    • 65 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A solid twin-stick shooter with an interesting evolutionary twist, but the execution doesn't quite match up to the concept.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Safe Cracker is an enjoyable, if repetitive, reflex-based puzzle game that would benefit from a single asking price instead of offering pieces of itself through in-app purchases.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A well put together puzzler, but some may find its random elements a little too much to bear.
    • 49 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Ark of Sinners Advance stumbles towards greatness. It's not the easiest game to pick up, but it is a difficult game to put down.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Anamorph offers up an interesting challenge, but for a lot of gamers its control system will really suck the fun out of playing.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The Midnight Sanctuary is fantastically bizarre both visually and narratively, but it won't convert you to visual novels.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Rage of Bahamut, but with a Star Wars twist: if you're sworn off card battlers then there's nothing for you here, but Star Wars fans just might find their next unhealthy addiction.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Evil Factory is absolutely gorgeous, but even the best graphics can't forgive its virtual controls and poor writing.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Infected is more akin to a mild tummy bug than a potentially life-ending bout of Ebola. To be fair though, it's probably more entertaining than either.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Steel Diver provides exciting, tactical underwater action, but a steep difficulty curve and lack of content make it difficult to recommend.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Something of a disappointment considering our expectations, uncovering Contact's charms demands significant patience.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Killer pixel graphics and awesome music make you want to love The Blocks Cometh, but the crowded controls keep you from embracing it fully.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A nicely constructed puzzler all about slotting shapes together, but once you've clicked with the core concept it doesn't really go anywhere.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    I Am Bread is a ridiculous "slice" of mobile gaming, and while it doesn't really work, it's not really supposed to.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    RoboCop is an inoffensive target shooter very loosely based on the movie of the same name.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Sure, Game of War - Fire Age isn't a great game, but the people playing it are an entertaining bunch indeed.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Stifled by tricky controls, Heavy Gunner is visually striking but too repetitive to live up to its epic billing.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Outworded looks nice and the multiplayer is fun, but in the end it's just a word search game. And that could put a lot of people off.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Murl the Squirrel is a perfectly fine game, but we expect more from Ravenous nowadays.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A wonderful looking shooter, Seraphim is a little thin, but you'll enjoy what's here while it lasts.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    There's fun to be had spinning the reels, but King Cashing 2 doesn't do enough to stave off the inherent shallowness of its battles.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A solid but unremarkable brawler that runs out of super steam a little too quickly.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    All of the ingredients for some destructive fun might be in place, but Burnout Crash! can't quite mix them together into an appetising meal.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Queen's Crown boasts a polished presentation, but some of the lustre is removed by insignificant quests, error-strewn dialogue, and devious in-app purchases.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A decent enough wild west shooter, but there's not much here after the initial thrill.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Dawn of the Dragons has got the storytelling side of things well and truly sorted - it's just a shame that the action is so basic and the gameplay so reliant on the player pumping in real cash for in-game currency.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Kamiko aims for Zelda-lite but falls way too short of the mark due to dull design, simple puzzles, and levels which lack substance.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    While it's a fun mix of match-three puzzling and role-playing, Dungeon Raid fails to set the two elements in a solid structure and so never gains any long-term appeal.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A unique and interesting attempt at an interactive story, I am a brave knight is short but not quite sharp enough to see its bright concept through.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Solidly constructed and as compelling as ever, Jewel Quest on the DS suffers from the wealth of high-quality alternatives on the platform and a somewhat superfluous story.
