    Resistance: Burning Skies
    Resistance: Burning Skies can be linear and its mission objectives predictable, but it has the look and feel of a fully-fledged shooter, and that's something you won't find elsewhere. The visuals look almost on par with its PS3 forebears on the smaller screen and the gameplay endeavours match them in scope and intensity. In theory, it should be a classic, but a weak story and straightforward missions makes it only surface-deep.

    Okabu
    It's innovative and fun, yet never feels preachy despite the underlying message it's attempting to convey. Gameplay defects do spoil the party somewhat, especially when playing on your own, but parents seeking a good wholesome game on the PlayStation Network for their children can't go far wrong with this.

    Farming Simulator 2012
    Farming Simulator 2012 provides a slower pace to gameplay, but the controls make it more frustrating than relaxing.

    Disney Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two
    Despite the best efforts of all involved to try to avoid the pitfalls of the original, Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two still is still guilty of some of the offences of old, but it's as stylish and creative a platformer as you are ever likely play. Nobody can fault the developers for their ambition, and it's abundantly clear everyone on board had love and respect for the source material. Perhaps the third time around they'll perfect the formula.

    After Burner Climax
    The controls can be rather twitchy, as aiming feels far too fast at times, but that is actually fairly accurate to the original feel of the game.

    F1 2011
    Sumo Digital should be commended for its attempts to pack as much as humanely possible into a Nintendo 3DS game. However, despite its wealth of options, game modes and extras, F1 2011 fails where it counts most, on the race track.

    AVP: Evolution
    Even when everything does work properly, which is rare, AVP: Evolution is little more than a straightforward brawler. The movie license is about all it has going for it, and it uses that license poorly.

    Defiance
    The potential is there for Defiance to be more than a half-decent console MMO marred by technical problems.

    Ultima Forever: Quest for the Avatar
    Ultima Forever: Quest for the Avatar shows promise in its expansive world and character progression, but a pay-to-win economy and connection problems keep this from being the return to Britannia fans have been hoping for.

    Heroes of Dragon Age
    With the game's focus so squarely on collecting character figurines, Heroes of Dragon Age will only really appeal to fans of the series. And once you get going, collecting and leveling up your figurines can become quite addicting. But Dragon Age fans should set their expectations accordingly before playing, because there is still a long wait until the next proper game in the series.

    Murdered: Soul Suspect
    Murdered: Soul Suspect is a game full of missed opportunities. The concept is great and some of the ideas are clever, but it doesn't use them in an interesting or satisfying way.

    Transformers: Dark of the Moon
    A frustrating and unremarkable video game experience. The game never really goes above and beyond the call of duty, offering only mildly attractive locations, bog-standard third-person gameplay and a relatively insignificant plot.

    Silent Hill: Book of Memories
    Silent Hill: Book of Memories fails miserably at capturing the core attributes of its series predecessors, namely the effective psychological horror and captivating storylines. It doesn't exactly excel as an original dungeon-crawler either, bogged down by repetitive gameplay and generic mechanics. This is one book you will be able to put down.

    Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash
    Like a rookie player with bags of potential, Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash has that raw ability, but it lacks the finesse to be a champion.

    Iron Man 3 - The Official Game
    Iron Man 3 is a decent enough infinite runner, though slow progression holds it back. Comic fans will still get plenty of fun out of it though, with boss battles against classic villains like the Crimson Dynamo and even M.O.D.O.K. in daily challenges to keep players coming back.

    After Earth
    After Earth is par for the course as far as auto-runner games are concerned. It makes a few additions to the basic formula, but those additions either make little impact or don't always work the way they are intended.

    Jet Set Radio
    Jet Set Radio is a beloved classic, but the iOS version does not do it justice. It is an impressive technical feat that the game can even run on iOS, but that novelty quickly wears off once you actually hop into a level and attempt to skate around.

    ReCore
    Like a robot that's been cobbled together from spare parts, ReCore has a complicated identity. It's often a platformer and a third-person shooter, but it sometimes feels like a shoot 'em up or a character action game, and it's all underpinned by RPG systems...Because of this muddled personality, it never fully delivers on anything, leaving us with an enjoyable experience, albeit one with a few issues at its core.

    Marvel Heroes
    Marvel Heroes won't win any prizes for originality, but it is an extremely fun game in its own right that makes effective use of the license at its disposal, and it's always refreshing to encounter a free-to-play title that is intended to be precisely that.

    Game of Thrones
    The Game of Thrones video game takes a while to get going, but perseverance is rewarded with an engaging story full of tough choices and interesting dilemmas. Unfortunately, the plot is let down by poor storytelling, sloppy visuals and mediocre gameplay, despite a relatively deep combat system.

    Rabbids: Alive & Kicking
    Features more highlights than low points, which makes it a worthy mini-game compilation for those looking to party with Kinect.

    Guardian Cross
    The whole game is tied together with a surprisingly lengthy story and the high production value art expected of a Square Enix game. And once players get the hang of the story, a challenge coliseum lets you put your deck against other real players for item rewards and competition for a top spot on the leaderboards.

    Warhammer 40,000: Storm of Vengeance
    Warhammer 40,000: Storm of Vengeance is a decent start to a strategy game, but it is in desperate need of unit variety to force players into thinking up new ways to approach each encounter.

    Mario Party: Island Tour
    Ultimately, however, it feels like going on an island tour in a hot and cramped bus that's traveling at 10mph. There are things to see and fun to be had, but only if you're prepared to wait for it.

    Where's My Water? 2
    With the game constantly forcing you to stop playing, eventually you'll find that it isn't even worth coming back to anymore. No matter how fun the puzzles may be, they're only fun so long as you can play them, and Where's My Water? 2 makes every effort to avoid being played.

    Michael Jackson The Experience HD
    Could have been a thriller if there was more content for players to sink their teeth into. The gameplay hits all of the right notes, and is enjoyable enough to whisk you away, but you'll come crashing back down to reality once the playlist has run dry.

    Fightback
    Fightback is one of the few brawlers that really takes advantage of touch controls for a unique and satisfying combat system.

    Little Deviants
    It feels like a string of vaguely amusing tech demos rather than a game in its own right, and even in this regard it fails to captivate for any length of time.

    WWE 2K15
    WWE 2K15 is the equivalent of an upper mid-card wrestler attempting to crack the glass ceiling of the WWE. It's close to achieving its potential, but just comes up short in a few key areas.

    Inversion
    Overall, Inversion is a game that feels instantly familiar, and not in a good way. The game lifts heavily from more illustrious sources, while its own unique selling point, gravity powers, never feels fully exploited. But equally, the game is a solid and reasonably well-produced shooter that is fun to play, particularly with other people. As long as you don't expect a revolution, you will have a good time battling this particular alien invasion.
