    A well-designed, entertaining take on an excessively familiar formula that's simply too predictable to truly dazzle.

    • 40 Critic Score
    A dull little game that makes being a deity feel decidedly average, Fury of the Gods isn't worth your time.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Mechanically the best of the series and a genuinely accomplished action-RPG in its own right, Dungeon Hunter 4 blows it with a ridiculously pushy IAP system
    • 63 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Beautiful, complex, and intriguing, The Frostrune is an experience not to be missed, so long as you're patient enough to take the journey.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion had the potential to be a neo-old skool classic, but the elements taken from the Epic Mickey series stale those from its Castle of Illusion pedigree, leading to a game that's slower than Toby Tortoise.

    Maths Training looks good on paper and has a few good ideas, but forgets the importance of making learning fun.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    NBA Playgrounds is a half-baked arcade basketball game that's lacking in content and features. Only the die-hard fans need apply.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A mediocre shooter lacking basic options and gameplay fun enough to entice replay.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    It's more Harvest Moon, sure, but it's still top-notch fun, and the inclusion of clear goals this time around should convert some new fans to the series.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Attractive but with deep issues, Red Hot Rumble's contribution to the PSP library can often be an incoherent, confused mess.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Without hotkeys and precision clicks the formula isn't perfect, but Lemmings Touch is about as good as a handheld entry of the series could ever be.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    The gambling introduces a fresh and very welcome dynamic to the beat-'em-up genre, but such innovation is dealt a low blow by a mediocre fighting engine.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    An exciting online arena game that's simple enough for mobile but complex enough to provide plenty of challenge.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    It looks fantastic, and the atmosphere of the game is great, but Nun Attack's shallow and grind-heavy gameplay sucks a lot of the fun out of the package.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Pure Chess attempts to bring asynchronous play to a classic and fails, but the single-player is still worth the entry fee.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Zaxxon Escape takes a classic shoot-'em-up property and completely changes it to a mediocre flavour-of-the-month endless-runner.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    It's cute, but Hose it Down is an uninventive puzzler, filled with dumb design decisions and a paywall as soon as it really gets going.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    State of Mind has a certain charm to it, but it's mired in a confusing story, simple puzzles, poor controls, and plenty of other issues.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    An uninteresting matching puzzler that's slotted into a structure big on monotony, Cradle of Rome demonstrates game concepts shouldn't be built in a day.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A facsimile of everything that made Crazy Taxi great. Crazy Taxi: City Rush is fun, but it's not a patch on the original.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A great-looking and highly promising spin-off to Flick Kick Football that trips up on bitty gameplay and an irritating funding system
    • 63 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Full of rough edges and built on a poor facsimile swing system, Real Golf 2011 comes a distant second in most of the areas that matter despite its online multiplayer.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Homerun Battle 2 strips baseball down to its essence and makes it fun for even non-sports fans.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Action-heavy dungeon-crawling abounds in Dark Avenger, but the repetitive nature of the gameplay robs the title of any long-term appeal.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Somewhere within Earn to Die 2 are the ingredients for some exhilarating ‘one more go' jeopardy-based gameplay, but the recipe used here is downright repulsive.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Brakes are for Losers has some nice ideas, but the package is one that's going to leave you frustrated more often than not.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A fun physics-based puzzler that, with more levels and some fine-tuning, could yet be an iPhone essential.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Making a tiny 'splish' on the App Store, rather than an almighty 'splash', Jelly Splash is a slightly novel entry in a very familiar puzzle sub-genre.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    There's a nice idea here, but the cumbersome controls mean Back to Bed gets tiring pretty quick.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A pretty mixed bag. The last levels are a real blast, and the final cut-scene a genuine thrill. You're ready for more action at the very moment the game decides there is no more.
