Assassin’s Creed Unity improves on the gameplay, the mechanics, the amount of people in the game and the music compared to earlier AC releases - and it even includes a fun co-op mode. Where it falls flat is on the delivery of the open world. It constantly feels like the PS4 is about to break under the pressure of working too hard. Framerate dips, pop up and ins and odd textures will definitely make this a pass for many gamers. We were still able to enjoy the game despite these short comings, but we can’t help but feel disappointed.

Disney Infinity has a lot of great ideas, but a lot of content is reused between the PlaySets and the camera feels wonky at times. The game on its own offers good entertainment for all ages, but for the most diverse experience for you and your kids, do yourself a favour and buy the Guardians of the Galaxy Play Set as well. That combo will keep you entertained for a long time.

While Garden Warfare’s class-based multiplayer provides great fun with unique visuals, the game was plagued by serious network issue during our review.

The first few hours are hysterical, but then frustration begins to set in, and in the end, Surgeon Simulator doesn’t manage to become more than a prolonged party trick.

Only recommended for those who haven’t played the game on PC or console. The iOS port is good, but if you’ve played the original Bioshock before, you’ll feel like something’s missing.

If you’ve never played Metro before, Redux is absolutely worth getting. The action may not be on par with the genre’s greats, but both games make up for that with atmosphere, exploration and setting. Just be aware that the Redux version of Last Light has few changes compared to the original.

Enjoyable recycling of a known concept, but held back by numerous bugs.

On one hand, revisiting Infamous’ Seattle with neon powers feels a bit samey, and the game’s mission and sandbox structure is starting to show its age. On the other hand, First Light is still damned good entertainment value for the price, and has enough storytelling and technical chops to grab the player.

Compared to its obvious rival Diablo, Sacred 3 lacks depth and genre-stables like a proper inventory and constant looting. This makes the experience more arcade-like, and ultimately less interesting. However, team up with three like-minded friends for a bunch of monster-smashing, and Sacred 3 has plenty to offer.

The result is a game that in some areas feels average and mediocre, but is highly charming, entertaining and fun in others, to a degree where that makes up for its shortcomings.

Highly recommended for anyone who’s into puzzlers and has never played Lemmings, or is feeling nostalgic. If you’re a Lemmings veteran, though, it might feel too much like the same old, same old.

Framerate issues and miniature texts bordering on the unreadable indicates that this is (sadly) just a quick and cheap port that’s a far cry from the majesty of the full-fledged versions of the game.

A series of odd and unfathomable design choices means this is a game strictly for those, who live, eat and breathe UFC. Everyone else is better off waiting for the next iteration.

Grid: Autosport definitely has its talents, and regardless of how much you’ve played the series, the actual racing is still great and has excellent controls.

Has its issues, but if you’re new to Ratchet & Clank it’s still a great place to start.

It is worth taking a trip to Salem. You might not be blown away by the mechanics or length of the game, but you will get a good story with interesting characters and some fun ideas. Recommended if you want a good thriller with tons of atmosphere in game form.

World of Tanks Blitz is a fine distillation of what makes World of Tanks fun: lots of upgrades and addictive online matches. Smaller maps make it an excellent choice for mobile gaming on the go, though we can't help but think they might end up being too limited in scope. While Battle Supremacy beats World of Tanks Blitz on graphics, World of Tanks Blitz is free and delivers on the fun-front with solid multiplayer.

Bound by Flame is a different and strangely addicting action roleplaying game. It is marred by a few bugs in the quest system though. While you wait for The Witcher 3 you could do much worse than this though. Recommended if you lust for a new RPG adventure with crafting, fun combat mechanics, interesting characters, less traditional dialogue and a great style.

Hitman GO is a nice casual puzzler with plenty of challenge and beautiful visual design, but it didn’t really grab us. Maybe you’ll feel differently.

Base building with action that feels like Time Crisis, Gears of War and Fruit Ninja mashed together, and a not too pushy freemium model, makes this an enjoyable experience for fans of the building genre. At times it feels like the jack of all trades, master of none. Still if you want lot's of things to do and some fun action while building a base, then this is a solid choice.

Amazingly fun game shoe-horned into an annoying freemium model with timers, limits on gas and endless dialogue. What could easily be the most fun Trials yet disappoints. I will be racing on with Bike Baron and Motoheroz HD, at least there I can play whenever I feel like it.

Sadly, Thief is an experience best summed up as “uneven”. It’s charismatic, gorgeous and well-designed, but for every thing it gets rights, there are another two that go wrong, such as the bad dialogue, the unstable framerate, the lack of a jump button and the all too linear campaign. These issues keep pulling the player out of what could otherwise have been a very immersive experience.

