Gamezebo 8.0 Ragdoll Blaster 3 (iPad)

Pros: Great graphics and sound. Fun physics puzzling gameplay. Very clever level designs. IAP system is totally optional. Cons: Physics system seems to enjoy freaking out every now and then.

Gamezebo 6.0 Raid Leader (iPad)

Pros: Lovely character models and still images. Drag and drop gameplay mechanics work nicely. IAP system is fairly affordable. Cons: English translation isn't all that great. In-game environments don't really do much. Gameplay feels rather shallow. Audio won't turn on or off reliably. Zero replay value.

Gamezebo 9.0 Call of Cthulhu: The Wasted Land (iPad)

Pros: Amazing graphics and sound. Deep, challenging turn-based strategy gameplay. An outstanding adaptation of Lovecraft's Eldritch Horror. Recent update solves all the major problems present in the first version. Cons: High level of difficulty will undoubtedly turn some people off.
