King Kong is an excellent companion to the upcoming film, as it smartly tells the story, but gives you full control over the proceedings -- unless you count the game's drive toward the predestined ending. Playing as Kong is a delight, watching his beastly moves destroy dinosaurs with seemingly so little effort. Even the human sequences are good, even if they feel a little like a Persia game. (There are worse games to be reminded of while playing...) However, it must be said that King Kong is a bit short. I didn't exactly mind, as I don't mind console games that last eight hours -- but provide eight incredible hours of game play, like Sony's God of War, which I paid full-price for. King Kong is one of those rare example of short games worth their admission price, as the Kong segments offer a level of action fun not often found in mobile games.

Asphalt 6: Adrenaline is a fun arcade racer with a bunch of cars and tracks. If all you want is speed and exotic locations, this is the game for you. But let’s be honest, the Asphalt series is starting to get really familiar. Though it’s still reliable fun, the series needs to do something next time other than just offer more and more.

Wholly playable online multiplayer over Wi-Fi. Excellent track design with lots of stuff that goes boom. An all-new location exclusive to the iPhone version. And it's pretty smooth, too, considering how fast it is. (I played it on a 3GS, by the way.) But it just never gels.
