There are lots of different game modes in SCRABBLE for iPad. The single-player mode comes with three difficulty levels, and lets you take on the computer or just play on your own. Multiplayer options in SCRABBLE for iPad include a Facebook mode that lets you challenge your friends on the social network; local network play; Pass 'n Play, where you hand the iPad over after every turn; and Party Play, which allows you and your friends to use your iPhones as tile racks, and the iPad as the board.

Playing SCRABBLE for iPad feels very natural, and the simulation of the game has been carefully kept as close to the original as possible. Tiles are placed on the board simply by dragging and dropping them from your rack. Once you've made your word just tap Play and the points will be added to your total (as long as the word is valid, of course).

Other in-game options in SCRABBLE for iPad include a dictionary, tile swap, recall, and a Best Word feature that automatically chooses the highest scoring word from your rack. This latter option is handy but there's no option to disable it - creating room for cheating in Pass 'n Play mode.

The presentation of SCRABBLE for iPad is immaculate with lush high-definition graphics and slick menu screens. Unfortunately, the background music is very tedious but at least there's an option to play music from your iPod in the game.

SCRABBLE for iPad is as sweet a simulation of a board game as you'll find on the iOS platform.

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.

It's a second trip into Space for the annoyed avians, following on the heals of Angry Birds Space. Angry Birds Star Wars retains some of the Space physics of the previous release, and there are new special abilities, including the use of the force, and light saber-wielding.

Presentation

Fans of the original movie, A New Hope, will adore Angry Birds Star Wars. It follows the plot of the film, taking you to all the iconic locations, including Tatooine, Hoth, and the Pig Star (modeled on the Death Star). The Angry Birds are themed around the heroes such as Luke Skywalker, Obi Wan Kenobi and Han Solo, while the piggies dress up as stormtroopers, tuskan raiders and the like.

The locations and characters are gloriously recreated, and this, coupled with music from the original score, makes Angry Birds Star Wars the best presented version of the game series so far.

Gameplay

The basic gameplay in Angry Birds Star Wars is still the same as the original Angry Birds. You launch birds from a catapult at a structure in order to smash it and destroy the bad guys. Stars are earned based on how easily you achieve this, and progress to the next level.

There are more than 80 levels in Angry Birds Star Wars and getting through them will take you a long time, even though the first few levels on Tatooine are very easy. There are some fun bonus levels too, in which you can play as C3PO or R2D2.

The gameplay in Angry Birds Star Wars has been tweaked a bit from previous versions of the game. You can now use the force to slow down your bird in mid flight, or swipe your light saber to break objects, for example.

Verdict

Despite these interesting additional gameplay elements, there's no disguising that Angry Birds Star Wars plays very much the same as previous versions. While fans of the Angry Birds franchise will enjoy this, others will find the game repetitive, frustrating and tiresome.

There's no doubt that Angry Birds Star Wars is a lavishly-produced arcade game, which fans of both the game and the movie will fall in love with.

If you enjoyed Angry Birds Star Wars perhaps you'd like to see some of the other Angry Birds movie spin-offs we could expect in the future (according to us!)

Updated for 2012, it now features a survival mode, pushing it one step closer to the full Minecraft experience.

New features

The first release of Minecraft Pocket Edition was a very basic game, with a small selection of blocks and tools allowing you to build, mine and create but little else. Now you can choose between that gentle creative mode and survival mode. There are now more blocks available, including doors, fences and gates. In survival mode you have some infinite resources, and some you have to collect yourself. Night also features, along with the monsters that give survival it's name.

Small worlds

Infinite building blocks and torches mean that Minecraft Pocket Edition doesn't have the same pressure as the desktop version. There is still no crafting, but maybe the biggest disappointment is the size limit of the Minecraft worlds. You'll quickly reach the edge of the world, which make the game feel small.

Minecraft Pocket Edition looks and moves well, and the list of features is growing, making this a lot of fun. Hopefully as phones get more powerful, the game will be able to have bigger worlds!

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.

Candy Crush Saga is super-sweet free strategy game for iOS. Tiffi and Mr. Toffee need your help!

Gameplay

Candy Crush is a puzzle game where brightly colored candy takes the starring role.

Your task is to link a minimum of 3 candies, vertically or horizontally, so that they will disappear from the game grid.

Successfully doing this will allow you to accumulate points, which will give you access to new levels. It's a well-structured game and the difficultly level is well calibrated, so you'll get just the right degree of a challenge.

Playability

When you're playing Candy Crush, it's important not to get stressed by the time limits. If you do, you're likely to hit a bomb at a crucial point, loosing the game completely. Keep cool, and solve the puzzle before the time runs out!

Graphics and sound

Candy Crush, as you might expect, is bright, colorful and cute. That said, we think the graphics and sound are second-rate - it looks cheap and gameplay is jumpy and ragged, which is completely unnecessary and a real pity.

Conclusion

Candy Crush is an overwhelmingly popular game. It's quite likely lots of your friends are playing and sharing their progress on Facebook, so we can't blame you for wanting a go.

