Revelations, even with all the minor problems, manages to be a very good game. I personally had more fun with it than I had with Resident Evil 5 and 6. The game’s story also manages to be entertaining all the way through, despite how obvious certain plot twists are. However...

Gravity Rush 2
PlayStation Vita has no problems running this title. Load screens between cutscenes can be a bit of a pain at times, but they happen quite far and few between given how often the player will be free-roaming. As a result, the art style is also top notch; it’s cell shaded...

When it comes to presentation, Battlefield 3 is no pushover as the graphics are spot on, bringing a lush variety of colour and light to the warzone that really helps set the atmosphere. I can tell you that even on the console editions, the game looks gorgeous. While it’s easy...
