Pac-Man's ears may be burning, but Rally-X Rumble is no threat due to its iffy controls and dated unoriginal gameplay. It's all been done better elsewhere.

GRIP: Combat Racing is a decent racing game that can get a little too wild at times.

Slow and saddled with a frustrating interface, Companions has a lot to say, but only the most patient will want to listen.

Alien vs Predator: Evolution is a broken, uninspired, frustrating mess of a brawler. Even fans of the series aren't going to find much to like in this tie-in game.

Takes a relatively dull pursuit and lets you have some crop-based fun regardless of the visual drawbacks and tough difficulty.

An average slingshot physics game spoiled by a pitiful fantasy veneer and an irritating freemium payment structure

Significant technical issues currently hamper an otherwise strong title that represents as much a love letter to Ultima as it does a new way of freemium RPG design.

It may be mildly diverting and moderately entertaining, but this latest entry in the Mystery Dungeon series sadly fails to improve on its already disappointing predecessor.

It's not exactly Asphalt, but Overdrive is bright and bold enough that you'll enjoy it for a while at least.

Fantastically funny and an unwavering faithfulness to the source material help make this rather average 3D action adventure worth a furtive glance – it's just a shame that it's over so quickly.

Need for Speed Undercover should be a thrilling no-holds-barred ride but the wheels fall off early on.

I never thought I'd type these words into a video game website, but here goes... Sonic Lost World is a very good 3D Sonic game and you should buy it immediately.

Our World is Ended could be a brilliant, interesting sci-fi visual novel, but it's too busy telling crass jokes and harassing women to care.

A brave effort to bring vision training to the masses, Sight Training won't appeal to most and is undone by the blind spot of dullness.

About as hardcore as a whimpering puppy and a bit low on content to boot, but this breezy title makes for a decent enough casual game.

A lack of online play and other minor shortcomings sully MX vs ATV Untamed, although the experience still manages to rev up some excitement.

Monetization really does stand out as being greedy and egregious, but it can't mask what is an otherwise fun adaptation of the Mario Kart formula on mobile.

A lack of new ideas isn't always a bad thing, but Combat Arms: Zombies couples its undead fetish with broken controls and poor design.

There's still plenty of room for improvement with patches and bug fixes, but NBA 2K14 shows signs of improvement.

There's simply not enough here to warrant the ludicrous price tag. Only diehard Pokemon fans need apply.

Truly unforgivable technical issues mask an otherwise run-of-the-mill action adventure game. The toys are cool and all, but the game containing them simply isn't.

The 3rd Phantom is a workman-like tactical RPG which will come as manna from heaven for hardcore Bleach fans but fails to distinguish itself from the many other titles of this type already available.

Solid but uninspired: Diamond Digger Saga is a very well constructed match-3 with a twist, but that twist isn't big enough to tempt back people bored of Candy Crush and the like.

A dull shooter wrapped in an angry freemium model, Gunner Z is enjoyable for a while, but it soon fades.

Fans of historical pseudo-realism will find the format intriguing but a disappointing fighting system nestling at its core scuppers much of the potential of Gladiator Begins.

It doesn't take a genius to work this one out - The X-Files: Deep State is boring, uninspired, and not worth your time.

The Pantheon Cycle: Shrouded Aspect offers in-depth turn-based strategy, but carries one too many shortcomings to be recommended beyond the hardcore.
