Too lightweight for fighting fans and too charmless for anime fans, it's hard to see this pleasing anybody.

While there's nothing painfully bad about Supermagical, the sum of its parts add up to a mediocre whole.

A game that wears its influences on its sleeve, but that's about it.

A shambly auto-runner that's just not that much fun.

Speedy gameplay in a slow, meandering package. Get Kung Fury instead for the exact same mechanics in a much more suitable set-up.

An uninspired game that gets old fast, Epic Meal Time's diet of fatty foods makes for an uninteresting, sweaty experience.

Drive Ahead! Carcade would be a really fun arcade PvP battler if not for the overly sensitive physics system, which makes it hard to manoeuvre.

Engaging to a certain degree, Silent Ops has all the flaws you'd expect from an overambitious mobile title. If you can ignore the lack of polish, then it offers up a fairly decent ride - just don't expect any surprises.

Bookstore Dream has the potential for being a brilliant management title, but aside from a couple of neat ideas, it ends up hamstrung by its own indifference to your presence, practically playing itself.

A by-the-numbers expansion of an underwhelming role-playing mechanic, Monster Hunter Freedom 2 unfortunately has little new and worthwhile to check out beyond an impressive visual presentation.

A perfectly adequate match-three puzzler that fails to add much to the genre beyond a different default block formation.

King of the Course starts out fairly strong, and implements an interesting swing mechanic, but the aftertouch controls ruin the fun as often as they enhance it.

A competent top-down shooter, but indifferent controls and an almost horizontal difficult curve keep it from fully taking off.

While there might be flashes of a decent game, more often than not Last Knight is disappointing.

Nelke doesn't feel like a celebration of Atelier, but closer to a cash-in.

Stunt Guy 2.0 is a simple auto-runner that's all screechy tires and crunching fenders, but it fails to engage thanks to a few too many gruelling takes.

A solid and entirely forgettable mobile game that does almost nothing of any note.

As a trinket for retrophiles to coo over it's fine, but as a game Kale In Dinoland will just end up making your blood boil.

It's pixelly, and lovely, and good natured, but its cry baby populace and lack of real substance will stop you wanting to come back for more.

While a generation of gamers dreams of better days, Sonic The Hedgehog 4: Episode II is an unpleasant reminder of how far the series has fallen since its glory days.

There's a good idea here, but it loses its way too early on to really recommend.

Roll Back Home has a daring and arresting visual style. Boring and irritating gameplay, however, means this is the worst waste of paper since the Daily Mail.

The FIFA Street idea has potential but unfortunately the execution is disappointingly sloppy. If you desire soccer entertainment on your DS, we recommend you stay off the streets and pick the standard-issue FIFA instead.

There's a solid enough puzzler here, but Shapes!! doesn't really have enough going for it to wholeheartedly recommend.

Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 possesses appealing visuals that give it the swagger of a prize fighter, but the botched controls and anaemic fighter roster expose the game underneath as a featherweight with a glass jaw.

Goes all-in with its action-packed shooter gameplay, but a short campaign, limited multiplayer support, and a stack of shortcomings call its bluff.

Cardinal Quest 2 does most things perfectly well, but it doesn't carve out enough of an identity for itself to really stand out.

Generic action, performance problems and a lack of direction thwart any chance of Etolis: Arena becoming a twin-stick classic.
