Simple and attractive, Mighty Fin offers up a short but well-made casual fillet.

Space Colors is vibrant, dazzling, and has some great controls, but its staccato structure means it never quite shines as brightly as it could.

A fearsome test of your spatial awareness. For puzzling experts (and those with saintly patience) only.

The cheeky humour and robust brick-based action is still present in this latest LEGO game, but the magic of the earlier releases is beginning to fade, making for a game that's strictly for fans of the IP it's based on.

There's a lot of over-the-top violent fun to be had here, and while it's not the best version of the game, it still holds its own.

It might not be the most interesting game in the world, but Disney Heroes: Battle Mode is still pretty impressive.

Bright and breezy presentation, and a few clever ideas, mean Amoebattle is worth a few hours of anyone's time.

Creepy visuals and complex puzzles make up for Cube Escape: The Cave's confusing story and potentially frustrating design.

Reverse: 1999 is a visually stunning gacha RPG where you'll rage against the backward flow of time. Characters are unique and incredibly well-voiced, but the writing can be a little awkward and pretty lacklustre.

The Voyage is an intriguing, vexing puzzle collection from the maker of The Curse, but is let down by some less-than-enjoyable puzzles and a few unwelcome IAPs.

Beyond Space's gameplay doesn't quite hit the lofty level of its incredible graphics, but it's no slouch as a space shooter, either.

Though not particularly original, Battle Gems (AdventureQuest) is a fun play thanks to its colourful graphics and weird sense of humour.

There are some elements which need work, but on the whole Super Skull Smash GO! is highly playable and devilishly challenging.

Swift Revenge is a very decent auto-scroller in which you're taken on a tour of different eras.

A visually attractive bite-sized pinball game that's suitable for fans and newcomers alike.

Star Ocean: Second Evolution is a solid RPG remake with some nice new tweaks. It's just a shame it's not better tailored to the PSP.

Taking its cue from as many popular iPhone casual games as it can, Contre Jour is polished and perfectly fine to play. It's just not very original or exciting.

A polished endless runner that looks and feels great, but stops short of creating something truly special with its core elements.

A vast improvement over its offline-only predecessor, Phantasy Star Portable 2 is a worthy challenger to Monster Hunter's crown, but isn't a game to be taken lightly as its depth and complexity is considerable.

A solid take on the endless running genre that doesn't add anything, but is still fun all the same.

LEGO Bricktales is a unique puzzle adventure that puts building with bricks front and centre. The charming characters and the lighthearted story stay true to the LEGO standard, but perhaps it does so with the building mechanics way too accurately. Building with bricks can be frustrating if you don't have a particular skill set, but if anything else, the controls do truly feel extremely optimised for mobile.

Rakoo's Adventure is a bright and fresh casual auto-runner, though the gameplay can't quite live up to the standards set by the stellar cartoony visuals.

This is a decent one-touch distraction. It's not going to shock you out of any malaise, but you're going to have a decent time while you're playing it. And to be honest, sometimes that's all you want from your mobile entertainment. Run-A-Whale is a decent slice of game, but it's not much more than that.

There's a solid, entertaining game here, but you can't shake the feeling it could have been something more.

It has a few problems, but if you're looking for a sharp action game with plenty of challenge, Furi is for you.

A fast and reasonably fresh arcade experience with some solid ideas and a few niggles that are easy enough to look past.

A baby simulation for young, baby-loving DS owners. There's not much in the way of gameplay and the mini-games are simple but it's a cute, well structured experience that will strongly appeal to its target audience.

An impressive iOS debut, Fibble is an entertaining and engaging puzzler, albeit one that never quite sparks into life.

A reasonably well put together wrestling game, but there are some pretty frayed edges that keep it from being great.

Two different and interesting games for the price of one but whether you'll find the mechanics compelling enough to play all the way through will very much depend on your love of an old, simple and now unfashionable genre.

There might not be much new mechanically here, but Djinn Caster has a setting that's likely to drag you in.

Wakedas will give more casual players plenty of hours to swipe their way through.

Skater is a little lacking and inconsistent to be a really strong choice for sim fans, and it's not arcade-oriented enough for casual players. This is a great first push forward, but the title needs improvement to run with its peers.

A dire tutorial mars what's otherwise a solid adaptation of a great strategy game.

A decent enough arcade dodger. The idea at its core raises The Hardest Flight up from mediocrity.
