In theory it sounds terrible, but Guitar Hero: Live's approximation of old-school music TV programming, coupled with the excellent hardware, makes it a winner.
London is wonderful, but Assassin's Creed's inherent problems ensure Syndicate never comes close to doing its world justice.
Imagine Contra meets Kid Chameleon via Super Meat Boy, with a touch of Sensible Software's irreverence, and you're there. One the most enjoyable couch multiplayer games I've played in quite a while.
The most refined version of Rock Band yet available, but not as essential as it once was.
A sumptuous remaster, but the games themselves have aged badly.
None of these problems keep PES 2016 from being the greatest football game of all time. The question is no longer whether PES can catch FIFA, and in truth hasn't been for a while. Instead, it's the other way around, and may well be for years.
A fitting swansong.
Early-game issues aside, Volume is an entertaining and addictive mix of Metal Gear Solid and Trials.
Beautiful and intriguing, frustrating and flawed, Everybody's Gone to the Rapture is nevertheless still worthy of your time.
An enjoyable, compulsively playable mix of driving and football.
Sophisticated, engaging, and utterly unique.
By turns brilliant and frustrating, a Nintendo classic and a missed opportunity.
Toren's weak central mechanics, repetitive action, and overall bugginess are mitigated somewhat by its engaging mood and direction.
Shorter, more tonally cohesive, and outright better than its predecessor.
A welcome addition to the main game, The Consequence deepens The Evil Within while being satisfying in its own right.
Episode 4 confirms what we already knew about Resident Evil Revelations 2: that it's a success, mixing and matching elements of Resi's old and new – while throwing in Raid mode – to good effect.
Enjoyable enough, but overall it adds little to Revelations 2.
The Assignment is a reasonably-sized add-on which fleshes out The Evil Within's story while building on what made it so enjoyable in the first place.
Reloaded.
Interesting co-op play and a decent cliffhanger sees Revelations 2 really get going.
