Platformines

Magiko Gaming serves what appeared to be a mix of a 2D Borderlands and Terraria, but ultimately fell short of the target.

Lego The Hobbit

After releasing The Lord of the Rings in Lego, it's only natural that The Hobbit is given the same treatment. We've gone on an adventure with Bilbo and his friends.

The Elder Scrolls Online

We've now spent 12 days playing The Elder Scrolls Online, and now we're finally ready to offer our verdict on the ambitious MMORPG take on the popular Elder Scrolls franchise.

Trials Frontier

"So, the question: can you live with involuntary breaks? It's a normal obstacle with the freemium model, but other elements that come with free-to-play also invade Trials' usually slick arcade facade."

Betrayer

"We thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere and the sound design is very good, but by the end it started to feel like a grind."

FTL: Faster Than Light - Advanced Edition

"We really liked FTL before, but thanks to the changes made by Subset Games, now we absolutely love it."

Dynasty Warriors 8: Xtreme Legends

"If you've skipped a couple of entries it's the ideal place to jump back in. While we do long for Omega Force to radically innovate the concept, there's no denying the depth on offer here."

Goat Simulator

"Ugly, short, broken. Goat Simulator may be an artistic critique on the indie scene. Or maybe its just a very crap game about an apocalyptic goat."

TowerFall Ascension

"There's single player distractions if you need them, but at the heart of it sits a fantastic multiplayer shooter."

Diablo III: Reaper of Souls

"Blizzard brings more adventure, more loot and more randomness to Diablo III."

Windforge

"To get to the good stuff - the crafting, the aerial battles, the flying whales, the exploration - you've got a brave a few other, less welcoming elements."

Bioshock Infinite: Burial at Sea - Episode 2

"This could have been the crowning moment of the Bioshock series."

Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z

"At its best, it's low-brow gory fun, but in comparison to some of the great games releasing at the moment, it's definitely one of the poorer titles of 2014."

Infamous: Second Son

"Sure, it would have been better with more varied missions, but ultimately Infamous: Second Son lives up to and surpasses its predecessors."

Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney

"The unusual setting brings in unusual elements for both games, but also as a result makes the experience refreshing from what we've become used to."

Luftrausers

"It's harsh, uncompromising action that tests the reflexes like the coin-munching arcade games of yesteryear."

Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes

"For a game of this size we'd have needed more content, or a much lower price point, to make this a recommended must buy. Have some patience, and wait until The Phantom Pain releases."

Yoshi's New Island

"Sloppy. Not a word usually associated with a Nintendo title. But an apt one for this."

Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft

"All in all Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft is a colourful, addictive and high quality collectable card game."

Dark Souls II

"The game has lost none of its relentless difficulty, and the many improvements make it a great experience for veterans and newcomers. But it may not be for everybody."

Titanfall

"Titanfall's a damn fine multiplayer shooter worth your time and money: that's the bottom line."

Dead Nation: Apocalypse Edition

"The hordes of zombies are nearly infinite, and luckily the same can be said of the ammunition for your standard gun."

Tower of Guns

"Tower of Guns is an exercise in patience, fortitude and old school twitch reflexes. It's an arcade game with an endless supply of enemies and a single goal, get to the top of the tower."

South Park: The Stick of Truth

"It's fun and entertaining, and beneath the simple surface and the fart jokes there's a surprisingly well functioning RPG."

World of Tanks: Xbox 360 Edition

"On the outside it might just look like big, metallic monsters brutishly blasting away at each other, but there's actually a refreshing amount of tactical depth here."

Rambo: The Video Game

"There are virtually no redeeming features as John Rambo makes it over to the video game scene a few decades after his heydays."

Earth Defense Force 2025

"Even though one may not believe it at first glance, the game is extremely rich on content and offers a lot of depth to experts."

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2

"Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 takes elements of the first game to pioneer the interconnected world - Symphony of the Night - and mixes it in with the God of War series."

Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare

"It's a much better game than you'd think. But we can't help but feel this would have made a better case as a Xbox Live Arcade title rather than a (nearly) full-priced retail release."

Thief

"Yes, it's got issues, and no, it's not perfect, but underneath some suffocating design decisions is a really solid game."

TxK

"Llamasoft's focus on psychedelic colours has never found a better home than on the OLED screen of the PlayStation Vita."

Toukiden: The Age of Demons

Dynasty Warriors meets Monster Hunter in this combat-focused PS Vita exclusive.

Strider

Capcom's cyber-ninja returns on digital.

Jazzpunk

"Jazzpunk fires gags instead of bullets, and rewards the player for thorough exploration rather than skill and ability."

Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze

"This is an entertaining platform adventure that convinces you of its worth with beautiful visuals, plenty of personality and incredible challenge."

The Lego Movie Videogame

"It's hard not to be excited by this title, one that feels so fresh compared to past titles and is the best take on a movie tie-in we've seen in a while."

The Last of Us: Left Behind

"In this single player DLC, Naughty Dog expands on the story of The Last of Us, and the result is nothing short of excellent."

Dungeon Keeper

"For every second of actually doing something or making decisions, you'll be faced with several minutes of just waiting around. It's an anti-game."

Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII

"Given that this is the end of a trilogy, we're not just burdened with saving humanity, but also the challenge of trying to keep track of the narrative."

Unepic

"Unepic is one of those games where every mistake or careless misstep is punished."

Fable Anniversary

We venture back to Albion for this anniversary edition, but is a trip down memory lane worthy of your time and money?

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."

Nidhogg

"When it comes to local multiplayer, Nidhogg hits all the right notes."

Might & Magic X: Legacy

"There is a certain nostalgic charm to revisiting the old landmarks, but that charm quickly wears off."

OlliOlli

There hasn't been a (new) skateboarding game in a while.

The Banner Saga

"It's a mature game, as thought provoking as it is beautiful."

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."

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.

Colossatron: Massive World Threat

"As you'd expect, laying waste to cities is massively addictive."