An excellent arcade shooter that delivers exactly what the box says; lots of zombies and lots of weapons to blow them to bits with. The inclusion of the DLC pack Road of Devastation adds some extra longevity. The new modes are more fun on paper than in reality, but the shooting remains solid and the hunt for cash and upgrades will be enough to keep aspiring zombie hunters glued to the screen.

There’s little reason to pick up the latest Mario Party. While it has plenty of personality, the majority of the experience is so thin that it struggles to keep your attention.

Falls flat. The fundamentals may be here, but the things that make the Assassin’s Creed series so good don’t get the necessary space here, or just feel half-done. If you were looking forward to Liberation as your next Assassin’s fix after the brilliant Black Flag, you’ll be thoroughly disappointed.

Gran Turismo is no longer the superstar it once was, as we are no longer impressed by tons of cars and lovely polygons, just like most of us no longer think poodle-hair and Def Leppard are hot stuff. The world is a different place today, as is the racing genre, but Gran Turismo remains stuck in the past.

Great open world, tons to do, amazing visuals, naval battles and a solid soundtrack. Sounds great? It would be if not for the total lack of any challenge. The simple fights never propose anything close to danger and the feeling of repetition soon sets in. Assassin’s Casual yaaaar. So much potential wasted.

It’s funwhile it lasts, has some good ideas and shows that the series’ formula is still compelling. But after a five-year hiatus, it feels way too short.

Knack has some fundamental problems, but it can be entertaining. Moments of inspiration and strong design are held back by the game’s many annoyances, though. Proof that charm isn’t always enough.

Despite its beautiful visual design and lovely interpretation of Paris in the 1920’s, Contrast is held back by flawed technical execution.

Soul Calibur II is an excellent fighting game that’s aged well, and this HD version is very faithful to the original. We’re puzzled by the price tag, though, as you can get Soul Calibur V for the same money.

This reads as a harsh review, but the basic building blocks are still in place. And it's a good game compared to others. However it pales when stacked against the previous two masterpieces. The Batman in Origins is seemingly a metaphor for his creators: less experienced, and making the odd mistake.

Netherrealms take the framework of their iOS version of Injustice: Gods Among Us and puts Batman in charge. Nice look, solid controls and decent audio is let down by freemium that hardly lets you fight more than 15 minutes without paying up or waiting. What a shame.

If you are into rock music you will love the track list. And as a bonus Rocksmith 2014 truly teaches you to play the guitar or bass. Just don’t expect to be held in the hand if you are a total beginner or challenged if you are an experienced musician.

Short but entertaining DLC package, that should entertain fans of Metro’s bleak world for a few hours.

When the Wonderful 101 manages to restrain its own chaos and make room for its myriad of ideas, it’s a joyous experience. Unfortunately it trips itself and stumbles over obvious issues that should have been handled more elegantly. A nice superhero adventure that could have been much better.

Seeing as it’s been close to a year since the original console release, one would have hoped that the Vita version had more polish. Sadly, this port only brings more issues to an already imperfect game.

Killer is Dead is a decent action game, but seeing as the genre is brimming with other titles that offer a much more complete experience, there’s little reason to spend your time here rather than elsewhere.

Won’t blow you away with new additions or characters, and you’ll have a lingering feeling that you’ve played it all before. That doesn’t mean it isn’t fun, though.

Certainly the best installment of Codemasters’ F1 franchise so far, but it also feels like the series isn’t really going anywhere. It’s at a point now where only the most die-hard fans will notice most of the changes.

I really want to like Rain. It has sympathetic ideas and does an admirable job of setting the mood, but you just can’t get around the fact that it’s rather unexciting and often just plainly boring.

Unless you’re really, really into brawler games and have a few like-minded friends on hand, you can safely take a pass on this year’s second Summer of Arcade title. Despite novel graphics and a silly story, it feels kinda bland.

A blast from the past, a type of shooter that just isn't made these days. Ridiculously fast, absurdly gory and deliberately silly. Certainly not for everyone, and the online play still needs some work, but if you're in any way tempted by this game, you should go right out and buy it.

This game will both entertain and frustrate you in equal parts, just as the first titles in the long-running series.

If it weren’t for the many glitches and regular stuttering, Painkiller H&D could have been a decent if somewhat repetitive retro shooter. But the technical issues make it difficult to recommend even as a niche title.

Having to manage your riders stamina and resources is an interesting twist on the racing genre, but you need much more than just a fleeting interest in cycling to enjoy this game.

Feels more like a collection of tech demos with a tacked-on Wario theme than a coherent experience. Game & Wario is nowhere near as fun as earlier Wario games.

It certainly has its moments, particularly for those well-versed in gaming history, but ends up sabotaged by an insane lack of variety.

Feels more like a snack than a full meal, but nevertheless a welcome return to the Walking Dead universe.

