Another flawed attempt at something different, The Magnificent Pixel Dynasty is more hit than miss though.

A unique and interesting attempt at an interactive story, I am a brave knight is short but not quite sharp enough to see its bright concept through.

A warm and endearing adventure that, despite a few problems, is still definitely worth a go.

Everything an infinite runner needs, with a delicious side helping of retro goodness. But you might need laser eye surgery to keep track of the graphics as Jack reaches full sprint.

Prettier, shootier, and bigger than its predecessor, but also a touch awkward at times. Still very much recommended though.

The full Skylanders experience for your tablet device, and a superb game in its own right: Trap Team is one heck of an achievement.

A conventional collection of entertaining gamebook action, The Sagas of Fire*Wolf is a solid entry into the Tin Man canon.

Sharp and shiny in all the right places, Monsu is a solid addition to the endless runner genre.

An unflinchingly tough, sometimes frustrating experience, Futuridium EP Deluxe just about has the gameplay so you can see past its foibles.

A funny, entertaining puzzler. Adventure Xpress might not be the freshest game on the App Store, but it's fun all the same.

Turbo Dismount is a single-note game, but it plays that note painfully well.

Sniper Elite by way of CSR. Kill Shot is dumb free to play fun, but don't expect anything truly ground breaking.

Beatbuddy HD is dripping with charm and good intentions, but repetitive ideas, annoying controls, and frequent bugs lead to disappointment.

Takes a good board game and uses all the digital tricks to make a truly great app.

The Pokémon TCG is a truly engrossing card battler. This digital version is generous with content and feels great, but technical hitches hold it back from greatness.

It's not often that a movie tie-in game amounts to anything better than "awful" and Interstellar doesn't do much to buck that trend.

A bright combination of retro arcade gameplay and modern flourishes, Air Supply - SOS will leave you gasping for more.

An interesting idea that becomes a not particularly interesting game.

A strategy game that can be enjoyed by strategy buffs and noobs alike. Practically essential for Vita owners.

It's not exactly Asphalt, but Overdrive is bright and bold enough that you'll enjoy it for a while at least.

An engrossing tower defence game that takes a slightly different - if occasionally awkward - route to success.

A brilliantly well put together football sim with a clever card collecting system that's bound to snare anyone with an interest in the beautiful game.

A classic example of a quality game almost ruined by ham-fisted free-to-play elements. If you don't mind regularly splashing cash though, then the core game can be a lot of fun.

Plunder Pirates is a superbly constructed strategy management game that might well tempt over fans of Clash of Clans, Boom Beach, and their ilk.

A jolly, entertaining, sweet-natured puzzler that starts off simple but will smash your brains out with a (coloured) box later on.

Brilliant in every aspect of its uniqueness, yet suffering from its almost deliberate lack of depth, Smarter Than You feel like more of a novelty than a revolution.

Super Smash Bros is as fast, frenetic, and wonderfully satisfying on handheld. And this pint size version has more of everything - including fighters, trophies, and modes.
