    There's a lot to like here, and if you're a fan of gaming's past then you're going to lose a lot of your time in The Deep Paths.

    Stupid, glitteringly bright, and a little bit broken, WWE WrestleFest still manages to capture the slapdash drama and violent hilarity of the ring.

    There's no better game to demonstrate the cool new ways to interact with the Vita, but Little Deviants's long-lasting appeal is minimal, relying on too few gameplay ideas over too long a period of time.

    Square Planet looks the part, and it has plenty of good ideas, but a less-than-perfect physics engine lets it down.

    An enjoyable cliché while it lasts, but ultimately this is an average package that few players will be able or willing to justify shelling out for.

    The Eternal Night tries its best to capture the classic Spyro recipe, but is let down by poor design, an unfair camera and infuriating difficulty spikes.

    Globulos Party offers great local multiplayer fun, but is a little too hit and miss as a single-player game.

    A cynical reskin of Kingdoms of Camelot: Battle for the North, The Hobbit: Kingdoms of Middle-earth will be a disappointment to Tolkien fans and experienced freemium city-builders alike.

    Convoluted and grind-focused, Sword Art Online: Hollow Realization will alienate newcomers and potentially bore old fans.
    • 56 Metascore

    The presentation is great and there's lots packed in, but the core platforming of Rayman Raving Rabbids is unfulfilling.

    Xevious is a true arcade classic, offering a delicate slice of shooting action that will seriously test your gaming skills. The asking price, however, is far too high to fully recommend.

    The Elder Scrolls: Castles is a fantastical kingdom management sim in which you'll build your castle, send adventurers on quests, and make royal decisions that will affect your subject's loyalty and happiness.

    Do your part to stop the spread of Coded Arms Contagion and its uninspired strain of first-person action. Crippled controls and multiplayer malaise prove far too potent against its beautiful looks.

    It's too short, feels tired and repetitive – not unlike war, Fighter's Battle seems mostly futile.

    Fast & Furious 6: The Game is the simplest, most accessible, and graphically impressive of the current set of drag racers.

    Surf's Up uses its licence well but flawed execution means it fails to get the pulses racing. Fans of the film can dive on in, but the rest of us will have more fun back on dry land.

    DynamoKid Touch has neither the instant appeal of Canabalt nor the breadth of play of a full platformer to make it fully satisfying.

    Effectively a fancy way of playing rock-paper-scissors online, The Witcher: Versus possesses some interesting supporting features that do much to hide this fact, but not enough to hold your attention for long.

    A rough draft for what could become a masterpiece, Bakushow is messy, unfinished and not yet worth the money.

    • 30 Critic Score
    A poorly put together dungeon crawler with little personality and bad controls.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A formulaic hack and slash action RPG that doesn't even manage to get that bit right.

    Deadly Premonition 2's is a game built exclusively for fans of the original, and even they will be put off by the endless bugs, horrible performance, and questionable design.

    The PSP has been crying out for a brand new classic Japanese RPG for a long time now. Dragoneer's Aria, as a wholly average expression of the genre that's of interest to super-fans only, is not the game to answer its melancholy call.

    More flawed than fun, Star Wars: Imperial Academy is a mess of a shooter that fails to do justice to ngmoco's FPS track record or the Star Wars universe.

    Danger Boat is a perfectly pleasant, but completely uneventful entry in a very tired genre. There are at least seventeen zillion better endless-runners on the App Store.

    The DS version trumps the PSP edition, but it's a hollow victory - this is lightweight stuff that many players will find is only entertaining for a worryingly short a period of time.

    Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 possesses appealing visuals that give it the swagger of a prize fighter, but the botched controls and anaemic fighter roster expose the game underneath as a featherweight with a glass jaw.

    One for fans of the film only as charismatic visuals are not enough to mask problematic controls and monotonous gameplay.

    A lot of love has gone into this Mega Man homage, as evidenced by its attractive 2D world, but the simple mechanics of running, jumping, and exploring just aren't of a high enough quality.
    • 56 Metascore

    A swing and a miss from creator Dong Nguyen. Swing Copters is too demanding for a big audience, and too simple for a niche one.
