Scoff all you 
want at the fact that this app is a blatant marketing ploy; you still have to give developer Halfbrick credit for making Fruit Ninja: Puss in Boots worth the money. The gameplay is just as fun as it was in the original, and the new Bandito mode — which pits players against 12 random challenges — is a fun new gameplay style. Like the original, you can unlock new blades, but there aren’t many. And the actual Puss in Boots elements feel very tacked on. That doesn’t detract from the game, though. It’s still as fun as it was — only this time, it comes with some heavy commercial elements.

App Review: Jetpack Joyride
Jetpack Joyride is the 
epitome of the “one more turn” title. It may be somewhat simplistic in its gameplay and not have a ton of original elements, but the game is so well polished and executed that you can’t help but continue playing again and again and again. From the variety of bonus weapons — like the stomp suit or the bad as hog (a clever pun on the more objectionable term) — to the fun enhancements you can buy with coins (earned within the game or available via in-app purchase), it’s downright charming. And the inclusion of Barry Steakfries, a hero in other games by the developer, is a nice nod to the team’s dedicated fans. For a dollar, it’s impossible to wrong with this one.
