    A clever and fast-paced puzzler that will keep you on your toes, Crush! is an awful lot harder, and more rewarding, than it looks.

    An entertaining single-player mode and some excellent multiplayer modes make Worms 3 a decent addition to the long-running series.

    It plays just like the home versions of LittleBigPlanet, but that's ironically to its detriment. However, it's still a quality product in its own right.

    More frustrating than the first chapter, Sorcery! 2 still spins a compelling yarn. Here's hoping chapter three isn't another six months off.

    Espaulga II HD looks stunning on the iPad, and is one of the best high-score chasing shooters available on the App Store.

    Lyxo is a simple concept - it’s just reflecting light - but as a puzzle game, it feels refreshing and relaxing. It’s great to be able to play such a soft and simple puzzler that doesn’t seem to want to rush me or limit me to the number of lines I can draw. The graphic style, though minimalist, continues to feed into the simplicity and relaxing nature of the game itself. If you like puzzle games and are looking for something less stressful, Lyxo is well worth downloading and with 87 levels, you will have plenty to work through!

    LUNA The Shadow Dust is an enchanting point-and-click adventure that's recently made the jump to mobile. The stunning hand-animated scenes and evocative soundtrack complement the wordless storytelling beautifully, and if you can get past the rage-quit-inducing last chapters, a memorable ending awaits - and maybe even a lesson on persevering through adversity too.

    Alice in Wonderland is a shining example of how to make an exploration puzzle game, and a movie tie-in one at that.

    An excellent choice for gamers wanting a new Metroidvania on their Vita, this adventure with the Caped Crusader comes close to being a classic.

    Yo-Kai Watch 2 is bigger and better than its predecessor, but there are still a few kinks left to iron out.

    An incredibly polished, riveting, and accessible strategy game, but veterans of the series might find it a little over-familiar.

    It is no secret that Hades is a fantastic game, people raved about it quite rightly, and it being on mobile is fantastic in theory. Of course, you will need a Netflix subscription, an iPhone, and ideally a controller to deal with the touchscreen issues I had. If you are in this minority of mobile consumers, then you will have a fantastic time, but it is hard to feel that Supergiant could have executed this port in a much more successful manner by including an Android version and spending a lot more time on the touchscreen implementation.
