    LA Remix is as polished as the bonnet of a freshly-waxed Lamborghini Murcielago and almost as fun to drive thanks to tight controls and enjoyable wheel-to-wheel racing. Sadly though, the ride is ultimately marred by a distinct lack of variation.

    A sharp-edged retro RPG with a sense of humour and a lot of content.

    Pokemon: Let's Go! has a lot of offer on the whole. It's family friendly and makes it easy to pick up with a pal, meaning that parents can jump on to help out their kids and leave when needed. It's also brimming with charm, character, and animations that you can't help smiling at. I've got no doubt you'll enjoy the game if you pick it up, but how long for depends on how much you loved the classic era of the Pokemon franchise.

    Dudeski is a fast and fun ski sim that's loaded with charm. This game's twitchy challenge is enough to keep you coming back for more.

    With its winning mix of puzzles and courtroom craziness, it doesn't take a genius to see that picking this game up is a no-brainer.

    A game that pushes the DS to its limits and though it's a simulation in nature, GRID always puts fun ahead of cold accuracy.

    A standard twin-stick shooter that suffers from a certain lack of substance, Age of Zombies will still provide a very entertaining, accessible and action-packed experience.

    While it won't win any awards for innovation, Pac'N Jump is a faithful replication of the Doodle Jump formula with an added scoop of nostalgia.

    A novel gravity-centric take on the traditional karting formula, jAggy Race is betrayed by its meagre level selection.

    Less game, more interactive narrative: this curious and very distinct release weaves a lengthy tale of samurais and love to good effect.

    This smart scrolling shooter is one that revels in its Japanese spiritual iconography and risk / reward systems of play, making for a delightful but tough minis release.

    It might not have the spectacle of some bullet-hell shooters, but Plasma Sky is a much more welcoming game, with enough depth to keep fans of the genre happy, too.

    There's so much to absorb here, but all of it's made to a decent standard, with the element-based jousting a particular highlight

    It's one of the best strategy games you'll play on your mobile this year, and serves as a fantastic example of how to do free-to-play right for a core audience, without compromising on artistic vision or gameplay depth.
