Once again Final Fantasy day is here with the release of Final Fantasy XIII-2! I was wanting to get the collector edition, but the stores I went to didn't have it. I ended up at the nearest Best Buy and picked up the game and the collector strategy guide. (Yes I was jammin to Final Fantasy music on my iPhone all the way there!) Also Best Buy included a small novella, Episode I, with the game that is supposed to go through the events between the games. I'll check it out later, in case there are any spoilers. So far I been playing since I got home, except for this short break. HAPPY FINAL FANTASY DAY!

This first person shooter looks really good for iOS and the control isn't half bad. It's hard to be as precise as on a computer, but the auto targeting system helps but doesn't make it too easy. This could be a fun one once you get used to the touch control. It is more precise then some games like this. So far this is the best FPS I've seen on my iPhone, I haven't tried it on my iPad yet though.

This one is another virtual dual stick shooter. It works better then some, but the game is slow paced and it takes a lot to take down Terminators. Eventually you run into too many that it's hard to avoid their lasers and destroy them. This got old quickly due to crappy control.

This game sort of plays like a dual stick shooter. One virtual stick moves you around, and another works the weapons. Unfortunately the way this game does it makes it hard to fight of large groups of zombies. Especially with a melee weapon. This seemed fun at first, but the zombies get the better of you quickly because of the control.

This was a brief play on my part. The graphics were okay and it played like most first person shooters. Just don't use the gyroscopic control. This seems like it'll work good at first, but they didn't implement it to well. I just found myself walking into everything

This is a fun free ninja chain reaction puzzle game. You need to slash a ninja to cause a chain reaction of throwing stars to kill all the ninjas on the screen with a single blow. This is a fun way to kill time once you get the hang of it. It can be challenging on some levels, and has enough levels to keep you busy for a long time. Plus I found it very informative on the chain reaction properties of ninjas.

This is a great zombie edition of Contract Killer, just in time for Halloween. It's pretty cool with a all new zombie survival story where you have to protect people from zombies in different situations. The game is fun and the game play works good. My complaint about this game is the fact you get so little money from missions. This doesn't help you when you eventually need better and better weapons. There were you need to actually buy the addons for the game, or you can play forever trying to get the money needed in the game. But I guess that is why it's a free game. And this was a really fun game until I reached that point.

This is a fun little game that can get addictive. It a simple driving game where you have to see how far you can drive while zombies are trying to jump on and knock over your vehicle. You can use other crashed cars to knock the zombies off as long as you don't crash, or you can tap the screen to shoot out the window closest to the zombies. You can get weapon upgrades as you get further, and there are some different levels to try. You steer the vehicle by tilting your device, like other racing games. It has pretty responsive steering if you need to swerve. Overall for a free app this one is pretty good and worth getting.

After playing a lot of this game I agree with other fans that Front Mission should only be a tactical RPG series. This game seemed interesting since it was an action mecha game more like Armored Core. But like most mecha games the control is sluggish and awkward, and this game is worst than most. After a while I did get used to it and it was fun for a while. But then you start having storyline changes to your mech's equipment, which most of the time made it weaker than what I was using. This was annoying and made levels harder than they should have been. Combine this annoyance with some bad level design and your controller might not survive long. The mecha customization isn't bad and you can get some sweet mechas, until the storyline modifies it for you. The story was okay, but not as complex as past games and the graphics were okay for PS3. It looked a lot like a smoothed PS2 title. The sound was pretty good though and helped get you in the battles. All around this is okay at best. And unless you are a hardcore, play every Front Mission game fan, I probably wouldn't recommend it. But if you are, I might not recommend it either.

This is definitely one of the best looking games for iOS. It's awesome to play a Unreal Engine 3 game on my iPad 2! It even runs great for iPhone. The game play is pretty cool and the touch screen controls work great. The game is different than I was expecting, but it's still cool. The concept is interesting, but can get a little repetitive. It's mainly how you build your character up to defeat the bad guy. There isn't a lot of story but the concept is interesting.
