Less a prequel and more a rerun, but this remains one of the most fully-featured and best presented Japanese role-players on the App Store.

An ambitious and morally complex role-player, but one still limited by a poor script and half-broken game mechanics.

A near perfect combination of rallying old and new, that gives precedence to neither and remains accessible to all.

A typical Fallout download that buries a few interesting new ideas and locations beneath a patchwork of overfamiliar, and increasingly outdated, content.

Technically inept in many ways but there's an earnest charm to the action that proves far more entertaining than higher budget rivals.

A great version of an okay fighting game might not seem the best of recommendations, but this a surprisingly worthwhile alternative to Street Fighter.

Highbrow parody or the best lightsabre game never made? Suda51's deconstructionist classic manages to be both.

The video game equivalent of a concept album, and a hugely successful mix of visual, music and gameplay influences.

A stunning technical achievement but also an evolutionarily leap in adult storytelling and intelligent action gameplay.

Simple but enjoyable co-operative fun, but despite its looks this 2D shooter lacks the pace and ingenuity to trouble the best in the genre.

Gorgeous 2D art still can't forgive the needless repetition, but while the novelty lasts this is a great little brain dead brawler.

Whether it's more or less value for money than usual is up for debate but in purely game terms this is the best MX Vs. ATV yet.

There are some innovative ideas here but poor balancing, restrictive matchmaking and too little content overwhelm the positives.

Not the greatest, or best value for money, version of the game but a surprisingly decent port that still has all the same undead charm.

The weakest Lego game so far suffers from both a lack of variety and a movie license that fails to build on previous successes.

Borrowing so obviously, from so many classic games, was always a risk but this stylish platformer pulls off its theft with some élan.

An almost blasphemous waste of the thunder god's potential, in this predictably cheap and cheerless movie tie-in.

A superb action puzzle hybrid that works much better on the Xbox 360 than it did on the DS, making it one of Treasure's best ever games.

Neither rip-off nor bargain, but Treyarch and Activision are clearly playing things safe - despite the excesses of Call Of The Dead.

For a brand new Nintendo franchise this is short not just on content, but also compelling gameplay and a sense of fun.

It might be a 'proper' game this time, but this lacklustre Spore spin-off hasn't got anything like the same sense of fun or ambition.

Top Spin 4 wins this year's tennis trophy but this more arcade style alternative is still a valid alternative with some great gimmicks.

It doesn't lack for ambition, but in terms of finesse, innovation and execution this remains a poor advert for HD style shooters on the Wii.

Still one of the series' most influential and enduring entries, but this latest repackaging offers very little that is new to celebrate it.

Not as perfectly formed as the original, but close enough - with some of the best story-telling and voiceover work in all gaming.

A remake more than a reinvention, but one that retains all the simple gameplay and outrageous gore that made the original games fun.

Offensive both in terms of language and diluted potential, although saved to a degree by its strong team-based action.

Despite the return of Zipper this repeats all the same mistakes of the last game and seems even more old-fashioned and generic as a result.
