enter the aiming view. Firing is done by tapping an action button on the right of the screen.

The overall presentation of Army Sniper is pretty good. The graphics aren't groundbreaking but some of the backgrounds are well drawn. The music and sound effects in Army Sniper are of good quality. The main gripe users might have with the presentation is the poor written English used in the storyline of the story mode. Some of it is so bad that you have trouble following what's happening!

Overall, Army Sniper is great fun to play and makes for an ideal stress reliever!

On the surface, Overkill is a post-apocalyptic first person shooter that requires players to shoot everything on screen. But what Overkill really happens to be is a shooting gallery game with lots of blood. Players move a static image of different guns around the screen and fire at emerging enemies.

The game contains 100 rounds and 18 weapons to use. These weapons can be customized in various ways like longer magazines, front grips for stability, and different scopes. Weapons have to be purchased, but Overkill entices players by giving demos during rounds with limited ammunition.

Overkill does not actually contain a lot of animation and uses an enemy aimed timer system before they fire at you. Enemies fall to the ground quickly and fade out before the next set slides or appears behind cover. The blue circle counts down before enemies fire their weapons. In early rounds, single fire rifles can make short work, but later rounds definitely require new weapon purchases.

The challenge of Overkill is to earn money as fast as possible, purchase new weapons, and somehow survive the different enemy types. Even though it is simplistic, there is an addictive feel to the game, trying to survive a lot of rounds.

What might be the only problem is the accuracy of using a finger to move the gun icon around the screen. It is difficult to retain good aim and common to take fire before defeating the enemy. Since this is the majority of the gameplay experience, it can become annoying to have an enemy lined through the sights and still not affect him.

Even though the experience can be a little shallow, Overkill is fun to play in bursts. Grinding through the entire game would become frustrating though.

Overkill is a decent FPS clone, but could use a little more variety.

Having managed to get the game to run (by deleting everything else from our test phone’s memory – Sky Striker’s a real resource hog), the first thing we noticed was that it overrides your phone’s profile settings. Even on a phone set to silent, the game starts with full volume music. This irritation isn’t unique to Sky Striker but it’s an irritation all the same. Developers ought to design games which work with your phone’s current set of options, rather than completely ignoring them.

Having adjusted the volume of the music, we gingerly started a mission, read the briefing and selected a plane. Suddenly, we’re mid flight with the nose dipping violently toward the ground… a sharp tug on the joystick (pushing ‘down’ on the phone’s middle button) saved us… but for how long?!

Once you’ve got the hang of the controls, it’s time to try and enjoy the game. Sky Striker’s ‘War on Terror’ storyline, smart, quick graphics and choice of three planes makes it an exciting, addictive and enjoyable challenge. Avoiding causing civilian deaths while simultaneously dodging enemy fire and trying to attack military positions is tough at the best of times but on a mobile phone it’s really hard work. After a while of squinting at the screen, fumbling with the buttons and trying to steer this supersonic jet, you start to wonder: is this really the best sort of game to be developing for a mobile phone?

As a proof of concept, Sky Striker is an impressive feat. It combines nearly all the features of the sort of game we played 12 years ago on PCs and fits them onto a cell phone. It’s very clever but unfortunately, it’s pretty fiddly and just not that much fun to play. Added to that the bad experience with the sound and you’re left with a pretty (and not very highly recommended) memory leech.

The core gameplay of Dead on Arrival is to kill zombies while earning money to purchase new weapons. Dead on Arrival sends waves of zombies at the player while they try to fix doors and explore the hospital where the main character is hiding.

Zombies are divided into different classes with smaller, faster zombies and fatter, slower zombies. As the wave number increases, it is more difficult to kill them and requires stronger, more expensive weapons.

The hospital also contains traps that players can use, but they cost in-game currency which is earned during the round. Players can also buy the money as an in-app purchase.

Visually, Dead on Arrival is a great looking game. While it has some unpolished parts, like uneven textures, the game presents a great set piece for the action of the game. Dead on Arrival features an option to change the quality of the graphics in the game, and while there is a small difference between the low and high settings, the game does benefit from running the game at lower quality.

Controls are two on-screen circle pads with one for movement and the other for directional firing. It is a simple system that works well with zombies lunging from all directions. Although even with the discrete aiming, the game throws so many zombies at the player it is difficult to accurately aim bfor fear of being overrun by zombies.

The different weapons in Dead on Arrival range from regular firearms to freeze-rays and mini-guns. The variety keeps the game interesting, though the reload times on the larger weapons can mean life or death. Players can only hold two weapons at a time and it is even possible to double the same weapon.

