Dropchord's thumping soundtrack hides a rather frustrating and repetitive game that just doesn't feel that satisfying to play.

Vempire is a competent match-four game, but other than being a launch PSP Minis title, there's not much to get excited about.

If you're after a by-the-numbers rhythm-action experience, then HarmoKnight has you covered, but its lack of style and unwillingness to push any of its few ideas forward are a massive letdown.

Like watching fish in a tank, Nemo's Reef can be a relaxing and even pretty experience, but there's so little to do that you'll quickly flush it from your home screen.

Dead Rising Mobile is an outdated action game without proper controls, decent graphics, and gameplay satisfying enough to keep you playing.

The gambling introduces a fresh and very welcome dynamic to the beat-'em-up genre, but such innovation is dealt a low blow by a mediocre fighting engine.

That Dragon Cancer is a game that deserves to be played, but not on mobile right now.

Unoriginal and dull, Game of Thrones: Conquest is a waste of a perfectly good license.

Convoluted and grind-focused, Sword Art Online: Hollow Realization will alienate newcomers and potentially bore old fans.

A rough draft for what could become a masterpiece, Bakushow is messy, unfinished and not yet worth the money.

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

Fuzzy, outdated graphics appropriately reflect the worn and improperly tailored gameplay of SEED 2: Vortex of War.

A classic example of pushing the hardware too far, Ionocraft Racing has an entertaining concept at its core but is let down badly by a stuttering frame-rate and a lack of rivals to race against.

Too simple, a little rough around the edges, and lacking design nous, Split! never manages to make the most of the two genres it spans.

Bloktronik is lofty in its design, but its dull gameplay brings it crashing back down to earth.

Rainblocks is simple to a fault, lacking the depth and ingenuity to raise it above the ordinary.

Involving combat and colourful art do little to disguise a game that feels overbearing in its monetisation, overcomplicated in its presentation, and altogether too familiar.

A fine remake, but it can't fix the flaws of the tawdry, outdated original.

A game with a lot of big ideas, none of which it quite manages to see through.
