    Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories
    A lack of flourish and invention, along with a tired set of on-foot mechanics, rob it of a higher mark - but too much stands in its favour not to recommend it.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Burnout Dominator
    Burnout: Dominator is a perfectly functional stopgap, and Criterion has stayed absolutely true to its game's ethos. This is about as basic a game it could produce that would still retain the series' impressive reputation.

    TRON: Catalyst
    A smart and inventive RPG-lite, and a worthy entry in the TRON canon.

    Time Crisis 3
    If you fancy some utterly ridiculous, relentless twitch gaming action, full of drama, evil henchmen and a posse of minions to pump full of lead, then Time Crisis 3 stands as an essential purchase.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Call of Duty: Black Ops
    The campaign is relentlessly aggressive and spectacular – a Jerry Bruckheimer tribute act stuck in permanent encore – while the multiplayer modes are a mixture of smart tweaks to working formulas, as focused on protecting that guaranteed bottom line as the campaign's yellow objective cursor is on making sure you never falter.
    • 78 Metascore

    Dune: Awakening
    Dune: Awakening is a harsh survival game, an intriguing RPG, and a fierce open world PvP game all in one. Somehow, it pulls it off.

    Max and the Magic Marker for iPad
    If you've somehow held off getting this so far, now is definitely the time to enjoy one of the most creative and engaging indie platformers around.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    King's Bounty: Armored Princess
    If you're going to play a King's Bounty game for the first time, make it The Legend - and I'd say that whether or not it was available so cheaply. If you're all done with that and crave more, then Armored Princess will not do you wrong.

    Burnout 2: Point of Impact
    Any game that has you physically dodging oncoming cars from your television is no ordinary game.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Atelier Iris: Eternal Mana
    This is a quintessentially Japanese videogame reminiscent of classic 16-bit titles such as Secret of Mana and Chrono Trigger, albeit married to a Nippon Ichi-style fanaticism for detail and Pokemon's kleptomaniacal Gotta Catch ‘Em All mechanic.

    Wii Sports
    Brilliantly embodies the Wii's dramatic premise: that this kind of control can appeal to people who don't play games and people who used to play games as well as people who've been playing them for as long as we have.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Dream Track Nation
    It's hardly lacking in content either, despite the impulse price, with 60 levels as well as Wi-Fi multiplayer, a track editor for the creatively minded and a soothing massage thrown in free of charge when you're done.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Mario Golf: Advance Tour
    It's the quirky, totally un-golf-ish tasks that give the thing depth.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Synapse
    Limited enemies and environments don't hamper some of the best VR blasting out there.
    • 79 Metascore

    Zombie Gunship
    Limbic's stylish shift in approach makes a substantial difference, and any indifference is swiftly swept away as you attempt to cut a swathe through the undead hordes from the air.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords
    It has excellent local wireless multiplayer.
    • 83 Metascore

    Professor Layton and the Last Specter
    If you live in actual London, however, your cartridge doesn't come with London Life. Japan, North America, and Australia get this rather huge bonus; the U.K. and the rest of Europe don't. It's the kind of tedious, infuriating localisation strategy that Nintendo still holds over from the 8-bit era, when it was possible to keep people on distant shores from knowing they were getting the short end of the stick.
    • 60 Metascore

    Dynasty Warriors: Gundam
    Never boring and always thrilling. It's a brilliant combination of two massively popular brands and a clever blend of subtle strategy and bombastic button-bashing.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Thirsty Suitors
    Outerloop recreates the messy dating world with an also messy, and sometimes brilliant, genre mash-up.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Football Manager Live
    Sports Interactive has massive experience in creating single-player management games, but this is the developer's first stab at an MMO - and for the most part, it's a genuine success. While it never quite scales the heady heights of the single-player games, it's still an experience that every Football Manager fan should try, while budding managers intimidated by the demands of Football Manager 2009 are likely to find this a much more enjoyable and accessible entry point to the world of management.

