While it doesn't commit any serious gaming crimes, Streetbike is half-baked and deeply pedestrian.

The eccentric Jeff Minter presents a clever retro shooter than blends together the best elements of various Atari classics. But his eccentricity can prove too much, often droning out the best bits with his baaaarmy sense of humour.

CrimsonHeart offers the same tried-and-tested action-RPG gameplay, but its improved controls and excellent visuals help to elevate it slightly above its peers - of which there are many.

It ain't pretty, but, by gosh, is it clever. Crush 3D's use of perspective is rare and intelligent, providing ages of synapse-teasing, neuron-firing fun.

Got a 3DS? Get VVVVVV. Essential indie gaming, now on the go.

Take a break from plumbers, swordsmen, and bounty hunters and set some time aside to discover a classic worthy of that title.

With some of the best tilt controls we've encountered, Crazy Hedgy is an entertaining and surprisingly substantial platformer.

A demonstration of how brilliant design can enliven the simplest of ideas, Azarashi is a terrific test of your reflexes.

A solid game and an astonishing achievement in mimicry. Play Cut the Rope again instead.

Zen Studios knows video game pinball and this release is no exception, though a few rough edges go a long way to dull the shine of the steel.

Hero Academy is light on strategy, but provides smooth pick-up-and-play fun.

Woody Woodpecker combines the gameplay of Tiny Wings and Mario Kart to fairly good effect, but perfunctory execution clips its feathers.

Whilst it's not a bad game, Zombie Wonderland 2: Outta Time! fails to learn from the mistakes of its prequel, and that condemns it to the same near-mediocrity.

A lack of new ideas isn't always a bad thing, but Combat Arms: Zombies couples its undead fetish with broken controls and poor design.

A 2D platformer in the traditional sense, Terra Noctis borrows elements from Sonic and Mario to create one of the best examples of the genre yet seen on the iPhone. Physical controls would have made it a near-perfect game, but it's still a highly recommended download.

A marvellous idea that hasn't been executed as well as it deserves. It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing.

Addictive and quick fire, Run Roo Run is a perfect example of tailored iOS design, although it'll be over a little too quickly for some.

A bafflingly overpraised auto-runner that looks good but soon becomes tiresome.

A clever puzzle game with smart mechanics and a satisfying structure. Recommended.

A triple-A title that you can carry in your pocket, mobile gaming doesn't get any better than this.

An impressive if slightly lacking debut that delivers high-octane thrills by the bucketful.

Very much a case of style over substance, Legendary Heroes looks like an exciting action-RTS game, but plays like a freemium PowerPoint presentation.

A nice trip down memory lane, Kaptain Brawe: Brawe New World doesn't bring any of its own ideas to the party, but it's an enjoyable diversion all the same.

Super Crate Box is a stark and challenging indie game shot through with humour and care.

Genres and synapses collide in this glossy confection that conceals an infinite-match-flightpath arcade-puzzler. Hard to believe it's being given away for nothing.

In spite of some really great ideas, Lunar Racer doesn't quite manage to hold the attention for long enough, although it's still worth a look.

Infantile visuals and a few issues where the game mishandles information detract from an otherwise decent brainteaser collection for grown-ups.

Lander Hero may prove too tough for the more casual gamer, but it's a supremely polished and playable game that deserves to be played.
