Invincible VS is fun for fans of the series but too generic for others. This is a fighting game that doesn’t do anything special, but doesn’t do much wrong either. Each character fights largely the same way but has their own flair. The story mode is a nice addition (though rather short); couch co-op and online battles add more longevity. The graphic style could have been more authentic and the finish isn’t quite up to scratch either. The 3v3 battles add a nice tactical element without going overboard. Still, this Invincible VS will be largely invisible within a few months.

Resident Evil: Requiem brings everything we love within the Resident Evil franchise and delivers it at a very high level. Creepy exciting survival horror and action horror full of adrenaline and gore go hand in hand without walking in front of each other's feet. But good too, because those who stumble are torn apart in this game world. This Resident Evil looks beautiful, sounds great and plays damn smooth. Puzzles, horrors and plot twists keep you on the edge of your seat.

It may be a half miracle but Black Ops 7 is a damn strong shooter. The futuristic setting brings a lot of fun new toys in a familiar formula that is basically just good. This year's smooth multiplayer includes handsome, dynamic maps and fun new game modes. Zombies can also show off the new content. There is enough to get excited about, although the co-op campaign is half a mistake. With friends it is sometimes fun but in itself it is repetitive and bland. Fortunately, this is far from enough reason to break down COD this year. This FPS, just like my gravemaker sniper, shoots powerfully through the walls of criticism.

Battlefield 6 is a very polished FPS that plays it a bit too safe. The bar for this series is set incredibly high: you get a solid shooter with impressive graphics (though the improvement is minimal), fantastic audio, and smooth gameplay. This latest installment places more emphasis on close-quarters combat without forgetting its roots. There are simply fewer memorable moments without Behemoths, Levelution, or dynamic weather. That “tactical destruction” is a bit more of a letdown than it is a source of “wow” moments. Tactical teamwork with your squad remains a true pleasure on the bombastic battlefields. Still, I expect just a little more from my beloved series.

Hawkman is back with a new collection of iconic levels and skaters. There’s a fair bit more creative licence in this remake bundle, featuring new levels and a revamped career mode for THPS4. Still, most of the changes are positive. The updated soundtrack (which still includes a few nostalgic hits) is brilliant and fits the series perfectly. Combine the sharp graphics, wonderfully smooth gameplay and a vast array of varied levels packed with fun missions, and you’re set for hours of skating fun.

MindsEye is definitely an enjoyable adventure if you know what to expect. No, this isn’t a deep open world with a million options and intricate gameplay. It’s a simple shooter set in a cool environment that starts to feel a bit repetitive too quickly, but still delivers some fun, cinematic moments. Anyone fancying a dozen or so hours of cool sci-fi action without too many frills has come to the right place. Anyone expecting freedom of movement, unique high-tech gadgets or a skill tree will be disappointed. MindsEye takes you firmly by the hand, but certainly doesn’t drag you through a river of muck. My play sessions easily lasted several hours.
