Including Halloween, Christmas, Valentine's Day and St. Patrick's Day, Spring, Easter, and Summer versions of the game too, Angry Birds Seasons plays exactly the same as the original. Your mission is to destroy the pigs that are wedged in a series of elaborate constructions. You do this by aiming and catapulting your birds at the structure in order to smash it and hit the pigs.

The most recent update to Angry Birds Seasons, Winter Wonderham, has 25 levels based on around the festive period, including Santa pigs, destroyable presents and lots of snow!

It's a shame the developer doesn't experiment a little more with the gameplay as well as the graphics in these seasonal updates. That said, the difficulty of the levels in Angry Birds Seasons is enough to keep you distracted until next Christmas!

Angry Birds Seasons is a fun update to the popular series of games, and the latest Christmas-themed version is good fun.

Card-based warfare

Unlike other popular Android combat games like Modern Combat or Brothers in Arms, Rivals at War doesn't require you to pick up a gun and shoot at the enemy. Instead, you just sit back and watch as your squadron competes in missions against another real-world player.

The gameplay in Rivals at War centers around trading cards rather than all out action. You purchase packs of cards using game currency which contain soliders with differing abilities, special attacks, customizations, etc. It's then up to you to select which of these to use when you go into battle. You can level up your soldiers and military arsenal to make your strike force even more potent.

It might sound a bit boring but actually Rivals at War is strangely engrossing and just watching battles can be hypnotic. Of course, there are times when you're getting destroyed by your opposition when it feels frustrating not being able to do get involved in the action.

While in-app purchases of cards and upgrades certainly helps you through the game, thankfully it's not a necessity to progress and as long as you're prepared to wait sometimes you can improve on your own.

How to play Rivals at War

When you first start Rivals at War you'll be walked through the logistics of the gameplay so you can learn as you play. Essentially, you just collect your card pack, choose which special items you want to use then click 'watch' to see the battle take place.

On the battlefield you have a number of viewing options. You can tap a particular soldier to follow them or use the satellite view to see the whole battlefield from above. It's possible to zoom in and out to really study what's happening out there.

Slick presentation

Rivals at War looks great, both in terms of the setup screens and the battlefield itself, though perhaps the action shots aren't quite as classy as many of the top third-person shooters for Android. But the game performs well, with decent animation and realistic sound effects.

In terms of the match-making of online players, Rivals at War does a pretty good job and we found most of the battles we were involved in were fairly matched, making for an exciting gaming experience.

The verdict

If you're a fan of tactical card battle games and you don't mind enduring the frustration of not being able to participate on the battlefield you'll no doubt enjoy Rivals at War. If you're looking for a straight action shootfest you won't find anything for you here.

Princess Makeover is exactly what it seems, a game for your iPhone where you can take a pretty average looking, spotty girl and transform her into a princess. After your hard work, your ugly betty will have flawless skin, perfect make-up and a beautiful wardrobe.

Who's the Celeb? is a simple, low-quality celebrity guessing game for your iPhone.

You'll have seen the game mechanism before - you're given a scrambled picture of a famous person. Once you've identified that person, you spell out their name with the letters you're given, before moving on to the next round. Who's the Celeb? also gives you hints (lifelines), but you've only got a limited number before your coins run out, at which point you have to buy more with real money. If you have no idea who is in the picture though, you're going to need to shell out pretty quickly.

Facebook features

The app provides a simple way to add status updates, upload photos, send messages, chat with Facebook Chat, check into places, and much more.

The hub of the Facebook app is the news feed, which offers a timeline of recent posts from Friends, with shortcut buttons to post an update, put up a picture, or check in based on your current location. There are also shortcut buttons for friend requests, messages, and notifications.

To access even more Facebook features you can slide the screen to open up a bookmarks sidebar and quickly view and select things like your friends list, groups, events, apps, and games.

Facebook for iOS also makes it easy to quickly upload photos taken on your iPhone or iPad 2 camera to your Facebook account. Browsing photo galleries using the application is also very easy, and you can simply swipe through albums with your finger.

Chat

Unfortunately, there are some things about the Facebook app that still need improvement. For instance, the chat option is very clunky and confusing. You can open a chat window and text people, but then these also show up in your message inbox, which gets quite annoying.

Chatting on the iPad-optimized version is much more comfortable than on the iPhone, because chats appear in a sidebar on the left of the screen, allowing you to continue viewing the rest of Facebook at the same time.

Photos look great

Photo galleries look particularly neat on the iPad, where the large screen format is used to give real focus to images. However when uploading photos, there are no basic image editing options when you upload photos, such as crop, rotate or resize.

Conclusion

Overall, the Facebook app is a more enjoyable experience than using the Facebook web page on your iPhone or iPad.

