    Pac-Man Battle Royale
    We should reserve judgement until Namco releases a proper version, but from what we've seen, it's worth it.

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

    Savage Moon
    Still, on the whole Savage Moon is a well-executed and polished example of what tower defence has to offer, and for GBP 6.29 offers a great play-for-pound ratio.

    Red Faction: Armageddon
    One of those middle of the road games which adheres to a familiar template closely enough to provide adequate entertainment in the short term but is unlikely to inspire any devotion. It falls over itself to make you feel like an unstoppable badass, but then rarely gives you the opportunity to show off.

    Age of Mythology: The Titans
    Provides just about enough to be worthy of the price of entry if you're an Age of Mythology fan. The new single-player campaign is slickly presented and a lot of fun, while the addition of the new race and the Titans themselves should give a fair bit of extra longevity to the multiplayer aspect of the game.

    SkyDrift
    SkyDrift is comfortably one of the strongest aerial combat racers we've seen in the world of download-only titles.

    Age of Empires III: The Asian Dynasties
    Unfortunately, AOE3's ship has sailed for most folks, and this just isn't exciting enough to quite justify also splashing out on the original game if you don't already own it.

    Trauma Center: Under the Knife
    It's a good idea, well measured and put together. Its problems are spiking difficulty and mechanical obstinacy.

    MiniSquadron Special Edition
    Given that the original came features eight levels of a similar quality (and can be tried out free first), you might be better off checking out the original first. If you just can't get enough, come back for second helpings.
    • 75 Metascore

    Tropico 5
    It works well for now, then, but Tropico 5 is clearly more concerned with introducing new concepts atop the old than it is with overhauling its base mechanics. Looking ahead to the future, this long-running series would benefit from having the fires of revolution lit beneath it.

    Rebelstar: Tactical Command
    With a tiny bit more polish Rebelstar Tactical Command could be not only one of the best games on the GBA but one of the best games released this year.
    • 81 Metascore

    Flanker 2.0
    It isn't the perfect game, and the anal attention to detail may reduce the appeal it has to the general game playing populous.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Space Pirates and Zombies
    It takes a while for Space Pirates And Zombies to really play its hand, but that's the trouble with something so wilfully creative - it takes time to peel away the layers. But if you make the effort, it's worth the effort.

    FreeSpace 2
    But playing the game makes you realise just how little effect any one pilot has on a war, and how futile and dehumanising the whole thing is. I'm sure it wasn't meant to, but there you go... The world's first pacifist space combat sim?
    • 73 Metascore

    Killzone: Shadow Fall
    There's a lack of confidence here that contrasts starkly with Guerrilla's dazzling, sure-footed command of the new hardware. It's a game that any new PlayStation 4 owner will be proud to show off - but it won't be one they remember by the time PS5 rolls around.

    The Darkness II
    Ultimately, it's this unique style that makes The Darkness 2 worth your time. After years of chest-beating military domination, the FPS genre is starting to show signs of life in more eccentric ways. Everything old is new again, so by concentrating on character, story and giddy comic-book excess, The Darkness 2 is a more compelling offering in 2012 than it would have been in 2008.

    Microsoft Flight Simulator X
    FSX is the finest non-combat flight-sim money can buy assuming you've got the sort of cutting-edge system that can do it justice.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Dropchord
    Dropchord demonstrates Double Fine's expanding range and competency as the studio begins to diversify. This may be a palette-cleansing effort for the studio's staff, but in Dropchord's case that sense of creative liberation works in our favour.

    The Bureau: XCOM Declassified
    Given its fractured development and lumpen structure, the fact that The Bureau is actually pretty good is arguably victory enough. It's certainly the "contemporary" game 2K wanted - but it's never as inventive or memorable as the strategy game that inspired it.
    • 69 Metascore

    Super Stardust Portable
    Super Stardust Portable is still an exemplary Western shooter, but for fans of the PlayStation 3 original, there is little here to inspire repeat purchase, the convenience of portability offset by the hardware's other limitations.

    The Eye of Judgment
    In short, if you're a big fan of trading card games Eye of Judgment is worth the money. If you're not but you're planning to get a PlayStation Eye anyway, you might as well get a great game into the bargain.

    Ninety-Nine Nights
    What you'll get out of N3 is the relentless pounding excitement that transcends the initial gripes.
    • 71 Metascore

    Fruit Ninja Kinect
    Somehow, though, prancing around like a sweating monkey makes the magic happen, and turns it into the craziest fitness game yet. Never mind UFC Trainer, I may yet get buff from repeatedly removing the stupid tufty hair of imaginary pineapples.
    • 79 Metascore

    Glowfish: Full
    Glowfish's unnerving mazes offer the unexpected menace befitting of a desperate rescue mission against an unfeeling urchin.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Star Wars: The Force Unleashed
    As a fan you will want to experience what The Force Unleashed has to offer. It's just a shame that while there are occasional moments of brilliance when everything falls into place, they're not quite enough to back up the game's delusions of grandeur.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Neverwinter Nights 2: Mask of The Betrayer
    It really isn't for anyone other than the devoted western-RPG head. Which is fine; the devoted western-RPG head has had a particularly weak year, and will lap this up. As they should. But if you're not in their ranks there's little here for you.

    PixelJunk Eden
    I stand by my assertions that inconsistent physics and poor level design make for a game which is frustrating. And having to start all over again, all of the time, is boring. But PixelJunk Eden still manages to be addictive. The more you experience and experiment with the control system, the more you realise how innovative it is.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Touch Detective
    In gameplay terms it's a well-worn path, but you're not in it for innovation, you're here for the quirky dialogue, the surreal scenarios and the alluring art style.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Dynasty Warriors 3: Xtreme Legends
    If you really want to get into Dynasty Warriors from scratch, then you might find yourself better off with a second-hand copy of "Dynasty Warriors 3," which you can probably find for 15 quid.
    • 84 Metascore

    Resident Evil 4 HD
    Resident Evil 4 is a brilliant game, but that's exactly why Resident Evil 4 HD is such a disappointment. This is no definitive version or director's cut (wouldn't that be something), but a criminally half-baked attempt to winkle a little extra cash from the still-beating heart of a classic. Resi 4 deserves better than this; Resi 4's legions of devoted fans deserve better than this; and Capcom should be much better than this.
