Lots of great iOS titles have been released this month so Lee has been very busy on the final... ermm, digital frontier.

Frederic: Resurrection of Music
Price: £2.49
Download

Imagine you're playing a stylised cartoon while the gameplay is basically Guitar Hero to the music of Chopin. That's what Frederic: Resurrection of Music is. Over the course of nine melodies you get to experience Chopin's life story. The famous compositions have been mixed with various styles and the end result is surprisingly good. This is my iOS game of the month.

Woody Woodpecker

Good old Woody is back. And his return is triumphant. This is yet another one button platformer in the vein of Tiny Wings and you complete courses as fast as you can and compete online with other players and lots of other famous cartoon characters.

Star Marine Infinite Ammo

Do you remember the old Contra games? In this game you jump and gun your way through a bunch of retro scenting arcade levels. Great graphics, and well crafted audio, but unfortunately the controls aren't ideal as you cannot move or adjust the joypad. If you're longing for a bit of a trip down the shooting memory lane, then you should give it a try.

Gather Gems
Price: 69p
Download

Hold on to your horses! A game with different coloured balls? And physics based puzzles? What a rare find on AppStore. Well, as you can imagine my expectations weren't sky high as I started playing, but great one touch controls and pool-like mechanics makes this a game that really captures you. It's addictive and the perfect travel mate.

Soul Calibur
Price: £10.49
Download

In almost every way imaginable SoulCalibur feels like a full on version of the classic Dreamcast title (even better looking with higher resolution textures). There are 19 playable characters with alternative costumes, and the typical arcade mode that can be set to different difficulties, number of lives and so on. Time Attack let's you beat the game as fast as possible so you can post your best on the Game Center leaderboards. Survival sends a waves of enemies your way as you try and survive for as long as possible. Extra Survival gives you only one chance as you die with the first hit. Unfortunately, there is no multiplayer, but if you want a great singleplayer fighting experience this one is for you.

Smash Cops
Price: £1.99
Download

Here is another crazy racing experience where you see the cars from a bird's eye view. This time around you're the cop and you're doing the chasing and what really stands out are the controls. You can opt to control the car by simply pushing behind it, or by using a joypad. It's arcade racing and the car controls much like a ball. The game oozes of charm and is fun to play, but until the developer has updated it with more tracks it is a bit short unfortunately (it takes a couple of hours to complete it).

PuzzleJuice
Price: £1.49
Download

PuzzleJuice has been given yet another update, and if you haven't gotten to know this game yet, it is high time to do so. It's a mix between WordFeud and Tetris. As you eliminate lines of blocks, the blocks get letters and you have to form words with at least three letters to get rid off them. It's hectic, brain twisting, and very entertaining.

Star Warfare
Price: 69p
Download

This is the game that has swallowed most of my time this month. At its core it is a horde mode like experience with characters that look like Master Chief but with big heads. The surroundings and enemies appeared inspired by Starship Troopers, and it all works without a hitch. You slaughter enemies in order to buy better equipment and bigger guns in order to take out even more enemies, and so on... You can play it with up to two friends online or locally, and at a low entry price it's a great buy if you're looking for braindead arcade action.

Kingdom Rush
Price: 69p
Download

This is the world's greatest tower defence game. It beats my previous favourites Tower Defence and Sentinel 3. Not because you can upgrade your towers something outrageous, or thanks to advanced skills you can learn, but because of its charm. The extremely detailed little characters, and the great voice acting loaded with references to games an movies make for a wonderful experience. The controls are near on perfect and with a latest update there are now even more levels. If you own an iPad you need to get this game as soon as you can and watch the hours fly away.

VR Mission HD
Price: £1.99
Download

Do you remember the original Metal Gear? The one that came out on Nintendo Entertainment System? If you do, then you will be glad to know that this game borrows some mechanics from the classic game and adds new ones as well. Sneak, kill and solve puzzles as you make your way through the 16 levels. The developers are promising continuous updates with more levels, and that's a good thing as it leaves us wanting more.
