    Although its control problems do much to limit its appeal, The Relic equally suffers from a clichéd plot, samey combat and uninspiring gameplay.

    Dungeon Hunter: Alliance is a lousy game. It's never particularly enjoyable, is technically clumsy, and looks like garbage. It may well be the worst game in the Vita's launch line-up.

    Were you expecting anything less from a movie-game cash-in? Turbo: Super Stunt Squad is a whole bag of meh, with racing action that is below-par in every way.

    A terrible game, but one that manages to say a lot without meaning to.

    If you want a decent game of Blackjack on your phone, I'd recommend getting any of the numerous other, much simpler games out there that provide that, and not this slow, poorly conceived, unfairly difficult fantasy take on the game.

    Extremely short if you can get the hang of the infuriating mini-games, The Cube is a cynically produced tie-in of a ropey-looking British TV show.

    Horrible controls scupper all hope of BattleNoidz being even slightly fun to play.
    • 48 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    A weak collection of badly implemented mini-games, you'd be better off paying out for a seaside Punch and Judy show than a session with Carnival Funfair Games.

    As boring and laborious as the real thing, Construction Simulator 2 may be accurate in some ways, but it's not worth playing.
    • 48 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Whether or not you believe WayForward is an indie saviour for the Nintendo 3DS, there's no denying that Regular Show is the studio's worst release.

    Deadly Premonition 2's is a game built exclusively for fans of the original, and even they will be put off by the endless bugs, horrible performance, and questionable design.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    A horribly clunky episodic third-person action game with woeful controls and impossibly lumpen gameplay.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    A dull, shockingly cynical waste of time, which is all about grinding for upgrades, and almost nothing about skill or strategy.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    A broken and buggy mess of a game, On The Lam: Fugitive Simulator should be avoided.
    • tbd Metascore

    Towers Runner was a game made not for humans, but for spreadsheets on the desktops of chancers and charlatans.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    This arcade racer manages to mess up the basics of racing game design, while looking and sounding poor at the same time.
    • 39 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    You may squeeze some entertainment out of The Settlers in the early stages but its bugs and inconsistencies will eventually break your spirit.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Bladeslinger's combat is a mess, the controls are clunky, the story is dull, and the whole thing is hobbled by monetisation. Avoid.

    Disney Bola Football looks like a decent, cartoony game of football. It’s definitely cartoony.
    • 49 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Ugly, unfair, unenjoyable: Asphalt Injection should be headed to the wrecker's yard, not your Vita's memory card.
    • 44 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Pint-sized Picassos may be enticed by Paint by DS but it would be a crying shame if they were to neglect real-world artistic endeavours in favour of this limp product.

    Pixar films are about attention to detail and fun - this game has neither of those things.
    • 51 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    A bland and boring shooter with no surprises or fresh ideas within, R.I.P. Rally is an ugly shambles.
    • 40 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Gorgeous graphics and a desperate desire to be like Monster Hunter don't compensate for simple gameplay and clunky controls.
    • 51 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Spy Hunter's poor handling and dire visuals make this one of the least impressive PS Vita titles to date. Even long-term Spy Hunter devotees will struggle to get behind this one.

    • 30 Critic Score
    Gun Zombie 2 adds little to the simplistic target shooting genre, except IAP after IAP after IAP.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Unresponsive, poorly designed, and frankly drab, ProjectSD1 should be left floating in space.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    A clunky, heavy-handed, almost mercifully brief mystery puzzle game that falls well short of its lofty narrative targets.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    You can do better.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    With controls that make shooting an ordeal, Al Rambone: Hussein in the Membrane is an ill-advised take on the war on terror that is terrifying itself.
