A sharp and angry roguelike that mixes arcade sensibilities into its DNA but doesn't quite pull off the right quantities.

A fast-paced, sometimes repetitive but never boring blaster, TriBlaster is definitely worth a shot.

Does little to peel away the flaws of the original, presenting new levels and mini-games with only incremental changes to its controls and options.

Hey! Pikmin lacks the smarts and the sheer visual appeal of the main series, but it's a warmly appealing diversion for fans and younger newcomers.

Mazes of Fate is a classic example of a lovingly crafted yet off-beat GBA title – it might smell a bit iffy but the gameplay can be truly intoxicating.

A workmanlike small screen accompaniment to its big screen inspiration, Iron Man 2 keeps the PSP ticking along nicely.

Bub and Bob would be proud: Jelly Dash has that golden era Taito positivity in spades, and squishes in an entertaining and fast-paced puzzler at the same time.

Shamefully enjoyable, and somewhat broken, Dynasty Warriors 8 doesn't disappoint.

Menial tasks and lame mini-games weigh down the fun in what ought to have been a thrilling extension of The Sims 3.

Pigs Can't Fly livens up the flappy formula, but its problems can be more than a little aggravating.

An interesting twist on the shooter genre, Zombie Commando won't be to everyone's tastes, but there's still a lot here to like.

The race for the best driving game on mobile almost got interesting, but 2K Drive has too many technical issues to truly keep up with the very best in the field.

Archangel is a well-crafted dungeon-crawler with a handful of nice touches, but it could use a little more spark and imagination in its world design and core gameplay.

An interesting take on sliding down a mountain, Cubed Snowboarding is a lot of fun while it lasts.

Charm and humour are mere veneer on this insanely tough arcade game, but it's oddly compelling and every point earned feels rewarding.

A solid if unremarkable arcade racer with an interesting control method and some annoying free to play trappings.
