    The end result still doesn't have the personality or verve of Grand Theft Auto or Red Dead Redemption, the novelty of Assassin's Creed, or the crazy acrobatics of Just Cause but it's a better action game than any of them. Clearly that's not necessarily a priority for open world games but it's nice to see it can be done all the same.

    A Diablo clone set in a Fallout style world sounds like a great idea, but the changes this makes to Blizzard's formula are genuinely apocalyptical.

    If you don't like Spec Ops or Face Off there's nothing for you here, but if you do then these new maps, and the excellent Chaos mode, are a lot more hit than miss.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Clever puzzles, immersive presentation, and an intriguing plot combine in one of the most ambitious and original smartphone games of the year.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Getting such an odd idea to work is worth praise alone, but Hybrid feels more like a hypothetical experiment than a genuinely useful innovation.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The PS Vita finally gets something to sing about with a beautifully conceived mix of platform action, striking visuals, and perfectly orchestrated music.
    • 49 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    It looks like Cannon Fodder, and to a degree it plays like Cannon Fodder, but this bizarre sequel lacks the heart, soul, and mind of the 16-bit classic.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A clever spin on the MOBA genre that strips away the complications and nerdy presentation to create a fast-paced but deceptively complex action strategy game.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    An impressively silly mishmash of game styles and historical references that still manages to entertain despite its lack of depth and variety.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    One of the very few pre-smartphone games that is still worth playing, even if this new update only does the bare minimum to keep it relevant.
    • 47 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Rather than fixing the issues with the PC original the console versions only seem to add more problems, as a pirate's life is made to see even more frustrating and repetitive.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Somebody must still love Spy Vs Spy given the amount of effort that's been put into this remake, but the retro charm wears off extremely quickly.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Arguably the most disappointing Super Mario game ever made, and one that certainly doesn't deserve the world 'New' at the beginning of its name.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    The cinematic atmosphere is highly impressive throughout, but that's about the only thing that is in this weirdly inconsistent 2D survival horror.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    One of the best Tower Defense action hybrids so far, with considerably more depth than the original - even if it still looks like the same game.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    The creature editor is still fun, but this is no more a video game than the first version and considerably less value for money.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    A distressingly old school movie tie-in which instead of making imaginative use of the movie's setting creates only a bland copy of the Lego games.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The closest thing so far to a 3D Angry Birds game, but although the Kinect controls are fine it's the gameplay and visuals that need adjusting.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    The creator of Final Fantasy creates… a not very good smartphone mini-game, with annoying controls and all the longevity of a terminally ill butterfly.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The best Pokémon spin-off for years and an engrossing mix of family-friendly warmongering and engaging turn-based strategy.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The closest thing to Ikaruga on a smartphone and despite the psychedelic presentation one of Jeff Minter's more lucid shooters of recent years.
    • 43 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    It looks like Ice Age 4, it sounds like Ice Age 4, and it plays like the frozen carcass of a 5,000 year old mammoth.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Gameloft's cloners have excelled themselves in replicating all the basics of Batman: Arkham City on a smartphone - albeit only at shallow, surface level.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It's not clear what the four year wait was in aid of but despite only a few, small, new ideas this is still one of the best Tower Defense games on any format.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Tony Hawk's Pro Skater in name only, this will infuriate old timers reliving their youth and seem archaically simplistic to everyone else.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    There's barely a single idea here that hasn't been borrowed from elsewhere, and usually done better - but as a compendium of other people's puzzles it still has its charm.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    The problem with the latest Kingdom Hearts is not a lack of new ideas but that almost all of them are awful, and that's before you even consider the script.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    An open-ended puzzler whose only real restrictions are how imaginative you're willing to be in wielding its wonderfully bizarre gadgets.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It may not be fair to compare it to Angry Birds, but it is fair to say this is a slick but slightly listless clone of The Incredible Machine.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A clever 2D platformer that doesn't muddy the waters with overcomplicated concepts or controls - but still has time for some great 3D effects.
