Super Falling Fred takes the original falling title and polishes absolutely every aspect by packing in new power-ups, a bunch of unlockable characters and a challenge that scales to nightmarish levels, all at the low cost of 'free'.

Retro Racing says it all - those who have played top-down racers in just about any form will slip right on to this title with ease and find themselves enjoying the nostalgic, yet distinctly modern feel of the game; it's just a shame it's all over too soon and without even a thank you for having completed it.

Floop is a fun physics challenge that holds back on the challenge, but makes up for it with its cute charm and interesting levels.

Very reminiscent of the Cannon Fodder series, Tiny Troopers 2 is a simple to control real time strategy game that does not take itself too seriously at all, and ends up being quite enjoyable because of it.

Reminiscent of games like Angry Birds and Fragger, Monster Island shines as a serious contender in this genre.

Battle Group combines shoot'em-ups with a Missile Command system of combat to create something entirely unique and challenging in a way that teases you to play just one more level.

A throwback to 80s action movies and arcade gaming when the test of a man was how high a score you could achieve by punching things. Simple arcade fun.

GoatUp fits in nicely with the Llamasoft pantheon of abstract titles, though this vertical platformer certainly feels 'straighter' than most even despite twists like killing off enemies with your offspring.

Though we do miss the multiplayer mode, LEGO The Lord of the Rings is a sturdy port of the console game, and a great way to explore Middle Earth on your mobile.

Battleheart Legacy is an attractive, fully-featured action-RPG with elegant controls, let down only by its slightly laborious combat system.

Unlike so many other puzzlers aimed at younger audiences, Snail Bob goes to the painstaking effort of hand-crafting every stage, introducing oodles of new mechanics to explore and test out - while it's no huge challenge, it's the perfect fodder for growing minds.

If you've had the chance to play YOU DON'T KNOW JACK games before you'll know what you're in for here; if you've not had the pleasure, strap yourself in for some high energy quiz-show fun.

Extinction Squad will have you dashing out to wade out in to the gore in your best mountain-hiking boots in order to save the animals too stupid to save themselves.

Blaze: Fire Puzzle manages to almost nail the zen-like puzzle gameplay of titles like Zen Bound perfectly and hopefully more content or sequels will bridge the gap completely.

The Dark Knight Rises follows in the wake of a film that is already being regarded the best in the series, meaning it was always a tough act to follow; it's a shame more time wasn't spent on polishing out the game's many quirks, but it remains a solid action title thanks to its focus on story-missions and finely crafted encounters.
