Age of Wonders 3 is a magical turned-based sequel with many intricacies. It provides outstanding value and compelling reasons to keep growing your empire each turn.
Probably one of the best Lego games out there, on par with the excellent Lego Marvel Superheroes. Worth a look, especially if you're a Tolkien fan.
NES Remix 2 only takes a small step forward from the game we got merely 5 months ago. Playing these segmented pieces of great games will remind you how fun the classics were, but Remix 2 struggles to find its individuality.
Barely notable enough to be worth mentioning, but a fun little outing nonetheless. I'd call it 'cheap and cheerful', but there's plenty more 'cheerful' out there for equivalent levels of 'cheap'.
The Trials series keeps expanding, making you wonder where it will go next. As for the present, this is still a wonderfully fun and engaging game that will delight and frustrate you in equal measures.
A fun side-scrolling shooter marred with some frustrating design choices. There's a lot of interesting ideas here but nothing other than the crafting system really shines.
There's plenty here to keep fans of space combat genre interested as well as newcomers trying out zero gravity warfare for the first time. Worth it for those wanting something more challenging.
Kinect Sports Rivals is solid enough to get players moving, and provides entertainment when competing against friends. As much as the game may try, however, the limitations of Kinect is its biggest rival.
Leaves a lot to be desired, particularly in the gameplay department, but offers plenty of richly-detailed exploration and story for those prepared to do some serious digging.
Infamous: Second Son is yet another technical tour de force for the PlayStation 4, but one that's lacking in other areas.
A bold and inventive new take on Metal Gear Solid that placates rather than fills the appetite. As billed, Ground Zeroes is merely a prologue to the true sequel, The Phantom Pain. Enjoyment will rely on expectations and on how invested you are in the overarching story of the various Snakes.
Yet another misstep for the Ninja Gaiden franchise. An attempt to offer something wholly different fails to pay off.
If the existence of a mobile Deus Ex game was not already enough of an insult to you, then this port is on hand to ensure a nice handful of salt is rubbed into the wounds.
Rambo: The Video Game gives you a war you won't believe. You won't have much fun, either.
A thick, slightly-lumpy slurry of action funnelled directly into your mouth. It's a bit rough around the edges, but ultimately succeeds at what it sets out to do.
Like all sequels, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 attempts to improve on the original in almost every area, but ultimately fails to do so. New ideas and mechanics are let down by sloppy execution.
There's so much going on in Titanfall it's hard to nail down the best part of it. Many games aren't as good as the sum of their parts, but Titanfall certainly is, and each section is good enough to stand up on its own.
The inevitable result of a collision between ambition and inexperience. Not recommended unless you feel that Terraria would have been improved by the addition of a cling-film-thick story, airship combat, and a heavy sprinkling of bugs.
Nintendo and Sega should really use these two mascots to do something more interesting together. There's a glimmer of fun here, and still hope for the series' future, as long as they leave badly implemented motion controls at the door next time.
Dragonfall is limited by the mediocre game it was an expansion of, but still manages to build a more interesting narrative with better characters. The overarching missions structure has improved, the way you complete these missions has become more varied. Dragonfall may wear the skin of Shadowrun Returns, but underneath it's a far superior game.
