World War I has never been so much fun in this successful mix of Tower Defence and shoot 'em-up action.

It's one step forward and two back in a sequel that seems almost ashamed of its own unique features.

An infinitely better game than you'd expect, but one that falls just short of true greatness.

Simpler, shallower but more accessible, this will divide fans but should engage the less committed.

If you're tired of music games this peculiar platformer is no reason to keep your plastic axe either.

An improvement on the earlier echochrome and another abstract but engaging puzzler for the PSP.

An interactive movie where the gameplay is as basic and two-dimensional as the story and acting.

Being Boney represents a more linear, but more accessible, experience for would-be European dictators.

Sega's legacy deserves a better celebration than this competent but unremarkable Mario Kart clone.

Embarrassingly poor Japanese role-player that manages the impossible task of playing worse than it looks.

An interesting script and missions can't save this miserable morass of repetitious role-playing.

The scuba diving sim isn't a crowded genre but this makes a good effort to dominate it all the same.

A worthy alternative to Braid with its own unique personality and some of the cleverest puzzles around.

It's not the backward step of the PS3 version, but this tactical shooter still lacks real advancement.

There are some clever ideas here, but like a good chestburster they haven't been given time to gestate.

You won't miss Phoenix Wright at all in this winsome, if still unnecessarily frustrating, spin-off.

Beautifully bizarre retro graphics can't hide the rough edges on this real-time action strategy.

It's a better shooter, but the overfamiliar plot and setting makes for a less interesting game overall.

The works of both Dante Alighieri and David Jaffe are defiled in this shallow and puerile actioner.

Sega's new dumbed down sequel isn't a disaster but it requires little skill and proffers little satisfaction.

A very slight improvement on the original but this is still a deeply flawed and unlikeable role-player.

A masterclass in how not to do a retro remake, from the graphics to the controls to the tedious difficulty.

One of the better puzzle downloads on DSi, but still unlikely to hold your interest beyond a few hours.

Don't let the charity aspect fool you - this is an excellent, if shallow, puzzle game in its own right.

It's not much of a sequel but this remains a superior mix of role-player, shooter and survival horror.

A real misstep for Level-5, with tedious battles and an equally uninteresting plot and characters.

Yet another slice of downloadable content that's well below the quality of its parent game.

You'd need a very thick pair of rose-tinted glasses to appreciate this frustrating retro 2D shooter.
