With an endearing art-style and fine puzzling action, Sushi Mushi nevertheless has a few rough edges.

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.

A dull little game that makes being a deity feel decidedly average, Fury of the Gods isn't worth your time.

A bland, repetitive, and thoroughly uninteresting third-person shooter offering virtually nothing of note beyond its good looks.

Towelfight 2 is packed with humour and brilliantly playable to boot. The game's occasionally irksome controls are the only real sticking point.

A fairly standard endless-runner that only really stands out for its inspired visual style.

Cute but incredibly difficult, Penumbear oozes brooding malice and will cause a great deal of frustration - but the unique gameplay is tight and appealing enough to keep you enthralled.

Spunk and Moxie may look cute, but it has a difficulty curve which is practically vertical. Seasoned platform veteran will want to test their skills here, but for everyone else caution is recommended.

An enjoyably frantic arcade collect-'em-up, Crazy Raider is just too slight an experience with too simple a combat system to warrant prolonged play.

There's fun to be had spinning the reels, but King Cashing 2 doesn't do enough to stave off the inherent shallowness of its battles.

A reasonably charming but ultimately forgettable endless-runner, Mini Ninjas is about as by the book as they come.

A perfectly playable endless runner, Sonic Dash is entertaining enough, but highlights how far the series has come since its glory days.

An effective gimmick and an entertaining reaction test, but Killer Snake barely has enough to it to warrant the 'game' label.

A little too money-grabbing for most tastes, Smurf Life might look brilliant, but its slow pace and approach to its payment model remove a lot of the fun.

Disney continues the trend of crap movie games with this poorly made and cynically produced retread of a game we're all very sick of.

The largely nonsensical story does tarnish its appeal ever so slightly, but it's certainly one of the better games you'll play from the palm of your hand. It's just a beautiful bullet-hell ballet for your Vita.

Though Ragnarok Odyssey is a dumbed-down RPG that won't please stat-fiends, it's still pretty great at what it does.

Gorgeous graphics and a desperate desire to be like Monster Hunter don't compensate for simple gameplay and clunky controls.

Clearly inspired by Trials HD, Urban Trial Freestyle doesn't do enough to make it memorable, but the physics-racing is nevertheless fun, while it lasts.

A bit of a mess from a tech viewpoint, Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed's highly evolved racing action pushes through sheer force of fun.

Toy Story: Smash It! is an expertly created 3D physics-puzzler with a brilliantly knockabout sense of fun.

If it weren't for the controls, Cognition: Episode One would be a must-buy. But it's worth playing all the same.

A huge thrill-a-minute adventure, with satisfying combat, and big boss fights. Just don't expect the old Metroidvania formula.

A charming, cheery, and wonderfully imaginative combination of observational and reaction-based puzzling.

A twisty-turny platformer that still feels a bit repetitious despite its hook. Good fun, if only for the death scenes.

Dawn of the Dragons has got the storytelling side of things well and truly sorted - it's just a shame that the action is so basic and the gameplay so reliant on the player pumping in real cash for in-game currency.

Small and satisfying - just as any good treat should be - Snack Match is a brilliant bit of bite-sized gaming, let down by a lack of imagination in its gameplay systems and slow load times.

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