    Neither a fun trashy experience or a enjoyable casual game, Pillowfight Girls is a failure on many levels.

    • 70 Critic Score
    A slight fudge on its predecessor, PES 2011 is made up of largely the same squad, but never reaches the same heights.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    A consummate professional, PES 2010 proves just what we've been missing: a solid football sim with impressive AI, excellent controls, and a knack for the passing game.

    • 70 Critic Score
    This unique take on the racing genre owes a significant debt to Sega's Crazy Taxi and is a thoroughly enjoyable romp limited by the single map and noted repetition.

    • 80 Critic Score
    As expressive as its ninja's dashing eyebrows, Parachute Ninja is a great little game that builds on strong tactile physics gameplay with subtle level design.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Not without its quirks, many of which are part and parcel of a ten-year old game, but the abundance of style and busy streets make Driver a continued success.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    While arguably an acquired taste, the awe-inspiring animated action boasted by Dragon's Lair is sure to charm you.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Makes useful and inventive use of multi-touch, twisting tangram into exciting and challenging new shapes - recommended.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    An adorable prehistoric romp, Chop Chop Caveman has sharp, modern graphics and clunky, stone age controls.
    • 91 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Few games have managed to enhance their own reputation and addictiveness as admirably as Infinity Gene. It's the 1978 arcade classic happening all over again, now.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Doom Resurrection whets the appetite with hard-hitting action and pretty graphics, though is starved of any lasting value.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A snowboarding game like many others, made great by a judicious attention to detail and a permeating quality.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    True to its DS roots, Wire Way is a big game, which while offering hours of alien-flicking fun, also suffers somewhat from its scale.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    An interesting concept that sows plenty of ambitions, We Rule falls short of harvesting compelling gameplay.
    • 46 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Voice Fantasy is so shallow and lacking in gameplay, it's mystifying how it passes as a game.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Not without some slowdown issues on older models, Warheads nevertheless offers an explosive, enjoyable take on missile defence.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Charming in both concept and appearance, but its brand of button-mashing action is simultaneously simplistic and unwieldy.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Showcases excellent visuals and engaging gameplay, but is shot down by frustrating and inaccurate controls.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Alluring black and white graphics meet colourless action in this underwhelming historical hack 'n' slash adventure.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    With the right control setting, Vampire Origins is an exciting adventure that has the flavour of vampire folklore without getting bogged down in its mythos.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Twin Blades isn't revolutionary but its graphics and upgrading make it a decent side-scrolling action game.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Trucker's Delight Episode 1 makes the most of its naughty music video source material, but doesn't really add up as a racing game.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    TRON: Legacy fails to seize the potential of light cycle racing with bland game design and technical instability.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A clever strategy game that needs additional modes and factions to complement its accessibility with depth.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A nicely constructed, though often shallow tactical game that deserves attention for its quality portrayal of Transformers G1.
    • 90 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Trainyard is a quietly beguiling puzzler with an excellent tutorial and a generous supply of levels.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Offering five twists on its track-switching gameplay, Train Conductor 2: USA provides a quick and varied time management fix.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    This single-finger speedster certainly offers a refreshing way to drive, but the lack of variety means there's not enough fuel in the tank to ensure it goes the full race distance.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Horrible controls scupper all hope of BattleNoidz being even slightly fun to play.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The finger-friendly gameplay of Viking Tales: Mystery of Black Rock makes for a compelling action game, even if there's little reason to return once you've seen its waters.
