Dead Space 3
Creeping along a creaky, decaying corridor in near-darkness, surveying the walls for the slightest flicker of a shadow, listening intently for suspicious noises... That's what made Dead Space such a fine entry in the survival horror series upon its release in 2008, but it's something that seems to be sorely...
DmC: Devil May Cry
“Not in a million years!” That's a sentiment that Devil May Cry fans might have cried out when news reached their ears that Ninja Theory had taken over their beloved franchise for a reboot at the behest of Capcom. In DmC, it's a cheeky dig at those very fans and...
Anarchy Reigns
Be warned: Anarchy Reigns possesses none of the grace and elegance of Platinum Games' Bayonetta. Nor is it as compulsive and effortlessly gratifying. What it does have is a range of brawlers tearing strips off one another, pounding heads into the ground, stomping and grinding their faces into the asphalt....
F1 Race Stars
Formula One is a pretty serious sport, so the cartoon stylings of F1 Race Stars is something that's surprisingly out of the ordinary. And although the kart racing sub genre has taken a variety of shapes from the grandaddy of them all, Super Mario Kart and the excellent Crash Team...
Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit was a fantastic game. Tearing across the winding desert roads of Seacrest County was always an adrenaline-fuelled treat, and having races laid out for you at your fingertips made the whole thing straightforward, intuitive and low on frustration. Hot Pursuit is a tough act to...
Assassin's Creed III
“History is our playground”, Ubisoft has repeatedly claimed in the run up to Assassin's Creed III's launch, and if that is indeed the case then boy, is it one bloody big playground. Not only is there a lot of history to take in on this particular playground, but the game...
NBA 2K13
As sports franchises go, NBA 2K is utterly unchallenged, with EA giving up on its rival NBA Live series not once, but twice having once been the basketball game of choice, years ago. Year on year, NBA 2K builds upon increasingly accomplished foundations, growing into what has inarguably become the...
Resident Evil 6
There was a time when zombies were actually something of a novelty in games, and not the enemy of choice in practically every shooter ever made ever, ever. Ever. Resident Evil stood out as something distinctive and fresh back in 1996 when it was originally released, but Resident Evil 6...
Borderlands 2
It's been too long since we last visited Pandora, foraging for guns and loot. Almost three years in fact, and in that time we've found little to fill the void left by Borderlands, which brought its own inimitable brand of shoot 'n' loot action with a bazillion guns and a...
F1 2012
In the space of just two short seasons, Codemasters has almost already reached a pinnacle of quality with its F1 series, representing the sport with an almost unerring level of accuracy and attention to detail. With F1 2011 proving to be one of the finest Formula One games ever produced,...
NHL 13
Without a shadow of a doubt, the NHL series is the undisputed king of the ice, and has been for some time. Consequently, the competition has pretty much given up, leaving EA Sports lording it over its virtual representation of ice hockey, like Madden NFL is top of the food...
Never underestimate the power of nostalgia. It's the reason why we liked Transformers: War for Cybertron perhaps more than it deserved, although it was undoubtedly the best Transformers game since now defunct developer Melbourne House's effort back in 2004. Amid abhorrent Michael Bay movie tie-ins, War for Cybertron stood head...
