Hands-on: Binary Domain
"Shoot off the head of one of the many robots you're fighting and it's not long before they're staggering about aimlessly, shooting at their robotic brethren."
Text: Mike Holmes
Ridge Racer Unbounded
"There's liberal exuberance in its two-ton metallic flings; exciting in its voraciousness, but suitably bizarre in the extremities in which drifts play out."
Text: Gillen McAllister
2012's Most Wanted - Aliens: Colonial Marines
"This is an opportunity for Gearbox to really put itself on the map. All it needs to do is deliver a game worthy of the series. If only it were that simple."
Text: Mike Holmes
2012's Most Wanted: Prey 2
Our latest Most Wanted for next year is Prey 2: a title that trumps the identikit sequel stylings of many series with something wholly unique and exciting.

2012's Most Wanted: Halo 4
"Chances are that 343 is going to serve us up an entertaining game. Just how good it will be remains to be seen."
Text: Mike Holmes
Transformers: Fall of Cybertron
"The action looked a lot like in War of Cybertron, but the variation in levels and bots was much better than anticipated."
I Am Alive
"Visibility is poor, the high density of the air pollutant a killer - excursions below the dust line are high risk, but can yield collectables essential to your survival."
Text: Gillen McAllister
Mass Effect 3
"Seeing all the story threads come together in Mass Effect 3 is going to have a massive impact."
Text: Bengt Lemne
UFC Undisputed 3
"Yuke's took on the criticisms it received and developed a completely new system, which at first feels too hard. Way too hard."
Text: Petter Hegevall | Gamereactor Sweden
Final Fantasy XIII-2
"It's Terminator with a sexual predator twist...though we're aware that's the cynicism talking."
Text: Gillen McAllister
Hands-on: Syndicate
"Don't expect the old Bullfrog Syndicate, and don't expect Deus Ex and you're likely in for something very entertaining come February."
Text: Bengt Lemne
Hands-on: Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning
"You're the chosen one, brought back from the dead, to save a world where the mortal races are well on their way towards extinction."
Text: Bengt Lemne
Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary
"There's a fervent wish that 343 had the time to reupholster the entire game as such, even though such a grand undertaking its purely a pipe-dream."
Text: Gillen McAllister
Soul Calibur V
The newest info on Soul Calibur V has been revealed, as we go hands-on and round up all the latest on Namco Bandai's returning fighter.
Text: Gillen McAllister
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
"We've lived a lifetime already, and we've barely scraped three hours. We've barely scraped the world."
Text: Gillen McAllister
Assassin's Creed: Revelations
"Ezio may be 52, but he's still one of the strongest characters in the medium. If Revelations lives up to its promise, it will more than do justice to his memory."
Text: Nick Cowen
Max Payne 3
"Max was bald and sported an impressive beard, wore a Hawaiian shirt and spent his time in the colourful city of Sao Paulo..."
Text: Rasmus Lund-Hansen | GR Denmark
Syndicate
"This is a game that's captured the mood and world from the original, but not the gameplay..yet so far that's looking to be a good decision."
Text: Jonas Elfving | Gamereactor Sweden
Dragon's Dogma
"Much as in chess, proper management of pawns are key to your success in Dragon's Dogma."
Text: Bengt Lemne
Lollipop Chainsaw
"Before the boss clash, the UI flashes up a brief text description. Juliet promptly pushes it aside with a glib comment. It's classic fourth wall-breaking Suda51."
Text: Lorenzo Mosna
SSX
"EA makes a convincing case that these additions will better the brand rather than dilute it. And from the strength of content we're seeing, we're happy to come along for the ride."
Text: Gillen McAllister
Black Knight Sword
The studio's goal: a straightforward game based on an almost-forgotten genre, but with the look of "something original, never seen - something completely unique".
Darksiders II
"Playing as Death offers something different to his brother-in-arms: he's agile, fast, and has no qualms in using more extreme measures if they achieve results."
Text: Philip Lauritz Poulsen | Gamereactor Denmark
Lego Harry Potter: Years 5-7
"We wanted to introduce some details that only the most careful readers of the books could notice. So we created a game inspired by both films and novels," the studio explains.
Text: Lorenzo Mosna
Hands-on: Soul Calibur V
Rasmus Lund-Hansen slipped into Hilde's costume and took Soul Calibur V for a spin in Cologne.
Text: Rasmus Lund-Hansen (Gamereactor Denmark)
Ridge Racer Unbounded
"Even at its current alpha version, Unbounded shows a lot of promise in becoming one of the best arcade racers around."
