Football Manager 2012
The key question is this. Do you like Football Manager? Then you’ve already got this on pre-order. There’s not much more to say and if you don’t have it queued in your shopping basket, get it now. The best FM by far - the definitive football management simulator. Want to...
Batman: Arkham City
Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ve spent far too long writing about Arkham City, I’m going back in to finish The Riddler’s riddles off once and for all. Then play the whole thing again.
Worms: Ultimate Mayhem
Referring back to my opening question, that lack of new ideas is certainly having a negative impact on the series. This package feels like it’s been thrown together to make a quick buck, and despite having so much content, it’s ultimately lazy work. That said, it’s immensely fun to come...
Assault Horizon is likely to be divisive among series fans. But whatever your opinion on its new direction it’s unreasonable to call it a bad game. In fact it’s still quite the opposite. What it loses in realism it makes up for with variety and a strong presentation.
I can see why – massive cutscenes with all-new voice and that new area won’t be small – but this being a disc release makes it seem like something more than what it is – an incremental upgrade to Dead Rising 2. It’s still great fun, but just be aware...
Rage
That being said, there’s no denying that the combat elements are right up our street, and this gives us great hope that the upcoming Doom 4 will be an absolute blinder. For now, Rage is id Software’s venture in the realm of role-playing - and now we’d rather it goes...
FIFA 14
So it’s still a great game should you love it and get on with the new system, a terrible one should you not. And as mentioned, you can put the old system back on, but why buy a new game if you want to play the old one? So do...
F1 2011
F1 2011 is very much a Codemasters racer, technically brilliant but tonally just a bit off. Their games tend to be either po-faced and bland or in-your-face and kitsch. F1 2011 errs perhaps too far on the side of the former, though ironically the game really shines when the raindrops...
Renegade Ops
Must-buy though? Now there’s the question. The demo’s out so you’re free to try it, and things don’t really change that much over the nine levels so you’ll know if it’s a game for you. If you like crazy shooters and have a friend on standby to play with I...
Resident Evil 4
Experiencing Resident 4 HD, everything is as it ever was. The visual upgrade is well received, and the game’s narrative is as terrifying and enticing as ever. Capcom have played this one safe, as it would have been nice to see them try and mix things up with a new...
The Baconing
The Baconing likes to poke fun at itself- the tedious nature of its fetch quests, the ease with which Spank can be resuscitated at an outhouse- but this just highlights its flaws and doesn’t justify their existence. Any developer who is intelligent enough to recognise the stagnant conventions of the...
