    • 60 Critic Score
    A nice idea, but let down by uninspired execution.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Too lightweight for fighting fans and too charmless for anime fans, it's hard to see this pleasing anybody.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Siegefall is an attractive and structurally sound strategy management game, but if you want to uncover its tactical complexity you'll really have to work for it
    • 93 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    A loud and brash touchscreen brawler with a surprising amount of depth and plenty to do.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A fine clicker, with a few new ideas, with a compulsive 'name that rock' element thrown in for good measure.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Divide By Sheep is cheeky, difficult, and an awful lot of fun.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    There's a lot here to like, and enough to love that you'll look past the occasional glitch and grumble.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A bright and silly jetpack sim, Piloteer is a bit of an acquired taste, but once you get there, it's a lot of fun.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A flawed but essentially engaging glimpse into the past, Dragon Quest VI has just enough charm to see you through.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    An interesting first person platformer, but one that doesn't solve the inherent problems with the form, making for a frustrating an vaguely nauseating experience.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Lego Batman: Beyond Gotham is another solid Batman game, but it's not much more than that.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Xeodrifter isn't very inventive or creative, and unlocking bits of the map feels like busywork.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The visuals might be a spike in the eyes, but this is a fun-packed one-thumb treat, with 150 varied challenges.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The first really good game from Amazon, Tales From Deep Space is an entertaining adventure.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    It misses a few beats, but SBK15 is an engaging bike racer all the same.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Should be a lesson to every company considering rethinking classic game ideas. We fear it probably won't be. In the meantime, just download it.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A few minor twists to the formula aren't quite enough to set this frustrating endless jumper apart.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Another perfectly adequate arcade hopper with nothing of substance to set it apart from its peers.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Fun, accessible and gloriously evocative of the 40k universe, but far too obviously a PC original.
    • 91 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Her Story is a bold experiment in interactive storytelling, resulting in one of the best detective games ever made.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    True dungeon crawling junkies may get a thrill out of the game, but if you’re not one of those people then this operation is best left to the professionals.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    And it's a real shame, because Swing Racers could have been an awful lot of fun. As it stands, you might want to check if it makes you want to hurl before you give it a go.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    You can do better.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    It's Puzzle Bobble. Go and play Puzzle Bobble instead.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Game of Dragons is a solid hidden object adventure that fans of the genre will adore.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    FireWhip takes time and dedication to learn, but once you grasp it this is a sharp, compulsive little arcade blast.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A run and gun twin-stick shooter with a little more to it than most. Xenowerk has its problems, but it's worth a look all the same.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A sedate and soothing puzzler, Lines the Game doesn't offer much of a challenge, but that's not really the point.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    There is nothing much wrong with Blades of Brim, but there's nothing much to grab you and yell "PLAY ME!" either.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Drift Girls isn't going to be for everyone, but then again it probably doesn't want to be. If you like cars and anime babes, and aren't above a bit of lechery, you should probably go get it.
