    Featuring increasingly more difficult levels and timing- and momentum-based puzzles, Mummy's Treasure is a worthy entrant into a somewhat tired genre.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A clever game of one-upmanship, Agents! is a one-on-one battle to be the first to uncover the secret documents and get out of the building alive.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Although powered by bright neon colors, 3D levels, and beautiful polish, the game's simpleness and uncomfortable controls keep it from being a truly exceptional game.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    While the gameplay is highly reminiscent of a Risk-type combat game, this iteration just doesn't live up to the classic.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    As is the hallmark of Dr. Knizia's games, balanced gameplay and a good stroke of luck is of the highest order en route to victory over your cunning opponents.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    This auction-based title offers Knizia's traditional balanced strategy gameplay for a slightly confusing, yet ultimately wholly satisfying, experience.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    A collection of different maps and efficient push-notification online multiplayer make it an amazing world domination game.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    As usual, the "everything in moderation" philosophy is in full force in this turn-based strategy game that's both thought-provoking and enjoyable.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Despite a seemingly complicated set of rules, Keltis is quite easy to grasp and a fun exercise in strategic gameplay.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Though a slick and stylish end-of-days racing game on the surface, Uber Racer's clumsy controls and unforgiving nature negate the eye candy and relegate this one to the pits.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Featuring a fresh control scheme and an overall enjoyable experience, Drift Mania Championship is a highlight reel of slick track stunts and flashy racing.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A flop.

    • 80 Critic Score
    MonsterTruck Rally impressed us with vivid visuals, rip-roaring sounds, and sweet dirty realism. If you love racing titles, are looking for something beyond the pavement, and can overlook the current lack of online competition, you'll find MonsterTruck Rally a entertaining pastime.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Following in the tradition of other Dr. Knizia classics, it'll take balanced play and strategic moves to beat your opponents and take home the top prize.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Bringing a unique hand-drawn style and simple controls, this offering fails to make any significant strides to stand out in an oversaturated market.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The game's simple concept and addicting game modes make it essential for the casual gamer.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Though it's not the most visually impressive game out there, Clock Blocks manages to delight with a solid concept, dead simple controls, and multiple game modes.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Offering Team Phobic's distinctive style with interesting level designs and a female lead character, Undead Island is another solid addition to the platforming genre.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    For some reason, though, it just didn't feel as engaging as we'd hoped.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    You'll need quick reactions and steady hands to top the leaderboard in this offering that's good wholesome family fun.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    With its charming presentation and familiar mechanics, there is little reason not to enjoy jailbreaking these bugs.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It's hard to imagine this title entertaining anyone but young kids for more than a couple of minutes.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A really well-done game and a lot of fun for players who enjoy thinking their way to victory rather than button-mashing.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    The controls are dead simple, requiring only taps to effect any on-screen behaviors. Replay value is high due to global leaderboards through GameCenter and a serious "one-more-try" vibe.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Drawing some inspiration from Mirror's Edge and giving gamers an early look at the environment of the upcoming Hoverworld, Diversion provides a startling amount of content in a crazy fun little package.
    • 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.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Replay value is very good, as the game has a strong one-more-try aspect to it and chasing people on the leaderboards can be a lot of fun.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The overall appearance is a little fuzzy and washed out, but serviceable.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    With its Space Invaders style play and good use of touch screen controls, MecaPix is an engaging action-puzzler that requires nimble fingers and a little foresight to succeed.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    At $0.99, it would be worth snagging if we knew that the controls would get tightened up.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    In all, it quite fun and it does make you want to keep playing to see what comes next.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    As usual, there is a great deal of strategy involved in determining which cards to play and when. We enjoyed this game a lot and can see it fitting in nicely with our other Dr. Knizia titles.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Featuring physics-based challenges and a simple presentation, Juice Belts forces you to put on your thinking cap to solve its myriad of puzzles.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Featuring the same great play as its iPhone counterpart, Silverfish MAX makes terrific use of the larger screen and adds Bluetooth controller support to boot.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Despite its appealing presentation, Speedway GP 2011 has an awkward control style and short gameplay that failed to impress us.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Controls are tap/swipe-based, offering an intuitive and responsive method of interacting with the game.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The soundtrack is catchy and the controls are intuitive and effective. Replay value is great, and the GameCenter/OpenFeint integration gives you the opportunity to challenge others on the leaderboards and pick up achievements along the way.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 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.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    While better than many of the offerings we've come across, GRave Defense HD just didn't strike the right chord with us, achieving only a 3.5 Dimple score for this $2.99 creepfest.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Technically sound, but provides limited content and little excitement.
    • 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.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Replay value is very good, as the high score nature lends itself to repeated plays and the breadth of options leaves you with plenty to do. GameCenter integration provides global leaderboards and achievements to earn.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Swapping jet skis for fan boats, you take on the role of a bayou-based smuggler looking to make a boatload of cash.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Replay value is good, as you'll need to try several strategies before hitting on the optimal solution and earning gold. Also, forked pathways on the level map allow you to bypass some of the 50 available levels if you like, so you'll probably have additional puzzles to go back and solve even after working through the game.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The gameplay is identical to the original, allowing you to drag our hero's body to slingshot him around the board, collecting items and avoiding/killing any enemies in your way.

    • 60 Critic Score
    SummitX does try to set itself apart through its terrific visuals and unique control system. The environments show good variety and multi-forking paths that offer different experiences based on your decisions.

    • 80 Critic Score
    A simple concept at its core, Color Conquest requires smart play and a good deal of luck to find high-scoring success.
    • tbd Metascore

    • 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.

    • 90 Critic Score
    Coinciding with the big tournament, Euro Soccer brings updated rosters, crisper animations, and the same quality soccer action that makes First Touch a stand out developer.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Mixing beautiful scenery with a few game types and a backstory that doesn't quite resonate as intended, Lost Souls fails to set itself apart from others like it, though it does provide another solid title if you are into this genre.
    • tbd Metascore

    Featuring dual-player controls and team-based challenges, Split! makes you work for your freedom with mixed results.

    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.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Featuring a cool retro style and an expansive world to explore, Pilot's Path creates a casual experience with wide appeal.
    • tbd Metascore

    • tbd Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    Replay value is present in spades, as the combination of strategy and luck make for a unique experience every time.

    After releasing one of our favorite strategy games, Neuroshima Hex, we had high hopes for the follow-up offering and can gladly report that Army of Frogs is a more simplified, but equally challenging, board game.
