    Entertaining and well-made, Shoot The Zombirds might not be particularly original or innovative, but it's very good at what it does.

    I Am Setsuna does a good job of marrying old and new in one package - and it's delightful on Nintendo Switch.

    Kathy Rain: Director's Cut is a modernized point-and-click adventure that brings back everything to know and love about the genre and updates it for the modern world. While I don't think anyone who's played the original title might find a whole lot of new experiences here, it's still a must-pick-up for new players who want a short but great way to scratch that nostalgia itch.

    Despite Square Enix's slovenly porting skills, none of Chrono Trigger's brilliance has been obscured in this rather lazy iOS port. Hours of riveting RPG entertainment await those of you willing to look past the fuzzy graphics and occasionally awkward controls.

    Teggle's brisk gameplay celebrates everything we never knew we loved about touchscreens.

    Beautiful to look at, intriguing in most of the right ways, and a lot of fun - Transistor is well worth a look.

    While it lasts, this wonderfully relaxing physics-puzzler makes an ideal antidote to Angry Birds rage.

    Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker is a beautifully charming perspective puzzler that deserved a second chance at success. It's also a decent - though not quite perfect - fit on Switch.

    A pint-sized facsimile of the massively successful home console brawler, Super Street Fighter IV 3D Edition overcomes its minor interface issues to become one of the finest portable punch-ups we've experienced in years.

    All the content of the Amiga originals - plus some new levels - make this update a must-have for retro enthusiasts and twin-stick blaster fans alike. It's just disappointing that the two-player mode wasn't included.

    A frozen apocalypse and focus on tense survival makes Frost an original and challenging variation on the card game.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A slick first-person hack-and-slasher that really benefits from some colourful and imaginative enemy design.

    A kid-friendly, snowball-infused shooting gallery game that delivers a surprising amount of festive fun given its simple setup.

    Sushi Snake is a very basic puzzle game, which makes it all the more unique and challenging.

    An App Store rarity - a proper head-scratcher that's great looking and also has something to say.

    For the asking price though, it's hard not to recommend this if you've got a few pals or family members around. Like that Saturday night game of Monopoly, it's all good fun so long as someone doesn't flip the board.

    An experimental and highly compulsive card-battler, with some pretty presentation to boot.

    Splatoon 2's Octo Expansion is a tough new addition to the game, and one that all fans should rush back to play.

    Despite (or perhaps because of) its deranged narrative, Frederic is a stylish confection that truly does justice to the poet of the piano.

    A fine example of style and substance, AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! (Force = Mass x Acceleration) is as addictive as it is garishly unique.

    Machinarium on Vita is an elegant version of a great game, adapted for the platform with a good deal of thought and care

    While it might not knock your socks off, 300 Dwarves is still a thoroughly entertaining tower defence experience.

    Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep is yet another exemplarity RPG for the PSP, boasting a robust combat system, riveting plot and some sumptuous visuals. Only the protracted loading times hold it back from classic status.

    It's fast and frenetic in all the right ways, and it makes you feel like you're getting better with every step you take. If you fancy some silly space-based slaughter then this one is definitely worth checking out. Just make sure you stick with it.

    The Trace is a little plain, but does a good job of letting you play detective with its smart cobweb of questions and clues.

    Reckless Racing is one heck of a good time, delivering stunning graphics and fun off-road action both online and off.

    Though not as deep as many of its rivals, Army of Darkness: Defense makes sheer playability its focus and serves up an addictive castle defence battler.
    • 82 Metascore

    The clever marriage of satisfying mechanics and exciting sound design, together with a free to play model as unobtrusive as you'll find, makes this a very enjoyable climb indeed.

    The Firm is a twitch game and therefore lacks depth, but it still manages to make a mark - like a corpse hitting the pavement.
