Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask
- It's not the smartest Layton ever, but it's a huge improvement on Spectre's Call.
- Only the two game modes, but they'll last a while. Great, but not yet perfect.
Angry Birds Trilogy
- It's £30. THIRTY! The equivalent package is under £2 on a phone. Need we say more?
- So familiar it's like an old friend by now. If you've liked it before, you'll like it now.
- A disgracefully cynical 'update' with nothing new. Stick with FIFA 12, it's only a tenner.
- Rare Pokemon fail to mask the tedium in this fleetingly entertaining aside.
- Tough, but with a huge sense of accomplishment. Dauntingly good.
Zelda II: The Adventure of Link
- It can be unforgiving, but this challenging game is an essential piece of Zelda history.