Dead on Arrival is a very distinct take on a zombie game. It is similar to other wave or round based gameplay systems, but the exploration in the game gives Dead on Arrival a new dimension of trying to escape or at least find a better weapon.

Dead on Arrival is a great zombie shooter; it just needs to be a little more balanced.

As you might have guessed, Sniper sees you as a sniper trying to take down terrorists threatening the peace of your city. You’ll need nerves of steel - see a terrorist and tap the screen where you want to shoot. A sight will appear, and you correct your aim by tilting the phone back and forth. This might feel slow, but remember that moving a phone and aiming a sniper rifle aren’t exactly the same thing. Tap the trigger the bottom right corner to shoot.

The aim of Sniper is to take down as many terrorists as possible in a limited time. There's a timer and a health indicator, and if you kill all the terrorists before time runs out, you'll progress to the next level. Sniper comes with basic help, and there’s an online community where you'll be able to add your scores and view other players’.

Sniper is a fun game even though it's not very advanced. The graphics are a bit simple, and at times we thought that the controls weren't very sensitive, especially when it comes to pulling the trigger. We didn't enjoy the game’s music either, but despite these faults, Sniper's still an original, interesting prospect and a good game for your Android phone.

As far as being a killer goes, snipers are really cool. Have all the fun and none of the moral dilemma with Sniper.

MetalStorm: Online is a free to play game with premium features, meaning you can essentially pay for better equipment in the game, or get it more slowly by playing and winning. When you start you're immediately taken through a tutorial. The controls are simple, a mix of touch and tilt, and seem to work well.

MetalStorm: Online works with GameCenter, so you can easily play against your friends, or you can find players at random to challenge to a dogfight. Multiplayer games are just the right length, and you are normally paired with an opponent with a similar equipment level. The gameplay is pretty simplistic, and strangely the single player games are more dynamic.

Fighting one other plane can often result in flying round and round in circles chasing the other plane, like a dog chasing it's tail. Evasive moves in MetalStorm: Online can be executed when missiles are incoming, but it's hard to just when to do it, as you have no radar. Earning MetalStorm experience points is painfully slow, and weapons upgrades need replacing a lot, making you progress towards that new plane even slower.

MetalStorm: Online is a simplistic Afterburner-like jet fighting game, which is fun for a while against friends, but requires too much grind to progress and has uninspiring environments to fly around.

There are a lot of shooters on Android, but none of them have the same type of action that Gun Bros have. An impressive title, Gun Bros combines the craziness of non-stop shooting and constant moving.

The purpose of Gun Bros is to survive waves of different enemy types, gain experience, and earn currency to buy new, powerful weapons. The gameplay nature of Gun Bros requires a lot of patience and repetition. Surviving a few waves is easy with the help of the CPU controlled partner, but later waves mixing different enemy types becomes a strategic attack and retreat battle.

Gun Bros presents impressive visuals containing 3D polygonal characters with highly rendered environments. Even with a massive amount of movement on screen, there was no noticeable lag in gameplay.

Leveling up and purchasing new weapons does make Gun Bros a little easier, but each of the different worlds contains different enemy types and wastes no time sending armies against the duo. Control in Gun Bros is defined by two circles on the touch screen. One is for movement and the other is for directional fire; so it is possible to strafe and retreat while firing in a specific direction.

Gun Bros is free, but supports in-app purchasing so it is possible to spend actual dollars for items in game like weapons and armor. There are multiple ways to earn in-game currency as well.

Gun Bros is an amazing arcade shooter, offering a lot for old school arcade fans.

Assaulter is one of the most intensive of the 2D shooter genre. Taking many cues from the Metal Slug series, Assaulter only requires the player to do one thing while playing: move the character on the screen. Assaulter takes care of aiming and destroying enemies leaving players to watch the immense amount of action happening on screen.

The game is very much a reference to the Metal Slug series with the graphic art using sprites. The levels contain a lot of color and pixeled detail, but most of the time players will be watching a huge amount of explosions. The audio in Assaulter is also an homage to old action movies where the hero could blow anything up and seemingly survive any circumstance. Most of the time, players will be hearing explosions, but in the gaps of enemies exploding or the environment crumbling, there is a soundtrack.

Assaulter contains new weapons, upgrades, and armor that can be bought with money earned in the level and with three different characters that all gain experience and attain new levels with different styles, players have a lot of replayability.

The 2D sprite shooter is known for quick sessions and fun gameplay, Assaulter follows the same trend very well. It is simple and addictive without much precise skill needed.

Assaulter is a great game for fans of the genre and plays with a hyperactive speed.
