An intriguing mash of ideas with a sometimes jarring rhythm, Caveman Wars is definitely worth a second look.

At the end of the day, if you've not played Ikaruga before and you love a good shooter, you'd be doing yourself a disservice missing out on its latest release.

Giant Consequences starts strong, playing off relationships, but loses its way a bit as the episode goes on.

Duke Nukem 3D somehow holds up as a wicked fun shooter in 2015, and this Megaton Edition is a worthwhile compilation.

On Tour Decades brings better songs and a slightly more comprehensive Guitar Hero experience to Guitar Hero on DS. There are still issues with the comfort and practicalities of its guitar fret peripheral, but the most rousing songs are still a lot of fun to play.

A Maximus-sized serving of blood and sandals and severed appendages. It's just a shame you can rack up a Maximus-sized bill playing it, too.

Rock Band Reloaded lays out a nice set of features and satisfying gameplay, despite fumbling Facebook integration.

A solid match-three puzzler saved by a recent update, Zoo Keeper DX Touch Edition would benefit greatly from a dash of innovation to help it stand out from the crowd.

Making the fullest use of the DS hardware, Spectrobes does almost everything you could want, but it's marred by niggling flaws.

Don't let the cuteness fool you: Monster Burner is a tough arcade puzzler.

With the new scavenger hunt mode included, the Vita version of Proteus has something to offer that the PC version didn't, but it's still a polarising experience.

BattleHand is a gorgeous and finely-tuned blend of CCG and RPG which is somewhat spoiled by poor free to play implementation.

A bright and gleefully chaotic line-drawing blaster, Sky Patrol is a neat little diversion.

Simple in parts, BeamOut blossoms into an all-action romp with enough kick to make it worth playing despite its flaws.

A standard dungeon-crawling JRPG, Cthulhu Saves the World is more of a cheeky love letter than a parody, and that makes it all the more enjoyable.

An enjoyably knock-about hack-and-slash action game with the full weight of the Zelda franchise behind it. Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity isn't clever or slick, and it gets repetitive rather quickly. But it provides a fair smattering of uncomplicated fun and a whole load of fan-pleasing nods to Breath of the Wild.

Tri Force Heroes can be a thrill when played with a group of three friends. But try playing it solo or with just one pal, and things might not be so fun.

Persona 2 is at its best when it deviates from the cookie cutter design of JRPGs, yet it never quite strays far or often enough from these conventions, leaving a by-the-numbers adventure with just enough innovation to keep players hooked until the closing credits.

The combat here is good fun, and it's presented well, but technical issues and no multiplayer damages its long-term appeal.

You'll be talking about the online leaderboards in OlliOlli for weeks, and probably grumbling quietly about the imprecise controls while you do it.

Super Phantom Cat 2 is an interesting, if simple platformer, with a few decent ideas thrown into the mix.

Definitely a better buy than its 3DS counterpart, Hometown Story Pocket is still something of a jumble sale.

An attractive 2.5D auto-runner that doesn't offer anything new, but manages to succeed through sheer variety.

Arknight Endfield is a sci-fi RPG with engaging combat, gorgeous graphics, and a vast map to explore.

Amigo Pancho is an entertaining if slight mixture of familiar physics-puzzler elements. It's a thoroughly pleasant casual treat.

Another Candy Crush game. If that's your poison you're going to find an awful lot to like here.

Slingshotting beetles at wood is more addictive than it sounds. And for free, you might as well try it for yourself.

1-bit Ninja Remix Rush is an unrelenting and unforgiving challenge, and the perfect antidote to toothless endless runners.
