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.

Worms Battlegrounds continues to impress in multiplayer, offering more of the same team-based battles and outrageous weapons. But it's not the most unique or exciting Worms release, and you'd be hard pressed to pick it out of a lineup

For the right audience, perhaps one with a history of ballet training, Bounden may very well be the best dancing game experience of their lives. However, poor design choices make most of the game's dances feel inaccessible, with frustrations that far overpower Bounden's brighter moments, making it more likely to start a fight than a friendship.

Lemmings Touch stays true to its roots and is a great fit for the PlayStation Vita, lending it enough charm and appeal to strike a chord with long-time fans and newcomers alike.

After an opening act bogged down by tutorials and dodgily scripted story sequences, Watch Dogs removes the shackles, takes some chances and begins to live up to its own hype...Despite its pacing issues, Watch Dogs manages to tell a worthwhile story that's backed up by some novel new ideas in both single and multiplayer.

Amazing Spider-Man 2 does little to dispel the negative reputation that licensed video games have garnered over the years, coming across like a project that was kicked out of the studio doors to coincide with the movie's release.

It isn't a bad story, with plenty of intrigue from its setting and characters. The issue comes in when it tries to take a leap into the realm of allegory, where it never ties itself together thematically in a satisfying way. In that way, Transistor is like a virtual croissant. It is layered and delicious, but there is a lingering airy emptiness to it that makes it hard to fill up on just one.

Wolfenstein: The New Order is not the most sophisticated of games and it's certainly not perfect, but it wears its silly plot and over-the-top action like a badge of honor, and for that we applaud it.

Mario Kart 8 is a conservative update, choosing to polish and refine rather than reinvent, but it's still as alluring a racer as it ever has been.

Broken Sword 5: The Serpent's Curse, Part 2 is another admirable attempt at recapturing everything that was great about the adventure series, complete with more improved puzzles and new exotic locations to visit.

Republique Episode 2: Metamorphosis builds on the first episode's foundation for a stronger experience in every respect, with a story build up that is poised to make the wait for episode three feel even longer.

The compromised controls don't ruin what is still a fun game to this day, but the lack of precision certainly makes it feel like an inferior port if you have the option to get it on PS3, Vita or PC.

What at first appears to just be a simple score attack game of frantic tapping evolves with you the more you play it, making for an experience that could very well be prohibitively difficult to many players but rewards those who put in the time for their effort.

Wayward Souls is an intense challenge, but that only makes the feeling of reward all the greater when you finally succeed, and unlock the next multi-floor deathtrap to explore.

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.

Leo's Fortune is a fun ride while it lasts though, filled with clever physics puzzles and unconventional controls.

It is a blending of genre and style that is an unexpected treat, and already one of the year's role-playing game highlights.

It's a blast, no matter how easy. Kirby Triple Deluxe, like its namesake, has the fine-tuned ability to suck you right in, no matter who you are.

As a Nintendo game, Mario Golf: World Tour feels uncharacteristically clunky. When the tense thrill of the course takes you, it's a great experience that packs a lot of potential depth, but with confused structures and systems, it takes patience to see the best World Tour has to offer.

2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil doesn't have the depth of an annual release, lacking the online modes that have made recent FIFA games so enormously popular and featuring slightly simplified gameplay.

Hearthstone's main drawback is a matchmaking system that can often put new players in matches out of their depth, along with a few stability and framerate hiccups that pop up in the iPad port.

The game's drawn-out progression could be attributed to it being a free-to-play game, as a way of encouraging player to dip into their wallets and speed up the process. But Mobfish Hunter's monotony lacks the unique hook necessary to catch players for the long haul.

Hitman GO is far cleverer than it has any right to be, putting a refreshingly unconventional spin on the stealth genre.

Monument Valley's absolutely stunning visual style and clever level manipulation make it a fantastic mobile experience. The only shortcoming is that you will wish there was more of it.

RollerCoaster Tycoon 4 Mobile employs business practices that would come across as underhanded even in a free-to-play game. The fact that Atari expects players to pay up front for it is shameful.

SideSwype is a much-welcomed new perspective on a style of game that has quickly become over-saturated in the app store with me-too copycats.

Trials Fusion may not make as far of an evolutionary leap forward as its predecessor, but that doesn't make it any less worthy a successor to the Trials name.

Football Manager Classic 2014 represents a step forward for football management simulations for handhelds, yet the Vita doesn't quite feel like the optimum platform for it.
