Hitman: Absolution
So, Hitman: Absolution then. IO would maintain until the day they die at the hands of a hitman that it’s a game full of choices. On one level that’s true, but if some choices are really choices that no sane person (or someone wanting to do things ‘properly’) then is...
F1 Race Stars
F1 Race Stars isn’t going to set you back a great deal of cash. The game retails at £29.99 on release, meaning this is a worthwhile investment as we head into the Christmas holiday. Codemasters has produced a remarkably upbeat karting title that puts the feel-good into a license that...
Football Manager 2013
Anyway, there’s next year for that. For 2013, there’s more than enough to keep fans happy, and while it sometimes seems worth it to skip the latest version of Football Manager, the overhauled multiplayer and game mode variation makes this an essential purchase as ever.
Ravaged
Right now the small player population is seriously harming what makes Ravaged stand out, but even when you do end up in a big battle on a fresh map, its best attributes are lost underneath layers of niggling issues that just prevent it from being an enjoyable experience. It’s a...
Assassin's Creed II
A conglomeration of small advancements that deliver on Ubisoft’s initial AC vision.
XCOM: Enemy Unknown
XCOM has a knack for sinking its alien fangs into you and never letting you go, inducing many a sleepless nights wanting to do one more mission. The fact that there’s apparently DLC for this game means that, hopefully, it will just get better as time goes on. There’s hidden...
Dishonored
The plot may be straightforward but the level of detail in the world could inspire countless fan fiction stories. Some choices may not have the consequences you’d demand from Deus Ex or The Witcher but the vast majority do and they’ll blow your mind – you remember that side-quest I...
Torchlight II
Torchlight II is addictive, imagination-fuelled goodness. It never gets boring and its “just five more minutes” value is second to none. It may not have an engaging story but I don’t think anyone twatting a zombie pirate called ‘One-Eyed Willy’ with a giant wrench will miss it. At its price...
F1 2012
Such thoughts may be wishful thinking. Codemasters has a duty to slowly improve its racing franchise. When out on the track, this is the best F1 simulation of the generation. It offers a real challenge for players of all levels. Unfortunately, a lack of new ideas hinders the rest of...
Borderlands 2
Say what you want about the original Borderlands, it sold enough to bring us another one – for the most part the second game has fixed or improved the things about the original game that let it down. Beyond that though, this is one funny, entertaining game that should hopefully...
