    Chantelise is a flawed but fun action role-playing game that's charming and challenging in equal doses.

    El Shaddai is such a gorgeous game that it would have been worth playing even if the combat was merely average. But developer Ignition Entertainment gave reasons to play beyond its outstanding visual design. The combat system makes excellent use of its narrow moveset to create an enticing experience that demands focus and determination to prevail.

    Flaky detection and awkward menus seriously hamper this dance fitness game.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    An action-packed tower defense game that improves upon its predecessor at almost every opportunity.

    The ambitious and atmospheric E.Y.E.: Divine Cybermancy will enthrall you, if you can overcome its harsh edges and convoluted mechanics.

    • 55 Critic Score
    With only four uneven missions of downloadable destruction, Path to War offers too little and costs too much.
    • 72 Metascore

    The fast and flashy dual-stick shooting of Galaga Legions DX makes it fun to blast space bugs all over again.

    Fruit Ninja Kinect is sweet, but it doesn't last long, and you'll soon want something a lot more substantial.
    • 41 Metascore
    • 45 Critic Score
    This pricey one-trick pony provides an amusing trot down memory lane, but you'll be saddle sore before you know it.

    • 40 Critic Score
    Trauma is an overpriced collection of panoramic photos with grossly shallow gameplay, wedged into a pretentious shell of a story.
    • 43 Metascore

    Move Ape Escape keeps the charm but loses the fun from its goofy predecessors.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Kill Team's dual-stick shooting action has an old-fashioned arcade appeal, but it's too simple to stand out from the crowd.

    • 40 Critic Score
    A shockingly repetitive platformer.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    Vibrant visuals are undermined by repetitive combat.
    • 56 Metascore

    It's better to walk the plank than to sail the seas of the boring and buggy Pirates of Black Cove.

    Frozen Synapse is a great turn-based game with stirring tactical multiplayer battles that reward clever thinking.
    • 88 Metascore

    Thoughtful puzzles and striking aesthetics make Limbo a cerebral adventure you must experience.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It's too easy to be exciting, but Phineas and Ferb: Across the 2nd Dimension is a varied and entertaining game for young players.

    Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet immerses you in its alien world, but frequent mechanical problems lead to frustration.

    The shrugworthy Legacy add-on extends Dragon Age II but doesn't improve upon it.

    Deadliest Warrior: Legends may make you laugh for a little while, but its sloppy fighting is dead on arrival.
