    BioShock Infinite: Burial at Sea - Episode Two
    Impressively crafted and polished, it's a fitting end to Irrational's body of work. The story of BioShock might belong to Ken Levine and Irrational Games rather than to its players - but it's a story that's been well worth telling.

    Ratchet & Clank
    It’s addictive, tells a good, amusing yarn, looks spectacular and is challenging without ever being annoying.

    The King of Fighters XIII
    As a lovingly crafted evolution to one of oldest and most respected fighting series in gaming, KOF 13 is - hands down - Playmore's greatest accomplishment in years.

    Donkey Kong Jungle Beat
    Becomes so compelling that you're rarely at a loss for motivation. If you're not simply revelling in the design or your own massive combos, you're hopelessly addicted to securing the requisite number of bananas and coming through unscathed against the boss.

    Cuboid
    It's a slight game, but a fiercely memorable one, and like all the best puzzlers, it flicks its players back and forth between two simple states: moments of rage when a level seems impossible, and that sudden rush of adrenaline when you finally beat it.
    • 85 Metascore

    The Rise of the Golden Idol
    A compelling modern mystery thriller that's bigger, better and more ambitious than its already brilliant predecessor.
    • 87 Metascore

    Titanium Court
    This genre blend revels in its own sense of imagination and excess.
    • 84 Metascore

    ENDER MAGNOLIA: Bloom in the Mist
    A soulful and gorgeous Metroidvania with exquisite hack and slash action.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Star Wars: The Old Republic
    BioWare has done what many thought might be impossible, and delivered the world's second ever triple-A MMO. That is a mighty achievement and a huge relief. But it may yet turn out to be too little - or rather, too much - too late.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Final Fantasy IV
    It's not the best Final fantasy game in the series - even with the new additions to what was already a strong classic JRPG, the inescapable confines of the structure make this literally a lesser game than many of the subsequent releases - but it's a respectful and assured update and that freshens an aged experience for a modern audience.

    Shadowrun: Dragonfall
    It's more professionally made and superior to the original campaign in every way, and likely to clock in at around 12-15 hours depending on difficulty settings: enough to tell its story, but not enough to outstay its welcome.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    I Am Your Beast
    I Am Your Beast is a sensationally rapid-fire action game in every sense, but there's also a surprisingly well-realised thread of narrative running through.

    LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga
    If you haven't played the other Lego SW titles, and you fancy a bit of straightforward, enjoyable platform action, this is an essential purchase. It's also great for younger gamers, especially if you like to play co-operatively. And the sharp, shiny, varied visuals make it one of the best-looking games on the Wii.

    Risk of Rain
    Any time Risk of Rain loses its sheen, you can always start again, with a new character.
    • 72 Metascore

    Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare - Havoc
    Havoc's a very decent package overall. As part one of the Season Pass, this is a strong chunk of content for the sharpest COD in years. It mixes fan service with proper map design, and gives those still addicted to that ADS snap more reason than ever to keeping plugging away towards that next prestige.

    Archer Maclean's Mercury
    I've had more fun playing Mercury than any other PSP game so far. It is my new "Zoo Keeper." That is all.

    Tales of Vesperia
    Namco is to be applauded for updating the series with no small amount of consideration and flair, an effort that has resulted in the strongest entry to the aging series yet, and one which makes up for its lack of polish with an abundance of detail, character and, dare I say it, soul.

    NHL 2K6
    When scoring a goal is as satisfying as getting that last-bullet headshot in Resi Evil 4 or nailing a perfect insane stunt in GTA, you know you're playing a great videogame, not just a great sports game.
    • 76 Metascore

    Shift Extended
    Shift: Extended also has one of those insidious background tunes that probably provide a soundtrack to your dreams for the next 17 years. Just don't play it on the train without headphones - you don't want innocent bystanders suffering the same fate.

    Far Cry 4
    Far Cry 4 is well worth a visit, but it's more a backpacker's delight than a five-star island paradise.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    FlatOut 2
    FlatOut 2 seems content to cement itself in the niche of Burnout's bratty redneck cousin, but it passes at least one basic quality test with flying colours: I couldn't help taking regular breaks during this review to creep back to the joypad for another go.

    Sid Meier's Civilization IV: Colonization
    Apart from mild annoyance at some automation hiccups (occasionally pioneers, ships, and wagon trains, seem to forget what they're supposed to be doing) and slight disappointment at the unit art (more could have been done to distinguish the four civs) I've been horribly content these last few days.

    Twin Blades
    The game hooks you by virtue of a well-judged difficulty curve allied to a drip-feed of upgrades.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Maximo vs Army of Zin
    For fans of the first game, Maximo Vs. Army of Zin is a must-have, and if you like platform games with a slant towards combat then this is also an ideal purchase.

    Burnout Revenge
    The real let down is the racing, in that it's simply not as much fun as it used to be, and as such Revenge can no longer be considered the best Burnout game. That's not to say it's "not fun", because we had a blast, but tasked with weighing it up against its predecessors, it's a slight backward step.

    Penny's Big Breakaway
    An ingenious combo-driven challenge that's speedy and fun.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Speedball 2 Evolution
    On balance, though, Jon Hare and co. have done a fine job in capturing the spittle-flecked fury of the Amiga original so successfully.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    State of Decay
    State of Decay is unrefined but never anything less than interesting. And in video games, interesting has never been at such a premium.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles
    For fans of twitch-gaming this surely ranks up there with the best that this anachronistic sub-genre has to offer.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Far Cry
    In the final analysis, it just maybe lacks the creative edge and imagination that would have catapulted it into classic territory. We just didn't really care about what we were fighting our way through.

    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
    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]

    Kirby and the Forgotten Land
    Kirby's long anticipated move to 3D platforming sees the series step up to a new level of invention and wonder. [Eurogamer Recommended]

    TT Isle of Man: Ride On The Edge
    A middling racer in a dreary package that contains one of the finest achievements in the racing genre in years. [Recommended]

    A beautifully structured, rich and thoughtful adventure with gentle but decisive RPG elements. [Eurogamer Essential]

    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]
