Welcome to the weekly iPhone Quality Index (Qi) games round-up, giving you the LOWdown on the HIGH scorers every Friday on these illustrious pages.
As you may already know, Qi trawls the web for iPhone game reviews from the worlds most respected online and print sources.
Qi then applies its own magic formula to each site (such as 148Apps, Macworld, and Whats On iPhone) to establish a single definitive Qi score for each iPhone app and game.
Sonic Dash
Speeding around the corners and chicanes to take second place on the Qi games podium this week comes Segas Blue Blur himself and a number of his go-karting chums.
The man or rather hedgehog who sold a billion Mega Drives in the early 90s has made a triumphant return to the iPhone track, with Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing dodging traps and firing missiles en route to an 8.9 Qi rating.
Most mascot kart racing games live or die by their multiplayer modes, which, according to AppGamer, is "where the game shines the brightest. Choosing between a straight race or a battle game, local or internet based matches are easy to set up and a joy to play."
Line-em-up
Nipping at Sonics, Knuckless, and Ryo Hazukis, ahem, Tails is Spilt Milk Studioss Hard Lines, a Snake-inspired light cycle casual game starring plucky underdog Lionel (whose surname isnt Messi, incidentally).
Your brave length of yellow must fight for his proverbial life in outer space by eviscerating all other lines, collecting their tasty leftovers, and resisting chuckling at the enemys counter quips.
In between smiles at Hard Liness brassy one-liners, Gamezebo gushed: "In taking a classic concept and packing it to the brim with personality and playability, Spilt Milk Studios has developed an absolute winner through and through."
To be continued
Four parts platformer, six parts puzzler, Continuity 2: The Continuation is Ragtime Gamess follow-up to the critically lauded indie Flash experience of a remarkably similar name.
Rearrange the 50 levels by shrewdly sliding the on-screen pieces with your digits, and watch your stickman character race to the exit door. Well, thats the theory. Good luck, soldier.
You can get the up-to-date information about which games are reviewing best over at the Quality Index.
