The big get here is, obviously, Street Fighter IV, but it's a bit of a letdown that it's the original 2009 version of the game, and not 2014's overhauled iteration, Ultra Street Fighter IV.
Luxor 2 and Poker Smash (despite its title making it seem like a card-playing simulator) are charming puzzle titles, and Madballs revives the 1980s rubber ball toy line as a top-down shooter.