The point of Carmageddon is to win. This is accomplished by completing laps, destroying your opponents, or killing all the pedestrians in a level. Adding other features like a replay editor, achievements, and iCloud support makes the design of the game even better.

Fun at the beginning

Actual gameplay lacks a lot of polish. The driving controls are unresponsive, and the actual driving is very imprecise. To make things more difficult, the lack of an in-game map makes finding opponents difficult.

You cannot really win by completing laps, and Carmageddon focuses on carnage. Playing Carmageddon is fun at first, and the many upgrades available make things interesting, but each level can take so long to complete that interest can start waning.

An average racing experience

Carmageddon sounds like it should be a fun game, but it is actually very limited. There are multiple ways to win, but you have to spend a lot of time in the game to really progress a little.

The in-app purchases can unlock more cars and races, but it tries too hard to remind you that the game is supposed to be nostalgic to forgive problems in the gameplay.

A reminder of the past that needed to be updated

While the graphics may represent the original game, the visuals look old. That adds to the frustration because the levels are kind of bland and even with the various environments, they are all basically the same.

A classic in more ways than one

Carmageddon spends so much time trying to say that it's an original and classic game, but the port of the game is missing a lot of polish and proper updating to properly

The swines in Bad Piggies are on the hunt for eggs again. This time they're on a desert island and must construct vehicles to help them negotiate the mountains, caves and other hostile terrain. It's your job to help the piggies piece together their makeshift craft to guide them through each level.

There are 75 levels in Bad Piggies, set in the same format as Angry Birds (i.e. you need to complete a level and try to get three stars in order to progress to the next). At the start of each level you're given various materials with which to construct a vehicle. These objects include crates, wheels, umbrellas, fans, and TNT.

The idea of Bad Piggies is to make the construction at the top of the hill, then release the vehicle towards the goal line. As it flies down the hill you can use the objects you attached to help manipulate the craft and guide the pigs to the stars and ultimately to the goal.

Bad Piggies is a completely different challenge to Angry Birds. The hit-and-miss approach of the catapults has gone and instead Bad Piggies requires more mechanical thinking. This in turn makes the game less appealing for some. You can no longer just turn on the game and start wildly flinging your fingers around.

Bad Piggies is more of a labored process of working out what materials you have and how to join them together to deal with the obstacles facing you and collect all the stars. Some would argue that the satisfaction you get out of Bad Piggies doesn't warrant all this brain energy.

Graphically, Bad Piggies is bright and colorful and in keeping with the Angry Birds style. There are fun cut scenes featuring the hapless piggies, and the music is chirpy and catchy.

Bad Piggies is a challenging physics-based puzzle game, though it's often complex tasks may put some people off.

Is Running with Friends different from other endless runners?

The basic format of Running with Friends is the same as the seemingly endless list of endless running games. On first play it will remind you instantly of games such as Temple Run or Subway Surfers. You need to run as far as you can by dodging, jumping, or sliding under the obstacles in your way.

The setting for Running with Friends is San Fermin, Spain, home of the famous "running of the bulls" festival. So, instead of trying to outrun a hoard of monkeys (as in Temple Run) or an angry stationmaster (Subway Surfers), this time you're being pursued by angry bulls.

Other gameplay twists include the ability to grab hold of bulls and ride them to earn bonuses, plus you can perform some pretty spectacular leaps over buildings.

But the biggest difference between the gameplay of Running with Friends and most other endless runners is that this game is that it lets you compete against other players around the world, be it your Facebook friends, or random strangers. The idea is that you take part in head-to-head battles with your buddies to see who can run the furthest - and this proves very enjoyable and addictive, especially since your friends are represented by runners in the game itself so you know that when you've gone past them you've beaten their score.

There are weekly leaderboards where you can see how you've fared out of all your Facebook friends and players you've ran against during the week.

Running with Friends is free to play, though in-app purchasing is available. Game currency allows you to continue runs from where you fell in order to improve your distance. You can also buy new avatars for your runner.

Is it easy to play?

Part of Running with Friends' addictive charm comes from its simplicity. The gesture controls are much the same as Temple Run and Subway Surfers: swiping left and right allows you to dodge obstacles and turn corners, swiping up performs a jump and swiping down performs a slide to go under an obstacle or break an object. There's a handy interactive tutorial at the start which guides you through everything.

Navigating the menus in Running with Friends is very easy and once you've signed in with your Facebook creditials or registered for an online account, challenging and playing friends is a straightforward business.

How does it look?

Running with Friends is very well presented. The design of the cartoony game world has a distinctly Spanish flavor, from the police cars down to the street signs. This, coupled with the flamenco-style soundtrack gives it real charm and almost makes you feel like you're on the streets of San Fermín.