Text: Matti Isotalo | GR Finland
Aliens: Colonial Marines
"While not completely enthusiastic by what we've seen - more due to sensory exhaustion than anything - we leave the presentation feeling cautiously optimistic."
Text: Rasmus Lund-Hansen (Gamereactor Denmark)
GoldenEye 007 Reloaded
"GoldenEye 007 Reloaded looks to be a good pick for Bond fans, and for those who are looking from something other than modern war titles."
Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor
"We're in the technological Stone Age and, as much due to the lack of easily-accessible porn as the world being thrown into disorganised chaos, war breaks out."
Text: Martin Eiser
Gotham City Impostors
"Gotham City Impostors was one of the strangest games at Gamescom 2011 and probably one of the weirdest spin-offs since Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball."
Text: Lorenzo Mosna
Borderlands 2
"Now you want machine guns with really big clips that I can just 'rawr' forever and totally just Arnold out and be all powerful."
Text: Bengt Lemne
Catherine
"If you like your games edging on the unusual, and are looking for relief from the traditional this winter, you're likely not going to find a better candidate than Catherine."
Text: Lorenzo Mosna
Gears of War 3
Text: Gillen McAllister
Rise of Nightmares
"After motioning to swim across the lake, it'll swiftly be followed by slapping your arms like a junkie in need of a vein to swipe at blood-sucking leeches chomping on your flesh."
Text: Gillen McAllister
Pro Evolution Soccer 2012
"There is still a touch of arcade in the dribbling, and the passing feels incredibly smooth. The controls feel extremely natural, almost like liquid."
Text: David Moschini (Gamereactor Germany)
Rage
"An FPS with the scope of an action-RPG, from the makers of the most iconic series in the genre? Reason enough for id Software to raise middle finger - or crafty wink - to its competitors."
Text: Gillen McAllister
Sonic Generations
"Reflexes twenty years trained cause us to tap left as we're cannoned out of an S-tunnel to plunge directly through a cascade of rings. We're back home."
Text: Gillen McAllister
Driver: San Francisco Multiplayer
"Despite the era it emulates resounding with the sublime sounds of funk, soul and a little dabble in disco, Driver's multiplayer is pure punk rock; short, punchy and violent."
Text: Gillen McAllister
Rayman Origins
"Social walls crumble, chatter erupts, strategies form...as much as 'I'll go first, and don't you bloody hit me when I do' can be labelled strategy."
Text: Gillen McAllister
Dishonored
"The central idea is that instead of coal and steampower, the era of industrialism was brought on by giant whaling ships."
Text: Christofer Olsson (Gamereactor Sweden)
Dead Island
"Boss encounters block the game's fast-paced flow like a violent discharge into the toilet, requiring all hands, and makeshift weapons, to clear the way."
Text: Gillen McAllister
Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet
"Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet is a game you just cannot ignore and we're confident it will take us on a journey we won't forget."
Text: Bengt Lemne
Bioshock Infinite
"Everywhere we went people were going on and on about Bioshock Infinite at E3."
Text: Bengt Lemne
Hitman: Absolution
"Hitman: Absolution looks good. Really good...the game can stand tall alongside the best titles of today. IO Interactive just put itself back into the graphical arms race."
Text: Rasmus Lund-Hansen
Gears of War 3
"Credits are used to purchase decoys, automatic machine guns and barriers; a good economy is key to survival. Civilisation with chainsaws, if you will."
Ghost Recon: Future Soldier
"It's the technology being created here that is getting its first field-test via the virtual conditions of Ghost Recon...the result is already massively exciting."
Text: Emil Ryttergaard | GR Denmark
Battlefield 3
Whether it's enough to win the war or not is up for the players to decide, but Battlefield 3 is probably as strong competition as Call of Duty and Modern Warfare is ever going to see.
Text: Bengt Lemne
Tomb Raider
"It interweaves genuine feelings of disgust, fear and terror with the sort of seamless ability that you've grown to expect only from the finest horror films."
Text: Gillen McAllister
Assassin's Creed: Revelations
"It's a pretty complex story, like a high-tech conspiracy version of Days of our Lives, and Revelations is the final part of Ezio's story."
Text: Petter Mårtensson
Saints Row: The Third
"Let's stick with the funny for the moment. Because Saints Row is very funny indeed. In that overly-violent-Joe Pesci-kinda-way sure, but funny nevertheless."
