    Paper Trail is arguably one of the best representations of what makes Netflix Games a genuinely great service. Like the OG Netflix, before they began trying to squeeze money out of the reality TV crowd, it feels experimental and chock-full of games you won’t find promoted on other services.

    It's been a long hard road but DS owners finally have a football game that they can be proud of – FIFA 09 is this season's most improved player.

    Pode is a little bit pricey, but if you've got someone to play with it's a great example of what couch co-op should be.

    Par Out Golf's line-drawing gameplay is unlikely to appeal to the members of St Andrews or Augusta, but it's still a testing alternative golf game that will frustrate and entertain in equal measure.

    Up Left Out is another finely honed puzzler from a developer that really knows their craft.
    • 78 Metascore

    A fast and furious game that makes no apologies for dedicating itself fully to one quick and simple mode. Super Ccatch is the master of its very tiny niche.

    A clever and well put together platform puzzle, Odd Bot Out might leave you scratching your head from time to time, but it's worth it all the same.

    A brilliantly put together little game, Skylanders: Cloud Patrol quickly becomes an addictive way to waste a few minutes, whether you care about the characters or not.

    Spellspire chucks enough ideas at the word game to make it an entertaining diversion.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A massive, beautifully collected, exceptional value for money anthology of the Final Fantasy IV universe, yet one that will do nothing to convert non-FF fans.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Slick, challenging, and that rarest of things: a spin-off project that manages to outstrip the original.
    • 79 Metascore

    A superior sequel in almost every way, Puzzle Quest 2 offers a combination of role-playing and match-three gameplay that is only let down by some niggling technical issues.

    A simple and cute little title that delivers far more enjoyment and challenge than you'd think possible.

    While Call of Duty: Modern Warfare isn't likely to bring a unanimous verdict when it comes to FPS on DS, it makes the most compelling case so far.

    Eye-catching graphics and interesting gameplay make Monster Trouble a tower defence game that's worth fighting for.

    Bad Piggies is creative, addictive, and absolutely packed with content. It might be Rovio's best game yet, but we can't help noticing it all feels a little too safe and predictable.

    Warts and all, it's impossible to not like Dragon Fantasy Book II if you can recall a time when Square and Enix were two separate companies.

    Bouncy, flouncy, and quite a bit of fun, this over-the-top brawler delivers equal measures of fan service and classic brawling gameplay with wanton glee.

    Visually, Primrows is so much better to look at than a bunch of numbers on the grid. I do like the journal and the way that every single match can be turned into points in some way. It feels delightful, slow, and fun.

    Quick minds that are after a lengthy challenge of spatial conundrums will be well served with this value-for-money downloadable.
