    Earth Defense Force 2017 Portable
    Earth Defense Force 2017 Portable remains one of the most demented, wild-eyed shooters you'll ever play. But as funny, ragged, and carefree as it is, until it's available at a lower price it's hard to recommend to anyone but those who revel in flawed cult classics.

    Everyday Shooter
    Stiff controls and limited options keep this beautiful shooter from firing off perfectly.

    Grow Away!
    Like its veggie protagonists, Grow Away is simple, satisfying, and good fun to throw around for an hour or two.

    Metal Slug X
    Unsurprisingly, this Metal Slug 2 remake has all the same strengths and most of the weaknesses - which is to say it's a cracking platform-shooter with iffy virtual controls.

    Dig!
    A boring, uninspiring game that's utterly forgettable. It's not actively bad, but you probably won't dig Dig!

    Madden NFL Mobile
    Its free to play system might but some off, but Madden NFL Mobile is a step up from last year's effort.

    AiRace Speed
    Temperamental controls and B-grade visuals aside, this is a lovely little downloadable racer with a surprisingly compulsive time trial format.

    Rhythm Thief & the Paris Caper
    Rhythm Thief & the Paris Caper is a near-perfect rhythm game held back only by its persistent social integration and always-on connectivity requirements.

    Drakerider
    A competent but ridiculously overpriced JRPG with too many old ideas and not enough substance or excitement.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Star Wars The Clone Wars: Jedi Alliance
    Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Jedi Alliance provides everything required for highly polished Star Wars experience, but there's not quite enough depth for a real Jedi adventure.

    Freakyforms: Your Creations, Alive!
    Creative souls will have a blast with Freakyforms's tools, while those looking for a game may find it a bit too simplistic and repetitive.

    Puyo Pop Fever
    A solid, deceptively intricate puzzler that is best enjoyed against human opposition.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Pokemon Ranger: Shadows of Almia
    Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia is the Pokémon series at its most professional and polished, but non-fans will find it as linear and repetitive as ever.

    FIFA 18
    FIFA 18 on Nintendo Switch is the most competent handheld offering of the sport to date, though there's no escaping the fact it's a lesser product than its PS4 and Xbox One counterparts.

    Tokyo Crash Mobs
    Tokyo Crash Mobs takes the crown as the Nintendo 3DS's weirdest game yet, with potentially dull match-three action that is rejuvenated by silliness.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Buzz! Master Quiz
    It feels almost wrong to give such a polished game a downbeat review but there's no avoiding the fact that Buzz! Master Quiz is a case of concept and hardware being lamentably mismatched.

    The Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning
    The dragon returns to form. The Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning is a well-designed, satisfying action game.

    Jewel Quest: Expeditions
    Solidly constructed and as compelling as ever, Jewel Quest on the DS suffers from the wealth of high-quality alternatives on the platform and a somewhat superfluous story.

    Bloons
    The button-based control system isn't ideal but other than this, Bloons Minis is an enjoyable version of the popular web puzzler.

    Fast & Furious Adrenaline
    A well-intended racer that has all the right features - however flawed they might be - but none of the excitement needed to get your heart racing.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Escape from Age of Monsters
    An intense dash to infinity that's entertainingly frenetic, if a little too flimsy to hang out with the big boys.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Frenzy Pop
    A jaunty, if all-too-familiar experience that's lacking polish where it's needed most.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    BreakQuest: Extra Evolution
    Strange, obtuse, and a little unfair, BreakQuest Extra Evolution is a more artistic take on the typical game of Breakout.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Alien Chaos 3D
    Arena blaster fans will thoroughly enjoy Alien Chaos 3D, especially if they have a (strange) predilection for cleaning up their mess afterwards.

    • 40 Critic Score
    Fairway Solitaire Blast
    An occasionally bright game that's beaten into submission by difficulty spikes and shouty IAPs.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Gunbrick
    An ingenious, well put together mash up of genres and ideas, Gunbrick is the first must-buy of 2015.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Baum
    There's a decent game here, with some brilliant ideas, but it often ends up obfuscated behind fiddly controls.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Black The Fall
    Black: The Fall is a nice addition to the Switch range, offering an interesting story, intriguing puzzles and great bite-size gameplay. Lovely moments easily outweigh any small flaws.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Super Meat Boy Forever
    Super Meat Boy Forever returns in a more suitable format as a mobile endless runner with short challenging levels and strong gameplay.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Zendoku
    Neatly presented, well thought out and with plenty of modes – multiplayer is especially good - Zendoku is a fun improvement on the basic Sudoku.
