    4x4 Evolution
    It has jaw-dropping graphics, gripping gameplay and if it weren’t for the stodgy AI and lack of damage skins on vehicles, the game would be untouchable.

    Call of Duty
    Where I fell out with CoD was the fact that however many cool things I could think of, it was all too easy to peel away the layers of glitz and gloss and come up with frustratingly long list of inconsistencies, flaws and slightly irksome design decisions that remind you that there's plenty of work to be done before the definitive World War II shooter gets made.

    Plants vs Zombies 2: It's About Time
    In keeping with its horticultural theme, Plants vs. Zombies 2 has deep roots and many branches, and it bears fruit in a game that feels at once familiar and refreshing.

    SingStar (2008)
    SingStore and My SingStar are brilliant additions which significantly change the SingStar experience.

    English Country Tune
    Where ilomilo felt like it was created by rosy-cheeked elves beckoning you to snuggle up to it with a warm blanket and hot cup of cocoa, English Country Tune is more akin to Futurama's smarmy Professor Wernstrom. Rather than being off-putting, its priggish demeanor motivates you to rise to the occasion and show it up. As creative as it is maddening, English Country Tune is an acquired taste.

    Warhawk
    Incognito has taken the DNA of Battlefield and crafted a sublime online console game - a virtual battlezone that serves up more than its fair share of wonderful audio-visuals, but more than that, plays beautifully, with every game you play supplying a key gameplay moment that only online gaming provides.
    • 85 Metascore

    SWAT 4
    Despite the Good Cop trappings, this really is one of the most macho games I've recently played; all guns, tactics and difficulty.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Mega Mall Story
    With its familiar interface, simple mechanics and hummable ditty, resistance to its effortless charm is completely futile. At this stage, you might as well buy shares in Kairosoft.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Dual Destinies
    Viewed abstractly, Dual Destinies is a straightforward sequence of locked narrative corridors.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Crashmo
    The design team has crafted a playful, ingenious, and admirably economical experience composed of dozens of satisfying moments. It's a game about tidying up, finding order, and making a pocket-sized universe behave the way you want it to.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Where is My Heart?
    Where Is My Heart? is a video game about video games - about the possibilities that still lurk within even the busiest of genres, and of great new ideas brought to life by ingenuity, focus, and flair.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Fable: The Lost Chapters
    For all its beauty, the areas you explore do seem rather small and hemmed in - especially when we're so used to expansive, open-ended RPG worlds.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Meteos: Disney Magic
    One criticism is perhaps that some of the Disney icons are difficult to distinguish. Another is that the unlockables aren't marshalled into such a sophisticated structure as in the original. But apart from those minor gripes, Disney Magic is every bit as good as the original.
    • 89 Metascore

    Destiny 2: The Final Shape
    Bungie sticks the landing as it finally brings together the threads of its epic first saga.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Bladestorm: The Hundred Years' War
    A very, very good videogame: another brilliant evolution of Koei's unique interpretation of the real-time strategy genre, and every bit as satisfying as previous efforts. What it lacks in terms of the speed and immediacy of, say, Gundam Musou, it makes up for with strategic range, design ingenuity, and conceptual novelty. [JPN Import]

    Hell Yeah! Wrath of the Dead Rabbit
    If you enjoy impish cartoon worlds that mask their pristine internal consistency under a measured low brow, and you can put up with falling in a pit occasionally and having to go back to a checkpoint, then Hell Yeah: Wrath of the Dead Rabbit is probably exactly the game about Hell that you've always wanted.

    Napoleon: Total War
    Multiplayer mysteries aside, Napoleon represents a healthy step forward for the Total War series.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2005
    There's more to do here than any other sports game we can think of, it's one of the few multiplayer sports games that just about anybody will play whether they care about golf or not, and it's well executed and designed in a great number of ways. What's disappointing is the sense that the game's unsure of where to go next, and anybody who played the previous versions will probably feel a bit let down by EA's lack of ambition.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Final Fantasy XIII-2
    For all its mechanical cleverness and forward-thinking design, Final Fantasy 13-2 is also convoluted, complicated and unfriendly to newcomers. In Square-Enix's desperation to discover what its flagship series looks like in the modern world, what should be an interesting curio has been inflated to blockbuster proportions.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    de Blob
    Probably the best and worst thing about de Blob is that it's got 'Destined For Cult Status' written all over it. It's certainly not the first game to mix platform and puzzle elements, but the fact it manages to do so in such a clever, endearing, stylish and instantly playable way makes this a game we'd heartily recommend to anyone who thirsts for a 'proper' Wii game, whatever that is.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    New Play Control! Donkey Kong Jungle Beat
    If you never caught the original, then this is almost a must-have. It's stuffed with charm and clever ideas like the score-maxing hint sections displayed upon level-completion. In fact, this is classic platforming with the added bonus of individuality and innovation.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Tribes 2
    In short, then, you should buy this game, and if you play anything online this year, make it Tribes 2.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Overlord
    More than the script (generally witty and sharp, if occasionally undercut by an iffy voice-actor) or the graphic design (a brother to Fable's faux-fantasy charm), the constant capering of your charges is what gives the game its personality. That is, they have a lot of personality and so does the game.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Star Wars: Battlefront
    The best Star Wars action game we've played since "Rogue Leader," delivering the sort of galactic conflicts we've long marvelled on the big-screen in a balanced and inviting manner that continually satisfies.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy
    Undoubtedly a highly enjoyable action romp with a clutch of deal clincher ideas that are well-realised and far from being mere gimmicks to brag about on the box.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    OLO game
    Olo is small but perfectly-formed, a game of depth with simple rules and the classiest presentation.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Pro Evolution Soccer 2009
    There's still a fair bit for Konami to sort out, and if you're still happily enjoying the first PES Wii game you might wonder if you need this one at all, but if you like the sound of the things that have changed then you have your answer.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The Last Rocket
    Despite initial appearances to the contrary, you spend most of your time swiping The Last Rocket through various hazard-strewn rooms, negotiating air currents and conveyor belts and dodging flame jets and inconsiderate spikes.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    TimeSplitters: Future Perfect
    It's so rich with options that it can seem overwhelming, and although there's clear fodder there's also consistency and thoughtfulness in a lot of areas.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones
    It takes a measured approach to combat, pitches the atmosphere at the same eery, mysterious level that we loved about the first game, and wraps it all up with one of the more flexible control systems imaginable (quick point though, Ubi: why can't I invert the look up/down?) that make it possible to enjoy the kind of trap laden environments that would make Lara's eyes bleed at the prospect.

    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]

    • Critic Score
    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.

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