    Sure, Game of War - Fire Age isn't a great game, but the people playing it are an entertaining bunch indeed.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A convoluted selection of puzzle mini-games with lots of surface variety, but not a lot of substance beneath
    • 67 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Docking Sequence is an odd sort of reactionary arcade game that's not without its charm.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The gems might not shine as brightly as you remember, but Namco Museum DS is a reasonable collection of bygone classics.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Squad Command strives to be as accessible as possible, and while the casual slant is clearly a great idea, a few basic issues prevent the game from being all it could be.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Though fans of the series may be able to excuse its technical issues, this isn't the top-end collection it could have been to attract new players to this classic series.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A fun feline firing fest, but lacking something special.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Fans of the show will enjoy the characters and humour, but everything else Phone Destroyer has to offer is done better elsewhere.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    A good idea executed poorly, Capcom Arcade offers little worthwhile gameplay.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Monster Life is one of the prettiest and best constructed social freemium titles we've ever seen, but its core gameplay systems don't offer anything new or particularly interesting.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    The core implementation of placing trampolines to bounce your pangolin up-screen is just a little too unwieldy to heartily recommend. Nevertheless, the art's great and the physics are spot on.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Supermarket Mania is a little tedious at first, but casual players will enjoy the fast-paced action on offer.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Armageddon is a straightforward castle vs. castle battler that opts for simplicity and a high level of difficulty over creativity and depth.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Heist is a great slice of first-person bank-robbing action for smartphones, but its very brief length is a sore point.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    All the extra layers and shiny cartoon looks can't disguise the fact that Zombie Fish Tank is a small fish in a very big pond.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    A dull, shockingly cynical waste of time, which is all about grinding for upgrades, and almost nothing about skill or strategy.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It's not perfect, and the controls in particular are annoying, but there's a decent management sim here all the same.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Dungeon Defenders never gets the opportunity to show off its creative gameplay due to a poorly designed interface.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    With awful level design and just two hours of gameplay, Sonic Generations is not the return to form that we were hoping for.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A well-constructed social freemium game, but one that becomes more awkward and less appealing as the game progresses.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    simian.interface is a stylish and mildly interesting game that will appeal to avant-garde gamers but probably won't satisfy anybody looking for a substantial puzzle game experience.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    If a landslide of repetitive battles with cluttered combat is your thing, then this game fits the bill. At least you'll never be at a loss for laughs.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The definitive handheld version, Transformers DS boasts decent gameplay, good presentation and clever online features that go beyond traditional movie-licensed fare.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    There's a lot to like in Gun Commando's retro remodelling of the FPS, but it's hampered somewhat by the clumsy nature of the touchscreen controls.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A simplistic, reasonably captivating blend of turn-based exploration and real-time combat that's disappointingly hollow without additional investment.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Initial perceptions of a rather clumsy Canabalt clone are wide of the mark, as Gravity Runner gradually blossoms into an addictive platform-puzzler.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A no-brainer if you're a fan of the series, but for anyone else it's really neither here nor there. If you like young girls with big guns and have a penchant for middle-of-the-road action-RPGs, this may well be for you.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Excellent presentation, and an enjoyable concept go a long way to concealing the fact that this is a pretty standard free-to-play management game.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Happy Home Designer is a nifty little game for creative souls, but it may not hold your attention for too long if home decor isn't your schtick.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Oceanhorn: Monster of Uncharted Seas is right at home on the Nintendo Switch, if only it implemented more of the console's features.
