A fantastic start to a five-part episodic adventure, King's Quest wins you over with his stunning visuals, brilliant script and fun adventure gameplay.
Confusing story-line leaves you muddled, though there's plenty of laugh-out-loud moments and entertaining combat to enjoy amidst the head-noddingly cool soundtrack.
God of War III is a title worth playing as you can see by the review score, but it's just hard to recommend one game for $40 when you can spend $20 and get five including GoW III.
Boasting some superb art design and fun battle/puzzles mash-ups, Toren is a worthwhile experience let down by some shoddy combat and bugs.
Omega Quintet's solid combat and J-POP soundtrack are great and well utilized, but it's held back by its story where its invading forces don't seem to matter as much as the everyday lives of the teenage Maidens you control.
Great soundtrack, intuitive controls and challenging boss fights make up for Titan Souls' short length and lack of narrative.
A strategic hack 'n slash with an impressive upgrade system and welcome Nightmare mode, but it looks bland and combat often feels shallow.
The best game in the DmC series looks fantastic on PS4. A great action game and one of the best re-releases of the past couple of years.
For those that have played deck-building games or Dungeons & Dragons will know, sometimes it just comes down to the luck of the draw or the roll of the die. Some may find the game easy while others may just rage quit due to the unfairness of the draw.

Nevertheless, BioWare's four years spent developing Dragon Age: Inquisition have paid off, as it's easily the company's greatest achievement.

The UbiART engine delivers another great artistic showpiece telling a story through animation, a powerful and harrowing musical score and documentary-like narration. Valiant Hearts doesn't depict what war may have been like, it makes you feel it.
Murdered: Soul Suspect is a title with many great ideas, but not great execution. Its intriguing story had me hooked from beginning to end and the town of Salam brought much history to its troubled past.The idea of being a ghost was presented well, it's execution was hindered by too much hand holding and no penalties to the choices and deductions the player makes.
Child of Light is a game that should not be missed, especially by RPG fans. If someone asked me to give them an example of why video games are considered art, Child of Light would be that game. Child of Light is easily an early contender for Game of the Year.
Despite the repetition, Mercenary Kings offers an addictive customization system and a good all-round shoot 'em up experience.
