    The game just doesn't hit the mark for us when it counts.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    While the level design was good, it never left us searching for a solution for long, making it a nice option for younger gamers who may struggle with complex designs and tricky solutions in other offerings.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The graphics are average, the music is ok, and the controls are pretty good, though the touch controls (which are superior to the joystick) often leave you peering around your fingers to see the level.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Despite its interesting premise and sharp visuals, Fury of the Gods fails to offer exciting or compelling long-term play.
    • 74 Metascore

    • 61 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Featuring a solid physics engine, flashy graphics, and an even larger open-world sandbox than they’ve offered before, Gangstar Vegas certainly looks the part though despite some control quirks.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Featuring a minimalistic presentation and though-provoking challenges, Exponential Invasion should get any good mathematician's juices flowing.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Featuring a wealth of devious traps, stringent time limits, and an isometric viewpoint that often leaves us wondering where our main character went, This Could Hurt is one of those games you love to hate.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Featuring crude imagery and humor and familiar slingshot physics, Bullistic Unleashed is a fun, demolition-focused offering that comes with somewhat limited appeal.

    • 60 Critic Score
    With a cartoony graphical style and frantic gameplay, Madcoaster will have you cross-eyed as you try to keep up.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Despite its out-of-this-world theme, variety of interactive aircraft, and continued engaging gameplay, the inclusion of a bunch of typical freemium tactics meant to drain your wallet have practically erased the goodwill built up by its predecessor.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Despite its solid core and decent execution, this is a game with a lack of presentation polish.

    It's hard to imagine this title entertaining anyone but young kids for more than a couple of minutes.
    • 55 Metascore

    • 60 Critic Score
    While we typically look forward to the exciting new additions that Madden manages to pack into its offerings, it seems we'll have to wait until Madden 13 to find any changes of significance.

    Eschewing the typical criminal storyline that gave purpose to GTA's mayhem, Payback 2 HD simply provides you with a series of bite-sized situations that put you into heart-pumping action sequences meant to keep your adrenaline flowing.

    • 60 Critic Score
    Bigfoot offers interesting gameplay with a mysterious twist.
    • 48 Metascore

    With a focus on drifting and burnouts, don't expect a NASCAR experience when you don your driving gloves and put the pedal to the metal.

    • 60 Critic Score
    Despite the pedigree of its inspiration, HEAVY – sword fails to deliver the same warm fuzzies as a certain Italian plumber.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Featuring pretty undersea backdrops teeming with a variety of maritime fauna and a quirky coin-collecting mechanic that uses a variable reward structure, Fishing Joy II has the looks but lacks the excitement to keep us interested for very long.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Despite a couple of game modes and an attempt at creating some backstory, The Lost Shapes fails to feel fresh and simply adds yet another ho-hum option to the puzzle genre.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Learning the proper amount of swiping force to use to take the shortest and quickest routes through the levels will take some practice. Overall, it's a fun and relaxing journey to enjoy.

    • 60 Critic Score
    Reminiscent of titles such as Aqua Moto Racing or even Wave Race for the N64, Riptide GP takes the visuals to the next level, though is does so at the expense of control options, quality AI, and overall content.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    While Car Toons! doesn't offer a lot of challenge for older gamers, youngsters should find the tap controls, fun cars, and simple puzzles fairly engaging.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Despite a handful of game modes and a fairly smooth experience overall, 2K14 reinforces the adage that all that glitters is not gold.

    When baby birds are hungry, no obstacle is too great to overcome to placate the little ones.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    While we really wanted to enjoy this offering as much as the plethora of quality shooters that Gameloft has released over the past couple of years, the horrendous AI, odd storyline, and surprisingly spotty controls drain most of the fun and excitement out of it.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A departure from their usual hidden object adventures, Jumpster's misnomer (Flingster might have been more appropriate) isn't nearly as egregious a misstep as its overly aggressive IAP system.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    While not all sports seem that conducive to this control style, gamers may find some of these offerings to be a fun timewaster.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Touch Racing Nitro has wonderful potential that we feel can be reached with a few app updates. It's a little steep at $3.99, and we recommend waiting for an update.

    • 60 Critic Score
    Featuring a variety of helmeted vermin who interact differently with their environments, Hamster Cannon is mildly entertaining but it ultimately fails to stand out.

    • 75 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It simply wasn't as enjoyable as we'd hoped it would be. The lack of social gaming network integration also limits its replay value.

    • 60 Critic Score
    Featuring interactive puzzles, a multitude of moves and moveable objects, and levels numbering in the triple digits, Peakour is a clever challenge for gamers of all ages.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The controls were responsive, just not sensitive enough.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The controls are swipe-based, showing responsiveness and easy use. Unfortunately, the angle of the drawn platform doesn't seem to have much impact on the direction that Cosmo bounces, as it does in other similar titles.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A free-to-play offering, Noble Nutlings is a fun diversion, though its reliance on purchasable boost juice drops it to a 3-Dimple score.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A port of a popular online offering, Combat Arms on iOS fails to live up to our expectations. Is anyone else as frustrated with trailers that appear to show one gaming style while providing a completely different type of game?
    • 53 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score

    • 60 Critic Score
    Despite intriguing new elements like free-roam, skill trees, and co-op multiplayer, there are a number of annoyances in this sequel that make us long for the simplicity of the original.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    While it performs admirably at replicating an intensely intricate task, the control scheme feels unnecessarily challenging to deal with, diminishing the enjoyment we expected to derive from this unique app.
    • 33 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Despite a recent update that fixed that control issues that plagued its initial launch, The Relic remains a sub-par title that lacks both realistic animations and a sense of enjoyment that would compel us to keep playing.
    • 47 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Despite its stylish graphics and solid core concept, rComplex suffers from a number of small issues that compound to create a less-than-enthralling debut.
    • 48 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score

    Despite its appealing presentation, Speedway GP 2011 has an awkward control style and short gameplay that failed to impress us.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Despite employing a similar art style as many of their other offerings, Random Runners fails to excite or intrigue us in any way.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A flop.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    With all of the polished and engaging games available from the app store, we're bound to come across a few clunkers now and then that just don't live up to their descriptions and hype. Legendary Outlaw is one such title.
