    The longevity of Bunny the Zombie Slayer may be short-lived, but the gameplay and graphics are fantastic, and the action is instantly appealing.

    • 50 Critic Score
    With an over-reliance on what ultimately proves to be a gimmick, Piclings platform play is all looks and no substance.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Stunning to look at and play, but viciously tough to beat, Pulse: Volume One's relative lack of content and replay incentive is the only dissonance in an otherwise perfect cadence.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It's lost some edge and coherence in transit, but Snuggle Truck's lighter tone is arguably a better fit for its blend of knockabout physics-based fun.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    With strong visuals and a tight touch, Vampire Rush is a successful marriage of the tower defence and hack and slash genres.

    • 50 Critic Score
    An interest concept, Prose With Bros's attempt to serve up smutty sentences is nullified by a lack of structure and a setup that's full of bugs and boobs.

    • 80 Critic Score
    A massive, beautifully collected, exceptional value for money anthology of the Final Fantasy IV universe, yet one that will do nothing to convert non-FF fans.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Though limited by its mystifying lack of multiplayer and the shelf life of its pop references, You Don't Know Jack is a fun quiz game.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Par Out Golf's line-drawing gameplay is unlikely to appeal to the members of St Andrews or Augusta, but it's still a testing alternative golf game that will frustrate and entertain in equal measure.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Stupidness 2 PRO does not push the iPhone hardware to its limit nor will it last an eternity, but it is a challenging series of word puzzles with an unfortunately short lifespan.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The harsh AI difficulty will diminish its appeal, but 7th Guest: Infection remains a well-presented and interesting boardgame.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Sloppy and slack, Soccer Superstars 2011 Pro shows much promise, but – like its predecessor – puts far too much focus on special moves and has spent far too little time tightening up the matches themselves.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Gameloft's mobile imitation of World of Warcraft is an impressive technical and artistic feat, but there's still a bit more work to do before it reaches its full potential.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Age of Tribes follows the Lemmings formula, but fails to lead it into a new generation with poor controls, frustrating elements, and buggy execution.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Blindingly fast and impressively accessible, this otherwise sterling example of digital snowboarding is let down by a lack of consequence for playing badly.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Too short, too easy and suffering from technical stutters, A.C.E. Air Combat Elite crashes and burns before it can enter the fray.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    3bot presents a neat new puzzler concept and a slick 3D engine, but the gameplay at its core falls flat.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    I Dig It Expeditions offers a bit of exploration, a touch of puzzle play, and more than its fair share of fun.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The Warlock of Firetop Mountain feels dated, but anyone who experienced the Fighting Fantasy books as a kid should enjoy reliving the past.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Putting a new spin on a combination of Pachinko and Peggle, Full Fat's Coin Drop is a bright, breezy, and enjoyable arcade game mixing elements of luck and skill.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Third Blade looks the part but the pretty visuals are merely a façade to cover up some painfully uninspiring gameplay and an in-app purchase system which practically forces you to dig deep in your pockets to advance.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Steel Diver provides exciting, tactical underwater action, but a steep difficulty curve and lack of content make it difficult to recommend.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Lacking in originality or craft, Castle Defense HD feels like a cheap cash-in of Plants vs Zombies, only without the cheap price tag.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Virtual Villager 4: The Tree of Life is indistinguishable from the rest of the series, though hardcore fans may well appreciate the consistency of continued life on Isola island.

    • 50 Critic Score
    Wizards War lacks the polish, quality gameplay, and feature set to be anything more than a lightweight strategy game.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    GemCraft is an unusual tower defence game with a wealth of content and some clever twists to the usual formula.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Chop Chop Rocket's competent presentation and gameplay mechanics are not fleshed out with enough content for it to be considered an essential purchase.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Coconut Dodge possesses entertaining gameplay great for filling spare moments, even if it's not wildly original or innovative in terms of mechanics.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Fast and frenetic role-playing that fixes some of its predecessor's largest flaws, despite the continued reliance on rote fetch quests and cheesy writing.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A wonderfully formed block-breaker, Mad Blocker Alpha should be a constant presence on your PSP if you have even the slightest interest in puzzlers.
