A true evolution of the series, Pokemon X and Y is the most important, expansive, exciting monster-battling title since the earlier days of the franchise.

Another decent-enough Ville game from Zynga, though one that feels much slower than previous entries in the franchise.

Drop That Candy is tasty, but you probably won't want to stuff your face with it.

It's not a game for everyone, but even those outside of the targeted demographic will treasure Hakuoki if they allow themselves to fall into the story.

A massive, complex, unashamedly detailed game, Transport Tycoon is a fine example of a sim done well.

It might not hit the right notes all the time, but Shadowrun Returns has enough going for it to make it an easy recommendation.

The Cave is a really disappointing adventure. It's not very funny, not very clever, and those finicky touchscreen controls are a regular source of frustration.

Helping a cat become obese has never been more fun. If you enjoy flinging birds at pigs, or feeding candy to aliens, then this one's for you.

Amigo Pancho is an entertaining if slight mixture of familiar physics-puzzler elements. It's a thoroughly pleasant casual treat.

By turns enjoyable and frustrating, Tower of Fortune 2 is the slot machine experience in microcosm.

While it does have some nice ideas, TEC 3001 piles them on to quickly, and too haphazardly, to really recommend.

A deeply ordinary endless-runner that frustrates due to its lovely artwork and promising dream world premise.

A neat little sim, but once you get down to the bones of the matter, Pocket Trains is a little too similar to its airborne predecessor.

Divekick's ultra-basic approach is a revelation if you're looking to understand fighting games. And if you're prepared to look past the in-jokes found here, then this is an essential purchase.

Another week, another take on Clash of Clans. This one looks fantastic, but at the cost of performance, adding a little more gameplay depth but never breaking the mould.

A typically polished footy game with a surprisingly generous freemium model. But EA needs to improve the way it plays touchscreen football if it's to keep the paying punters happy for FIFA 15.

A perfectly passable little waste of time, Captain Bubblenaut isn't bad, but it's not that good either.

A charming building game that's full of potential. The core systems and menus are just too much like hard work for all but the most dedicated of virtual grafters, though.

Lost Echo is an adequate point-and-click adventure with a few good puzzles, but it's let down by poor writing, a bland world, and a raft of uninspiring head-scratchers

A spectacular kick in the teeth of the endless-runner genre, Boson X is a brilliant, twitching wonder.

A simple and special hack and slasher, Trouserheart has enough going for it that it's hard to resist.

A stealth-action game that isn't lacking in bright ideas, Riddick: The Merc Files clouds its best bits with a generally clunky, unfinished feel.

A fast and fun arcade game with some wicked challenges, Orborun is a decent reinvigoration of a pretty old genre.

Slow to get going, Cavemania nevertheless brings a new level of tactical skill to match-three gaming.

Dragon Finga has a great concept, but it's so shallow and miserly that it ends up as little more than a drag.