    Super Paper Mario
    It uses the Wii tech so cleverly, remembering that simple is best, but letting it play in a way impossible on any other console. It's non-stop hilarious, and utterly adorable. If only it had been more inventive with the 3D potential, it would have been a stand-out classic.
    • 78 Metascore

    League of Legends
    More time, heart and money has gone into this than any other free game I can remember playing, and I think Riot Games is going to make good on its promise of post-release development. Until further notice, this is the DOTA game you should be playing.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    DOOM: The Dark Ages
    Here's a more grounded Doom, but one that's as brisk and playful as ever.
    • 90 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4
    Powerful rather than perfect, then, Persona 4's a status ailment rather than a killing blow - it's not going to bowl you over with one strike, but it will quietly gnaw away at you until you succumb.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Trine
    Trine is simply an unpretentious and effortlessly lovely adventure, if never quite special enough to nudge into the echelons of 9/10 and above. Immediately likeable, hugely enjoyable and brimming with charming detail every step of the way, your enjoyment may depend on how many friends you can share the journey with, but few would regret time spent in the company of this trio.

    Caravan SandWitch
    Since I finished Caravan SandWitch a few days back, more than anything I've been eager to go back to it. This gently playful world may actually be at its best when you're doing not much of anything. Take the van for a coast over the dunes. Pick through a robot graveyard that always looked interesting. Open out the last areas of the map that you've already cleared by unjamming radar signals and already picked free of most in-game doodads. There's a sense of adventure here that runs so deep it must emerge from the land itself.

    Lost Odyssey
    if you've got the patience to sit through its slow build up, and if you're open-minded enough to allow it to transport you, then it will take you to places that other JRPGs haven't even dreamed of visiting.
    • 81 Metascore

    Super Scribblenauts
    5th Cell's puzzler was always astonishing, then, but now it's enjoyable to play, too. That's nice.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    EA Sports Active 2
    Active 2 on Wii is a confident addition to the best fitness series on any platform, and the new features strengthen the offering - if not revolutionising it as EA would have us believe.

    Battletoads is short. Really short. TOO short.

    Everybody's Golf
    A vibrant interpretation of golf that expands on the series' distinguished lineage without compromising, or distracting from, its strengths. [Recommended]

    Dead Island 2
    If you've somehow yet to play an undead-themed action-RPG or you have an appropriately on-brand mindless hunger for the subgenre, Dead Island 2 might be worth your while. It's certainly got the zombie disassembly part down pat. If you are neither of those things, all the sturdy design and flying organs in the world can't hide the shortage of lingering excitement here. Dead Island 2 isn't a bad game, but it does feel superfluous, which is a sad thing to conclude about a project that's been in development for almost a decade. Still, at least they spared us the zombie booby merchandise this time.

    Little Nightmares II
    Tarsier returns with another slice of horror that's just about glorious enough to make up for the frustrations. [Eurogamer Recommended]

    Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Wildlands
    Wildlands is an environment worth lingering over, but the mechanics and themes it propagates are wearing extremely thin.

    Norco is a beautiful, surprising, human, and utterly magnetic debut. [Eurogamer Recommended]

    We Are OFK
    The biggest success of the game, though, is its sense of authenticity. The LGBT+ representation is excellent, with diverse characters normalising queer relationships. The developer's devotion to authentic twentysomething reference points is commendable. And where so many music stories push songwriting and acoustic instruments as more "authentic" than manufactured pop, here the secret to success is simple: just be yourself.

    The Wonderful 101: Remastered
    It's too anarchic, too messy and too unreadable in its combat, as well as too erratic in its execution. But then it's that anarchy that's key to The Wonderful 101's charm, and that runs through so much of the work of Hideki Kamiya. The Wonderful 101 is Platinum at its most imperfect, but I don't necessarily mean that as a slight. There's a real thrill to be found in all that chaos. [Eurogamer Recommended]

    Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age
    A sumptuous, generous and absolutely gorgeous RPG that isn't quite the measure of Dragon Quest's illustrious past.

    Pokemon: Let's Go, Eevee!
    Pokémon's Switch debut deftly toes the line between returning fans and all-new ones, with a few small wobbles along the way. [Eurogamer Recommended]

    A middling racer in a dreary package that contains one of the finest achievements in the racing genre in years. [Recommended]

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge
    So yes, Turtles single-player has been an absolute delight. I can't wait for my first six-player match.

    Metal Gear's first post-Kojima outing plays fast and loose with the formula, with results that are equal parts brilliant and baffling.

    All Walls Must Fall
    Witty and wonderfully scrappy, turn-based combat has never looked quite like this before. [Recommended]
