    Robot Unicorn Attack didn't need a sequel, and it definitely didn't need grindy objectives, unlockable horns, and 69p songs. This sequel really chokes the life out of a chuckle-worthy joke.

    There's a decent tactics game here, but the interface is too clumsy and the idea too familiar to appeal beyond hardcore fans.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A solidly produced K-RPG that delivers an entertaining, if ultimately over-familiar, action-heavy adventure.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Woody Woodpecker combines the gameplay of Tiny Wings and Mario Kart to fairly good effect, but perfunctory execution clips its feathers.

    • 60 Critic Score
    It's all been done before, and even with a handful of new ideas, Asphalt Street Storm Racing doesn't do it much better.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    An attempt to address the deficiencies of the first iPhone game, SimCity Deluxe is likewise hampered by controls that simply don't befit the device.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Attractive presentation can't make up for a lack of substance - just like a real circus!
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Striking to behold and pleasant to control, World of Aircraft just needs a few tweaks - and some more player support - to make it soar a little higher.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A beautiful and tactile toy as much as anything else, Shu's Garden promises much for this developer's second - or should that be first - game.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A fresh, fast-paced twist on the classic Tetris formula that'd be easier to recommend if it wasn't for its expensive IAP-centric design.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    True dungeon crawling junkies may get a thrill out of the game, but if you’re not one of those people then this operation is best left to the professionals.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A lightweight but enjoyable mixture, it's not ground breaking, but it's quite a lot of fun.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Wan Nyan Slash is an inoffensive flick brawler that's just short of charming.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Spinner Cay is certainly the weakest instalment in the Tales series, but still holds its own with a good few hours of top jokes and puzzles. Horrible performance issues rear their ugly head too often for a strong recommendation.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A decent enough experience for younger players, the nine mini-games of EA Playground provide plenty of addictive – if not hugely challenging – fun.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A bright and intriguing facade can't hide the fact you've played all of this before.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A perfectly competent tower defence game with little to distinguish itself from the genre heavyweights.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Germinator is rather sketchy in its execution, but offers fairly solid Bust-a-Move gameplay.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Tales of the Rays is an enjoyable mini JRPG that's unfortunately bogged down with typical freemium trappings. This one's for the diehards only.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Despite its polished presentation and solid execution, Kung Fu Panda 2: Be The Master borrows too liberally from Fruit Ninja and Doodle Jump, adding nothing original to their gameplay.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Go Vacation is just like a real holiday - if you go off and do your own thing rather than following the signposts, it's surprisingly enjoyable.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Rather than deliver a tantalising treat, peeling away the skin of DK: Jungle Climber reveals bland play mechanics that can't be saved by the game's creative control system.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The Bearded Hero is a decent enough puzzle game, but it doesn’t really wow.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Titans is a well-made game, but it still feels a lot like previous card battlers.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A generously expanded platformer that nevertheless feels a little lightweight and insubstantial the second time around.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Shephy has a lot of promise, but ultimately lets itself down by unbalanced decks and somewhat messy rules.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Full of rough edges and built on a poor facsimile swing system, Real Golf 2011 comes a distant second in most of the areas that matter despite its online multiplayer.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    SpeedX 3D Hyper Edition is a great concept, and it plays remarkably well. But you'll have seen everything it has to offer within 15 minutes of play.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    One of the oddest games you'll ever come across, Hamlet replicates the adventure gaming formula of yesteryear with obtuse puzzles that makes for a annoyingly difficult gameplay.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Magic Orbz is a cheerily presented Breakout clone that adds physics-based destruction and some fun power-ups to the mix. But, it's still a Breakout clone.
