Borderlands 2 is an essential purchase. It's as simple as that.

A coin-pusher with a card-battling twist, Dragon Coins is an attractive grind, but grind nonetheless.

Don't let its visual similarity to Tetris fool you. This is a game that stands on its own very high merits.

If you've played a card-battler in the last year or so, you've seen everything Heroes of Camelot has to offer, aside from some spectacularly beautiful art.

A game that sparks occasionally but never manages to catch fire, Sky Force 2014 is a pretty average shooter in a world where that's not good enough.

A nice compendium of puzzle games, but lacking much of a connection to its TV heritage.

Perfectly pleasant, yet also pretty forgettable. The kind of game you'll very happily work through on a journey home but never think about again.
