Humdrum presentation mingles with a bare minimum of gameplay to spawn a unique experiment, but little else.

More frustrating than the first chapter, Sorcery! 2 still spins a compelling yarn. Here's hoping chapter three isn't another six months off.

Though its core systems are pretty much identical, Sid Meier’s Ace Patrol: Pacific Skies’s shift to a more technologically advanced conflict and thoughtful enhancements make it every bit the worthy sequel.

A clever and well-put together-homage, Ittle Dew is let down slightly by some control issues, but it's still an entertainingly retro romp.

A well-put-together endless-runner, Miner Problem is as generic as they come.

A novel abstract strategy game that checks all the boxes for a fantastic digital experience and is charming enough, despite occasional accessibility issues, to win over abstract cynics like me.

Grind-filled hands-off gameplay plus a licence with barely any traction in English speaking countries does not a good card battler make.

Presenting colourful soccer action in a pleasingly strategic way, Soccer Moves just lacks a little of the fluidity and expansiveness of the great game.

A clever blending of two licences, Star Wars: Tiny Death Star does exactly what you'd expect it to.

Rayman Fiesta Run is another giddy and breathless mix of memory and reflexes. It's not much different from its prequel, but the added challenge is welcome.

With the new scavenger hunt mode included, the Vita version of Proteus has something to offer that the PC version didn't, but it's still a polarising experience.

Chippy is a charming and addictive time-management game, but a few issues hold it back from being a must-have.

Bland and tedious, Naught 2 offers a gentler challenge than the frustrating original, but little else of note.

There's fun to be had here. But while Vlad's strengths are many, its weaknesses stick their heads up a little too often.

It'll likely find a sizeable audience, but there are problems with Axes & Allies that keep it from greatness.

Mixing elements from Angry Birds, Swords and Soldiers, and the best tower-defence games, CastleStorm is the real deal for PS Vita.

Quick to pick up but difficult to master, Hometown Story's a tough sell but will yield an investment of enjoyable, quick play sessions if you're patient.

As lunk-headed and clumsy as a drunken Viking, Thor takes a hammer to the action-RPG genre with its clunky controls and cynical IAP system.

The first non-linear Layton game turns out to be one of the best. Professor Layton and the Azran Legacy is a selection of stories and puzzles well worth your time.

A brilliantly realised audio adventure, Papa Sangre II is a creepy masterpiece.

Compelling enough at first, this sports management sim doesn't have the hook(shot) required to keep you invested it in for the season.

Rally done right: WRC 4 is an excellent racing game and should be a instant buy for any self-respecting Vita owner with a thing for speed.

A gorgeous, massive tower offence game, Anomaly 2 is good fun, but it's more of the same.

Pocket God: Ooga Jump is a reasonably competent take on Doodle Jump, but flat gameplay and a remarkably stingy currency system limit its already modest potential.

It may look sweet and innocent, but this match-three puzzler is anything but when it comes to IAPs. The tactless begging for cash results in a product that's very poor value for money.

There's a great puzzle game here, but Fright Heights loses itself too often in difficulty spikes and cruelty.

It may be more of the same, but that's alright by us. CSR Classics is another quality round of car collecting, upgrading, and drag racing.

There are a few enjoyable moments, but Oil Rush doesn't manage to thread them together into an entertaining whole.