That said, we think Candy Crush Saga is a whole lot of hype over nothing. The gameplay is cliched and overdone, the graphics are poor and the whole game looks second rate. If you're looking for a cute timewaster for iPhone, you can do much better.

Get dressed to impress

There are four princesses to choose from, although only one is available to makeover for free, the rest have to be purchased in-app.

In order to get your princess ready for their big day there's a lot to do to get them looking nice. First, you treat them to a spa session, where you need to wash their hair before applying various skin treatments to get their face all smooth. Once you've done this, it's on to the hair and makeup section, where you pick a hair-do before applying eye, mouth and face makeup onto the princess. Finally, you need to pick an outfit and accessories to turn your princess into the belle of the ball.

In each section, there are plenty of options to choose in terms of treatments, hair-styles, makeup, clothes, etc. There are even more that are locked, which can be purchased via the app for you to use when you like.

Another nice feature of Princess Salon is the ability to take a photo of your princess and send it to a friend or share on Facebook.

Working your way around the salon

Applying the beauty treatments in Princess Salon is simple and fun. Along the bottom of the screen you see the available treatments or makeups, which you can browse by sliding across. Once you've selected one you just need to slide your finger across the princess' face to apply the treatment or makeup. Mostly, this works well although we experienced a couple of bugs whereby the makeup implement would get stuck and we either couldn't put it down or couldn't pick it up.

Dressing the princess is just as straightforward. The slider at the bottom represents the various types of clothing, and the available items for each type are displayed in a column on the right of the screen. Just touch one and it will change on screen.

Looking good

The overall app design of Princess Salon is fittingly prestine and elegant. All of the girls, who each represent a different continent, look beautiful. Although they aren't lifelook they look great in a Disney princess kind of way.

When your princess is ready, you see her appear in the ballroom at the prom in all her glory. It would be nice if this part of the game would animate or if you could zoom in to see a close-up of her face, as it's a bit static as it is.

The verdict

Princess Salon is a fun and engaging makeover game, which most young girls will especially enjoy. However, once you've been through all the outfits you might get a bit bored of the gameplay.

Watch this space for a full review of the game, meanwhile here's some more details about Modern Combat 5 based on what we know about the game so far.

What is Modern Combat 5 about?

Modern Combat 5 is the the follow-up to the successful Modern Combat 4: Zero Hour game from Gameloft. It's a kind-of Call of Duty for mobile game, packed with devastating weaponry, lethal explosions and spectacular settings.

Judging by the official trailer for Modern Combat 5, the new version in the series will be more explosive than ever, featuring all manner of weapons, helicopters, boats, and more. The setting, which appears to be Venice, Italy, looks gorgeously rendered. The city's serenity is doomed to be broken, however, by fierce explosions and thrill-a-minute action sequences.

Watch this space for more information about Modern Combat 5 when we have it.

It's the fourth in Gameloft's series of GTA-style open world games and the biggest of the lot so far.

Same old story

In Gangstar Vegas you star as a prize fighter who upsets a mob boss and must run for his life, before seeking to get his own back. It's an age-old tale and there's little originality in the way the story played out in Gangstar Vegas. The main character's personality feels a bit wooden and the script is pretty clichéd (some of the characters that appear are good fun, though). However, that doesn't mean that Gangstar Vegas isn't fun to play - quite the opposite, in fact.

Thrills and spills in Sin City

The game world in Gangstar Vegas is immense - incredibly it's nine times bigger than the previous game, Gangstar Rio. There are 80 different missions to complete in total, and they vary considerably in terms of gameplay, from prize fights to chasing bad guys on foot, to participating in street races. There are many challenges in Gangstar Vegas in which you can compete against others in online leaderboards.

The Quick Play mode in Gangstar Vegas allows you to part in one-off challenges, such as heists, brawls, survival and time attacks. It's great to be able to dive straight in and play in this way, especially if you've been away from the game for a long time and want to brush up on your skills before heading back into the main story.

The setting of Vegas makes for lots of fun, whether it's chasing bad guys down the strip at high speeds, or playing blackjacks in the casinos to earn more cash. As you play, you'll realize just how much there is to explore in Gangstar Vegas and the level of detail in the game world is impressive.

There are plenty of weapons to collect and upgrade in Gangstar Vegas, including guns, grenades, molotovs, flamethrowers, and baseball bats. The shop also allows you to change your look with new clothes, hair cuts, or even a chipmunk mask! Of course, you can buy vehicles as well, and the selection is very varied, covering everything from mopeds and trials bikes to monster trucks and tanks.

Taking to the streets

The controls in Gangstar Vegas are much the same as previous versions of the game. You walk around using an on-screen directional pad and there are action buttons for running, shooting, and interacting with objects.

The driving controls can be set up according to what you find easier, allowing you to choose between tilt, arrows or stick-based steering. What's great is that you can define different control systems for cars and bikes, so you could use arrow-based steering for cars and tilt-based for motorcycles if you like.

There's the ubiquitous city map, which shows you where missions are and displays various points of interest. Generally you can skip straight to a mission in Gangstar Vegas without having to drive to the start point, which is handy. A mini map in the corner of the screen shows your current position.

