A good low-investment game whose experience is tarnished as you spend more time with it.

Bookstore Dream has the potential for being a brilliant management title, but aside from a couple of neat ideas, it ends up hamstrung by its own indifference to your presence, practically playing itself.

One of the best Pokémon games just got even better. This release pushes the DS to its limits and in doing so makes for one heck of a monster catching adventure.

A familiar-looking puzzle game that gives you the chance to create your own characters and levels while delivering solid puzzles to solve.

New Little King's Story is a tale worth telling. A great real-time strategy / role-playing hybrid, now on the go.

Bad Piggies is creative, addictive, and absolutely packed with content. It might be Rovio's best game yet, but we can't help noticing it all feels a little too safe and predictable.

A great visual style and a whole heap of retro charm can't quite lift Recess Riot to the top of the playground pecking order.

It plays just like the home versions of LittleBigPlanet, but that's ironically to its detriment. However, it's still a quality product in its own right.

Banana Splitz is a return to form for the Super Monkey Ball series, and well worth a roll.

You should play Rising Board. How else are you going to witness a penguin on a surfboard flipping tricks like there's no tomorrow?

While point-and-click fans will love every second, The Room is good enough to convert all but the most stringent naysayers to its cause.

You should play Rising Board. How else are you going to witness a penguin on a surfboard flipping tricks like there's no tomorrow?

The most fun you can have destroying civilisation without becoming a government MP, Plague Inc. refines the Pandemic formula into a streamlined combination of strategy and twisted bio-horror.

Gorgeous looking and a joy to play for flick gamers and NFL fans alike, it's just a shame so little has been added to the sequel beyond IAP-heavy bonuses.

Crazy Hunter is bland and confusing in every regard, and the only thing that's truly crazy about it is that EnjoyUp Games is expecting you to pay money for it.

Casual fun, this modern-day mobile retelling of SkiFree never heats up but it won't leave you cold either.

While there's nothing painfully bad about Supermagical, the sum of its parts add up to a mediocre whole.

A well-designed, entertaining take on an excessively familiar formula that's simply too predictable to truly dazzle.
