A mix of influences this random shouldn't work but the willingness to blend genres and experiment with multiplayer pays off despite the flaws.

It's relatively original but this unusual puzzler does nothing to justify more than the 59p it should've cost as a smartphone game.

The intent is clearly there but a shortened development cycle prevents this from expanding on the solid foundations laid by War For Cyberton.

As a full price game it'd be a ridiculous con, but if you really must have a Wii Remote Plus then £5 for some half decent mini-games isn't the worst deal on the Wii.

A low-brow mix of Resident Evil 4 and No More Heroes, that is far from the best from either creator but still a fun and subversive shooter.

As repetitive and predictable as any movie tie-in, but the core combat is sound and Green Lantern's powers are handled well.

Outdated action platformer that despite all its talk of madness is far too mundane in both design and visuals to justify its mammoth playing time.

Backwards sequel that sabotages or removes all the best features from the last game and wastes one of the best arsenals in gaming.

The best Dungeon Siege ever is a more of a compliment than you might think in this accessible and fun action role-player.

Gears Of War meets Diablo turns out not to be a classic pairing after all, or at least not when it comes to this low rent hotchpotch of other people's ideas.

If anything a step back from the already generic original, with combat and powers as underdeveloped as its characters.

A perfectly judged makeover for what remains possibly the best arcade adventure ever made.

Euphoric mix of interactive gameplay, visuals and music that proves not only the wider potential for Kinect but for video games in general.

No game could've been worth this long a wait but the sheer level of incompetence and inanity is the only way that Duke Nukem Forever impresses.

Wonderfully presented and impressively imaginative 2D action puzzler, that almost seems too good for DSiWare.

Definitely one of the lesser entries in the Dragon Quest franchise, but still a loving remake for those that can stomach the overfamiliarity.

As miserable a waste of a good licence as we've ever seen and the most bug-ridden and unimaginative download of the year so far.

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.
