    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    An unusual, beautiful, and surprisingly sedate puzzler that's as fresh as an English garden.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A port that's both bold and reverential, Dragon Quest VIII might not be the perfect fit for mobile devices, but it's not too far off.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    There's fun to be had with its sharp-edged bike blasting, but SXPD is a little on the small side.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Axl & Tuna isn't a particularly innovative endless-running game, but what it lacks in originality it makes up for with good times.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A port that exposes too many of the fragilities of the original, Drawn to Life is spread a little too thin to recommend.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Demons vs Fairyland's visuals may be on the weak side, but it more than makes up for them in difficulty and nuance.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Swoc: of Swords and Blocks has a few bumps and dings, but the overall product is a solid match-three battle game.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A crude 1-vs-1 hack 'n' slasher that's critically lacking in combat fluidity and smarts.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A big idea that flounders at almost every turn, Fate of Nations is too frustrating and slow paced to be really entertaining.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Smoothly accessible and highly engaging strategy gaming, but lacks some key features.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A worthy film tie-in, but it lacks the vibrancy and action demanded by a team with this sort of rich comic book heritage.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Though Gunship X's shooting action isn't deep or varied, it's intense for as long as it lasts.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A vaguely interesting game wrapped in an ugly shell, Eliza's Quest offers a little, but not enough to really recommend.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Star Wars Pinball: Heroes Within is Zen's most refined pinball game to date. If you're into pinball, then this is a game that you simply must buy now.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Innovative and imaginative use of the iPhone here, and an interesting social experiment and experience. Bounden's unforgiving nature too often erodes fun and leads to frustration rather than beauty and elegance, though.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Doug dug. is the game Dig Dug was always meant to be. And after just three short decades, it's great to finally be able to appreciate a game that - until now - has been wrongly called a classic.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A challenging and surprisingly fresh physics-puzzler that walks the fine line between frustration and freshness.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    The subject of 'efficiency' has the potential for a great game, but I Dig It: Journey to the Core is not that game.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Frederic - Evil Strikes Back offers more of the rhythm-based action up for grabs in Frederic: Resurrection of Music, but if you loved the first game, that's exactly what you want.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Wonderfully excessive, but not quite as clever as it thinks it is.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    More clumsily unrefined gunplay from the Overkill series, but this time with a slightly classier 1930s comic book setting.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Proof that Nintendo can handle free-to-play and make it fun, you'll enjoy haggling with Rusty almost as much as you'll enjoy the wealth of mini-games Rusty's has to offer.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A colourful freemium tower offence game that lacks the tactical scope and imagination to capitalise on its toy box premise.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A generous free-to-play game that's packed with fast, hard-hitting action, but slightly cumbersome controls.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Plodding, repetitive, and uninspired, Farentia showcases all the worst elements of RPG strategy titles.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Ambitious from start to finish, MLB Perfect Inning goes in too many different directions and feels unfocused, rushed, and overwhelming to the non-hardcore.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Part-Angry Birds, part-tower defence, part-action game, all ace: CastleStorm - Free to Siege is a curious mix of surprisingly complementary genres.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Fun, simple, and possibly a little bit throwaway, however, CiRCA6's basic charms mean it's always good for a quick blast.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A well put together match-three puzzler with a solid RPG built around it, Darkin is well worth some time and effort.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    'In Harm's Way' is something of a come down after the magnificent 'A House Divided', but if you've followed the story thus far you're almost certainly going to play it anyway and your disappointment will be mild at worst.
