Carmageddon: Max Damage sees the player reduce pedestrians to gory slush across several arenas with cars built to cause mass devastation. Despite its issues, the game offers over 30 vehicles, 90 Power Ups, various game modes, several maps, and an Action Replay mode. You could argue that Max Damage would've been perfect back in the 90's or early 2000's when there was nothing else like it.

Rainbow Six Siege doesn't feel like modern day shooters, instead it's quite different. In some ways, it's refreshing. At other times, it feels like you're either constantly grinding for Renown, or watching a spectate screen.

I doubt anyone asked for the Hot Wheels Expansion, but at the same time, this is the expansion we always wanted to have in Forza. Whilst the execution should've been handled differently, I can't deny how much fun I've had with the Hot Wheels Expansion when playing online with friends.

While The Crew always had a solid and ambitious concept, Wild Run brings it to life with updated next-generation graphics, new vehicle specs for drift, dragsters and monster trucks, and even the introduction of motorcycles. While the handling and physics still remains an issue, it shouldn't prevent you from having fun when playing.

Need for Speed features a great line-up of cars, backed by the most authentic customization in the history of the franchise. The 'Five Ways to Play' and icons entice you to change up your style as you progress through Ventura Bay. While some issues might be frustrating, such as garage-space, no daytime and frame-rate drops; Ghost Games will hopefully continue to update and enhance Need for Speed in the months to come.

RIDE was a brave step-forward for Milestone and while the game greatly delivers on content, it has a variety of issues from bugs to crazy-long loading times.

Taking Call of Duty beyond Earth and into space has proven to be a canvas of some of the very best storytelling in the history of the franchise. Infinite Warfare may have received a lot of hate when it was initially revealed, but this is easily one of my favourite entries in the franchise to date.

Dead Rising 4 is all about one thing, and that's having fun. No matter where you go in Willamette, you're sure to find endless waves of zombies that you can batter down in your insane Warmonger or annihilate using your new Exo-Suit. There's so many ways to take down the undead horde in Dead Rising 4, and when you're done with the main storyline and levelling up Frank, head into multiplayer for even more crazy adventures in Willamette.

Far Cry Primal is without a doubt a step in the new direction for the franchise, telling a violent, but captivating story about the battle of the Wenja and Udam tribes. Despite some repetitive objectives, missions are action-packed and enjoyable, and taming beasts is easily my favourite feature found in Primal.

Resident Evil Zero might have frustrating controls, clunky navigation, and the most punishing inventory system you can find. However, it's HD remaster makes the game look good and the updated controls, while still finicky, still provide an enjoyable gameplay experience.

Amazing new cars, the same great music you know and love, and the addition of snow, ice, and treacherous, wintery weather conditions. This is what Blizzard Mountain is as you race and compete in thrilling events to become its top driver and be eventually named ‘King.’ It's a fantastic add-on for an already great racing game, and when you're up there, you'll never want to leave.
