    What could have been the iPhone's best looking beat-'em-up turns out to be an empty firework show with little for you to actually do.

    Well it might not be the most complex game in the world, Mmm Fingers has enough going for it to keep you entertained for a while.
    • 75 Metascore

    A brainier episode than Metamorphosis, Ones & Zeroes might not be thrilling, but it asks some interesting questions all the same.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    An intriguing look back at what the JRPG used to be, Dragon Quest II has enough going for it to make it a little more than a curio.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A snow bound adventure that keeps you enthralled from first to last, Caverns of the Snow Witch is well worth a look.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A pretty and original but bafflingly constructed oddball platformer with a control system that never feels quite right.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    If you've always wanted to pit iOS-owning friends against Android evangelists, you may find some mileage in Captain Strike, though there's little that'll make you stick around.

    • 80 Critic Score
    Celebrating life, in all its fleeting chaos, has rarely been as fun as this. Play, enjoy, and stick two fingers up at mortality.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Shantae and the Pirate's Curse is packed full of good times guaranteed to please fans of platforming games.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A fairly satisfying and good-looking slice-em-up that could do with a bit more polish and difficulty balancing.
    • 60 Metascore

    There is some entertainment to be had with this year's NHL 2K, but it has more than its fair share of problems.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A neat pushing together of ideas that pretty much comes off. Puzzle to the Center of the Earth definitely has its moments.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Monster Strike squeezes a bunch of puck-launching into a fairly familiar free-to-play model, but it isn't that much fun.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    By diluting its traditionally strong ball-flicking action with underwhelming card collecting and free to play elements, PikPok's attempt has bounced off the rim.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    A pitch perfect, pick up and play blend of strategy and accessibility, history and thrills.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A neat mix of ideas wrapped in a package that makes you want to play, Swap Heroes is well worth a look.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Jet Car Stunts feels right at home on Vita. The new Collector mode gives veterans something to sink their teeth into, but newcomers may be put off by the game's difficulty.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Maria the Witch tries to offer relentless challenge in the same vein as Retry, but neglects to incorporate the stuff that Retry work well.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Great looking and supremely smooth, but its core gameplay is overshadowed by its own style. As endearing as the game is in many ways, it's just not a massively entertaining concept.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    While the DNA of Tiny Realms is taken from other games in the genre, the additions here make for a highly evolved strategy management that may well convince veterans to stray from their current games of choice.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Unforgiving, relentless, soul-crushing, precise, gorgeous, addictive, fantastic - RETRY is all these things, go get it.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Just as satisfyingly dumb as it's always been, Samurai Warriors 4 brings a good dosage of new stuff to a slightly tired formula.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Gauntlet's Revenge makes a valiant effort to bring the Tilt to Live controls to a new genre, but they're just too imprecise to really work.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    A jumble of ideas that don't work very well together or apart, this is one to avoid.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Free to play veterans will put up with the shenanigans Angry Birds Transformers tries to pull in the name of a quality shooter, but those just looking for a quick burst of fun may find the wait timers and slow progress distasteful.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 20 Critic Score
    In its current form, it saddens me to say that there is nothing to recommend about Red Riding Hood and the Restless Wolves, apart from some nice music.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A huge and hefty basketball experience, NBA 2K15 has its problems, but it's still worth a look.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    A poorly put together dungeon crawler with little personality and bad controls.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    What promises to be a fun little arcade racer disappoints by falling back on too many generic endless runner tropes.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A workmanlike conversion of a workmanlike card game, but a treat for superhero strategists.
