Postal: Brain Damaged rectifies the tarnished reputation of the well-known franchise and delivers a fun old-school action game with some really fast and bloody gameplay, but it's dragged down by some really bad humour and also some underdeveloped aspects within the pacing of the game as a whole, where when it starts serving up good levels, it doesn't fill them with new content. But you'll still have fun.

Star Wars Episode I: Jedi Power Battles is sort of the ultimate version of the game, where you can find all the content in one place, even from different versions (and it's based on the Dreamcast version). So there's lots of characters, levels, a gallery of bonus material and other content. But it's not a good experience. It's full of bugs, often major ones, that often make it impossible to progress through the game.

They don't make games like that anymore, and Ninja Gaiden 2 Black shows that this is a game with roots that go back almost 20 years. It's overly bloody, overly provocative, but it suits the game. Just like the dynamic action gameplay that won't let you breathe a sigh of relief. What's more, there's still a decent level of challenge to keep you going and motivated to improve. It's just a shame that, after all this time, the developers haven't tried to tweak a few things.

Donkey Kong Country Returns HD is a great game to play. It always has been and always will be. What's more, you can enjoy it with a friend in local co-op, which adds to the fun. The problem is that this remaster feels too basic. Nintendo has got a little lazy compared to the remasters at the start of the Switch generation, which brought a wagonload of new content.

G.I. Joe: Wrath of Cobra is an example of a game that doesn't make you feel anything - positive or negative, just nothing. I'd go as far as to say it's a useless game. It's not a bad game, it's not a good game, it's just an uninspiring grey mediocrity that you'll forget about five minutes after you finish it, if you force yourself to finish it at all.

The Thing: Remastered brings back to life the unjustly forgotten survival horror game that, while never achieving the cult status of its cinematic predecessor, still offers an interesting gameplay experience with mechanics that still feel fresh and new today. Unfortunately, the game also suffers from some of the original's shortcomings, such as very weak AI and a drop in pacing and atmosphere towards the end.

Fancy something fun, funny, creative, sarcastic and intelligent all at the same time? In The Holy Gosh Darn you'll get it all, in the form of one of the best adventure games of the year, with a brilliantly written script that's very hard to get away from.

It's refreshing to play the Soul Reaver games again after so many years in one big, beautifully enhanced package. So you have a new opportunity to (once again) play a pair of games in a unique and mysterious world with a wonderfully interwoven story and charismatic characters. Whether you're a newcomer or a veteran of the originals, there's something here for everyone.

Arizona Sunshine Remake should be in the library of every action game fan and VR headset owner. It's not a perfect game, and there aren't many improvements over the original, but it's honest and bloody action that could have been a lot better.

Monster Jam Showdown isn't the best racing game of the year, but it doesn't set out to be. It's supposed to be an honest arcade game with an accessible career for everyone, and the developers at Milestone have succeeded.

After a long time, Metro Awakening is finally another reason to take the VR headset out of the shelf, dust it off and play something. It's a game you'll enjoy thanks to its very good atmosphere and decent story, but it has a rather rambling narrative that's hard to follow at times.

Discover the story behind the creation of one of the most iconic games of all time in a unique interactive documentary with video and text, accompanied by 14 playable versions of Tetris. Sadly, the Game Boy version, arguably the most important, is missing.

Capcom's nostalgic package of classic comic book arcade games delivers exactly what you expect. Unfortunately, it doesn't really add anything extra.

Digital Eclipse have set the bar pretty high with their previous collections, and here they have lowered it a little. However, they have still given us a great game in perhaps its best form yet.

The ravages of time are already showing on Sonic Generations, and while visually it's a very good improvement, some of the content changes are unnecessary and the gameplay hasn't aged well. Shadows Generations, by comparison, at least offers something fresh, albeit shorter. But it does manage to entertain, and you can enjoy those few hours with the game. Overall, this remaster isn't bad at all, but it also shows that Sonic has a problem these days and doesn't quite know how to deal with it.

Life is Strange: Double Exposure does a lot of things well. When it comes to Max and her emotional and personal journey from trauma to self-discovery, it works. The main character entertains you, tugs at your heartstrings, and you're happy to be on this journey with her. But when it comes to the twists and turns of the story and the internal logic of the plot of the new game, that's where it starts to creak.

Sometimes less is more, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants Unleashed is a great example of this. It would have benefited from being shorter and stripped of the redundant and repetitive content that even crosses the line into annoying. The pacing would be better, the content wouldn't feel so schematic, and the game would be more enjoyable.

Nikoderiko does things you already know from other games. Only it does them in a worse way. You want a game like that? Play Crash. Play Donkey Kong Country. Play the new Astro Bot, even though it's a different kind of platform game. All of these games are much better and won't frustrate you with stupid bugs or even glitches. If anything stands out here, it's the graphics and the local co-op.

I can't say that I didn't enjoy Unknown 9: Awakening. I liked some aspects of it, Haroona is a likeable character and the world manages to intrigue me. But mechanically and technologically, it's a game lost in time. It's as if someone suddenly discovered it in a drawer where it had been lying around since 2007. These days, action-adventure games like this are made better, funnier and more variable.

All in all, Super Mario Party Jamboree doesn't really have too many negatives. It's a really fun party collection of mini-games that will appeal to the whole family and a bunch of friends. It offers a great selection of minigames, well-tuned mechanics, dynamic maps and a bunch of side modes as well. The core of the game hasn't really changed, so it kind of feels like an expansion to Super Mario Party.
