    Pure Pool
    While Pure Pool is a great pool simulator, the problems I had left me feeling snookered. If those issues could be ironed out, and multiplayer fixed with a proper matchmaking tool, it would honestly be a solid title to spend some time with. For now though, I’ve just resorted to keeping it in windowed mode, taking my shots now and then between the other games I play.

    Surgeon Simulator: Anniversary Edition
    For newcomers, I’d highly recommend the madcap game, which is packed to the gills with extras and insane details resulting in grisly deaths on the operating table. For returning fans, it might be time to move on and leave poor Bob alone on the operating table.

    inFamous: First Light
    Infamous: First Light provides a bite-sized experience, a mere sliver of Second Son. It mirrors that games main themes and focuses on the best of its powers, but is let down a little by its bfrevity.

    Diablo III: Ultimate Evil Edition
    Diablo 3 may have been first on PC, but it is most definitely better on console.

    Hohokum
    It’s difficult to adequately explain or describe Hohokum. It’ll fill you with a child-like sense of wonderment with its abstract exploration, but as a game, its definitely a case of style over substance.

    CounterSpy
    While CounterSpy is an excellent game in theory, it simply falls short. Featuring some cool ideas, it is a rather quick indie stealth game that doesn't live up to expectations.

    Kim Kardashian: Hollywood
    If you’re a fan of Kim Kardashian, Hollywood, or any kind of tap-a-thon game, feel free to check it out. If not, you’ll find no real joy here.

    The Last of Us Remastered
    One of the games on the PlayStation is now one of the best games on the PlayStation 4.

    Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal: World Duel Carnival
    A sub-par experience with stripped down features, a complete lack of multiplayer and no noticeable improvement whatsoever.

    Crimsonland
    While it makes an excellent party game, I’m not sure that I see Crimsonland having much longevity beyond that. It will definitely come out from time to time when I want to coordinate with friends or family to kill all the things, but it’s not particularly memorable as more than a retro action shooter brought back to life on PS4.

    Tomodachi Life
    Tomodachi Life is by far the weirdest game that I’ve ever engaged in. And much like my Miis, the experience has been completely unique.

    Pixel Boy
    At $10, Pixel Boy is really asking a lot from you for what it gives in return. It’s not boring; it’s just too unbalanced to be as addictive or engaging as intended.

    Sniper Elite III
    There’s also a co-op mode by the name of Overwatch, which allows one player to spot target for the other and works well over the larger maps. It’s just a pity that there are only two such maps available, resulting in a tight-fisted experience.

    Company of Heroes 2: The Western Front Armies
    There is no doubt that this expansion offers some great value to newcomers, offering them the whole Company of Heroes 2 multiplayer component for as little as $12.99. For those who already own the game, the new factions and maps will offer differentiation, but not a great deal of value.

    Valiant Hearts: The Great War
    Valiant Hearts is a good game offering an emotionally satisfying experience. With about six hours of gameplay (depending on puzzling speed) it has solid value. As humans, we should all play this, even though it's not the best gaming has to offer.

    EA Sports UFC
    Fans of the brutal sport will find a decent and enjoyable game if they look hard enough. An excellent stand-up game is marred by a weak ground game. There's little little of substance beyond the polish, leaving THQ's UFC 3 as an undisputedly better game.

    Call of Duty: Ghosts - Invasion
    Some good levels mixed with an average one and one that's a copy and paste level. Simply not worth the money.

    WildStar
    If you've never tried an MMO, Wildstar may be the game to get its hooks in to you. If you're a veteran, I have a strong feeling that you will like what is on offer.

    PlayStation Vita Pets
    PlayStation Vita Pets does an admirable job of trying something new, but unfortunately the slow pace of the adventure mode acts as a counteragent to its good ideas.

    Soul Sacrifice Delta
    This updated version unfortunately doesn’t do enough to set itself apart from the original but if you’ve never played the original before I highly recommend you pick this game up and prepare to sacrifice your time with this addictive game.

    Wolfenstein: The New Order
    It may have a few inconsistencies that can otherwise hamper the fine action in front of you, but this is the Wolfenstein return that for the most part, manages to mix deliciously old-school violence with a new generation of visuals and storytelling.

    Watch Dogs
    Its shallow narrative and bland protagonist detract, but those looking for a finely-crafted open world game that eschews parody and satire for an overall darker tone will have a great time in Watch Dogs' digital Chicago.

    Transistor
    The experience of Transistor is lush and enjoyable. It is a beautiful game with some truly excellent mechanics. Unfortunately, its story and lack of character development through gameplay brings the rest of the game down - but not by much.

    Mario Kart 8
    What it lacks in raw innovation it more than makes up for in pure joy. Mario Kart 8's bare-bones presentation is offset by its solid core racing, and is an essential purchase for every Wii U owner who appreciates fun.

    Octodad: Dadliest Catch
    Originally and stupidly funny, with plenty of charm wrapped up in a package that is a bit too short.

    Final Fantasy XIV Online: A Realm Reborn
    FFXIV: A Realm Reborn is truly a new and improved MMORPG. It takes all the best features from MMOs and Final Fantasy games and combines them in this fantastic package. The PS4 is its ideal platform - this is the Final Fantasy game that I've been waiting for.

    The Amazing Spider-Man 2
    You don’t need a Spider-sense to realise that a game with various audio glitches, gameplay crashes and overall sloppy design might not be worth your time or effort, as this Spider-Man isn’t the hero that fans need or deserve.

    Daylight
    It's just let down by the repetitiveness and enemies that soon reveal themselves to be nothing more than a nuisance. Ultimately, the biggest shock Daylight gave me was the realisation that I was out to collect stuff instead of surviving the horrors around me. Don't say you weren't warned.

    Trials Fusion
    Trials veterans will feel right at home with this latest instalment in the franchise, but they won’t be able to shake off that nagging feeling that something is missing, despite the new tricks on offer. Newcomers, prepare to fail again and again as you find yourself addicted to a deceptively simply formula.

    Child of Light
    Child of Light's water-colour fantasy is beautiful to behold - but it's the constantly rewarding, explorative gameplay that's keeps it enchanting.
