    A swing and a miss from creator Dong Nguyen. Swing Copters is too demanding for a big audience, and too simple for a niche one.

    There are some nice ideas here, but for the most part NBA 2K Mobile Basketball tries to be for everyone and ends up being for no one.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A mostly predictable film licence that has its moments but will inevitably be remembered (or not) for its dreary, repetitive structure, shoddy presentation and palpable lack of ambition.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A bad case of identity crisis, Men in Black 3's lack of focus leads to an underwhelming experience on both the action and simulation fronts.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    No Red T-Shirts's repetitive gameplay and overbearing in-app purchases (not to mention its unsettling subject matter) mean this app deserves a hefty fine.

    A basic freemium builder with a cartoon skin. A pricey game to get into, SpongeBob Moves In definitely sounds the part, but it doesn't quite look it.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A visually strong and initially engaging cover-based shooter. Give it a few days of play for its payment model to kick in and you'll quickly find yourself looking to delete it from your mobile. Its play isn't that engaging, and there's little else here to keep you coming back. Shame.

    A run-of-the-mill endless-runner with a flimsy Avengers skin layered on top, whatever Marvel Run Jump Smash’s super power is, it’s not ambition.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Speed kills - in this instance it's due to a lack of it, combined with rubbish controls, long loads, and grind-heavy gameplay.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    By parts jolly, vibrant, and intensely frustrating, Rayman Raving Rabbids GBA lacks attention to detail, thwarting some neat ideas.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Although it's bursting with artistic detail, Mecha Showdown substitutes robot-on-alien combat for a superficial and ultra-basic slot machine simulator.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Super Smash Bros in all but name, this basic fighter just doesn't do enough with its fighting engine or character-rich licence.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Robots Attack! starts with a robot-stomping bang and looks sublime, but soon tails off badly into a repetitive trudge.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    TRON: Legacy fails to seize the potential of light cycle racing with bland game design and technical instability.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    She's got a cute smile and there are some nice touches, but Izuna: Legend of the Unemployed Ninja doesn't help the inexperienced, and doesn't reward the skilled. Don't hire this dungeon-crawler.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A nicely presented side-scrolling shooter that's undermined by flawed core mechanics and slow-paced, excitement-free action.
    • 43 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Myst is a brilliant adventure game but without the oomph to show off its gorgeous visuals and sound, this DS version is most disappointing.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Enjoyable in short bursts, Ninja Warrior Game struggles to clear the first obstacle and likely won't advance to later rounds.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    While the original remains a classic, Samurai Shodown II for iOS is too glitchy and broken to really recommend.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A game that, at first, holds promise, but forever lives in the shadow of genre-stablemates that do it far, far better.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Cool music and authentic retro visuals can't make up for Radiant Flux's ropey controls and often unfair difficulty level.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A flawed but occasionally entertaining mash-up, Puzzle Pirates never quite manages to connect its disparate, uninspired parts.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    101 DinoPets 3D is a straightforward but entertaining game for under-10s.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Well presented but massively derivative and riddled with bugs, Zenforms is a commendable accomplishment for just one developer, but suffers from too many issues to be a worthwhile investment
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    If you're hankering for a new kind-of on rails shooter, then you might get a teensy bit of a kick out of it. But I'd strongly recommend just going back to the original instead.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    State of Mind has a certain charm to it, but it's mired in a confusing story, simple puzzles, poor controls, and plenty of other issues.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A frustrating experience with the occasional glimmer of hope, Vengeance: Woz With a Coz isn't worth your time right now.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A dull mash-up of licences that never fires into life, Lego Star Wars: Microfighters just doesn't have enough fight in it.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A frantic and relentless hunt-and-peck game that erratically alternates between delirious brainless fun and IAP clogged drudgery. The more you play, the more overt its negative qualities become.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Well made but ultra-repetitive, PIX3D is clearly the work of a very talented team, but runs out of ideas within five minutes of play.
