    ZombiU
    It is unforgiving and brutal, but in the best of ways that challenges players to carefully consider each step. For those who don't shy away from a challenge, ZombiU may just be the best reason to own a Wii U at launch.

    Deep Dungeons of Doom
    Each dungeon has its own theme and unique enemies, but once you learn the enemy patterns there is little incentive to go back through one you've already completed. Even the infinite dungeon recycles enemies from the rest of the game, making Deep Dungeons of Doom a fleeting but fun mobile adventure.

    Hue
    Very few puzzle games are both challenging and fun, and deliver a heartwarming storyline, but Hue has done it.

    Tales of Graces f
    Tales of Graces f is a tale worth telling and a game well worth playing.
    • 77 Metascore

    Just Dance 4
    Just Dance 4 is less of a sequel and more of an annual update, tinkering and tweaking with existing game modes in order to please its fanbase. Even so, an excellent soundtrack coupled with alternative routines, mashups and dance battles ensures that Ubisoft's latest continues to provide hours of entertainment.

    Peggle 2
    Though not as experimental or revolutionary as we would have liked, Peggle 2 is as bright, bouncy and brilliant as ever, delivering the same addictive action as its predecessor.

    New Super Luigi U
    New Super Luigi U doesn't necessarily improve on New Super Mario Bros. U, and we wouldn't recommend it for those who didn't get on with the original. As an expansion for a Wii U launch game that might be gathering dust, however, New Super Luigi U introduces lots of wonderful levels and an increased challenge.

    Republique: Episode 1 - Exordium
    Republique's first episode is a strong, if somewhat short, introduction to the stealth series that holds a lot of promise, but could still use some refinement before the second episode arrives.

    Tiger Woods PGA Tour 13
    Remains the definitive video game golfing experience.
    • 77 Metascore

    Volgarr the Viking
    Volgarr the Viking feels like the perfect action game, or at least as close to perfection for a side-scrolling action game as there has ever been.
    • 76 Metascore

    Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet
    The stylish visuals compliment the well-executed action, resulting in a game that resembles past SOA favorites Limbo and Shadow Complex.

    Crysis 3
    Crysis 3 is one of those games that could have pulled in full marks if only a bit more time was devoted to development and testing...The bugs and design mishaps that have got through do not completely ruin the experience, but they take the shine off what could have been a truly brilliant game.

    Toki Tori 2 +
    Toki Tori 2+ joins Fez as part of a new breed of exploration-based puzzle games.

    Combo Crew
    Combo Crew is a fun brawler with plenty of content for players to dive into, but all of that content doesn't mean much after a while as it all starts to blend together.

    D4: Dark Dreams Don't Die
    D4: Dark Dreams Don't Die may just be the beginning, but it is easily one of the most delightfully bizarre trips of the year. It won't always make sense, but there is a consistent earnestness to its oddity that somehow makes it all work in harmony of '80s saxophone riffs and overly-affected Boston accents.

    Destiny
    Based on my time with the game so far, I would certainly recommend making a date with Destiny.

    Ms. Splosion Man
    Ms Splosion Man is as faithful a port as you can get, right down to the heroine's chipper pop culture references and hilarious cutscenes. It isn't perfect though, due mostly to the unavoidable limitations of the touch screen.

    LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7
    Neither the combat, the puzzle solving or the presentation is overly brilliant on its own, but put it all together and you have a winning package that perfectly suits its target audience.

    The Sailor's Dream
    But when it comes to the story itself, there is a nagging sense that either a piece of the puzzle is missing or perhaps that the puzzle just wasn't as interesting as it first seemed.

    Spec Ops: The Line
    Spec Ops: The Line lacks innovation or polish in its gameplay, but makes up for it with a story that genuinely has impact and meaning. Whilst the ending is a bit limp, the overall narrative raises serious questions about the duty of a soldier, and how far that goes. Whilst the multiplayer does not quite hit the same heights, this is still a shooter that stands on its own and is not afraid to show the ugly side of the Call of Duty dream.

    Third Eye Crime: Act 1
    So while Third Eye Crime is certainly worth a download for curious fans of stealth games, that worth is also dependent on your willingness to pay a little bit more than the sticker price in order to get the full experience.

    Shadows of the Damned
    Not as scary as the likes of Silent Hill or Resident Evil, not as funny as No More Heroes and not as original as Killer7, leaving it stuck in video game limbo.

    Writer Rumble
    Once you start an online match everything runs fine, but the initial connection often takes longer to establish than the match takes to play. Connection issues aside, for speedy wordsmiths Writer Rumble is an excellent find while those with slower fingers will want to steer clear for something more turn-based.

    Tales of Kenzera: ZAU
    Tales of Kenzera: Zau is a stunning, impactful and exciting first outing for Surgent Studios and, for us, a classic in the Metroidvania space that could go toe-to-toe with recent big hitters like Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown and Blasphemous 2. Surgent Studios has delivered a beautiful story that resonated with us as we explored the world of Kenzera, and we couldn’t recommend it more highly.

    Saints Row IV
    Saints Row 4 may not be perfect, but it will, at least, be remembered for its brazen video game parodies, over-the-top set pieces and outrageous weaponry, rather than being a poor man's GTA. This, in itself, is a certifiable step in the right direction.

    Eufloria
    If you have the time to spare though, Eufloria is a beautiful and entrancing addition to the iOS library.

    • 60 Critic Score
    Agent Dash
    The game isn't quite as pick-up-and-play friendly as Temple Run, requiring more finger agility due to the constant switching between lanes, but once you get started it can be just as difficult to put down.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Call of Juarez: Gunslinger
    Call of Juarez: Gunslinger may be the most genuine take on an interactive Western yet, and that's including a certain color of dead redemption.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Star Command
    FTL did the punishingly difficulty space-faring genre better last year, but for that type of experience on the go Star Command is your best bet.

    • 80 Critic Score
    Dead Island 2
    Dead Island 2 is a concentrated dose of zombie-slaying fun. It’s a marvel to see it released at all after its tumultuous development, but Dambuster Studios has managed to more than deliver on its promise of a slasher that takes everything the original Dead Island set out as a blueprint and expand on it in an interesting way. It’s not perfect and won’t change the gaming landscape, but you’ll certainly have a blast ripping and tearing your way through sun-drenched Hell-A with more than a few surprises along the way.
