    Fun in small doses, Nutty Fluffies is a little too repetitive and shallow to offset the slightly cynical in-app purchase system at its core.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A great idea that brings two distinct genres together in a clever fashion. Sadly, though, Crossword Dungeon just doesn't know what to do with them after that.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Tough, entertaining, and slightly mad, Hairy Tales is a decent puzzler that definitely deserves some attention.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A co-operative puzzle title which plays as well as it looks, About Love, Hate and the other ones may have questionable longevity, but it's a trip that's well worth experiencing regardless.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Borderlands Legends is a complete waste of a stellar IP, offering clunky action-strategy fare and paying mere lip service to the series's core strengths.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A beautiful adventure-puzzler that doesn't need combat or flashy gimmicks to enhance its slow-burn appeal.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Assassins Creed III Liberation isn't quite the poster child for Sony's neglected format that many were hoping for, but Vita owners should probably be grateful they get a dedicated adventure of their own. There's no telling whether the same will hold true this time next year.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    While the lack of multiplayer is a huge shame, there's more than enough single player and social content in Need for Speed: Most Wanted to make it a must-buy.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Equal parts a stomp down memory lane, a cheeky wink to the past, and a hardcore action-platformer, He Man: The Most Power Game in the Universe is a game that's worth wasting your time on.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    An extremely impressive handheld version of a console hit, but one not without some serious compromises. Still, it's one of the best racers of the year and it's in your pocket. Can't complain.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Initial impressions of Smart As are good, but the game rapidly shows itself to be a brain training title lacking any in-depth planning.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A muted, elegant, quietly accomplished platformer that's refreshingly different from most other examples of the genre on iOS.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    In spite of its bright colours and broad jokes, Adventure Time: Super Jumping Finn isn't interesting enough to hold your attention for very long.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Polished and preened as you'd expect from Gameloft, Zombiewood is an entertaining but ultimately forgettable ride.
    • 27 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Cheesy, linear and super short, and featuring shooting mechanics that feel older than the Old West. You don't need any amount of Mad Dog McCree in your life.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Ultimately pointless if you don't own Pokemon Black and White 2, Pokemon Dream Radar is, however, an absolute must-buy for Pokefans.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Too short and a little unrefined, Reversion - The Escape has a lot of promise, but it doesn't manage to fulfill much of it.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    If you liked the last Jewel Master game and want more, then you'll find Cradle of Egypt 2 a solid purchase.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    A shameless clone, bursting at the seams with sneaky money-making schemes. Your progress is halted if you don't pay, and there's no telling how much it would cost to complete it.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    A word game that's as addictive as it is entertaining, Letterpress is a brilliant addition to anyone's app collection.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Fun for a few days, this freemium title won't dent your wallet, but it won't steal your heart either. After the improvements made following a shaky start, there's hope that this will evolve into something more elaborate, but right now its play is all too shallow.
    • 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.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Though it's extremely short, Don't Look Back sports an effective mix of rich atmosphere and pinpoint platforming - and it's free to boot.
    • 93 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Punch Quest is funny, addictive, and just plain fun. Turns out that the auto-runner and beat-'em-up genres were a match made in heaven.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Funny and challenging, Stunt Star: The Hollywood Years will prove a worthy download for fans of the physics-based genre, but the intense difficulty of the later levels limits its appeal.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Real Football 2013 continues its losing streak with an ill-suited freemium model and some sloppy football action.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    An excellent rhythm game that features responsive controls, plenty of challenge, and a cute storyline. Symphonica doesn't hit a single sour note.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    At best, it's a bland, repetitive Silent Hill-skinned dungeon-crawling grind. At worst, it's a vacuous vandalism of a treasured horror brand.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    An entertaining, if familiar, endless-swimmer that's kept afloat by its gorgeous visuals and ample personality.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    If you don't own a portable device for playing Angry Birds, then this is a bumper package you'll want to invest in. Angry Birds aficionados need not apply though.
