It won't hold your attention for long, but you have to applaud its ambition. [June 2013, p.79]

Too flat to truly recommend. [June 2013, p.79]

Puts many retail games to shame. [June 2013, p.79]

One of the best eShop games since launch. [June 2013, p.78]

You can even upload your most violent successes to YouTube. [June 2013, p.77]

Blasting away pulsing nasties is fun and becomes enjoyably challenging in later stages, but the high price and the lack of Cross-Buy are symptoms we'd rather have avoided. [June 2013, p.77]

Addictive and fast-paced. [June 2013, p.77]

Kill, level up, customize. It's hardly Brain Training, but this is explosive and fun. [June 2013, p.76]

There's zero excuse for the criminal lack of multiplayer, however, especially for the price point. [June 2013, p.75]

Great sequel-teasing final shot though. [June 2013, p.75]

It's certainly not worth losing weeks to. [June 2013, p.75]

It's borderline slapstick at times. [June 2013, p.75]

Fun and funny, the spirit of Castle Crashers lives on in this mischievous co-op treat. [June 2013, p.75]

Archaic design spoils good ideas in this shoddy squandering of one of the hottest licenses going. [June 2013, p.74]

Enthusiastic beat-'em-up good for newbs, but with confused design principles. [June 2013, p.73]

A good technical effort and a decent game but it's not as entertaining as its Wii U predecessor. [June 2013, p.73]

The battles are fun, but sitting through cutscenes quickly becomes tiresome. [June 2013, p.72]

Terraria deserves to stand shoulder to shoulder with Minecraft as a sandbox classic. [June 2013, p.70]

Some great sniping action surrounded by ropey stealth sections and enemy AI. [June 2013, p.69]

Simplistic, but terrifying and atmospheric. Survival horror in the truest sense. [June 2013, p.68]

A superb game that will consume every spare minute of your time. A must-have. [June 2013, p.66]

Hardly a keeper, but fun and undemanding all the same. [June 2013, p.63]

The App Store gets yet another endless runner (in this case a flyer). Great visuals, but too little variation, an insanely pricey IAP to unlock everything and occasional lag, drags the experience down. Still it’s an enjoyable (and free) snack, when you need to pass a few minutes with some hefty arcade-gaming.

We didn't realise quite how much we'd missed Micro Machines until we downloaded this tidy little racer. [May 2013, p.89]

Here in touchscreen form, navigating the angular architecture from the game's first person view point can be finicky. [May 2013, p.89]

This pixelated city building title packs just enough humour and style to elevate it above free-to-play also-rans and into the territory of being genuinely addictive. [May 2013, p.89]

There's still plenty of retro fun to be had. [May 2013, p.89]

Not Jackson or Tin Man's best, but still brilliantly nostalgic fun. [May 2013, p.88]
