    Goatup 2
    Don't be fooled by that '2' at the end of the title - Goatup 2 is a very different beast from its prequel, although its fusion of platforming action and gloriously bonkers retro-tinged presentation arguably makes for a more entertaining romp.

    Abalone
    A stripped back conversion of a strategically challenging if one-paced boardgame, Abalone isn't up there with the classics, but it is a worthy alternative.

    • 60 Critic Score
    Kingpin Lanes
    While there is a decent bowling experience here, it gets a little lost behind unnecessary frippery and slippery controls.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Fetch
    A sweet and endearing adventure, Fetch will wrap you up in its spell and leave you smiling.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    HarmoKnight
    If you're after a by-the-numbers rhythm-action experience, then HarmoKnight has you covered, but its lack of style and unwillingness to push any of its few ideas forward are a massive letdown.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Super Black Bass 3D
    Shallow, boring, ugly, and confusing to play, Super Black Bass 3D is a stinker.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Switch Galaxy
    It may be an update of an existing game, but Switch Galaxy is playable, good looking, and extremely challenging.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Smash the Office
    Smash the Office isn't a particularly deep game, and it comes with relatively few features, but what little it does it does well.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    The Ories: Super Space Monsters!
    A mediocre game is made infinitely worse by locking away content that's only accessible after umpteen repeats of the same content, or consuming loads of ads.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Alien Hive
    Alien Hive has the foundations of an excellent match-three puzzler, but it spoils the mood with restrictive gameplay systems and an over-reliance on IAPs.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    TRAUMA
    A deep, considered, and emotive game, Trauma won't be for everyone. Those who find it, however, will likely fall in love with it.
    • 40 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    The Croods
    First off, The Croods is extremely slow to get going. Secondly, though Rovio has added a little bit of thought here, it's not sufficient to elevate The Croods above the overcrowded freemium building masses.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    WRC Shakedown Edition
    A strange, entertaining, but brief arcade racer, WRC Shakedown will keep you entertained, just not for as long as you might expect.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time
    Sly's return to mainstream platforming action is a welcome one. It's a wise-cracking charm-offensive specifically designed to juxtapose the words 'madcap' and 'romp' in the same sentence.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Final Fantasy V
    Final Fantasy V might not represent the high point of the series, but Square Enix's sympathetic graphical overhaul and that ever-engrossing job system mean that it feels surprisingly fresh in 2013.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Heroes of Destiny
    A concise and enjoyable action RPG-lite with an irritating - but not deal-breaking - IAP system.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Carnage Heart EXA
    Offering up genuinely unique gameplay, Carnage Heart EXA does what it sets out to do well. But because of that the rest of the game suffers - meaning most battles are slow and somewhat uninteresting affairs.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Ms. Splosion Man
    A rich and vibrant platformer with one or two control and balance issues that prevent it from joining the list of the best console conversions on iOS.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    MAYDAY! Emergency Landing
    Dull and repetitive, MAYDAY! takes all the fun out of what should be an exciting scenario.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Fearless Wheels
    Fun and low-investment, Fearless Wheels is a great dirt bike racer to keep around for idle moments.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Magicka: Wizards of the Square Tablet
    A quick and entertaining arcade blast, Magicka isn't perfect, but it'll make you smile all the same.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Runaway: A Twist of Fate
    Runaway: A Twist of Fate is a typical Pendulo experience - shoddy puzzle design and cringeworthy comedy - wrapped up in a bloated, bug-ridden app.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Nimble Quest
    It doesn't have the same laid-back attitude as its stablemates, but Nimble Quest is all the more entertaining for that.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Match-Up! by Big Fish
    A generous package of casual online multiplayer games that, while not particularly distinguished in any single area, contains a generous spirit and a compelling risk-reward system.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Solitaire Blitz
    Solitaire Blitz is vintage PopCap, with peerlessly addictive gameplay and quietly impressive presentation. Unfortunately, the freemium payment model will be a barrier for many.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Cling!
    Cling! controls like a dream and looks wonderful, but the steep learning curve means that it's for dedicated players only.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Germinator
    Germinator is rather sketchy in its execution, but offers fairly solid Bust-a-Move gameplay.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Alien Breed
    Alien Breed is a bit of a dinosaur now, but its new coat of paint definitely helps to give it a new lease of life.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Master of Alchemy - Vengeance Front
    It won't be to everyone's liking, but Master of Alchemy Vengeance Front is an engaging, tough little puzzler all the same.
    • 51 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    MechWarrior: Tactical Command
    A half-decent RTS that only partially embraces the strengths of its source material and suffers from irritating performance and control issues.