The verdict

Running with Friends is yet another endless running game and in that respect it is very unorignal. However, the social twist on the genre, coupled with the exceptional treatment of the bull running theme, combines make this a really enjoyable game that's hard to put down.

A strategy town building game, you have to complete objectives to expand your town while earning money to continue building.

In the beginning on Ice Age Village, it is very easy to build and expand the village through the quick goals that are given.

Ice Age Village quickly introduces the main characters and allows you to build a good amount. The leveling is quick in the beginning of the game. As you increase your level, you can get access to new animals and other items in the game.

Eventually Ice Age Village requires a lot of waiting or purchasing “acorns” that are used to quickly bypass the time requirements.

Graphics in Ice Age Village are like the movie with slightly less detailed visuals. All the animals are recognizable from the movie series.

Gameplay is easy and can become very addictive.

The problem with Ice Age Village is that it uses the same time-based objectives and in-app purchases to continue quick leveling. Otherwise you have to wait a long time before you can accomplish anything else.

Ice Age Village is a fun and addictive game for kids, but they may get frustrated when the game requires more time.

As you'd expect if you played the last version, FIFA 13 features a wealth of licensed teams and players. In fact, there are 30 leagues, 500 licensed and more than 15,000 real players crammed into FIFA 13 for iOS.

Game modes in FIFA 13

Several game modes from the console/PC version are present in the iOS version of FIFA 13. You can play a quick match (including training mode and shootout), compete in a tournament, test your tactical skills in Manager mode, and now compete online against other players around the world. Though the online mode is nowhere near as in-depth as the console version of FIFA 13, it is a welcome addition to the mobile version.

Another fun feature of FIFA 13 is the challenge mode. Here you are thrust into a real life match scenario (based on actual games that have taken place) and must try to turn the tie around in your favor.

Look and feel

The graphics in FIFA 13 are much improved on previous mobile versions of the game. Players look more realistic not just in their facial features, but also in the way they move and collide with each other.

In terms of controls, FIFA 13 is quite fiddly, using an on-screen analog stick and four action buttons, which change depending on whether you're attacking or defending. The most significant addition from FIFA 12 is the Skill move button, which allows you to perform dazzling tricks by touching the button then performing touch gestures on the on-screen grid that appears.

More social features

FIFA 13 has more social features than previous versions. Not only can you add friends and then challenge them to matches, but there is an option within the instant replay viewer that allows you to upload the rerun to YouTube. This is perfect for showing off your silky skills and great goals with the world.

With it's wealth of game modes, polished graphics and realistic gameplay, FIFA 13 is a must-have for all soccer fans.

The idea of Pou is that you must look after the little critter, feeding him, playing with him and making sure he is clean. It's a more sophisticated version of the tamagotchi virtual pet toys that were popular in the 90s.

Your Pou character has four 'needs' that need to be met and sustained all the time: Food, Health, Fun and Energy. The level of each of these is represented by an indicator at the top of the screen. You can feed your Pou by dragging and dropping food into its mouth, clean it by rubbing virtual soap on it, and put it to sleep when it gets tired by turning off the light.

The most enjoyable element of Pou is the games section, where playing the games also serves to fill up Pou's Fun meter. There are seven different mini games in here, including a match-three game, dropping food, free fall and a musical Simon remake.

Scoring in the games is rewarded with coins, which you can use to purchase extra items for your Pou (food, clothing, objects, etc.) If you want to fast-track your way to the goodies then you can buy extra coins.

As with any real life pet, the novelty of playing with Pou wears off after a while but this game is adorable while it lasts.

What is Robot Unicorn Attack 2 all about?

The principle of Robot Unicorn Attack 2 is much the same as the first version of the game. Your objective is to run as far as you can by leaping over and dashing through the various obstacles that lie in your way. Besides platforms, these obstacles can include sheets of glass and even bad guys who fire sun beams at you. Unlike the first game, in Robot Unicorn Attack 2 you have the power of flight to assist you.

You get three lives (or 'wishes' as they're called in Robot Unicorn Attack 2) and the idea is that you try to travel as far as you can within these lives. Along the way you need to pick up blue stars, which can later be exchanged for power-ups and upgrades to pimp your robot unicorn. Stars can be supplemented (and generally need to be) with in-app purchases to get hold of items such as new bodies, wings, horns, manes and tails.

Robot Unicorn Attack 2 adds a multiplayer mode whereby you can play as a good unicorn (Team Rainbow) or a bad unicorn (team Inferno) and take part in a global daily challenge of good versus evil. If you win, you'll earn some in-game currency.

