    Yes, it's bloody weird, and yes, you're getting a little less bang for your buck, but honestly, stripping back the original game so much has made for a much better experience. Now get out there and dance.

    Trolls vs Vikings features great visuals and it has heart, but its familiarity and panhandling for in-app purchases may cause you to balk.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The Last Ranger is more of the same, with none of the original's main flaws really attended to at all.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    While it is a bit less bonkers than its name suggests, Carnage Racing has a solid and entertaining core.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A solid but entirely unremarkable puzzle game that does little to differentiate itself from the crowd.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A clever locked-box puzzler that will entertain throughout its brief running time, though the signposting and art direction aren't always as strong as they need to be for such a precise genre.

    • 60 Critic Score
    Cosmic Bump is a decent casual puzzler with a fun pinball element, but its physics and reliance on luck don't quite do the rest of the game justice.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A shocking lack of features sends Ace Combat Xi: Skies of Incursion plummeting well below expectations, gliding by on impressive graphics and polished controls.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    While its core gameplay is inspired by the likes of Angry Birds, a fun art style and nonsensical storyline help to differentiate Cow Trouble from its iPhone peers.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Absorbing to look at and play, Liqua Pop bursts what fun there is by turning the pressure too high.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Eliminate: Gun Range is too repetitive to be a classic, but it's a solid and playable demonstration of what the iPhone 4 can do.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Addictive, fun puzzling that's right at home on DS. Sadly, lack of originality lets it down.
    • 76 Metascore

    Brown and benign, ATV Pro may have a lot of deep mud but its fails to grip over the long term.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    As a throw-back to the RPGs of old it hits most of the right buttons, but most modern gamers will likely leave the world of Avadon long before it hits its stride.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Not the best Star Wars game in the canon – weak mission design and targeting issues hold it back – but it's still a fun distraction for series aficionados and PSP action adventure fans alike.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    This strategy sequel builds on the essentially solid foundations of its predecessor and is good value, but it only rarely offers any serious challenge or engaging thrills.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Criminal Girls: Invite Only's reliance on shock value puts the weakest part of the game in the limelight, obscuring the otherwise interesting battle mechanics.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    There's little inherently wrong with Clumsy Bob and its sideways take on Doodle Jump but for the fact we've seen so many similar games before.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    HeliHopper is a bright, solid casual game that provides an interesting twist on the Angry Birds ping mechanic, but it feels a little too sparse and repetitive.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It's a neat concept and fun in co-op, but Space Cycler's lengthy levels and uncomfortable controls make it tough to recommend.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    All the idiocy without the pain, Jackass: The Game delivers exactly what it promises: a relatively entertaining assortment of mini-games inspired by the show that only a fan could love.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A reasonably sharp turn-based battler with a sense of humour, Braveland Wizard doesn't have enough new ideas to make it a must-buy.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Its parts might not quite work together, but Death Golf is still a mostly entertaining little arcade game.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Despite high production values, Prince of Persia: The Fallen King's awkward stylus controls means this is one Arabian night worth sleeping through.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Flower, Sun and Rain is an incredibly ambitious release for the DS. Most will find it overly frustrating and just a bit too weird. Some will love it, though.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Like an elderly man with arthritis, Rayman's platforming adventure is afflicted with stiff controls that prevent enjoyable play.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Sakura Slash is a slice of fun but throwaway screen-swiping nonsense.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Whilst it's not a bad game, Zombie Wonderland 2: Outta Time! fails to learn from the mistakes of its prequel, and that condemns it to the same near-mediocrity.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Tekken 3D nails its formula but doesn't provide much room to show off and flex it. As far as arcade fighters go, there are better, more substantial alternatives now with much cheaper price tags.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Persona 5: The Phantom X offers an intriguing narrative and exciting combat. Unfortunately, the number of cutscenes severely outweighs the battles, marring what could have been an epic RPG.
