With addictive puzzling and multiple modes of play, Tangram Attack is a quality piece of entertainment that will test your mental alertness and reflexive skills.

RCMADIAX has produced perhaps its best game yet with SHUT THE BOX, not by creating a bigger experience but by shaving it down to its core mechanics and offering it for the lowest price possible.

Soon Shine is a visual leap from its predecessor Chubbins, but the gameplay has taken a turn for the childishly simple.

It's embarrassing, but given the fact that the free version on mobile devices actually has multiplayer modes when the Wii U doesn’t, there’s absolutely no reason to waste your money on this.

Even without bugs, though, not everyone may go for Frederic’s stylings, and some hardcore rhythm game fans are likely to find it too easy. That said, those who feel closely attuned to musical fusions and arrangements should still consider taking up the keys on this one, especially if it receives an update; you could even feel comfortable adding one or two stars to its score yourself if that improvement arrives.

Anne's Doll Studio: Princess Collection, like the rest of the titles in this so-called series, does what it says it's going to do and nothing more. It's not broken, but the clunky interface, lack of options and frustrating presentation ruin any fun the user may have.

If the idea of a steam-powered side-scrolling shoot-‘em-up gets your motor running, get ready to party like it’s 1992 — Steel Empire is a blast.

Full of creativity and enjoyable moments, this is worthy of booting up that Wii U.

It'll scratch the shoot 'em up itch for fans of the genre with a no-frills approach that concentrates on core game mechanics over bells and whistles, and for newbies, XType Plus is more inviting than many other shmup titles.

It's respectable to see a clever title developed for the eShop on a tiny budget by such a small development team, but IQ Test's gags quickly wear thin with a high price point for a shallow experience.

Ice Cream Surfer gets some of the basics right and offers players a crazy, wacky world, with colourful locales and varied, interesting enemies. Unfortunately, the game built around that world is just not particularly fun to play, with little challenge, poor presentation, some annoying gameplay quirks and almost no replay value.

There is very little in 101 Pony Pets 3D that will impress, but that doesn’t necessarily make it a terrible game.

Wooden Sen'SeY has all of the materials to be a winner — sharp visuals, clever touches and plenty of charm. The execution falls down, however, as the intention to offer 'old-school' difficulty isn't backed up by polished physics and impeccably structured level design.

Despite upgrading this third release in the series to the 3DS hardware rather than releasing it as DSiWare, Rabi Laby 3 isn't really a marked improvement on the formula.

With Super Toy Cars, you either embrace the weird physics and accept that this is a cheap, silly experience, or you don’t.

Glory of Generals has a few things to show for its tour of duty: plenty of unit types, a huge roster of real-life generals for the historically inclined, and a veritable ton of content — with 60+ missions, some of which took us the better part of an hour, there’s plenty to see here. Unfortunately, not even the most devoted of war-gamers is likely to enjoy the experience for that long; opaque systems, a sense of randomness, and an annoyingly uncomfortable control scheme conspire to sink this ship long before the war’s won.

Strike Force Foxx is a fun, simple arcade experience that is unfortunately bogged down by its lacking production values and curious game design choices.

The quantity of creative features and usability make this one worth adding to any artist's toolkit.

As a budget distraction it works just fine, although a lack of imagination makes it difficult to recommend; there are better quick-play experiences to be had on the eShop at a similar price.

While it hits all the marks to be at least competent as a shoot 'em up, GAIABREAKER doesn't really go out of the way to make itself particularly interesting or fun to play, with fairly bland stages and little challenge.

The best part of Me & My Pets 3D is the Animal Lexicon found in the menus, which provides surprisingly interesting, real-life info on caring for the different species within the game.

It innovates without compromising on quality or complicating matters beyond the reach of inexperienced players, and is perfect either for extended play sessions of a quick level on the bus; with a lot of top-notch content and an affordable price, it shows that with skill and care developers can still deliver real quality to the portable

This is where we usually say your enjoyment will depend on how you liked previous games, but there’s one notable difference here: as of the time of this review, Chapter 4 is a full $3 more expensive than the previous titles! Veterans should consider whether this game is worth more of their change, while curious newcomers should definitely take one of the other chapters for a test run.

Very young children and penguin lovers who've never played the My Farm series before may find some enjoyment in this one, but unless you fall into one of those two categories, My Arctic Farm will be a chilly experience.

It functions, but it’s so disjointed, underdeveloped and brief that there’s no reason to give it your attention. Warn your friends, write it off, and then move on.

There's nothing we can say about My Jurassic Farm that we haven't already said about My Farm and My Exotic Farm: they're indistinguishable from one another aside from a new coat of jagged-polygon paint.

As it stands, the entire package feels incomplete, more like an early build or a tech demo.

It takes a simple gameplay concept, adds in a fantastic double-jump mechanic and several layers of skill-based challenges, and polishes it into a gem of a game that’s easy to pick up and play, but with enough depth and variety to keep you smiling through marathon sessions.
