I'd have rather it had gotten a bit more challenging earlier on. I felt like all of the trickier puzzles seemed to never come, and I was plowing through zillions of the early levels way too easily, which got kind of tedious. Hex - I just wish there had been a steeper learning curve. I loved the music, too - great to tune out with headphones as you puzzle it out. You really need to work out the physics of the level and determine how much cannon force to use, and which part of the obstacle to tackle first. This game is crazy-addictive! I love problem-solving and I had so many little moments of frustration - followed by joy as I realized I'd been going about the scenario all wrong. You tap anywhere on the screen that you want your doll to be fired - closer to the cannon for a less powerful shot - and further away for a more powerful one. It has a nice look to it, I like the way your ragdolls flop about and pile up on the ground when you fire a bunch of them in a row. You'll need to use the elements within each level - such as ice, additional cannons, gravity portals, see-saws, or air vents - to send your ragdoll home. This is a puzzle game that will see you shooting ragdolls out of cannons to hit a target, while navigating a variety of obstacles. And a big thank you to beethy on our forums - who suggested that game to us! It gets a little repetitive, though - I'm giving it a 7. It's a good little game, though - and it definitely has that addictive quality of constantly getting those upgrades to beef up your ship. Just get me back to the pew pew action already! You will find yourself skipping through a lot of the dialogue, though - however when you do stop to read it can actually be quite funny - but there was just so much of it I rarely bothered. These help to make Space Miner feel less like a souped-up version of Asteroids and more of a genuine game in its own right I thought. and you really notice the difference once you've applied an upgrade. You'll use the ore you collect to purchase upgrades for your mining ship - and these range from nuclear reactors for more power, better engines, to additional guns, shields, scanners. and generally make life difficult for you by showering you with gunfire while you attempt to complete side-missions - like, saving tourists or activating a bunch of satellites. You're not alone out there in space, though - pesky androids will try and take you out, as well as taking your precious, precious ore. You'll be mining space ore that's found within the asteroids you blast to smithereens by pulling it into your ship with a nifty tractor-beam - movement of your ship is controlled by a virtual directional pad on the screen, which is responsive, but maybe not quite precise enough. You'll also need to locate satellites to download navigation data to unlock new space sectors which increase in difficulty the further into space you go. It's sweet, asteroid-shooting madness as you navigate your mining ship through asteroid fields to help your Crazy Uncle Jeb pay off a nasty debt to the bank. With that in mind, we picked a few of the more popular games that actually caught our interest - as well as taking the advice of some of our forum-goers.įirst up, Space Miner: Space Ore Bust. Then even more people buy it thinking 'Well, everyone else is buying it, so - it must be good!' A game might be high in the list simply because it's cheap.

We've been getting more and more requests to review games for the iPhone and iPod Touch - so we thought we'd take a look at some of the top games on the app store to see if the PSP and DS are in any danger of getting shelved just yet.
