    • 40 Critic Score
    A decent range of great value, genuine arcade classics neutered by poorly implemented controls.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It doesn't reinvent the endless-runner genre, but it's a good, low-investment game perfect for those obsessed with chasing leaderboard scores.

    • 70 Critic Score
    This is Scrabble X Street Fighter X Facebook, and it plays as good as that sounds. It's still not mass appeal enough to turn the heads of people disinterested in word games, though.

    • 70 Critic Score
    NinJump Rooftops literally takes over where NinJump leaves off, and it's an equally fun, if familiar, experience.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A bright and bouncy arcade brawler that never feels tight or deep enough to warrant the repetition.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    For all of Overkill 2's obsession with weaponry, there isn't enough of an actual game in here to keep you interested.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A futuristic re-skin can't hide the flaws from appearing in one of this usually reliable series' weakest titles. Budding, but no full bloom.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The gaming equivalent of a brussel sprout – despite being a solid experience, Harvest Moon DS' weak presentation leaves something of a bitter taste.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    While there are occasional flashes of what might have been, Tin Man Can is too bland to recommend.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It might lack a little glitz and glamour, but Cubemen 2 is a satisfyingly deep tactical shooter all the same.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A playable multiplayer-only diversion for Gameloft's FPS series, but Modern Combat Versus lacks the friction-free charm of Guns of Boom.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Its title suggests big changes to the formula that just aren't here, but Dynasty Warriors NEXT will appease series veterans who just want to have a copy of their favourite franchise anywhere they go.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Scary and modern in all the right ways, Book of Shadows preserves the feel of its predecessor while improving on its aged gameplay and graphics.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Code of Princess looks and sounds brill, but the shallow nature of its hack 'n' slash action lets it down greatly.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Double Cross has enough clever ideas and level design to deliver a fun experience, despite some of its nagging problems.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Uncharted: Fight for Fortune is a fun little time-waster in between real Uncharted releases, but it's one that's riddled with issues.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    While it starts off brightly, Ring Run Circus quickly loses its sheen and descends into mediocrity.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A competent stunt racer that's a little too nondescript and derivative for its own good.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Miitopia has charm in spades, but its casual brand of JRPG might be a little too light and fluffy for some.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Pilot Academy offers moments of great enjoyment that are unavoidably affected by both the game and the PSP's shortcomings.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Still, the payment structure doesn't get in the way of the raw, petrol-stinking enjoyment too much. If you're a funny of pointlessly gritty cop-bashing Fast and Furious nonsense, then this is well worth checking out.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A fun action-adventure with good production values, Elemental Rage lacks the polish that defines a truly great game.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    MiniGame Paradise is a slick and varied mini-game collection with optional in-app purchases that's slightly guilty of sacrificing gameplay for profit.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Fittingly shallow and suitably silly, this auto-runner is one of the better examples of the genre, if still limited in its appeal.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Clever, inventive, and moving, this short but sweet puzzler is not soon forgotten.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Tough, relentless, and very clever, Raid Leader is more about brain power than brute force, but its meshing of RPG with RTS is one to savour.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Another crazed, retro blast from the mind of Jeff Minter, FiveADay is a little tricky to get to grips with, but once it clicks it's hilarious fun.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    A pretty atmosphere and reliance on nostalgia don't make up for the simple gameplay, low amount of content, and buggy nature of this release.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Diner Dash hits breakneck speeds and is sure to tempt in fans of the series once more, but there's little new to get excited about here.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A well put together anti-shooter, Atomic Fusion: Particle Collider is a rich and rewarding experience.
