    • 70 Critic Score
    A worthy sequel to a much-loved original, but one that suffers from structural changes introduced to accommodate IAP.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Another endless-runner that does everything perfectly well, Amazing Runner doesn't quite live up to its title, but it's entertaining all the same.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Ignore the fact that this is attached to a licence, and look past the few faults it currently has, and you'll find that DuckTales: Scrooge's Loot is an excellent team-based multiplayer shooter, with solid controls and great visuals.

    Happy Hills 2: Bombs Away! is slower-paced and more frustrating than many other physics puzzlers, but its addictive qualities can’t be denied.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    This sequel may go beyond the portals, but does little to go beyond its predecessor. A decent game, even if it's only marginally better than the first.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    An acute mix of intense twin-stick shooter action and dazzling visuals hampered by awkward controls.

    • 70 Critic Score
    Alphabeats has an interesting rhythm, and it's fun while it lasts, but it can't quite catapult itself to the upper echelons of App Store gaming.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Little Inferno is a smart and subversive work of art that pokes fun at freemium games. But its dedication to the joke often hurts the fun little physics toy at the core.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A surprisingly expansive platformer that combines Game Boy visuals with open level design to decent effect.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    While arguably an acquired taste, the awe-inspiring animated action boasted by Dragon's Lair is sure to charm you.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Excellent for younger gamers, Bionicle Heroes is a well-designed and enjoyable shooter, although more experienced players might consider it lacking in challenges.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Secret Files Tunguska is an enjoyable adventure with some good puzzles and lots of locations. It's just not imaginative or exciting enough for a full recommendation.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Ignore the dull plot and iffy visuals, and you'll find a straightforward RPG that revels in its simple but satisfying battle mechanics.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Plenty of content and an intriguing take on online play just about make up for Amp, Watts & Circuit's occasionally sloppy AI.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Race Team Manager is a surprisingly cool 'hands-off but still partially on' racing management sim, even despite its moments of frustration.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    For more seasoned gamers, Disney Magical World might be a pleasant surprise. For kids, it could feel genuinely magical.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A blurry, vaguely insane twitchy dodger, Polyganic has an interesting enough central idea to keep you playing through bouts of frustration.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Pudding Monsters is cute, creative, and eminently playable. But it's a bit too familiar, and a bit too easy, to be a truly essential puzzler.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A fun and diverting little tower defence game, Go Home Dinosaurs doesn't offer enough to be a classic, but it's worth a punt all the same.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Occasionally confusing instructions and repetitive nature aside, Aurifi is a fascinating experiment with sound which proves that you don't need high-res visuals to make a compelling interactive experience.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A tight and attractive single-thumb racer that prompts you to perfect your lap times, but suffers from somewhat uneven track design.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It's hard to type and hard to play, but Avoid. rewards perseverance in the best way.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Less a breath of fresh air, more a blast of air conditioning, Temple Run 2 adds little to the endless-runner genre, though it is fun. It's just not the shot in the arm some of us were hoping for.
    • 43 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It's a darts game. On the PSP. And yet somehow it's actually a lot of fun.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    If you're willing to put the work in, there's a great puzzling strategy game to uncover here.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    There are a few too many technical glitches here at the moment, but the gameplay waiting for you beyond them is chaotic and brilliant.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The definitive handheld version, Transformers DS boasts decent gameplay, good presentation and clever online features that go beyond traditional movie-licensed fare.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A clever puzzle-platformer with a decent hook, Inoqoni will keep you entertained for a decent while.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia is the Pokémon series at its most professional and polished, but non-fans will find it as linear and repetitive as ever.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A little too easy and restricted in terms of solutions, Empire Builders: Ancient Egypt is a perfectly playable economic strategy game, but lacks the character of the Build-a-Lot series.
