    Actually, according to OneManLeft's website, every tune except for the "classic" one is completely original.

    Oh, and here's another Quickie Review (I changed the format a bit):

    App Name:Civilization Revolution
    Overview:A turn-based strategy game in which you grow your civilization from anciennt times to the future.
    Overall Rating:8. A great addition to any strategy fan's collection.
    Gameplay:9. Lost of strategic depth, and the fact that warfare is optional is a nice touch.
    Controls:6. It works, but several annoying interface elements that keep the game from being intuitive.
    Graphics:7. Colorful and stylish, but very low resolution.
    Value:9. A fun game to come back to over and over.
    Sound:8. Not much sound to speak of, but the effects are clean and the voices are fun to listen to.
    Addictiveness:10. Once you understand what's going on, it's nearly impossible to put down.
    Touchscreen/Accelerometer usage:7. Touch menus work nicely, but it's easy to accidentally move units where you don't want them.
    Other comments:If you didn't get the game while it was free, I can assure you that it's worth $6.99 to any strategy fan.

    I see your point but what I meant was that the graphics aren't 'beautiful' but they suit the game well as 3D graphics or pixel sprite graphics simply wouldn't work.

    Also I personally didn't have a problem with the controls but some people did. All but the classic mode music isn't original as stated on the onemanleft website.

    I will edit my OP and make my reasons clear :)

    Magnetic Shaving Derby

    App Name: Magnetic Shaving Derby
    Genre: Arcade, High Score
    Overall Rating: Great for 5 minute bursts
    Controls Rating: Touch or Tilt
    Graphics Rating: Very 8-bit, I like it, some may not
    Money Value: It's a buck, well worth it.
    Sound Rating: High tempo 8 bit arcade game type soundtrack. fits well
    Addictiveness Rating: Relatively high, IMHO
    Touchscreen/Accelerometer Rating: The controls are difficult and loose, but that is what makes the game challenging
    Length: 2-10 minutes a match
    Gameplay explanation: drag or tilt a magnet pulling a razor over a guys face. You need to shave him, but not cut him. Lots of powerups.

    That's a good QR- it explains the gameplay well, and makes me want to buy the game :).
