    There's fun to be had here, but Nakama doesn't have enough meat on its bones to really recommend.

    But with even the most thumb-tied tot capable of completing Cars DS in less than five hours, any Pocket Gamer reader is likely to end up feeling pretty shortchanged.

    Mini Motorways is a minimalist game with lovely visuals and a low-key soundtrack. The gameplay is pressure-filled, however, and may not appeal to those who are lacking in the organization and neatness department.

    With decent production values, Toss The Ball is initially a fun distraction, but it's unlikely to captivate players beyond that early curiosity.

    With a few tweaks, Gear Jack could be a wonderful game. As it is, it's nearly crushed under a pile of frustrations.
    • 51 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The mini-games are just as fun as they've always been and the cute visuals have lost none of their charm, but Adventure mode is perfunctory and crudely made.

    Though it doesn't give you enough room to breathe, BioDefense: Zombie Outbreak borrows enough from the wider action strategy genre to make it an interesting proposition in the crowded tower defence genre.

    • 60 Critic Score
    There's nothing surprising about Combat Squad, and there are better multiplayer shooters out there.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Ultimately pointless if you don't own Pokemon Black and White 2, Pokemon Dream Radar is, however, an absolute must-buy for Pokefans.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The iPhone finally gets its own Wipeout, but the puzzling absence of pure racing excitement makes this a tricky one to recommend.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A lightweight action-RPG that makes up for its design and technical shortcomings with a weird, woozy, and strangely captivating style.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A nice looking, but ultimately too recognisable auto-runner.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A well-intended racer that has all the right features - however flawed they might be - but none of the excitement needed to get your heart racing.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Fired Up is a fun little arcade game with a unique theme, but one that burns out quickly.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A linear and repetitive experience, though one that certainly isn't short of occasional frantic moments of arcade greatness. But mediocre production values do restrict its potential and ultimate appeal.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A twisty-turny platformer that still feels a bit repetitious despite its hook. Good fun, if only for the death scenes.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Time Geeks: Cloneggs's delightful pixel art and pop culture-inspired sprites are not charismatic enough to compensate for a solid but ultimately mediocre matching puzzler.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A.D.D. lives up to its name as mediocre mini-game compilation that won't hold your attention for long.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Some visual glitches, disjointed dialogue and lacklustre combat thankfully don't manage to entirely spoil an atmospheric, visually impressive horror romp.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Star Battalion unsuccessfully tries to make up for mediocre gameplay with online co-operative multiplayer and high-definition graphics.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    In spite of its bright colours and broad jokes, Adventure Time: Super Jumping Finn isn't interesting enough to hold your attention for very long.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Word Smack is a fun and intuitive word game concept that simply hasn't been made the most of.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    There's fun to be had here, but Hollywood Monsters has you reaching for the hint button too often to be considered a classic.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Too safe to really be spectacular, Artist Colony is nonetheless a playable people simulator that comes with a unique setting, but fails to truly build on its early promise.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A decent enough tapper with some famous sweaty men, that doesn't add anything to the genre.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A cute if unsophisticated castle defence game, Army Defender is fun to play but doesn't offer much of a challenge.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Awkward controls spoil an original idea in a game that looks better than it plays.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    While it does have its moments, Circuits never quite manages to reconcile its free-flowing musical heart with its cumbersome puzzling.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    There's a good idea here, but Spellbinders just doesn't manage to see if through to fruition.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A well put together, slightly frantic arcade tapper, there's not much to Don't let the dot die, but what's there is fun.
