Extend hasn't changed much from Continuum Shift II, which means it can be considered a strong 2D fighter. What's new here, though, will delight veterans of the franchise.

Not just for tennis lovers, Virtua Tennis 4: World Tour Edition is an enjoyable, well-rounded game. Easy to pick up for players of all levels, but difficult to master.

Despite some broken levels, Ragdoll Blaster 3 still sometimes captures the spirit that made the original great, but nostalgia isn't enough to make it a must-play.

An inventive noir brainteaser that's short but dense, filling out the package - not with fluff - but smart puzzles, visual gags, and a bucketful of inky black blood.

A game whose major selling point isn't actually that important, Beat Hazard Ultra has a strong enough shooting mechanic to avoid any accusations of being a gimmick.

Lacking in character and bloated in fetch work, Unlimited Cruise SP is a clumsily translated import that, just like the game's missing second episode, should have been buried at sea.

While it might have sky-high aspirations, Fishbowl Racer is a mundane, frustrating experience at the best of times.

100 Trials takes the roguelike concept, mixes in a slab of puzzling brilliance, and lets it simmer into something wonderful.

While it's slickly presented, End Night HD lacks the same level of sophistication when it comes to its gameplay, with its unmoderated hack-fest becoming tired within minutes.

A classical schmup with a branching story path and refined controls. Worth the price of admission for the soundtrack alone.

Smooth and instantly playable, League of Evil 2 takes the template set by the original, then builds a bigger, brighter experience on top of it.

Diggin' Dogs manages to take a simple premise and embellish it with excellent presentation and a surprising level of depth. If you loved Where's My Water? then you'll lap this up like a thirsty pup.

It's an unlikely mix for sure, but Beat Sneak Bandit's smart blend of puzzling and beat-matching proves to be an ingeniously crafted delight.

A cartoon-style romance full of silliness, Boy Loves Girl hides a fiendishly addictive game under a simple premise, then dares you to escape its obsessive trials.

While Fly With Me is playable, dull gameplay and shoddy implementation of in-app purchases prevent it from taking off.

Demonstrating exceptional attention to detail and a clear love for the medium, Pinball Arcade is a wonderful collection of classic tables for a very reasonable price.

A strange little game dressed up like a freemium title, Dragon Keeper suffers from a lack of impetus that inevitably makes it forgettable.

A spirited attempt to do something different with the tower defence genre, though its presentation lets the side down.

Tough, relentless, and very clever, Raid Leader is more about brain power than brute force, but its meshing of RPG with RTS is one to savour.

Smart, slick, and seriously well made. Housemarque does it again.

Some minor multiplayer issues and overly long load times do little to change the fact that WipEout is back in the palm of your hand, and it's better than ever.

ModNation Racers on the Vita is a boring, unfair, and wholly unnecessary release that manages to be worse than its previous handheld outing despite the Vita's technical superiority over the PSP.

A superb golf game that's extremely easy to pick up yet as deep and complex as any 'serious' game, Everybody's Golf is the must-have Vita launch title.

Reality Fighters isn't particularly rewarding and it's a bit shallow, though it's a novel release and a showpiece for the possibilities of integrating cameras into traditional forms of play.

There's no better game to demonstrate the cool new ways to interact with the Vita, but Little Deviants's long-lasting appeal is minimal, relying on too few gameplay ideas over too long a period of time.

Another bullet-dodging thrill ride from the king of crazy shmups. But as a straight port of a 2002 arcade game, it doesn't feel as fresh as its Cave cohorts.

A brilliantly stripped-down and pure racer, Pocket Racing 2 is demanding, precise, and darn addictive - even if the World Tour mode occasionally frustrates.

Shogun manages to combine amazing graphics with demanding and addictive gameplay to create one of the finest 2D shooters available on the iPhone right now. Add in iPad and iCade support, and you've got an epic blaster that is sure to please arcade aficionados.
