NBA 2K13
As sports franchises go, NBA 2K is utterly unchallenged, with EA giving up on its rival NBA Live series not once, but twice having once been the basketball game of choice, years ago. Year on year, NBA 2K builds upon increasingly accomplished foundations, growing into what has inarguably become the...
Resident Evil 6
There was a time when zombies were actually something of a novelty in games, and not the enemy of choice in practically every shooter ever made ever, ever. Ever. Resident Evil stood out as something distinctive and fresh back in 1996 when it was originally released, but Resident Evil 6...
Borderlands 2
It's been too long since we last visited Pandora, foraging for guns and loot. Almost three years in fact, and in that time we've found little to fill the void left by Borderlands, which brought its own inimitable brand of shoot 'n' loot action with a bazillion guns and a...
F1 2012
In the space of just two short seasons, Codemasters has almost already reached a pinnacle of quality with its F1 series, representing the sport with an almost unerring level of accuracy and attention to detail. With F1 2011 proving to be one of the finest Formula One games ever produced,...
NHL 13
Without a shadow of a doubt, the NHL series is the undisputed king of the ice, and has been for some time. Consequently, the competition has pretty much given up, leaving EA Sports lording it over its virtual representation of ice hockey, like Madden NFL is top of the food...
Never underestimate the power of nostalgia. It's the reason why we liked Transformers: War for Cybertron perhaps more than it deserved, although it was undoubtedly the best Transformers game since now defunct developer Melbourne House's effort back in 2004. Amid abhorrent Michael Bay movie tie-ins, War for Cybertron stood head...
Sleeping Dogs
Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Tony Jaa, Chuck Norris and Steven Seagal (OK, perhaps to a lesser extent for those last two) are undisputed martial arts masters one and all. But you can add Sleeping Dogs' Wei Shen to that list, as from the moment he kung fu kicks...
Game of Thrones
A popular series of books and a subsequent hit HBO TV show has ensured that Game of Thrones is a huge deal and cultural phenomenon, transforming the tie-in game that was originally based solely upon the novels, into something of a high-profile prospect. An RPG that takes elements from both...
Spec Ops: The Line
War is hell. If you needed any further convincing of that fact, then perhaps Spec Ops: The Line can be of some assistance. Set amid a ruined Dubai buried deep in the sand and vast undulating dunes, you're strapped into the army boots of Captain Martin Walker, as he seeks...
Dirt Showdown
Ever since DiRT 2 brought off-roading's 'extreme' aspects to the fore, embracing drivers like Travis Pastrana and Ken Block, the series has increasingly divided fans who've been screaming out for a return to the rally roots of old. There are those that love the OTT aspects and spectacle of the...
Max Payne 3
A true cinematic gaming masterpiece, Max Payne 3 is not just another triumph for Rockstar, but testament to what it can do when it turns its hand to linear storytelling. Max Payne 3 might be a stylistic shift for the series, but it's also a raw and brutal portrait of...
Prototype 2
As the old adage goes, absolute power corrupts absolutely, but having absolute power in Prototype 2 is so damn liberating, that it's hard to care about anti-hero Sgt. James Heller's gradual downward spiral as his humanity ebbs away. As a lead character, he's hardly the most charismatic protagonist and you...
