Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock is a much better game than we had expected, and the devs have actually managed to use the overall theme for something more than a new coat of paint. The quest mode is one of the most fun additions to the series in ages, even if it's just a re-ordering of elements we've seen before. There's enough standout tracks and new ideas for Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock to be worthwhile, even if you skipped the previous game because the series was growing stale.

Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 is undoubtedly the dream game for any Naruto fan, and manages to capture the colossal battles from the cartoon better than any game before it. For non-fans however, there's a lot of backstory to go through before getting to the meat of the game. The fighting system seems overly simplistic at first, but then requires you to master it fully in order to progress, which might prove frustrating for some players.

Yes, it's yet another game with zombies. That might be a bit old, but luckily Dead Nation is less about killing undead and more about racking up a high score. It's old school arcade action, and the online ranking system that pits countries against each other only adds to the addictiveness.

Building your own Rube Goldberg machines is nicely relaxing, and Create is a game almost entirely devoid of stress factors. The perfect game for getting your pulse down after hours of shooting people online. It could do with more player freedom, and there's a tendency for quantity over quality, but overall it's a refreshing puzzle title.

Naïve in looks but brutal in nature. Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light certainly isn't for the wide audience. Fan of the recent games in the series are likely to throw away their DS in frustration over defeat upon defeat. But it is sure to satisfy old-school Final Fantasy-fans, and the minimalistic approach is refreshing.

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.

A piece of gaming history that, despite a few blemishes, still deserves a playthrough in this day and age.

Rhythm kings who know their timings should give this a try, but everyone else should step cautiously.

Front Mission Evolved is a mad, mad game, but the madness bring more good experiences than bad. While the gameplay is entirely acceptable, it does get kinda monotonous, but the huge arsenal and customization options help make up for it.

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.

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.

Crackdown 2 is a sequel made for everybody who enjoyed the original Crackdown. With the tiny changes and the heavy reuse of Pacific City, Crackdown 2 feels more like an expansion that a full game. Still it is a solid experience if you feel like another round of orb-hunting.

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.

It could do with more variety, the sound can be rather grating and the presentation is bland. But at its core this is a fun RTS with some of the best controls the genre has had on consoles.

The steering lacks precision, and the quality of the level design is a bit wobbly at times. But Sonic Colours still surprises with its quality, and it seems that Sega and Team Sonic have finally understood what makes a good, modern Sonic game. One of the strongest Sonic games in ages.

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.

This is a must buy for any fan of the series, as the game captures its pace and tension perfectly. For everyone else, this is a good if a bit short experience that's definitely worth a look.

Toy Story 3 offers two separate takes on the game. One is the rather bland story driven journey, and the other is the amazing sandbox mode. The latter is where this game shines. It provides great fun and a fantastic playground for both kids and grown-ups.

A fun mix of Team Fortress 2 and Defense of the Ancients. The seemingly odd mix works well, and along with the low price and the ease of accessibility, Monday Night Combat is a unique offering on Xbox Live Arcade: a shooter that doesn't loudly claim to be the new challenger to Modern Warfare 2's throne, bur rather is content with being its own thing. If Uber Entertainment keeps on adding content and fine tuning the balancing, this should keep fans of team based shooters happy for a long while.

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.

There's a shortage of content and the character creation options are rather limited. On the other hand, the combat system is very well done, and the game takes great care in recreating the universe. If you have no interest in super heroes or DC Comics, you can probably skip it, but if you want to pound justice into some crooks and villains, it's definitely worth giving a shot. For while DC Universe Online may fall a bit short in some areas, it still offers plenty of entertainment.

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.

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.

Not exactly original, but then it doesn't pretend to be. Despite being clumsy, old-fashioned and bumpy, it's still a charming RPG with a great story that is sure to please fans.

At a glance, it might appear like a simple trip down memory lane, but spend some time with it, and you will find a game with an immense depth and great challenges. A good, exciting and alternative Castlevania experience, that might be too focused on multiplayer for some. Try before you buy.

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.

Metroid: Other M should have been a much better game than it actually is, and ends up appearing like a sloppy update of one of Nintendo's most beloved series. It lacks the understanding and admiration of the original 2D games that the Metroid Prime series just oozed, and could just as well be any other action game. The last couple of hours do a lot to help the overall impression, but the question is whether you have the patience to actually reach them.
