    While we certainly weren't expecting The Science of Evil to reinvent the wheel, nothing could have prepared us for this hopeless, shambling mockery of a game. Avoid as if your very soul depends on it.

    Monty Python's Cow Tossing is a mediocre physics puzzle game that earns more points for style than substance.

    Gorgeous graphics and a desperate desire to be like Monster Hunter don't compensate for simple gameplay and clunky controls.

    First off, The Croods is extremely slow to get going. Secondly, though Rovio has added a little bit of thought here, it's not sufficient to elevate The Croods above the overcrowded freemium building masses.

    A not particularly impressive experiment in cross-platform storytelling, Electric City The Revolt has its moments, but they're too few and far between.

    Saddled with poor visuals, ineffective controls and a complete lack of engaging content, Tony Hawk's Motion is a crushing disappointment .

    A dreadful mishmash of mini-games, MinDStorm has almost no redeeming features and instead of making you smarter will simply frustrate you.

    Slow to start and laggy at best, NFL Pro 2014 is more disappointing than an afternoon spent watching the Pro Bowl.

    Like its stars, High School Musical 2 is pretty to begin with, but quickly becomes annoying and repetitive.
    • 37 Metascore

    A good low-investment game whose experience is tarnished as you spend more time with it.