How to play Robot Unicorn Attack 2

Robot Unicorn Attack 2 is very easy to pick up and start playing, even if you never tried the first game. The unicorn automatically runs to the right and you can perform a jump by tapping the right side of the screen or a dash by tapping the right side. A combination of a jump and a dash will make the unicorn fly.

The first time you play Robot Unicorn Attack 2 you'll be taken through the controls in the form of an interactive tutorial level.

Dazzling eye candy

The presentation of Robot Unicorn Attack 2 is imaginative to say the least. The unicorn itself looks great and can be customized to the hilt, while the dreamlike levels and backgrounds are like something out of The Neverending Story. You'll encounter plenty of rainbows, ice sculptures, space whales, dolphins and Levithian seahorses - all gorgeously designed.

The great thing about Robot Unicorn Attack 2 is that levels change on a daily basis, which helps to add some spice to the repetitive nature of the gameplay. Every day the design of the level will be different, meaning you'll have to learn where all the platforms and obstacles are all over again on a daily basis.

One of the crowning gems of the original game was its soundtrack, which featured Erasure's magical hit, 'Always'. Unfortunately, in Robot Unicorn Attack 2 the song is absent and you need to pay for it if you want (you can choose from a range of soundtracks to buy). The default backing track in Robot Unicorn Attack 2 is infectious and similar in style to Always but the constant looping of it drives you a bit crazy after a while.

The verdict

Robot Unicorn Attack 2 is an imaginative endless running game and this sequel adds plenty of new interest such as the upgrades, online challenges and levels that change on a daily basis.

Ultimately though, it's a repetitive game and once the novelty of flying unicorns and mythical worlds has worn off you'll tire of the monotonous running.

Your mission in this raucous iPhone game is to destroy all the green pigs by catapulting birds at them. This wouldn't be too difficult, except for the fact the hogs are holed up inside fortified castles which you need to smash into in order to enter. As the levels progress, these fortresses become ever more hard to break down, so Angry Birds requires a bit of lateral thinking as well as a steady aim.

To fire a bird you simply pull back on the catapult, adjust the trajectory, then release your finger. You can shoot four birds per turn, and if you don't destroy every pig then you'll have to start the level again. There are dozens of levels, so it'll be a long time before you get bored of Angry Birds.

As well as being great fun to play, Angry Birds looks the part too. Graphics are colorful and fun, and the bird noises and sound effects are hilarious. One of the few criticisms we have of Angry Birds is that it's very repetitive. It would be nice if there were an option to customize levels or characters, for example.

If you feel like playing the game on a larger screen, why not download Angry Birds for PC and play it in Windows?

Overall though, Angry Birds is enjoyable enough to put a smile on the face of even the most sullen iPhone gamer.

What is Angry Birds Friends all about?

The basic premise of Angry Birds Friends is much the same as any other Angry Birds game and you should know the form by now - shoot birds with a catapult to bash down the pigs' constructions and wipe them all out.

Just like the Facebook-only version of Angry Birds Friends, the game includes some special power-ups that help you in your quest, such as laser-sighted catapults, turbo-charged birds and the ability to make piggies tremble so they fall over.

Though the gameplay is the same as Angry Birds, the format of Angry Birds Friends is very different. Instead of making you play through a series of levels until you finish the game, the levels in Angry Birds Friends are updated with new ones every week. When you play a level you're not only trying to destroy all the piggies, but you're also trying to beat the best score for that level of all of your Facebook friends who have played that level.

Besides competing with your pals for gold, silver and bronze trophies for each level on a weekly basis, Angry Birds Friends features daily challenges where you can scoop rewards.

Is it easy to play?

Angry Birds Friends is just as easy to pick up and start playing as any other title in the series. There are five tutorial levels (which must be completed) at the start, which walk you through the basics but the only thing different to you might be the power-ups - unless you've played the Facebook version of Angry Birds Friends before. These appear as icons along the top and can be activated simply by tapping them.

The online element of Angry Birds Friends is clear to understand. Once you've signed into your Facebook account and agreed to link it with Angry Birds Friends, all of your friends who are competing are shown in a leaderboard on the right of the screen, allowing you to see how many points they attained on the current level and where you relate.

You can invite friends to join in with Angry Birds Friends and even send them gifts through the app. If you already play Angry Birds Friends on Facebook, your scores using the mobile app will be synced across to Facebook.

How does it look?

As you'd expect from a Rovio game, Angry Birds Friends is very slick and well presented. The cartoony graphics are as cute and wacky as ever, and the classic soundtrack has been included (whether this is a good thing or not is down to your personal preference!)

The Tournament Resultspage is also well designed and makes for a bright and colorful way to view your performance against others.

The nature of going head-to-head with your buddies on Facebook makes Angry Birds Friends an absorbing challenge that you'll have tons of fun with. Just don't expect anything new in terms of the gameplay itself.
