The best Frogger game in ages (or should that be decades?), this attractive and enjoyable arcade romp packs in gorgeous visuals, impeccable presentation and plenty of hard-as-nails gameplay. Just be prepared for the odd moment of intense frustration.

No online multiplayer will stop the GG hardcore needing to pick up a copy, and its high difficulty will be too abrasive for new players. It's still a technically superb fighting game, though, even if very few people should bother owning it.

Doctor Who: Legacy is a real treat for Whovians, and a satisfying but derivative RPG-puzzler for the rest of us.

A gorgeous, well put together on-rails shooter. In the end, it is just another on-rails shooter, but you'll have fun with its on-rails shooting all the same.

For fans of gacha games, Dragalia Lost is one of the best of the bunch. However, Dragalia Lost is still, at its core, more of the same.

Trading on its licence and some scraps of humour from the Simpsons table, The Simpsons: Tapped Out is a bog-standard city sim with little to recommend it once you get past the Groening gloss.

Dragon Ball Legends might be one of the best licensed anime games on mobile, as well as one of the best looking. One of the better anime time wasters on mobile.

The NES Remix games are clever reinventions of classic games. It's just a shame this 3DS edition is so lazy, and far from Ultimate.

Pokémon GO isn't perfect, but its sense of nostalgia and pure excitement are unparallelled.

An honest, though underwhelming effort, 9 Innings: Pro Baseball 2011 toys too much with game balancing in an effort to deliver high drama.

Flipstones lacks the variety and right balance between chance and skill to be consistently enjoyable.

With polished presentation, responsive controls, and an entire universe of upgrades to explore, Asteroids Gunner successfully updates the classic concept and establishes itself as one of the finest twin-stick shooters on the App Store.

An enjoyable, engaging blend of two very different genres, but its focus on immediacy over depth makes for a game that's just far too ephemeral.

Broken, silly, and a little bit marvellous, Backflip Madness does exactly what its name suggests.

A stripped back conversion of a strategically challenging if one-paced boardgame, Abalone isn't up there with the classics, but it is a worthy alternative.

There are a few niggles here and there, but as a package Rollabear offers a decent few hours of quick-fire fun.

Kind of Soccer is the kind of casual coffee time gaming that we bought an iPhone for. Easy, fun, and forgettable.

There are a few problems here and there, but all in all Manticore is a brilliant deep space shooter.

The harsh AI difficulty will diminish its appeal, but 7th Guest: Infection remains a well-presented and interesting boardgame.

Hard to play, unexciting, and a little soulless: though some may find Liberation Maiden's style enough to excuse its other faults, this is undoubtedly Suda 51's worst output to date.

A fun, but ultimately monotonous one trick pony, Braveheart is best suited to short bursts where its repetitive nature can be sufficiently tolerated.

Despite its iintriguing take on match-three puzzle play, Puzzle Cosmos is just too hard to be enjoyable.

Sure to put a smile on your face, Life of Pixel is a simple and fun adventure that's only slightly tarnished by its short lifespan and tricky levels

Twenty years at the top and Madden is faltering badly – this 'update' offers little in terms of new content and should only be considered if you've passed on the previous PSP instalments.

Renders a classic unplayable by virtue of horrendous controls.

Nitro looks and sounds impressive, but under the bonnet you’ll find a racer which is hampered by a poor free-to-play system and saddled with strangely unexciting on-road action.

A light-hearted adventure that nearly hits Nintendo-style heights, but never quite manages to get there.

Not the finest poker sim around but a solid and comprehensive effort nonetheless.
