    Advance Wars 1 + 2: Re-Boot Camp
    Maybe, of course, I'm not giving the game enough credit. Or, to put it another way, am I critiquing the game when I should be critiquing myself? This is a generous, elegant, efficient tactics game that I still take great pleasure from, that I can still lose hours and hours to, and it's also one which, if you step back, absolutely allows you to realise that you're frequently doing ugly things beneath a cheery facade. This might be another layer of its design. When are things ever simple? Maybe, this is a complex game that a person can meet on a number of levels, and the levels change as the person does.

    Hector: Badge of Carnage - Episode 2: Senseless Acts of Justice
    Nit-picking aside, Senseless Acts Of Justice is another harrowingly accurate exploration of the eccentric, perverted, vomiting British psyche. This is less of a game, more of a documentary.

    2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa
    There's undeniable satisfaction in combining to undo a tough defence and seeing those points totals totting up, and in some respects this is the best mode in the game, because playing together towards a long-term goal heightens the fun and drama.

    Gravity Rush
    Gravity Rush's mission structure may not be all that special - it's basically follow the waypoint, collect this, fight that - but the place you're exploring definitely is, and the way you get around that place is even better still.

    Pokemon Omega Ruby
    It's the closest many of us will likely get to genuinely exploring unknown territory.

    Horizon Zero Dawn: The Frozen Wilds
    Frozen Wilds' wintry wasteland looks awe-inspiring, but its story breeds the same disappointment as a melted snowman on Christmas morning.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword
    Inevitably, the lack of meat on the bones is Dragon Sword's major failing, coupled with the fact that the combat descends into repetitive scribbling after a short while, lacking the kind of long-term depth that makes the game's parent offerings so revered.

    Rhythm Heaven Fever
    It's playful, subversive, irreverent and, at times, impudent, revealing a darker, more left-field side to Nintendo that increasingly stays hidden. Let it out, we say. Let it out.

    Dungeon Hunter 2
    If you're not someone who gets too existential about the games they play, then step right up.

    Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2
    As games steadily become more ingratiating, Team Ninja offers you an increasingly rare prospect: the chance to truly master something brutal.

    Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime
    So while it never becomes particularly difficult, it remains constantly interesting, bursting with personality and a desire to be incredibly silly.

    Contra 4
    While Contra 4 is, at its core, a great 2D shooter that's refreshingly difficult, there are too many places where it stays true to its past in the face of innovations that could only make it a better, more accessible game.

    Street Fighter: 30th Anniversary Collection
    Legends should only grow in their retelling, and with 30th Anniversary Collection and Digital Eclipse's fine work Street Fighter has never stood taller. [Recommended]

    Rhythm Heaven
    The game has an elegant simplicity when set against the intrinsic fussiness of the Guitar Heroes and Rock Bands of the world.

    They Need To Be Fed
    The studio's happy knack for punting out charming little retro platformers continues with this moving tale about a monster and his desire to digest big-headed baby boys.

    Nintendogs: Dalmatian & Friends
    It's sad to have to say that, since we still think Nintendogs is an amazing achievement and a great game - it's just not a great game for very long. In other words, if you're a grown-up, if there are limits to your patience and your time, and if you want a game that's not just for Christmas, it's probably not a good idea to pick Nintendogs.

    Hypnospace Outlaw
    A witty and smitten recreation of a time gone by, which you'll forgive tedium if you share in the nostalgia. [Eurogamer Recommended]

    The Sims
    This wealth of variety and reward structure is carefully considered, but ultimately it won't help the final outcome - you're either going to love The Sims, or you're going to hate it.

    Spore Creature Creator
    While it acts like a pre-order incentive, in actual fact, playing the Creature Creator, it absolutely justifies itself. Even if you never plan to play Spore, it's absolutely essential you play this.

    Final Fantasy V Advance
    This is more than just a museum piece for today's JRPG fan. The speed of the gameplay is in stark contrast to today's lumbering epics, something that suits and shines on the GBA.

    Disc Room
    A fast-paced arcade game with the soul of a puzzler. [Eurogamer Recommended]

    Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo HD Remix
    On top of all this timeless goodness, the icing on the cake is the remodelled, sharpened-up graphics (with character art from Udon Comics), new special effects, online play in every mode, some evil achievements to go for, and, of course, online leaderboards.

    Pokemon Legends: Arceus
    Inspired as much by Pokémon Go as it is Breath of the Wild, Pokémon Legends: Arceus is flimsy and compulsive - and exhilaratingly new. [Eurogamer Recommended]

    Kirby Mass Attack
    The selection is definitely more hit than miss, although there are a few stinkers.

    Alan Wake
    Alan Wake is an accessible, undemanding game with a neat combat mechanic and decent visuals. It's just not a very original game, it's certainly not an exceptional one, and it's a shame it wasn't ready a few years ago.

    Helldivers 2
    With its high-chaos, high-comedy firefights, Helldivers 2 is a riot to play with friends – although its launch has been hampered by persistent matchmaking and progression problems.

    TR-49
    Inkle mixes archive-surfing and audio drama to create a surprisingly powerful story of obsession and a machine.
    • 83 Metascore

    VVVVVV
    Switching effortlessly between sadistic punishment and boundless freedom, VVVVVV provides more moment to moment pleasure in its scant two or three hour campaign than most games do at four times the length.

    Katana ZERO
    Stylish and punishing, this is a darkly compelling treat. [Eurogamer Recommended]

    GTR Evolution
    The reason this game and its predecessors perch atop their genre is they make every sweet passing move, crisply negotiated corner and shaved second feel like a podium finish.
