    Proof that you should never judge a book by its cover, Galaxy Pirate Adventure's sumptuous visuals can't make up for its shallow, repetitive gameplay.

    It may not be a must buy title, but simple mechanics married with tricky level design provides a rather challenging game that, while frustrating, urges you to have one more try.

    Its parts might not quite work together, but Death Golf is still a mostly entertaining little arcade game.

    Taking cues from Sonic, Mario, and other platforming greats, Jett Rocket II is an enjoyable, if flawed, variety-filled adventure.

    A limp revival of a lost iOS classic, Swords & Poker Adventures offers an interesting mix of RPG, card game, and strategy ingredients, but the preparation has been fumbled.

    Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law flies in the face of habeus corpus, holding a funny animated series hostage to a smattering of bad jokes and non-existent gameplay.

    Trailblazers is a great idea poorly executed, thanks to wonky controls and no real sense of achievement.

    Despite some control issues, Fading Shadows is an exceptionally imaginative puzzle game that will offer a long-lasting challenge and plenty of fun marble-based exploration for any PSP owner.

    Bouncy, flouncy, and quite a bit of fun, this over-the-top brawler delivers equal measures of fan service and classic brawling gameplay with wanton glee.

    Splash or Crash does exactly what it says on the tin, but it needs a lot more to keep us coming back.

    Dull, repetitive, and just not that funny, Vote!!! won't keep you entertained no matter your political persuasion.

    Metal Torrent has the makings of a fantastic space shooter, but is severely let down by a lack of content.

    Super Neptunia RPG isn't very good. Play SteamWorld Quest for a decent 2D RPG, or Octopath Traveller. Just don't bother with this.

    Those yearning for another Lego adventure would do well to invest in Lego City Undercover: The Chase Begins.

    A clear advance from last year's wretched instalment, NFL 2011 fumbles with a number of issues new and old that prevent it from scoring big.

    A nice icebreaker for RPG noobs, but this short-lived fairytale will leave experts looking for other page-turners.

    A fun, if slightly repetitive, zombie-killing driving game with a Tyrannosaurus rex and UFO thrown in for good measure.

    There's a strange emptiness at the core of Re-Volt Classic, and while it's sometimes enjoyable, you never feel like you're having as much fun as you should be.

    There's fun to be had here, but Nakama doesn't have enough meat on its bones to really recommend.

    A rushed port of a clumsy adaptation can't disguise the quality game shining underneath.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    There's a decent chunk of space-based action here, but it loses its shine perhaps a little too quickly.

    A dull and uninspired mess of a physics puzzler, Rabbids Big Bang is one to avoid.

    No-frills action makes Warriors Orochi a decent portable experience, especially with co-op multiplayer and the promise of hours and hours of enjoyable - if similar - gameplay.

    Noble Nutlings tries to achieve that elusive Angry Birds-style charm and simplicity, but ends up being frustrating, expensive, and simply rather joyless.

    An unabashed celebration of modern otaku culture, Conception II is a dungeon crawler that hits a just right-balance of silly and enjoyable if you don't take it too seriously.

    • 70 Critic Score
    A simple and straightforward package, light on extras but boasting an excellent core that will particularly please puzzle fans with a penchant for order and neatness.

    This latest puzzler from veteran Alex Pajitnov looks like it was made in the '80s, but it provides a hefty challenge and it's free.

    A 'jobber' is a wrestler whose primary role is to lose to other, better opponents. It's what WWE SmackDown vs Raw 2008 feels like.

    Very much a case of style over substance, Legendary Heroes looks like an exciting action-RTS game, but plays like a freemium PowerPoint presentation.
