Welcome back to a semi-regular feature here at GameCritics.com: TouchTalk. While this series was inspired by one of my old features, the Bargain Basement, I've got an all-new focus for an all-new phase in gaming. Instead of highlighting discounted gems in the used section of a retail shop, I'll be reviewing downloadable mobile games and apps that you might want to check out… and maybe some that you'll want to avoid.
HIGH Zoning out while in the zone.
LOW An underwater, generic Jetpack Joyride.
WTF Sisyphus metaphor too obvious, depressing.
HIGH Making a tower of shoulder-standin' buddies is as cute as a kitten sandwich.
LOW Dealing with the scoring system saps a lot of joy from the game.
WTF The "Mama" character is pretty amazing. Why can't more mothers be enormous, gelatinous blobs who spew bipedal underlings?
HIGH The orphan Annie quest, which is humorously referential and also cute.
LOW The tedious, difficult, and somewhat buggy Pippin Apple quest line.
WTF I'm supposed to study a Thongolith?
