    Metrico is a beautiful, imaginative, and ingenious puzzle game with an original idea at its heart and some seriously sharp brainteasers.

    • 80 Critic Score
    A finely crafted RPG-lite of the simple life, set against the backdrop of an idyllic rural world.

    MLB 14 looks great and has a host of cool features, but strikes out when it comes to gameplay.

    A real European Champion. If only we could say the same about England.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A serious test of gaming skill wrapped in a very cute and technically accomplished package, fans of old skool arcade action platforming titles will find hours of masochistic entertainment here.

    • 80 Critic Score
    Not without issues and will demand perseverance, but F1 2009 rewards with a pick-up-and-play F1 experience that effortlessly overtakes the competition on PSP.

    • 60 Critic Score
    While pinball fans will continue to balk, Sonic Spinball is fun enough and quirky enough to remain fresh and relevant enough despite being relatively unchanged since it launched in 1993.

    • 60 Critic Score
    Fussy controls and a bizarre battle system render Across Age nothing more than an average anachronism.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Glory Days - Tactical Defense is a solid enough tower defence title for the DSiWare service, but doesn't provide much in terms of innovation or variation.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    With a host of new features and visual improvements, Galaga 30th Collection is an essential package for arcade fans, while the inclusion of Galaxian for free means that there is no excuse not to try it.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A classic example of pushing the hardware too far, Ionocraft Racing has an entertaining concept at its core but is let down badly by a stuttering frame-rate and a lack of rivals to race against.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    This conceptually solid music-based tunnel racer gets it all wrong in the execution, with disorientating track layouts and dull gameplay.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    While it might be a nice idea, Earn to Die is an oddly uninspiring experience that prizes slog over everything else.

    It's not going to set the world alight with its brilliance, but Dingle Dangle offers a couple of hours of soft, harmless fun.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Training up your sensei alongside your regular troops is an interesting mechanic that helps Sensei Wars stand out a little from the rest of the Clash of Clans clones.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    More neon-infused shooty goodness from one of iOS's most dependable developers, and with plenty of challenge for the jaded.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Shuffle Cats offers similar thrills to multiplayer hit Clash Royale, but punishes you financially for playing poorly - and that's not very nice.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Individual, engaging, and brief, Lume is a fitting introduction to what will hopefully become a much bigger experience.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Hardcore Harry Potter action that's almost too involved for its own good.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It's not perfect, but that's sort of the point. Goat Simulator is one-note and ridiculous, but it does it very well.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    It doesn't really add a great deal to the original mobile phone release but Orcs & Elves DS remains an extremely polished and playable adventure that is well worth splashing your Dwarven gold on.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Fantastic to look at and occasionally excellent to play, but too cumbersome and frustrating to do justice to the brand.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A game about walking around hitting things. If you like the sound of that then you should probably download it.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A cheap and cheerful destroy-em-up that makes up for in fun what it lacks in elegance.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A solid point-and-click adventure, Cognition: Episode 2 is a decent enough sequel, though it lacks the bite of the original.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A frantic battle to the death, and then to the death again, that does lose a bit of its shine in the grind.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Bioshock is a marvel of intelligent storytelling, creepy atmosphere, and stunning world design. You get all that in this iOS port, but not without compromise.
    • 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.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    You'd be forgiven for mistaking Picross e2 for the original, so similar do they look. Here's hoping for something new in the next instalment
    • 68 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Greedy Dwarf has solid arcadey presentation and mostly enjoyable gameplay, but it's far too short on variety and content.
