    Providing both action-based and tactical gameplay, Glory Days 2: Brotherhood of Men brings a new, innovative experience to DS wargaming.

    Pickpawket is a neat little puzzler with some big ideas, and while it won't set the world alight it's still well worth picking up.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Fun in small doses, Nutty Fluffies is a little too repetitive and shallow to offset the slightly cynical in-app purchase system at its core.

    An excellently-written retro-flavoured romp that is an utter joy, Space Age may be too simplistic for some, but its adventure and artistry is well worth your time. Highly recommended.

    ModNation Racer's astonishing editing tool and bucketfuls of personality are let down by lacklustre handling and sensation of speed.

    • 70 Critic Score
    The 3D adds much more than you'd think to an already pleasingly deep version of the beautiful game, but it's a shame there's not enough content to back it up.

    Final Fantasy II earns praise for its remastered visuals and updated gameplay, though it remains as off-putting as its original release.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A colourful and comprehensive Pokémon clone, Micromon isn't up to the standards of the Nintendo original, but it ably fills a gaping gap in the mobile roster.

    Yono is a simple, cute puzzler which excels in its puzzle design but lacks in story and combat, and that's a shame.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Technically solid – if increasingly familiar – racing action but set within a dynamic that often feels unnecessarily controlled.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Cutesy game based on a fun and original idea of drawing your own world. But, despite lots of innovation, the underlying game is unlikely to captivate older players.

    Scribblenauts Unlimited hones the original open creativity concept, and comes away with a fine-tuned must-have experience.

    A technically ambitious but unintentionally hilarious shooter that's far too flawed to recommend.

    Something of a disappointment considering our expectations, uncovering Contact's charms demands significant patience.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Despite the light-hearted script and colourful visuals, chronoSgear is a riveting and mentally challenging proposition that skilfully melds two genres into a cohesive and enjoyable experience.

    The finger-friendly gameplay of Viking Tales: Mystery of Black Rock makes for a compelling action game, even if there's little reason to return once you've seen its waters.

    A little overwhelming, but very slick to play, Current will have its fans, but the majority of players will be left bewildered.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Shift 2: Unleashed is bigger and better than its predecessor, with a lot more variety of races and excellent single-player career mode.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Tied down by its rigid adherence to the endless-running formula, TheEndApp isn't a bad example of the genre, but it's one you've played before.

    A fun and simple RTS game, Mushroom Wars lacks the spark needed to really recommend it.
    • 73 Metascore

    A dungeon runner with an intriguing aesthetic, Demon Tribe asks you to invest a lot of time and patience into it to peer down into its obscured depths.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Infuriatingly enjoyable from the start to the moment you throw the Vita in a fit of anger.

    A challenging game, albeit one with a short life span, On The Line is an entertaining diversion.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A light but fun and well-presented game that struggles under the weight of gratuitous IAPs.

    Oquonie is beautiful, unique, surreal, arch, and difficult in at least two senses of the word. Only gamers with a fondness for the avant-garde should bother.

    • 70 Critic Score
    It might creak a little under the weight of extended play sessions, but there's a good bite of arcade action in 15 Coins all the same
    • 73 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    With excellent visuals and plenty to do, this demanding game of strategy, management, and combat only appeals to a specific crowd, but serves that crowd well.

    Globosome: Path of the Swarm is troubled by problematic controls and uninteresting character designs, but it's still compelling when it lets itself roll free.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    At its worst a little choppier than you may remember, at its best downright timeless. The port's not perfect, but this is still a great way to play two of PS2's best games on the move.

    A look back at the early days of the JRPG. Dragon Quest I is solid, but we've come a long way since it was first released and it's starting to show.
