Grand Theft Auto V
GTA V doesn’t break new ground. It’s not going to change the world. It is, after all, the fifth numbered title in a well loved series and for the most part it is simply delivering more of what the developers must know the fans want to see. To expect otherwise...
A Realm Reborn is a pure product of Square’s admirable determination and passion. It’s not ground-breaking in any shape or form yet introduces enough new and refined ideas to warrant attention. Not only that, it manages to replicate that classic MMO feel on consoles, something which seemed like an impossibility...
Puppeteer
Puppeteer is, at its heart, a charming adventure, though not without its issues; it may have wasted the potential required with the interchangeable head idea to become something really special, but you will no doubt find yourself joining in with the audience laughing along to the antics on show and...
Disney Infinity
It’s not a game for the financially weary yet, unlike so many titles aimed at kids, gives them something they can come back to again and again. In this respect Disney Infinity could be described as more of an investment; with Playsets and additional character being cheaper than movie tie-ins...
KickBeat
Zen Studios have to be given some respect in taking a stale genre and breathing new life into it. KickBeat is a good game and it does provide good entertainment, however the game is crying out for more songs in the Story mode as imported songs don’t feel as well...
Real Boxing
As the first boxing game on the PS Vita, Real Boxing has set a high standard. It may not be anything ground-breaking but I feel the title should be regarded as one of the Vita’s best games yet. With vastly improved visuals, animations and control schemes over the mobile version,...
Lost Planet 3
The series has come a long way since Extreme Condition yet, even now, Lost Planet is still playing catch-up. It often feels as though Capcom wanted to emulate other, more successful third person shooters, namely Dead Space. It may have succeeded in that pursuit, though the genre continues to expand...
Total War: Rome II
Rome II is a particularly ambitious overhaul of the Total War franchise. It streamlines and touches upon almost every aspect of the turn-based campaign, whilst broadening the scope to include distinct biomes and many contrasting cultures for you to clash with. It is without a doubt the most comprehensive Total...
Rayman Legends
Rayman Legends doesn’t need a thousand words of explanation and assessment. It’s not a weighty, narrative driven game that will make you postulate meanings or attribute deep allegorical intentions. This is a game about not thinking, it’s a game about letting go and just enjoying the colours and sounds and...
SteamWorld Dig
SteamWorld Dig is a genuine surprise; I hadn’t expected to find such a fantastic indie title on the 3DS eShop, but I’m extremely glad I did. It’s easy to see that the developers, Image & Form, have put a lot of love and care into this game, delivering one of...
The Bureau comes as a very pleasant surprise. It’s not a cynical cash-in on Enemy Unknown’s success, it’s not a forgettable me-too third person cover-based shooter and it’s not a clunky shoe-horning of familiar ideas into a new set of mechanics. The Bureau has occasional problems with pacing, it could...
Mars: War Logs
Throughout your travels you will no doubt talk to a number of NPCs and pick up side-missions. Though a great source of bonus experience, don’t expect to enjoy them. Most will simply have you running from one checkpoint to the next, delivering messages before returning. It’s a cheap way to...
