    An undeniably good-looking and kid-friendly flight game, Crash Birds Islands stalls thanks to a miserly in-app payment system.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Alice has visual flair, but she's a vapid romp, with platforming gameplay weighed down by its puzzles rather than uplifted by them.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A slick adaption of a classic boardgame that's hampered by poor AI and dodgy online matchmaking, making it far too tough to enjoy with any consistency.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    In spite of some appealing presentation and a suitably epic quest, Illusia possesses a generic nature and ill-conceived controls prevent it from contributing much to the genre.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    After a few games, the veneer peels away and you realise that Starship Battles, while fun for a bit, doesn't have the depth to keep you interested.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A game that sometimes shines, but remains handicapped by some inconsistent failures.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Give it Up! is a super-frustrating rhythm game. Some of that frustration is intentional, but unfortunately some of it isn't.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A great looking and well-designed spatial puzzler marred by curiously sloppy and stodgy controls.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Lumi has the looks, it has the music, and it has the ideas, but it just doesn't have the controls to back them up.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Clearly a clone of Advance Wars, Front Wars doesn't try to hide its influences. Nevertheless, it's worthy of investigation.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Hexy: Puzzle Adventure is a nice, simple puzzler with some unfortunately basic flaws.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Splash or Crash does exactly what it says on the tin, but it needs a lot more to keep us coming back.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It can conjure moments of brilliance, but ultimately The 3rd Birthday is bogged down by indecisive design choices.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It might not have the longevity of its legendary cast of characters, but as long as you don't mind punching things a lot, Justice League: Earth's Final Defense will keep you entertained for a while.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Spirit Stones is a solid puzzle-battle game, but progression is difficult if you don't want to spend money on new cards and stamina refills.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Iron Finger doesn't snatch Wario's mini-game crown, but with some retooling it'd be a decent mini-game collection.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It may not have any ideas of its own, but Song of Swords is still entertaining. However, you're better off downloading Battleheart, the game from which it borrows so much inspiration.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Though it marks a steady improvement over the first game, Ghosts'N Goblins: Gold Knights 2 hasn't taken the strides necessary to lift it above decent status.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A competent and polished beat-matching game in which the core action isn't quite snappy or compelling enough to make a dope impression.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    There's some fun to be had here, but too often Ghost Racer is a source of frustration rather than enjoyment.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    If your favourite take on Batman is the 'biff-bang-pow' kind rather than the 'world's greatest detective' kind, then you'll find plenty to like in this straight-forward button-mashing brawler.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Excellent gameplay and precise controls impress, but a skewed overarching structure means that Splishi Splashi is best enjoyed in small doses.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Mudd Masher has a solid idea at its core, but it doesn't do enough to build on it.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A bright and fun casual runner that lacks the variety and depth of the best games in the genre.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Another solid but unremarkable Games Workshop game hits the App Store.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Spirit Lords is a solid enough game, but it's not as much fun as it could be.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Spellfall is a pretty looking match-3 puzzler that's not without its charm, but its free to play elements get in the way much of the time.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Dawn of the Plow is a simple arcade challenge with surprising depth. It's just a shame that it isn't as responsive as it should be.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Despite some broken levels, Ragdoll Blaster 3 still sometimes captures the spirit that made the original great, but nostalgia isn't enough to make it a must-play.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Rogue Trooper Redux is an odd one for sure. It's far from the classic Rebellion claims it is, but it's un undeniably charming and entertaining blast from the past nonetheless. It's the videogame equivalent of watching an 80s action movie and simultaneously laughing at how ridiculous it is, while also feeling misty-eyed nostalgia for the days of yore. So take from that what you will. It's ugly, not a good cover shooter by today's standards, and a lot of the time it doesn't even work properly. But it's very reminiscent of the period, and will provide fun for those who remember it.
