Broken Age Act 1
"What really elevates Broken Age from just a nice story with simple and proven point-and-click mechanics, is the presentation."
Text: Bengt Lemne
Nidhogg
"When it comes to local multiplayer, Nidhogg hits all the right notes."
Text: Mike Holmes
Might & Magic X: Legacy
"There is a certain nostalgic charm to revisiting the old landmarks, but that charm quickly wears off."
Text: Adrian Berg
OlliOlli
There hasn't been a (new) skateboarding game in a while.
Text: Christian Gaca
The Banner Saga
"It's a mature game, as thought provoking as it is beautiful."
Text: Mike Holmes
Assassin's Creed: Liberation HD
some of the flaws were expected, but it's still hard to see anyone but the hardcore Assassin's Creed fans finding this interesting."
Text: Bengt Lemne
Joe Danger Infinity
Back in 2010 the world got a new daredevil

Don't Starve: Console Edition
Winter is coming and a straw hat won't keep you warm.
Text: Bengt Lemne
Colossatron: Massive World Threat
"As you'd expect, laying waste to cities is massively addictive."
Text: Bengt Lemne
Halo: Spartan Assault
"For the most part it's pretty fun to play. However, there's no Master Chief and it's no masterpiece."
Text: Mike Holmes
Doki-Doki Universe
"The most fascinating part of the experience isn't QT3 or the animations, but instead the many ways in which the game tries to find out about you - the player holding the controller."
Text: Thomas Blichfeldt
Fighter Within
"It doesn't matter how pretty it is when the rest of the package is lacking in every other conceivable department."
Text: Mike Holmes
Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag Freedom Cry
"War as entertainment is something that we've acclimatised to through multiple generations and mediums. Prisoners of war and human trafficking however, is a different issue entirely."
Text: Gillen McAllister
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
"If we look past the negatives, it must be said how wonderful it is see this game fit neatly on a device that fits in your pocket."
Text: Lee West
Stick It To The Man!
Read minds with a giant pink arm sticking out of your head and take down the man in order to save the day in this adventure/platformer.
Text: Bengt Lemne
Gran Turismo 6
"It amazes me that GT6 fails to address so many of the franchise's problems, filling the game with more content rather than fixing the more basic problems."
Text: Thomas Blichfeldt
Bravely Default
"Disregard the micro-transactions, ignore the SP-cheating, and you've one of the best RPGs for the 3DS since Fire Emblem: Awakening."
Text: Oskar Nyström
Assassin's Creed: Pirates
Ubisoft's cut out the sailing from Black Flag and transplanted it to tablet for a game solely about life at sea.
Text: Lee West
FIFA 14: Next Gen
"FIFA 14 on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One is not a true next-gen FIFA, however, it is a fantastic football game."
Need for Speed: Rivals
"It borrows from Most Wanted, which borrowed from Hot Pursuit, which takes a lot from Burnout Paradise. All in all it's hard to shake the feeling of déjà vu."
Text: Thomas Blichfeldt
Resogun
"Gorgeous and complex, Housemarque's PS4 launch shooter is a joy to behold."
Text: Gillen McAllister
Xcom: Enemy Within
"The price is high, especially for console users, but if you loved the original game this is certainly worth it."
Text: Kenneth Flage
World of Warplanes
"With time they'll naturally add more planes, upgrades and game modes, but sadly the latter category is rather lacking at this point."
Text: Oskar Nyström
Contrast
"If you're willing to accede to the twitchy controls and prefer a mystery to a clear answer, then Contrast is worth experiencing."
Text: Gillen McAllister
Knack
"Knack isn't a bad game, but it doesn't really inspire you either."
Lococycle
"In trying to ape something that's beautifully bad, Twisted Pixel has inadvertently made something that's not very good."
Text: Mike Holmes
Ryse: Son of Rome
"While the combat system works fine, and is suitably gory, after a while you're just going through the motions."
Text: Mike Holmes
Forza Motorsport 5
"Turn 10's Xbox One racer is the next-gen launch title we've been waiting for."
Text: Mike Holmes
Tearaway
Media Molecule is one of Sony's most prolific studios.
Super Mario 3D World
"This is exactly the kind of gaming magic the Wii U has been waiting for. It's not the gameplay leap of Mario 64 or Galaxy, but it's as enjoyable."
Text: Thomas Blichfeldt
Dead Rising 3
"For those seeking a return to the comedy thrills of past iterations, there's enough of that original spirit here for that to still be possible, despite the grittier tone."
Text: Mike Holmes
Killer Instinct
"Killer Instinct is a technically complicated fighter, and it's deep despite the shallow pool of characters."
Text: Mike Holmes
Crimson Dragon
"The repeated objectives and clunky controls detract from what could have been a better experience."
Text: Jon Newcombe
Zoo Tycoon
"There are plenty of features but it's rarely a hefty challenge. It's a game to be enjoyed at a relaxed pace, an experience to celebrate and share because it's so refreshingly pleasant."
Text: Jon Newcombe
Deadfall Adventures
"It's like taking Raiders of the Lost Ark and replacing half the lines with scenes from 'When Harry Met Sally'."
Text: Alysia Judge
Lego Marvel Super Heroes
"If you have never had much time for the Lego games before now, this one won't change your mind. But if you know the difference between Dormammu and Deadpool, you'll be right at home here."
Text: Nick Cowen
The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds
"Yes, it's an experience dipped heavily in nostalgia. It offers few surprises to the franchise formula. But it's the strongest entry in the top-down branch of the series since, well, A Link to the Past."
Text: Gillen McAllister
Killzone: Shadow Fall
"Killzone: Shadow Fall ends up being a nice side attraction that, despite a few frustrating elements, shows what PlayStation 4 is capable of."
Ratchet & Clank: Nexus
"Being used to the lengthier adventures of the duo, I felt like I had only been given the second act and final battle from a much longer game."
Text: Mika Sorvari
Bioshock Infinite: Burial at Sea
"Burial at Sea is an enjoyable blast through a familiar setting. But the short run time raises a difficult question."
Text: Jon Newcombe
WWE 2K14
"The criticisms are, fortunately, not significant enough to thwart one's enjoyment of the game."
Text: Thomas Blichfeldt
Rayman Fiesta Run
Rayman returns with another run.
Text: Lee West
Call of Duty: Ghosts
"It's hard to find something else that offers so much to the player. Ghosts is the complete package."
Text: Christian Gaca
The Stanley Parable
"In short, it's a modern masterpiece."
Text: Mike Holmes
Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag
"The world is your playground and you can do as you please in it."
Text: Rasmus Lund-Hansen
Battlefield 4
"No one will leave this game disappointed, unless your focus is the single-player mode."
Text: Oskar Nyström
Football Manager 2014
"The real beauty of Football Manager is in the stories you will experience."
Text: Jon Newcombe
Defense Technica
"This may just be the most generic tower defense we've experienced, but it's not all bad news."
Text: Bengt Lemne
Forced
"Despite being impaled on several brutally sharp difficulty spikes, we were impressed with what Forced had to offer."
