A charming and competent brain testing game on the surface. But with only ten mini-games and a dubious method of testing your intelligence, Brain Assist doesn't do anything to better its many rivals.

Fun for a few minutes but repetitive and boring after prolonged play, Ghostbusters: Paranormal Blast's excellent presentation can't save it from mediocrity.

There's some shooting to be done here, but it's not very exciting, so you probably won't do much of it.

Splinter Cell 3D is a great game, ported badly. Some subtle 3D can't make up for controller and camera issues, or glaring missing features.

Borderlands Legends is a complete waste of a stellar IP, offering clunky action-strategy fare and paying mere lip service to the series's core strengths.

What was a great console game almost 20 years ago simply doesn't work on a touchscreen.

Monopoly super-fans will likely find the Switch version to be another great addition to their already-heaving collection, but for the rest of you you'll be getting an identical experience without the heart or soul.

Has-Been Heroes has the bones of a great strategy RPG, but it doesn't let you get close enough to love it.

It's a good story, but those looking to emulate their favourite Belgium detective will find the repetitive brainteasers and limited sleuthing frustrating.

Fans of Monster Hunter are in for a decent alternative to their favourite action RPG, but a lack of imagination traps Lords Of Arcana on a plane of relative mediocrity when compared to its bigger cousin.

Shorn of many of last year's features and lumbered with an awkward control method, Tiger Woods 09 singularly fails to improve on its predecessor and in many respects is a definite regression.

One for CSI fans only, sloppy mini-games and annoying dialogue mar what could've been an engaging point-and-click adventure.

A bland, repetitive, and thoroughly uninteresting third-person shooter offering virtually nothing of note beyond its good looks.

Bounty Arms is flashy and fluid, but this platform-shooter is a hollow experience, blighted by hackneyed ideas and poor design.

A port that exposes too many of the fragilities of the original, Drawn to Life is spread a little too thin to recommend.

Dull action and technical quirks do nothing to galvanise the iPad version of Iron Man 2.

Suspicious mechanics and constant in-app purchases suck all the joy out of Peggle Blast.

Dogsbody fetch-and-carry wizardry that will only appeal to forgiving Potter fans. Hogwash for the rest of us.

It's difficult to put a numerical score to an experience like Curiosity, but it deserves to be experienced by as many people as possible.

The worst PSP version of Need for Speed to date, Need for Speed Undercover feels like a muddled attempt to revive the spirit of past glories.

Whether it's stealth, driving or shooting, the game feels limited and unengaging, is hampered by unresponsive controls and completely lacks the necessary polish of a modern production.

A timid and tame adventure, Doctor Who: The Mazes of Time is neither a pulsating puzzle or a fitting tribute to the franchise that adorns its title.

There's nothing wrong with it per se, and it's nice to see a mobile game that ties in with a triple-A title in a tangible way. And like I say, if you're into Battleborn then it's well worth having a crack.

Keep your coffers shut and do not contemplate putting this in your UMD drive – tis utter rubbish, for sure.

The Sims 3 for 3DS is simplified down to match the platform, but in turn loses most of its original appeal.

While not all of the puzzles in Dr Reiner Knizia's Brainbenders will take your fancy, there's enough in here to ensure that at least some of it will appeal. The over-arching mechanic adds flavour to ingredients that are otherwise sometimes bland.

A colourful and briefly entertaining but ultimately repetitive and irritating freemium physics game.

Technical flaws and simplified physics stop this from capitalising on the gap in the market it's trying to fill.
