    Despite a few concerns surrounding the finer points of the controls, you can probably guess that we were rather pleased with our time with Frenzy Pop. You'll need a little bit of patience to climb the brick wall the game throws up for you far too early in the game, but if you persevere with it you'll end up with a very rewarding game that proves that precision gaming need not be the preserve of traditional controls only.

    If you're a Brain Age veteran, you know what to expect. If you're new to the series, the price of admission is just right and worth a shot.

    A nice bounce-back for the brand and a return to simpler, more fun times. It's a great game with multiplayer, and the single player mode can be entertaining if you don't mind the lack of true competition.

    While it would've been nice to have some form of train control or situations to resolve, Pocket Trains is a well-polished simulation that fans of this sort of game will enjoy.

    Not everyone enjoys the criminal lifestyle, but for those of us who dig the fantasy, Gang Lords is a welcome addition.

    While there is nothing particularly exceptional about Dungeon Explorer: Warriors of Ancient Arts, there's also no major flaws.

    Still, if you're happy to pay for an experience that genuinely charms and intrigues for a short time, you could do a lot worse than sneak this onto your mobile.

    It's a fun if not twisted game. We just wish the designers included more than nine in-game achievements. Other than that small and borderline silly issue, Karoshi is a unique puzzle game that also serves as a reminder to never miss vacation time.

    BackStab is without question one of the prettiest iPhone and iPad games we've seen, full of gorgeous set pieces, impressive water and fire effects and detailed characters. It might as well be Pirates of the Caribbean, minus Captain Jack Sparrow.

    Throw in evil minions, boss fights and plenty of colorful eye candy, and Bucketz is one of the more intriguing games for smartphones and tablets, a smartly designed and cool puzzle experience that packs a solid challenge while offering up hijinks along the way. An essential pickup, indeed.

    Free games don't get better than this.

    It works, but right handed people clearly have an advantage, since the developers neglected to include an option for left handed gamers.

    Topia World Builder is as fine a toy as any videogame out there, and is just as deep as your imagination is prepared to travel. If you need at least some direction in your gaming, you may be frustrated before you uncover its wonders, but for those who are prepared to dig a little deeper the game has plentiful treasure to be unearthed.

    Considering how disappointed we were with Generations, Lost World is the Sonic game 3DS deserved. The wealth of tricky environments, hidden items and even four-person races for ambitious players make it a worthwhile purchase, even at $39.99.

    The virtual controls, meanwhile, are much better than we expected.

    The only thing working against Bleach: Dark Souls is familiarity. You've seen most of these options before in Blade of Fate. Aside from that, this is a true winner for fans of the anime, Treasure fanatics and fighting purists.

    Leaps and bounds better than the previous edition, and a worthwhile recommendation to anyone who loves golf.

    Zombie Catchers is a fun and unique title. It's very creative in its approach to the genre, and it's a blast to play. The amount of waiting you have to do to play gets really annoying and the game constantly makes you take breaks because of the wait times.

    Overall, Mega Man ZX Advent reinvents the wheel in a way, but it still spins just as well as it ever has.

    By its nature, Groove Racer isn't a hugely sophisticated racing experience, but it is a fun one nevertheless. Some of the tracks can be a little frustrating, particularly those where the trickiest bends are obscured by environmental objects, but you'd be a bit daft not to dip into this throwaway but fun micro-racer.

    We think quite highly of Reckless Getaway and strongly recommend downloading it, especially if you enjoy sticking it to the man or need a break from standard issue racing games.

    You couldn't ask for a more faithful recreation of a slice of gaming history, and there's enough here to satisfy nostalgia-freaks, as well as those who missed out on the game the first time around.

    This game's short on variety but entertaining in short bursts.

    Robot Unicorn Attack is a simple to learn and delightful casual game that you'll enjoy for weeks and perhaps even months to come.

    While not as well detailed as its competition, Mega Dead Pixel is a quality mix of old-school design and catchy modern-day gameplay. Be sure to download it to your favorite iOS device.

    Minter's love of all things old school has paid dividends, with a sweet shooter you need to experience, especially if you grew up during the golden age of Atari.

    Even with its stale music and pesky ads, Doodle Fit 2: Around the World is a strong addition to your virtual game library. The free-to-play version has plenty to offer - especially with the robust community - and the paid version has even more. This is one world trip you won't regret.

    Rakoo's Adventure doesn't reinvent the endless runner, but it takes its unique theme and rolls with it, offering up some very entertaining gameplay and an abundance of unlockable goodies.. If you're a fan of the genre, or looking for something for younger players to enjoy, you're likely to fall in love with it.

    A fun iPad title that's a sweet cross between tower defense and billiards, making it a smart pickup for gamers interested in destroying enemies with acute angles.

    The developers kill the music prematurely. You'll start to get the hang of things and then, suddenly, the song stops. If anything, it left us wanting more. A shame, since Moonshark's game is so enjoyable.
