    Simple and stodgy, Assault Wave offers a good chunk of game, but it loses some of its flavour after a while.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It won't transform your decks, but it does open up a wide range of mouth-watering new options.
    • 78 Metascore

    Although the novel RPG Story element is less refined than it could be, with over-long cut-scenes and some tedious schlepping, Bomberman Story is a worthwhile RPG and, more importantly, a terrific multiplayer experience.

    Emissary of War shows how to make a great iOS dungeon-crawler - it's just a shame there's not more of it.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A neat little sim, but once you get down to the bones of the matter, Pocket Trains is a little too similar to its airborne predecessor.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    This match-three-puzzler-in-RPG-clothing adds just enough flavour to spice up its otherwise passable gameplay.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A slight fudge on its predecessor, PES 2011 is made up of largely the same squad, but never reaches the same heights.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    ModNation Racer's astonishing editing tool and bucketfuls of personality are let down by lacklustre handling and sensation of speed.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A neat and pretty well put together platformer, Lost Journey isn't brilliant, but it is quite a lot of fun.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A solid tower defence game with some decent ideas, if you like the genre Because Zombies is worth a shot.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It scratches all the nostalgia spots but this retooling is a little too unforgiving where it matters most.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Part 3 is an enjoyable continuation of the Back To the Future story, but is still plagued by the technical issues of past attempts.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    What Putty Pals offers that few others do is the sort of couch co-op experience that can have you in fits of giggles one minute and punching the air with satisfaction the next. The Switch could do with a lot more of that sort of thing.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A well-designed, wonderfully frantic climber that's thoroughly enjoyable despite doing little to set itself apart from its genre bedfellows.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Sound Ride's unique graphics and music-building hook add a bit of spice to what's otherwise a relatively vanilla running game.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Backyard Baseball '97 is a charming port of the original 90's computer game featuring quirky players, with commentary and intuitive controls.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Although more puzzles and a level sharing facility would be welcome, the ability to create almost any physics-based simulation on the move means that players can do far worse than TinkerBox.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Colin McRae Rally is a fine racer, but it's sorely let down by some forgotten modes and features, and those seriously outdated visuals.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Simple and linear, Sprinkle Islands never allows room to think, but it's reasonably entertaining all the same.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Short but sweet, Scramble With Friends is a game designed exclusively for the socially-enabled wordplay fan. That said, Zynga With Friends has delivered an addictive puzzler for those willing to engage with friends and randoms alike.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Road Master dishes out great graphics and more than enough thrills to overcome its steep level of difficulty.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The most fully featured and deepest entry in the Patapon series so far, but definitely not the most fun or accessible.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Great fun for a while, but frustration will likely set in before the home stretch. Here's hoping a sequel hits the heights that To-Fu can't quite reach.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A fairly satisfying and good-looking slice-em-up that could do with a bit more polish and difficulty balancing.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Quantic Pinball is a well-executed modern take on pinball, but it needs to step further away from the classic pinball structure to really make us flip out.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A neat distillation of cricket. It's not exactly tactical, but it's quite a lot of fun all the same.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It might lack a little glitz and glamour, but Cubemen 2 is a satisfyingly deep tactical shooter all the same.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Tough but ultimately rewarding, Defense Technica is a surprisingly deep but often cruel tower defence title.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A particularly busy if derivative tower defence game with just enough fresh little touches to make things interesting.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Remember the brawlers of old? This is that. Exactly that, only without the multiplayer you always thought was the best aspect of the genre.