Viva Las Vegas

The graphics in Gangstar Vegas are very good, and rival those of the mobile versions of GTA III or Vice City. The city of Las Vegas is brought to life with an incredible level of detail and it really drags you into the story. Animation is great too and the accurate ragdoll effects make performing stunts a real treat. There are the occasional graphical glitches as with most huge games like this, but not enough to detract from the overall experience.

The characters look good, although the voice acting is poor in places. Be warned that bad language and adult themes litter the dialog, so Gangstar Vegas is certainly not suitable for children, and is classified accordingly.

Just like GTA, Gangstar Vegas features in-car radio, and the range of stations seems very heavily influenced by the Rockstar game series. There's some quality tunes licensed though, with something to suit everyone.

The verdict

Gangstar Vegas borrows so much from Grand Theft Auto that you'll forget it's a totally different game series. Of course, this is no bad thing and Gangstar Vegas is so big and deep that you'll struggle to find a better sandbox action for mobile - GTA included.

Taking place in Hollywood, the environments have a lot of cues from action movie sets. Much of what is on screen can be destroyed, and Zombiewood actually has bonuses for destroying items in each level. Visually the game has a cartoon look that allows for the main character to mirror the uber-hero with gigantic chin. There are different types of zombies with separate appearances that are recognizable so you know what type of zombie is attacking you.

Controls in Zombiewood are a little annoying because they do not always work like you want. Containing two controlling circles, you move with the left pad and shoot in specific directions with the right. You can purchase and upgrade different weapons from pistols to rifles, but they either cost a lot or use Gameloft's in-app currency.

The first four levels are easily unlockable, but other levels cost currency to play. This is annoying because you are forced to replay levels or use real money to unlock levels. The core of Zombiewood is a lot of fun, but forcing players to spend money is disappointing.

Zombiewood is fun until you have to spend money to continue.

Become the Minion of the Year!

In Despicable Me: Minion Rush, you play the role of one of failed evil mastermind Gru's loveable minions. Your mission is to run as far as you can in order to impress your boss and earn the title 'Minion of the Year. In order to achieve this you need to jump, slide, dodge and be as 'despicable' as you can.

Going further than most endless runners

The basic format of Despicable Me: Minion Rush is much the same as classic vertical-scrolling endless running games such as Subway Surfers, Temple Run, Sonic Dash and the like. However, there's plenty of twists on the basic dodge, jump and slide gameplay that make Despicable Me: Minion Rush a real treat to play.

You run through a varied game world based around the movie, which includes scenes based around Gru's weapons factory and residential areas. You must evade all the obstacles in your way, whether they are pipes, bombs, missiles or even other minions. You can knock minions out of the way to add multipliers to your points tally, which is based on the distance you travel. Besides this, you can bounce off springboards, slide down chutes and even fly through the air.

There are some fun mini games within Despicable Me: Minion Rush, include one with Gru's arch enemy Vector, and another villain who doesn't appear in the movie.

In Despicable Me: Minion Rush you collect bananas which you can use, together with game currency, to purchase power-ups, weapons and costumes. These unlock new dimensions to the gameplay such as flying on Gru's Rocket, riding a fluffly unicorn (in an amusing parody of Robot Unicorn Attack), and being able to fire frozen rays.

Even though Gameloft has done a great job to keep Despicable Me: Minion Rush entertaining, the gameplay is still repetitive by nature, although not as much as most other endless runners, especially since obstacles and environments change every time. The inclusion of social support with challenges and the ability to send funny minion taunts adds to the longevity, too.

Controlling your minion

Anyone who has played a vertical scrolling endless runner, like the ones mentioned above, won't have a problem picking up Despicable Me: Minion Rush. The controls are very simple, and are based around swiping left and ride to weave from side to side, swiping up to jump, and down to slide. Tilt controls are used for some parts of the game, such as where you slide down chutes in the factory.

On-screen instructions appear when you first start playing to explain the various controls and these are on the whole very clear, although one of the instructions for the Vector mini game was a little confusing (it seems like it says to swipe up whereas you actually need to tap the drone).

Just like the movies

Despicable Me: Minion Rush is an immaculately presented game. Fans of the movie are in for a treat because it manages to capture the essence of Despicable Me perfectly. It's not just that the 3D graphics are well rendered and look like the movie world - they actually feel right as well.

This is realized in a number of ways, from the use of original voice actors from the movie, through monitors that pop up in the background featuring characters from the film, to the hilarious antics of the minions who perform their strange little routines in the background as you play. Be careful because watching them clown around can seriously put you off your game!

One of the things that distinguishes Despicable Me: Minion Rush from ordinary endless runners is the way the camera angle can change as you're running, adding variety to the game and giving it a real cinematic feel.

The verdict

Despicable Me: Minion Rush is an accomplished endless runner that is highly enjoyable to play. Fans of the movie will love the game, since it makes great use of the license to create a fun experience with bags of charm. As is the norm with endless running games though, it ultimately becomes repetitive.
