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

Many will find M.A.C.H.'s fuselage a little thin and the solo flight briefer than it deserves to be. But if they get together, they'll also discover it offers some of the finest multiplayer gaming on PSP.

Everything an infinite runner needs, with a delicious side helping of retro goodness. But you might need laser eye surgery to keep track of the graphics as Jack reaches full sprint.

AdvenChewers is a surprisingly open and adventurous casual platformer built from otherwise familiar components.

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.

Line Knight Fortix is a flawed but fun re-imagining of the arcade classic Qix.

While it can be challenging for newcomers, daWindci is a breezy, beautiful puzzler.

It's not without faults but thanks to an excellent multiplayer mode and a vast number of gameplay options, this takes the series to a new high on DS.

Super Mega Worm vs Santa Saga is a good value for anyone who still gets a kick out of Wojira's feeding frenzies.

UHR-Warlords is a hardcore fantasy strategy boardgame that's unlikely to win over the uninitiated with its dour, hardcore demeanour, but the converted will be enthralled.

Bold and imaginative, Shapist brings shape sorting into the modern age with impressive panache. It may prove too challenging for more casual puzzlers, though.

Field Commander is a polished, well-presented game with loads of options, but it's let down by weak AI. Best enjoyed via multiplayer.

A clever idea that doesn't quite spark into life until you get a few more people around your iPad, Balanz is still a great party game once it gets going.

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.

1000: Find 'Em All! speaks to the completionist with long term treasure hunting, though has trouble pairing its inventive features with lasting intrigue.

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

ENCODYA is a gorgeous-looking point-and-click adventure with painstaking effort put into every detail of the game. It's truly a labour of love, and I appreciate that - but I do wish the controls were more mobile-friendly to make the game less of a slog to get through.

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

A well put together, thematically intriguing digital boardgame, but it's not for anyone with a fear of chits.

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.
