    Charm and challenge in a neat 22MB file that will sit on your PSP for a lifetime. While it's an unforgiving game in places, it largely overcomes this with a vibrant and intelligent design ethos.

    Occasionally unbalanced but always entertaining, Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes is a worthy new entry in the venerable series' multitude of titles.

    A brilliantly well put together football sim with a clever card collecting system that's bound to snare anyone with an interest in the beautiful game.
    • 68 Metascore

    A simple and special hack and slasher, Trouserheart has enough going for it that it's hard to resist.
    • 76 Metascore

    Whether you’re shooting wildlife, caravaning across a perilous river, or playing doctor with your crew, you’ll find that this life-management sim provides hours of entertainment, with a constant push to go further, see more, and explore the wild yonder. Adding a new graphical sheen to a game that began as a text adventure is a welcome addition, and seeing the Trail again at its best is enough to trick my nostalgic memory to think that it looks just the same as when I sat down to play it during class, and that’s a ticket I would buy again and again. While The Oregon Trail may not be for everyone and it doesn’t add too much to make it the best game it could be, it’s a great title to play when you’re looking for adventure, or peril to overcome.

    Cute but incredibly difficult, Penumbear oozes brooding malice and will cause a great deal of frustration - but the unique gameplay is tight and appealing enough to keep you enthralled.

    Tough, beautiful, and easy to lose yourself in, Demon Gaze is a polished dungeon crawler with tons of challenge and charm.

    • 80 Critic Score
    Ironcast is a match three roguelike with surprisingly detailed tactical combat, but it's as much based of random luck as it is your own forward planning.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Uncommonly strong retro compilation heartily recommended to those with fond memories of their days of Mega Drive ownership or, indeed, any fans of solid gaming experiences.

    One small catapult for a bird, one adequately sized leap for Rovio's world beating series, Angry Birds Space is as much fun as its predecessor, and adds enough new concepts to keep even the hardiest fans entertained.

    In spite of the frustrating combat, The Amazing Spider-Man still has more than enough going for it to recommend.

    The Escapists 2 improves on its existing formula, offering up another great sandbox experience with a little more bite.

    Rhythm Thief & the Paris Caper is a near-perfect rhythm game held back only by its persistent social integration and always-on connectivity requirements.

    A fun and clever action game, Darklings shows how much can be accomplished with a touchscreen control system.
    • 78 Metascore

    Towelfight 2 is packed with humour and brilliantly playable to boot. The game's occasionally irksome controls are the only real sticking point.

    A thinking man's puzzler, Traffic Wonder HD is not a game to be taken lightly. However, put enough effort in and you will be rewarded with a gripping and satisfying brain-teaser.
