Games (10000 programs)

Pros: Beautiful visual style, almost photographic in quality. Interact with recognisable historical figures. Puzzle-solving keeps you invested in playing on. Simple gameplay makes it accessible to young and old.

Cons: Overall game is a little short. Price may be deemed too high for amount of playing time. Slightly disappointing not to play as Houdini in a game based on him. Some may find puzzles too easy as plenty of hints are given.

Pros: Fun voiceover performance. Challenging accuracy score. Attractive level backgrounds. Varied target types.

Cons: Crowded screens can lower frame rate. Only seven levels. Missions have similar gameplay. Limited replay value.

Pros: Questions span entire history of the US. Hint function provides help when needed. Carefully researched questions. Three different difficulty levels.

Cons: Number of questions is relatively small. Free version does not include 'Hard' tier. Input method may not appeal to some. No competitive head-to-head options.

Pros: Simple but effective puzzles. Large difficulty variety. Interesting progression system. Easy to pick up and play.

Cons: Smaller puzzles. Small puzzle packs. Point gating is sometimes heavy. 32- and 64-bit version differences.

Pros: Excellent detailed 3-D graphics. Both career mode and multiplayer available. Plenty of holes and different landscapes; seven unique courses to play on. Full customisation for characters, from physical appearance to wardrobe.

Cons: Experienced golfers may find the lack of realism annoying. Purchases required for custom clubs, tournaments and other additions. Those who are serious about the sport/genre have better options. Too challenging for some players, especially when putting.

Pros: Easy to play. Fairly balanced puzzles. Diverse character cast. Compatible with many devices.

Cons: Fixed and sometimes poor perspective. Colours bleed together in some scenes. Poor hint functionality. Nearly requires first episode.

Pros: Free and reminiscent of the old Snake game. In-game objects allow you to escape the predator. The game explains what the pellets do. Not a never-ending game as the enemy is destructible.

Cons: Getting it to load on multi-core devices is tricky. Need the invulnerability pellet to win. No incentive to grow your snake. The enemy is seemingly invulnerable.

Pros: Contains three games in one.. Helps kids to learn about animals.. Good-quality photographs.. Plenty of animal jigsaw puzzles..

Cons: Too simple for older children.. Graphics inconsistent between games.. Parents may find animal noises annoying.. The maze game is of limited educational value..

Pros: Thrilling. Multiple gaming modes. More than 225 unique images. New differences in the same photos.

Cons: No option to turn the clock off. Could add more pressure to your already hectic day. No written instructions. A bit too difficult at times.

Pros: A blindingly simple game. Choose different vehicles to play. Shoot and destroy objects in your way. Starts out very easy.

Cons: The graphics are of a very poor quality. It is a never-ending game with no end goal. Controls are too keen/fast. The in-game text has spelling and grammar mistakes.

Pros: A total of 30 teams to choose from and play with. League-wide draft adds to realism and excitement. Full editing options for teams and player names. Choose your own approach - hands-on or pick up and play casually.

Cons: In-app purchase required to unlock all features. Overly simplistic visuals and gameplay. Lower player base and selection options than competitors. Very casual; not a serious gaming choice.

Pros: Easy to get to grips with. Realistic ball physics. Single and multi-player game modes. Low system requirements.

Cons: Limited number of holes on free version. Graphics are very basic. No tournament mode in free version. Lack of depth for more serious players.

Cons: Only five levels. No high score. Very simplistic. No jumping.

Pros: Atmospheric art. Good replay value. Clear, readable display. Evocative, well-produced soundtrack.

Cons: No online multiplayer. Dying early can mean long waits. Random outcomes play a big role in gameplay. High difficulty level.

Pros: Customise your own scenarios. Contest election as Republican, Democrat, Libertarian, Green or Independent. Uses genuine historical and demographic data to produce authentic results. Vast array of possibilities - fight the election in your own distinct style.

Cons: Pre-built options limited to 2012 & 2016 elections - others would have provided more fun possibilities. Gameplay entirely based on stats given at start of the game. Basic graphics characterised solely by maps and data. Tutorial isn't helpful - you'll be working a lot out by yourself.

Pros: Has a shuffle function and you can undo without penalty. Offers comprehensive game stats and easy layouts for newbies. Demo mode gives you the answer to the puzzles. All puzzles can be solved.

Cons: Should allow for more rule customization. The 3D effects and shadowing looks a little dated. They should have expanded upon this edition. A pause feature may improve the game.

Pros: Epic space battles. Impressive and immersive graphics. Torpedoes are exciting. Ships can be customised.

Cons: Rather awkward diplomacy system. Very easy combat system. The strategy element is confusing. Missions are rather repetitive.

Pros: Enjoyable, turn-based battle system. Large cast of characters. Simple gameplay will appeal to casual gamers. Reminiscent of old Final Fantasy games.

Cons: Lots of grinding required. Graphics are very simplistic. Lacks a truly compelling story. Spell books are under-powered.
