    Although Green Farm is a competent, aesthetically pleasing farming simulation, a lack of originality and omission of social features mean that it's not the ideal escape to the country.

    Fun for a while, Gunpey just doesn't possess the deep gameplay required to be a classic puzzle game.
    • 74 Metascore

    Super Arc Light skirts the edge of brilliance, but it misses the mark and stumbles into obscurity.

    Pokémon Café Mix is a cute puzzle game with an even cuter art style, but that adorable aesthetic can’t mask a simple, but tiring puzzler. There’s nothing wrong with this game, and it’s worth a shot, but it’s not likely to keep you playing for more than a day or two.

    A neat little distraction that should keep your fingers busy for a while.

    DynamoKid Touch has neither the instant appeal of Canabalt nor the breadth of play of a full platformer to make it fully satisfying.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    As puerile as its title suggest, Turd Birds gets by on its bright and breezy appeal and a severe case of mission diarrhoea.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Full marks for originality, but this unusual mixture of RPG and tycoon simulation doesn't quite have the killer ingredients to make it fly off the menu.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A fine concept marries dungeon crawling with Pipe Mania, but it's all too frustrating and fiddly for its own good.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A charming, easy-to-play Dungeon Keeper clone with features that include cooking up captured monsters in soups and stews to level up your party of characters. It's simple but lengthy fun for all ages, but falls short for its limited dungeon building and too much repetition.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A reasonably fun matching game that isn't quite tasty enough to justify spending the time or money necessary to get anywhere with it.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A simple, occasionally enjoyable hack 'n' slasher, Bloody Harry doesn't have the weight to keep you interested for long.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Off-putting, pseudo post-modern comedy nonsense aside, OEG is a slightly lacking shooter / platformer hybrid with wonderful aesthetic vision.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Brilliant in every aspect of its uniqueness, yet suffering from its almost deliberate lack of depth, Smarter Than You feel like more of a novelty than a revolution.
    • tbd Metascore

    DROP'd is an attractive high score-chaser but ultimately lacks content outside of beating a scattering of figures.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    This fantasy epic sets out to be a faithful copy of the 16-bit classics of old, but its poor English script and samey gameplay make it entirely forgettable to anyone but the most dedicated JRPG fan.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It has a decent central core, but Dandelions: Chain of Seeds doesn't quite join all of its parts together well enough to really shine.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Offers some intriguing open-ended gameplay, but is often foiled by weak controls and poor accessibility.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Dracula: The Path of the Dragon strikes a supreme style, but doesn't stake claim to the depth of gameplay and satisfaction to support such an ambitious setting.
    • 66 Metascore

    It's Angry Birds. If you care about that any more then you'll probably find something to enjoy. Just watch out for the timers.

    Happy Home Designer is a nifty little game for creative souls, but it may not hold your attention for too long if home decor isn't your schtick.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    About as hardcore as a whimpering puppy and a bit low on content to boot, but this breezy title makes for a decent enough casual game.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    An incredibly rich and detailed experience, but the control requires far more finesse than a touchscreen offers, and the experience is often as frustrating as it is fun.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    When you strip Snake Eater 3D down to its individual mechanics, it's still a strong, if aged, video game. But this stingy re-release features a dodgy camera and an occasionally unstable engine, making for a package that doesn't do justice to the original release.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A standard card-battler with a shooting gallery element tacked on, Deadman's Cross doesn't do enough to distinguish it from other titles, but what it does do, it does well enough.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Ferris Mueller's Day off is a collection of thoughtful and finely tuned puzzles, surrounded by atrocious cartoon art and abysmal reference humour.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It has a few stand-out moments, but too often Dream Chaser puts a wall between you and your enjoyment.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Indiana Stone is witty and attractive, but at its heart it's a fairly uninspired and unremarkable endless-runner.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Kids will have a whale of a time with this digital boardgame, but parents and older ones will find the goodwill built up by Max's Pirate Planet's fine presentation being eroded by repetition and lack of depth.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Poor writing, conventional action, and a general lack of polish conspire to make Gangstar: Miami Vindication an underwhelming game.
