    A slow-paced but satisfying forest simulation that's good for kids, SimAnimals is a bit too simple for adult players. And while it doesn't quite fulfil its potential, but growing things is still a lot of fun.

    A decent enough wander down memory lane, Spy vs Spy hasn't aged that well, but it's still fun in small doses.

    It might not be classic Tekken, but there's enough punching and kicking here to keep most people entertained.

    While it's unlikely to ensnare new players due to its plodding pace and labyrinthine rules, Caylus is a faithful adaptation of an award-winning boardgame that fans will adore.

    Sine Mora EX remains an interesting bullet hell shooter that's only improved by fancier visuals and couch co-op, but the extra content isn't worth it.

    Metal Slug 7 provides great action, but unless you're a total completist, it's far too short an experience.

    Skip buying your kid FIFA on 3DS this year, and give your offpsring Inazuma Eleven 3 instead. It's a novel light RPG experience, with all the compulsive collecting of a sticker album. There's also a decent football story at its core.

    Cars is by no means a terrible game, just a very average one. And 'average' is not the sort of thing you'd expect anyone to happily spend £30 on. Go see the film five times instead.

    The iPhone finally gets its own Wipeout, but the puzzling absence of pure racing excitement makes this a tricky one to recommend.

    FIFA 16 plays an excellent game of football but the lack of modes outside of Ultimate Team and dreadful menu design hold it back from true greatness.

    Xtreme Wheels is an undeniably fun ride, though the 3D visuals sometimes tax the iPad too much.

    A feast for the eyes, RAGE doesn't make the most of its fun arcade action as it's missing some standard features.

    A tasking and entertaining arcade blast, Futuridium EP is let down by its occasionally inaccurate controls.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    While some good things come in small packages, the limitations of this beginner's tower defence title means that The Great Prank War is more The 'Meh' Prank War to all but die-hard Regular Show fans.

    A gorgeous, engrossing experience, but it's too straightforward, too brief, and too slow to be an essential adventure.

    Project X Zone excites through the use of OTT animations, crazy crossovers, and easily accessible action that will hook you time after time.

    Whilst it's not a bad game, Zombie Wonderland 2: Outta Time! fails to learn from the mistakes of its prequel, and that condemns it to the same near-mediocrity.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Nice face, shame about the legs. Despite some great locations and visuals Underworld's gameplay will feel a bit on the bland side for regular pocket gamers - the more casual crowd should love it, though.

    While the lack of official licensing continues to dent the mainstream appeal of Gameloft's soccer series, this is a solid update and the intelligent inclusion of touchscreen control is genuinely engaging.

    RICO serves up fantastic doses of frantic action, and co-op play compensates for its limited formula.

    There's little inherently wrong with Clumsy Bob and its sideways take on Doodle Jump but for the fact we've seen so many similar games before.

    • 70 Critic Score
    Rainbow Moon makes some heavy mistakes, but it's still a great first attempt at an RPG from SideQuest Studios.

    A big silly shooter with lots of zombies to plough through, Dead Effect is far from a classic. But it is brainless fun.

    Who knew sorting out luggage would be so hard, or so much fun? Saito's skewed view on the world strikes again in this top-notch puzzler.

    Fast, furious and typically fierce, MK: Unchained is an accomplished fighter made all the more interesting by the addition of unusual play modes.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    An impossibly stylish and intuitive point-and-click adventure that tells a charming tale, but finishes way too soon.
    • 70 Metascore

    Despite being a DSiWare launch game, Art Style: AQUITE is a dull puzzler that should have been dumped at sea.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Deeply silly and full of gimmicky distractions, The Bowling Dead simply isn't fun enough to match its outrageously daft concept.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A simple RPG wrapped in a pretty complex free to play system, Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes is fun, but there's not that much to it.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A strong match-three game for your 3DS, Pokemon Link: Battle! may look pretty standard, but its faster pace and Pokemon-themed gameplay set it aside from the crowd.
