Pocket Gamer - For Dallas Tanner, death was swift and ignoble. Bursting into the door of a tidy Kabul office occupied by Afghani terrorists, the brave fireteam leader made the fatal decision to turn right instead of left. As he blinked through the lens of a holographic sight trained on an innocent pot plant, behind him his smiling killer emptied several rounds into his backside.

Pocket Gamer - Tactical turn-based RPGs usually contain a heady mix of engrossing story and addictive gameplay, but only a handful manage to marry the two as spectacularly as, say,Fire Emblem: Awakening. A good tactical RPG calls on tactical cunning and strategic insight, but the experience as a whole also rests on strong characters and situations. Agetecs Break Tactics is a valiant effort at something special, but it just cant hold its own against the best the genre has to offer.

Pocket Gamer - It might sound like a tie-in with the new Oz movie, but Monsters Invade: Oz has absolutely nothing to do with Sam Raimi's recent prequel. Instead, this new release from LittleBox is a monster-battler with a really simple, almost child-like visual style. Will I come out the other side unscathed? Or will I want to find a yellow coloured road made of bricks as soon as I start playing?

Pocket Gamer - Kairosoft's output is nothing if not consistent, and since the release of Game Dev Story in 2010, the Japanese developer has churned out one fiercely addictive management sim after another. But while the likes of Pocket Academy and Hot Springs Story showcased the studio's knack for imaginative variation on a managerial theme, Pocket League Story 2 marks a return to old ground.

Pocket Gamer - In the old days, scores were settled with duels. The two aggrieved parties faced off against each other on the field of combat, and only one of them left alive and with his honour intact. We like to think we live in more civilised times now, preferring to post anonymous, hate-filled things on the internet rather than engaging in sword fights at dawn. Gentlemen! offers a digital solution. Two competitors face off across the field of an iPad, with only one of them winning the points and plaudits at the end of the round.

Pocket Gamer - I'm a bearded chef riding a skateboard down a corridor in a restaurant, waving a meat cleaver and a shotgun, and hacking apart mutated vegetable zombies that are intent on snacking on my fleshy bits. And yet I'm still a bit bored.

Pocket Gamer - The stereotypical fantasy dwarf is short and hard, making Greedy Dwarf a pretty good representation of the real thing. It's sometimes hard, and it's very short. The gameplay revolves around revolving. You play as the eponymous dwarf, barrelling down vast, magma-filled, predominantly cylindrical caverns in a minecart picking up as much gold as you can. The gimmick is that your little freewheeling cart can travel all the way around the inside of the cylinder.

Pocket Gamer - It's not immediately apparent how a niche toy that had its heyday 30 years ago might be a perfect fit for the iOS conversion treatment. Scalextric was expensive, time-consuming, tricky to master, and demanded lots of space - all things that would seem to run counter to key mobile gaming principles.

Pocket Gamer - If you've ever played pool on a novelty table, you'll know that it's much less fun than it looks. As soon as the cueball bounces off at an inconceivable angle or ends up behind a corner it becomes painfully clear that pool relies on simple geometrical predictability. Without that, you're just hitting things with a stick.

Pocket Gamer - Lately, social puzzle games have been all about stuffing candy in your face. The sweet buffet continues with Sugar Rush, an iOS match-three puzzler from Full Fat Games. At first glance, Sugar Rush appears to be trying to copy Candy Crush Saga's magical recipe, but it actually does its own thing. Unfortunately, it doesn't follow through with its interesting gameplay mechanics, and it suffers as a result.
