    Overkill 3
    A big silly flappy bang bang nonsense of a shooty game.
    • tbd Metascore

    Buccaneer Blitz
    Buccaneer Blitz provides fun, action-packed strategy gameplay, but never truly manages to raise its sail before it arrives in harbour.
    • 67 Metascore

    Gravity Hook HD
    Gravity Hook HD has a uniquely punishing brand of gameplay that slaps you away with its difficulty, but reels you back in with a fine presentation and excellent unlockable mode.

    Wraithborne
    A little more polished than your average button masher, Wraithborne will appeal to some, but it's a little too generic to really set the world aflame.

    Style Savvy: Trendsetters
    It's pouty, it's pink, it's pretty darn good - Nintendo presents: New Style Boutique is the game to get your non-gamer sister / daughter / niece this Christmas, and they'll never know you've snuck them a shockingly hardcore management game with excellent production values.

    Towers & Dungeons
    A busier game than Tiny Tower, it's unfortunately a little worse off for it. An action packed and good-looking tower builder, this will delight freemium fans that want a little more to do out of every play session.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Any Landing
    Any Landing's fly-by-the-seat-of-its-pants gameplay is both fun and challenging, but structurally it's a bit of a mess.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Towers N' Trolls
    Released into a genre that is perilously close to saturation point, Towers N' Trolls doesn't bring anything new to the table but still promises tower defence fans an enjoyable ride.

    Hell Quest: Tears of God
    It sounds epic, but it isn't. Don't let that put you off, though: Hell Quest: Tears of God is a fiendishly compulsive game of gambling, even if it does look and sound like a cerberus.

    Mittens
    A nicely presented, if largely unexceptional, physics-based puzzler that's inventive enough to entertain for the duration of its relatively swift run-time.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Motorblast
    Motorblast very nearly plays as good as it looks, but is still well worth a few laps if you're a fan of combat racers like Mario Kart and Wipeout.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Rune Raiders
    Cartoony, simple, and entertaining, Rune Raiders offers a great introduction into turn-based strategy games. It just doesn't have enough to keep the veteran strategist engaged.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Knight Storm
    There's so much to absorb here, but all of it's made to a decent standard, with the element-based jousting a particular highlight
    • 80 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    DOOM II RPG
    Just like the marines battling it out against hell's minions, it feels like we've been here before. It's still an intense and entertaing experience - it just isn't a new one.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Mario Tennis Aces
    A highly entertaining and surprisingly nuanced multiplayer game that comes up short with its single-player offering.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Redline Rush
    A big, dumb game full of glorious crashes and glowing power-ups, Redline Rush might not be subtle, but it is a lot of fun.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Eragon
    Despite its dodgy film licence pedigree, Eragon is a surprisingly enjoyable addition to the ranks of DS action games.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Monsu
    Sharp and shiny in all the right places, Monsu is a solid addition to the endless runner genre.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Wonder Zoo - Animal rescue !
    While it doesn't break the mould for a world-builder as set down by Zynga, Wonder Zoo - Animal Rescue! is still a decent stab at the genre, with some top production values.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    HYKE: Northern Light(s)
    Hyke: Northern Lights is an engaging 2D RPG about a witch searching for her mother. While gameplay can feel repetitive at times, the visually stunning environments and the ability to switch between 7 distinct witches make this little RPG one worth exploring.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Vainglory
    A rich and compelling distillation of MOBA for mobiles, but presents a very steep and jagged face to new players.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Thrillville: Off the Rails
    Improved mini-games help Off the Rails elevate itself higher than its predecessor, but we still have issues with such a bipolar approach to the theme park genre.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    F1 2011
    F1 2011 is a great handheld addition to the franchise, although it could really do with an injection of personality.

    SBK Superbike World Championship
    Fans of the sport will enjoy its demanding handling model, but it leaves something to be desired in terms of energy and thrills.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Bombcats
    Clever, brilliantly designed, and dripping with new ideas, Bombcats is a great addition to the animal-flinging genre.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Oddy Smog's Misadventure
    Not as playable as Doodle Jump, controls provide Oddy Smog's Adventure with its biggest challenge.

    Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 1
    Filled with as many fun moments as mediocre ones, Sonic The Hedgehog 4, Episode 1 is a good start to the revival of the series.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Pangya Fantasy Golf
    Neat presentation and solid controls mean you'll have golfing fun with PANGYA: Fantasy Golf, but its lack of online play is a surprise.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Giant Boulder of Death
    A surprisingly fresh endless-runner full of charm and humour. No real improvements to the genre formula here, though.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Dragon Quest Smash/Grow
    Dragon Quest Smash/Grow is a worthy idle RPG with some engaging elements. But its initial promise of exciting Survivors-like action quickly falls apart. However, if you approach it from the perspective of it being a regular growth-focused casual RPG with plenty of more hardcore elements, you'll have fun. And both the visuals and audio have that familiar, nostalgia-infused Dragon Quest flavour.
