Games

RAD Soldiers isn’t quite the crack squad game it wanted to be, but it’s a commendable diversion for the tablet tactician who can’t get enough of ordering little people to their doom.

Repulze tests reflexes and concentration with its occasionally overwhelming fast action gameplay, which could use some balancing in earlier levels.

Speed, skill and – most of all – precision mix to excavate an inventive take on treasure-hoovering puzzles.

Not only an accomplished reflex puzzle for all ages, but a sophisticated fusion of art and design, best enjoyed on the more generous screen of the iPad.

Another rich, epic outing for Ravensword fans, but with controls that newcomers might find a turn-off.

Playable and pretty, but short, uneven and too familiar, a bit like a sequel to a favourite movie with shinier stars that occasionally fall over.

A challenging, hazardously compulsive test of catering strategy with enough variables to keep it from getting repetitive.

The perfect balance of speed, agility and charm, beautifully honed for the touchscreen like few other iOS titles.
