    Sub-par controls and uneven presentation keep 2K's NBA series from finding the net for another year.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Despite extensive character customisation options and an intuitive control system, Monkey Boxing lacks the depth to truly go the distance.

    • 60 Critic Score
    War of the Fallen is an entertaining card battler for people who like card battlers, but there's nothing new here for anyone who's sworn off the genre completely.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A badly dubbed point-and-click that at least packs the artwork to get you in the mood for the next Broken Sword - but it’s not the main event.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Fast paced and addictive, Gold Diggers is an arcade blast that ticks the right boxes.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Dull, repetitive, and packed with ads, The Maze Runner might keep you entertained during the movie's opening trailers, but not far beyond.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A relatively fresh but extremely punishing take on the endless climber.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Gear.Club Unlimited is a good racing game, but it seems to lack that sweet, satin finish on the Switch that's so apparent on mobile.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Poor design prevents the cool idea that is Star Wars: Battle for Hoth from becoming a great tower defence game.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It's certainly a looker, but Paper Titans is a little too shallow once you get past its gorgeous facade.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A mix of FarmVille, Clash of Clans, and any other popular freemium builder you care to mention released in the last couple of years, the only thing Epic can call its own is its licence.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Your standard Lego game, only without the big name licence to carry you through the dull bits. Kids will still enjoy the simple gameplay, but their parents? Not so much.

    • 70 Critic Score
    It's almost instantly forgettable, but Pokemon Quest is a charming and enjoyable way to fill the time before the bigger games land.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Phantasy Star Portable teeters on the edge of being too complicated but its innovative controls ensures the action RPG always stays playable.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Don't be fooled by the sickly sweet visuals – Roll in the Hole has a sadistic difficulty level which is amplified by awkward controls. It might exude a casual aura, but most players will end up as frustrated as a zoo keeper with a pair of endangered but romantically uninterested pandas.

    Dark Knight is a pale imitation of the Arkham games, with boring combat, cheap presentation, and dull missions. It works, but it never thrills.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Although its appeal won't last forever, Assault Commando still offers some enjoyable shooting action and neatly invokes warm feelings of classics action games and movies.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Not without some slowdown issues on older models, Warheads nevertheless offers an explosive, enjoyable take on missile defence.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Repetitive action and a largely vacuous storyline do nothing to disguise the fact that DJ Rivals is essentially an advert for its Facebook-based big brother Nightclub City.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A neat central idea, held together by some decent level design, Burger Cat is let down by some sloppy controls and a few bad decisions.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    An entertaining twist on the endless-runner, A Wonderland Story misses out on greatness by throwing too many ideas at the player.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    There's a solid idea at the heart of Spoiler Alert, but it never quite manages to turn it into a stellar game.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Runaway: The Dream of the Turtle's woeful mechanics and clunky puzzle solving turn a promising adventure into a bit of a nightmare.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    While it tries to tackle some of the problems inherent in the smartphone FPS, Razor: Salvation ends up feeling dull because of it.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A worthy film tie-in, but it lacks the vibrancy and action demanded by a team with this sort of rich comic book heritage.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Don't expect much in the way of useful tuition if you're an experienced player but for the novice this is a superb place to start.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    A brilliant variation on the endless-runner genre, Worm Run is breathless, addictive fun of the highest calibre.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Tekken 3D nails its formula but doesn't provide much room to show off and flex it. As far as arcade fighters go, there are better, more substantial alternatives now with much cheaper price tags.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Captain America: Sentinel of Liberty has strong core concept in terms of its gesture gameplay, but rough edges blunt its appeal.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Borderlands 2 is an essential purchase. It's as simple as that.