If you are crazy about the tour, then Le Tour de France 2013 - 100th Edition is a decent take on the cycling sport. Unfortunately the mechanics of the game aren’t very well explained, and even if it is fun at times managing your resources, it never fulfills its potential.

If you want a simple adventure game with lots of shooting then World War Z is a fine example of a movie license turned into a good mobile game. Getting a side story to the movie and a nostalgic trip back to when security guards scribbled their passwords on walls and puzzles where simple, is rather enjoyable. Don’t expect to get blown away by this game, but don’t expect to feel bad for buying it either.

Snoop Dogg returns as Snoop Lion in a rhythm game that borrows heavily from the Nintendo classic Elite Beat Agents. Campy story, well known Snoop-hits, cool animations and a decent rhythm game makes for a few fun hours. After that you will probably not return to the game.

I've had a hard time putting Deadpool down. Not because the mechanics or the game as a whole are particularly great, but because the (admittedly) juvenile humor constantly carries it forward. In some ways, it feels like what Duke Nukem should have been. It's dumb, silly and self conscious, and that's what makes it so funny.

Not a bad game by any means, but the mechanics are missing that final something that really grabs us.

The gaming equivalent of a robust, salty and fatty Sunday afternoon hangover meal. It may not be rich on fiber, but it’ll get right on your sides and stay there for quite a while. Be warned, it’s highly addictive.

Hopefully COH2 gets a ton of post-release support, as it really needs it. The technical aspects are lacking, and the graphics are nowhere close to justifying the hardware requirements. But if you turn down the bells and whistles and push through the opening tedium of the campaign, and you’ll find an engrossing and entertaining strategy game.

If you want a free and enjoyable MMO with focus on shooting, then CCP Games delivers. Just do not expect Dust 514 to be a walk in the park, this is a complex MMO that isn't holding your hand. If you can live with this and the few bugs still in the game, it is worth a download for all shooter fanatics.

I had really hoped Remember Me would have been a better game. A few tweaks here and there, and it could easily have scored a notch or two higher on a scale. The only thing that's holding it back is the mediocre gameplay, as everything else in the game is in the same league as the best in the genre.

Van Helsing is a fine example of solid craftsmanship. It may not blow the socks off action-RPG aficionados used to more luxurious offerings, but it’s an iceberg of content and an easy buy if you don’t mind a few rough edges.

Clears up some (but not all) of the original game’s odd missteps and adds a bunch of challenging and engrossing content. Might feel a bit like a rip-off for players who already own the original, though.

Feels a bit too much like an experiment, too much like a repetition of Papa Sangre, and not enough like a game. If you haven’t played Papa Sangre though, and you’re looking for something wildly different, give it a try.

Blood Dragon succeeds because of its unhinged insanity and thoroughly executed style. Scratch those things away, and you’re left with a shooter that’s only slightly above average.

I’ll make this quick – this package simply doesn’t have enough content. The three new levels on offer here fail to reach the level of the impressive DLC packs that were released for Gears of War 3.

If you’re looking for a motocross games with lots of solo content, this isn’t for you, but if all you want is some simple and dirty mud racing online, Motocross Madness has what you need.

One of the worlds best puzzlers returns with a double dose of hungry Noms and enough new mechanics to entertain yet again. Do no expect to be blown away as with the first game back in 2010, even if this is a welcome addition to the franchise.

The story mode is highly entertaining, but unless you plan on venturing online or having your friends over for some multiplayer beatings, you might find the amount of content a bit lacking.

The Chase Begins has high ambitions. It wants to deliver the same huge sandbox as the excellent Wii U version. But what it ends up with is a big world bereft of a lot of what made the Wii U game so enjoyable. The dialogue and story are boring, the draw distance is poor with lots of pop up, and the loading times are too long - especially for a handheld. It’s still a decent LEGO game as we know it, and there is a lot to collect. It just never feels like more as a shadow of its inspiration.

The world's best mobile dungeon crawler is back to its former glory. Amazing looks, fitting music and sound, even the dialogue is much better that the usual stuff from Gameloft. Solid controls, tons of loot and varied locations makes this a no brainer. The freemium model is what keeps this from reaching the skies. It is too much in your face, too pushy and never really feels like it is enough. You can complete the game by grinding and doing tons of multiplayer arenas, you just have to ask yourself if you are fine with that. Keep your credit card safe and go download. At best you will love the game and at worst it will be a fun few hours till you start feeling the IAP beg for real money.

Technically solid and charming arcade fun. We can’t help but wish that Behemoth will be a little more ambitious with their next game.

A game that seems more than satisfied with being entirely average in all respects. Does make for decent co-op fun, though.

Arkalis Interactive is trying to do what Telltale Games did with The Walking Dead: provide episodic content on a well known TV-series. While they do a fine job in delivering atmosphere, stealth missions and action, the game seems a bit lacking in gameplay and depth. With a little less than two hours of gaming and a lot of repetition the gamer ends up with an experience that seem too shallow. Fans of SG-1 will surely get a kick out of hearing the original voice cast and experiencing a new adventure, just don’t expect anything amazing.

