A game that could and should have scored a lot higher, but just can't quite pull the game together.
The best city building game since the heydays of the 90's when SimCity ruled supreme.
Helldivers isn't game that has come out of nowhere, but it is one that has fully exceeded expectations.
A wonderful entry into the first person puzzle solving genre and whilst other games do individual elements better, Pneuma nails it as a package.
Aaru's Awakening is a competent if unspectacular game, that with a little more time in the oven could have been much better as an overall experience.
Dying Light shares much with Dead Island, some would probably say a little too much, but it cuts away a lot of the septic flesh and binds the wounds with some new (if not entirely fresh) ideas.
ScreamRide is a decent game that could have been much better, but it is still worth owning just for the sandbox alone.
OlliOlli 2: Welcome to Olliwood is more of the same, but that isn't a bad thing by any stretch of the imagination.
Not for everyone, but Pillar sets out with a goal and achieves them.
A decent concept, that has been marketed and presented totally wrong.
Taking it's cues from classics of the past and adding a B-Movie style over the top, Roundabout hits all the right notes.
The best Deck Building video game around right now, as it works for veterans and casuals at the same time.
Evolve is a game that walks a fine tightrope of success and failure with its setup. Luckily it manages to stay balanced and become a worthwhile purchase.
The spiritual successor to Hydro Thunder Hurricane and the best £5 you will spend in 2015.
The Escapists has us bang to rights! Lock us up and throw away the key!
Splice is a game that will cause you great amounts of stress, but also rewards you with a sense of accomplishment.
A very clever and well crafted game. The constant climb up the castle and gradual revelation of the mystery within it are engaging and will likely keep you striving until you reach the end.
Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris may sound like the latest in a set of fan fiction books for the latest teen fad, but it is if anything the better of the Tomb Raider games in the last few years.
As it is though, this is just another wrestling game and unless you absolutely MUST own the next gen version, then there is little reason to upgrade. WWE 2K15 isn't a 'bad' game, but it is now certainly a very stale one.
It is the gaming equivalent of finding yourself heading to a hotel room after a wedding with the two best look bridesmaids on each arm. You know you are coming out of that experience with huge grin that isn't going to go away anytime soon.
