Magic School Bus: Oceans is a decent enough product, but I didn't feel that it seized enough of the opportunities afforded by the license.

The bundled games are competent, albeit boring, and the software did lock up on me twice. The graphics are serviceable for a Mini, though I thought Smashout was very dull looking.

It's a cheap, but well-made game that packs a surprising amount of replay value with simple, engaging gameplay that keeps you coming back to see just how many rocks and high scores Kovo can smash through.

There's plenty of content and a certain charming novelty about You Monster that necessitates a download both for fans of Portal and Defense Grid. At an attractive 240 Microsoft Points, there's really no good reason to skip this conjoined celebration of top of the line fan service and quality PC gaming culture.

It doesn't play well, it's unfriendly to the first-time user and it looks downright lacklustre. It may entertain some less-accustomed gamers for an hour or so and the soundtrack is impressive but that is not enough to forgive what is a completely uninspiring and underwhelming title.

Technical issues aside, Cubemen is a cleverly produced game that has the potential to keep you engaged for hours. The simple controls, challenging maps and variety of game modes are a potent combination. Once its stability improves, this could be one of the best purchases you make on iOS.

Planets Under Attack is a surprising little strategy game, filled with a lot more depth that what can be seen on the surface.

Pantheon is not a game: it's an experiment on the addiction of instant gratification combined with in-app purchases that grant rewards.

It comes without recommendation, and yet there’s persistence from within to keep this installed. Toilet paper has never been so charming, though it remains anything but a source of necessary entertainment. It has absolutely no reason to exist and for that I salute it.

For now, the wise choice would be for everyone else to wait it out.

Paranormal feels like an alpha build of a final idea, weighted down by the worst horror movie genre nonsense and the current obsession with walking at a snail’s pace to build faux tension.

Traal is a fine example when it all falls into place of the home coding, floppy-disk mentality that once reigned during the Amiga days. Download it, squeeze your phone in frustration and come away surprised. I certainly did.

End Game provides a more than fitting conclusion to Battlefield 3. The fifth expansion is on par with, if not surpassing, the other offerings.

The flawed functionality and often obtuse environments are fortunately not detrimental to the claustrophobia, perhaps even strengthening it, and this is Killer Escape’s strongest suit.

Am I Hero? isn’t morally questionable in the manner of other titles recently reviewed, but this doesn’t excuse the laziness and one hopes that a $49.99 IAP never happens, for I shall make a stand against it. I am hero.

The game is rewarding, colourful and has enough accoutrements (including, in true RPG fashion, optional bosses) to draw you back for multiple play sessions. Locked within it, though, are the seeds of a much more complex, far more satisfying experience, one that the developers might well consider pursuing in the future.

Its animation, voice acting and polished presentation are exemplary, and fans of anime should find much to appreciate in the storytelling.

At its core, Joe Danger has intensely enjoyable gameplay, that can sometimes be held back by superfluous elements. If Hello Games had focused solely on crazy stunts, it could’ve found a stronger identity.

Like all good arcade games, it never reaches for anything deeper than ‘compulsive time-killer’, and this could lead to voices, both internal and external, saying that it’s an empty, flawed experience not worth spending your time or money on.

Trichrome might not go so far as to make you reconsider the existence of triangles, but it should, at least, give you a strange new perspective on them.

It’s simply a repetitive Skinner Box but without any sugar pellets along the way to an anticlimactic conclusion.
