Tap Fish - Android, iOS

Breed and grow fish, make money to buy more. Fun and addictive at first through little to do later on due to high need for cash only "fish bucks". Fish bucks are extortionate, £2 for new breeding tank, £1-£5 per single fish, can easily spend £50+ for not much.

Value for money: 2/10

Wow like mmorpg , childish but for all ages. A little imbalanced and repetitive, but still enjoyable. Well made, fun and addictive if only for a few hours.

Towers Solitare - Windows Phone 7 (Not to be confused with different versions of this game)

Bad version of great game. Clunky controls and slow animations spoil wat should be a fast, addictive card game. Could be made much better with minor gameplay changes, looks nice though.

Sonic the Hedgehog 4, Episode 1 - iPhone, Windows Phone 7

Looks and feels like Sonic, would prefer old style, but still good. New moves work well but view could be bigger, real controls would help too. Decent game once used to controls, xbl points nice bonus, sadly too expensive for short game.