Sonic Dash takes the tried and tested formula of Temple Run and adds a solid control scheme that doesn't involve tilting your device. But with close to a gazillion endless runners on the market it fails to impress. It is an enjoyable take on the genre, and has great graphics, but we have seen it all before. Buy it if you absolutely love Sonic, but do not expect anything new to the formula.

It’s no match for the likes of Gears of War or Call of Duty, but if you can ignore the technical issues, Special Forces: Team X still has a lot going for it.

Not the best action game to come from Platinum’s hands, and nowhere near the best Metal Gear game. Revengeance doesn’t live up to the franchise and the huge expectations placed upon its shoulders, but it remains solid enough to stand on its own. Just leave your expectations at the door.

Sad, boring and at times buggy beyond belief. The Aliens seem weak, the tension absent and even though the set pieces are great, the whole game feels bland. The last half of the game improves a bit, but by then you have already lost all faith. Mediocre at best. In space no one can hear you cry.

Dead Space 3 doesn’t know what it wants to be. It’s too busy with explosions and constant monster attacks to build up any tension, and thus fails as a horror game. On the other hand, its mechanics are too heavy and cliche-ridden, and the combat too repetitive, to work as an action game. And what are we left with then? A game that doesn’t impress in any of the areas where it really counts.

Aside from the improved graphics and the addition of minecarts, there's not much here that's actually new. Other endless runners have raised the bar for what we expect from this genre. Still, even though Temple Run is no longer the king, it's still a fun game.

Doesn't experiment too much with the TCG formula, but it's easy to learn and hard to master, making for money well spent. Sony Bend has obviously built the game with a lot of love for the Uncharted franchise, and that's why the game's biggest flaw is that it's just good enough to make you wish it was even better.

It's far from a bad adventure, but it's also not as cozy or cohesive as the previous Paper Mario games, or the sublime Mario & Luigi series of RPGs. There's plenty to enjoy, but Mario has done better as an RPG hero before.

Despite its accessibility and enjoyable multiplayer, Tank! Tank! Tank! is the kind of game that's best suited for the arcades, where you only expect a game to entertain you for a few minutes.

It feels as though all creativity and imagination has been shunned during development, and the result is a load of lethargic combat with too many flaws and complete lack of the details and polish that define the best games of the genre.

Doesn't change anything about the kart racing genre, but still decent fun.

As good as QForce is, it feels as though Insomniac is having an increasingly hard time recapturing the magic of the fabulous duo that put them on the map in the first place.

High quality platform action wrapped in beautiful graphics and sound. If the game had only been longer and its original ideas a bit more polished, this could potentially have been one of the best games for the format.

Gets a lot more right than wrong, and even if it doesn't quite match the brilliant atmosphere of the first game, it's still a solid platformer/action adventure with excellent production values.

When Vikings Attack has tons of fun moments, and comes recommended if you're willing to meet it on its own terms.

Wreck-It Ralph works well as a nostalgic arcade compilation with potential for lots of shorter gaming sessions.

A decent wrestling game with a solid combat system, as long as you're able to ignore repeated flaws from its predecessors.

Adventuring in Silent Hill: Book of Memories is often not that exciting, but as a fan of dungeon crawlers, I often caught myself coming back for just one more go. Wait for the bargain bin offers.

Skylanders Giants has a firm grip on all the qualities that make for a proper family friendly adventure.

Best played with friends, but if you do, you'll get a delightfully simple and chaotic experience from the old school, where tactics are shunned and constantly squeezed triggers are rewarded.

There's no doubt hat the intentions behind Dragon Ball Z for Kinect were good, but once again it feels as if the Kinect camera's lack of precision has been an obstacle for the developers.

Time hasn't been kind to Little Kings Story, and the fact that the developers have ignored most of the original's problems doesn't help. Still, this is one of those adventures that can really put its hooks in you by constantly offering new tasks, bonuses and possibilities.

Doom 3 has flaws that have only become more obvious with time, and tweaking a few gameplay mechanics isn't enough to rectify them.

It's a real shame that the current Kinect technology apparently doesn't allow for more precision, because Fable: The Journey is really fun when everything clicks. It's the closest any game has come to fulfilling all the visions Microsoft had back when they unveiled the tech.

As a whole, this is an unconvincing round of going through the motions with a character who deserves much better execution.

Resident Evil 6 has strayed too far from its source material to be thoroughly enjoyable. It's a decent action game, even though the story is entirely predictable, but if you're looking for scares and sleepless nights, you'll have to look elsewhere.

Neon-colored retro-entertainment that's perfect for short sessions. There's not much in terms of depth, though.
