Totally don't care for mobile games, but this, for sure, is one very helpful resource to comb through this pile of rabble.

This is a wonderful resource (as far as I have read). I am happy to see various nuance incorporated into the reviews!

I use it to vet ganes for my kids at a glance. I still allow them to play some but I want them going in with eyes open to the machinations going on.
