    • 80 Critic Score
    An awful lot of fun in small doses, Velocirapture is only let down by the fact it's a little bit too easy.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A commendable refresh of a classic from gaming's prehistory, Centipede: Origins expands on the core gameplay of the original to deliver a fun and addictive experience.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Yesterday is as dark as a summer's day and as funny as a kick in the teeth. The puzzles are poorly designed and the story barely even makes sense. Leave this one in the past.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    With splintered gameplay, a poor plot, little direction, and some so-so presentation, this is one for JSRPG super fans only.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A beautifully made attempt at an interactive narrative, The Act never quite manages to successfully blend its story and the player's inputs.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Too simple, a little rough around the edges, and lacking design nous, Split! never manages to make the most of the two genres it spans.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    As mad as a barrel of frogs, Disco Kitten is an entertaining little game, and while there's not much to it, you'll still keep coming back for more.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Near console-standard footy on a phone, from a team who go from strength to strength.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A polished twin-stick shooter with bags of cartoony charm that just needs a little more variety to keep you blasting in longer bursts.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Mad Acorn may not be the most polished or generously equipped rhythm-action game, but it's charming, original, and works perfectly in all the ways that really matter.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Heroes of Ruin is a landmark 3DS release, providing true online gaming that will keep you entertained from start to finish.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The things that some people will find clever and immersive about Uplink, others are going to find strange and confusing, but if you fit into the first camp it's a blast of historical futuristic fun.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Whilst it has a few good ideas, Tiny Troopers isn't interesting enough to hold your attention for very long.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Too simple for its own good, Duckers just isn't exciting enough to become as addictive as it wants to be.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Don't think AR gaming can be enjoyable? Let PulzAR prove you wrong with its brilliant table-top puzzling.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    It's cheap and easy to get into, but Table Top Tanks is just too shallow to really enjoy.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A finely-tuned port from Xbox to iPad, but Mutant Storm feels flat and unsatisfying in comparison to far better blasters on the App Store.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Pocket Plane is a perfect example of a freemium game done well, an addictive time sink that sucks you into its simple routines and refuses to let go.
    • 90 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A sublimely understated hidden object game that shows that, sometimes, subtle improvements to a strong foundation are all a sequel needs.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It certainly looks the part, but Catapult King's use of 3D makes it all too difficult to enjoy. Stick with those Angry Birds for your castle-toppling needs.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Very simple, not hugely original, but extremely compelling tower defence fare.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Interesting controls and sharp visuals belie one of the hardest platformers on iOS. Brutal.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A slick endless runner that borrows the best bits from its contemporaries but fails to inject any new life into its meticulously assembled corpse.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    No Red T-Shirts's repetitive gameplay and overbearing in-app purchases (not to mention its unsettling subject matter) mean this app deserves a hefty fine.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Fun and occasionally frantic, Zombie Ace has enough intriguing tricks up its undead sleeve to keep you entertained for a few hours.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A great mix of card game and tactical tower defence, Alexandria Bloodshow picks up where its predecessor left off, and builds an entertaining, surprisingly deep experience.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    There's a great game struggling to escape the apparent confines of the 3DS here, but weak visuals and terrible sound make it a purchase only for those that can't play it any other way.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It has a few nice ideas, but Expand it! is too happy to rest on its laurels rather than push on to greatness.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    With a pace and style all of its own, Bridge Constructor is a great example of a bit of realism improving a game.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Ambitious but poorly designed tracks and immense frustration ultimately condemn this Trials-alike.
