    Still in a league of its own, the premier portable management sim is back and better than ever.

    It's a largely ambitious game, but Osiris is let down by its mindless combat, dull plot, appalling controls and spate of glitches. It's not worth the premium price tag by a long shot.

    Prope's fast running action puzzler gets a lot right, however squiffy controls put a real dampener on the otherwise impressive porky proceedings.

    Gore splattered and over the top, Desert Zombie: Last Stand is an enjoyable, clumsy waste of a couple of hours.

    A blend of arcade racing and sales negotiations, Shine Runner is an original experience.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Excellent gameplay and precise controls impress, but a skewed overarching structure means that Splishi Splashi is best enjoyed in small doses.

    Move over Minesweeper, ta ta Tetris, leave it out Lemmings - Pullblox is the new puzzling gaming god in town.

    Batman: Arkham City Lockdown adds its own spin to the Infinity Blade-styled action game and packs a meaty punch with its presentation, but it never quite takes flight.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Despite Square Enix's slovenly porting skills, none of Chrono Trigger's brilliance has been obscured in this rather lazy iOS port. Hours of riveting RPG entertainment await those of you willing to look past the fuzzy graphics and occasionally awkward controls.

    It might have a nice body kit and some go-faster stripes, but Mini Motor Racing drives more like an old banger than a sleek, sporty number.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A fearsome test of your spatial awareness. For puzzling experts (and those with saintly patience) only.
    • 67 Metascore

    Clever, inventive, and moving, this short but sweet puzzler is not soon forgotten.
    • 85 Metascore

    The 3DS gains itself another must-have title – a solid combination of timeless racing and robust online multiplayer that will be enjoyed for years to come.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    An engaging, polished, and deep strategy game with just a few niggles to dull the shine.
    • 74 Metascore

    How do you like your eggs? We like 'em gently poached, with a side-order of platform action and lateral puzzles.

    This funny and entertaining take on the fantasy-RPG genre isn't without fault, but it manages to win you over regardless. A few hours in the hilarious company of The Bard is enough to make you question everything you know about RPG titles.

    Though it comes with a new subscription service, in truth Tetris is as addictive now as it ever was, and EA's latest manages to fuse old with new in what proves to be a welcome update.

    The lineage of lacklustre Superman games continues with this curiously dull and lifeless effort. The gameplay feels stale and lacks variety, making this a release that you should avoid like Kryptonite.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A great control scheme and cute concept, but teeth-gnashingly difficult. One for the masochists.
    • 75 Metascore

    Recollection's rules are smart, sharp, and pleasingly unique. The Creed-themed campaign is very enjoyable, but prepare to pay out for booster packs if you want to compete online.

    Professor Layton and the Spectre's Call is more of the same great puzzling gameplay, but it's definitely starting to lose its appeal.
    • 60 Metascore

    An incredibly tough game when you don't throw cash at it, Judge Dredd vs Zombies isn't worth the amount of money you have to spend to even the playing field.
    • 70 Metascore

    Some niggles with the controls and pricing aside, Call of Duty: Black Ops: Zombies is a fine port of the entertaining survival mode.

    Nutty Sam is a decent three-star puzzler that's not nearly as charming as it seems to think it is.

    Homerun Battle 2 strips baseball down to its essence and makes it fun for even non-sports fans.

    Only minor improvements, but if you missed Age of Zombies the first time, this update is great fun in small doses.
    • 89 Metascore

    A brutal, cyclical action RPG that builds on the foundations of its predecessor, Infinity Blade II is a showcase for everything that's right about sequels, but it's not the big leap forward that some might have been hoping for.

    SpyCorp looks and plays like a tweenie version of Metal Gear Solid, with vibrant production design and some brilliant gags. But the in-app purchase model is flawed and this detracts from the experience.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    An endless-runner in the Jetpack Joyride mould, Sea Stars's gameplay is solid and slick, but its reliance on in-app purchase sits uncomfortably with the game as a whole.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A retro styled, arcade blast from the non-specific past, Box Cat is fun, frantic and well presented, but its progression system and repetition might not be to everyone's taste.
