Ubisoft has solved the difficult task of squeezing one of the best platformers of the past onto a touch screen, and done so brilliantly.

It's easy to knock Gameloft for blatantly ripping off other games, but you have to be impressed with the level of quality in which they do it. And while N.O.V.A. borrows more than a few ideas from the Halo series, it also shows that iOS is more than capable of delivering a full console experience that can easily stand on its own.

A great turn based strategy title that mixes Space Hulk with Fallout Tactics. Still a bit buggy at times, but a deep and different iOS title that mixes RPG elements with strategy and delivers a great interface og nice graphics. Its free to try with IAP of the full game, so no need to stay away. Test it yourself.

The undisputed king of racing on iOS devices. Playing Real Racing 2 HD brings back memories of the first time we tried Gran Turismo, only much better looking. If you're looking for a serious racing game for your iPad, nothing comes close to this.

The series comes roaring back to life thanks to its strong, community-oriented approach, with only a slightly weaker single-player campaign holding the overall package back. In the end, though, Battlefield has truly returned.

While it might be a tad iterative, Hades II remains potent, razor sharp and brilliantly put together.

Gearbox has truly delivered one of the best looter shooters to date.

When the inevitable next mainline game lands in four-five years, I do hope Insomniac shakes it up a bit, but until then, AAA open-world games don't get much more entertaining than this.

Atomic Heart is not the October Revolution of video games. Most of the ideas, besides the unique premise, seem to be lifted from somewhere else, but that doesn't really matter as the basic mechanics are through-out and rewarding. Unfortunately, a host of smaller problems give the game a rough feel and keep it from realising its full potential. Still, if you love dense, atmospheric shooters or are hooked on the premise, then it's well worth taking a trip back to the USSR.

Hi-Fi Rush is a well-crafted and, at its core, simple action-adventure, and as the game's style, humour and bubbly personality rub off, it's not hard to like this game.

If you love addictive strategic gameplay with as much challenge as you want, then you are guaranteed to have a party with Fire Emblem: Engage.

Dead Space Remake is a faithful, loving and gentle update of everything that made the original game iconic, and if you liked Visceral's game, then you can safely reinvest.

Great story, beautiful and complex semi-open world. An insane amount of content and fun mechanics. That Dragon Age: Inquisition is great looking and with an added bonus of co-op does not hurt either.

Insomniac Games is back with more madness and more insane weapons in a sandbox game that is sure to entertain.

I can't remember when I last enjoyed a Civilization game as much as I have enjoyed Beyond Earth. I'm itching to jump on it again, raise the difficulty a notch or two, and see how fast my plans go down the toilet as I try to mount a panic-stricken comeback. It's an excellent strategy game, and despite minor problems it deserves a warm recommendation.

Bayonetta 2 is a triumphant return for the series and for Platinum Games. Extreme bosses, a crazy good style and an addictive co-op mode are just the icing on top of an excellent fighting system. Go get it now for your Wii U.

Quite simply the best Skylanders game yet. New game mechanics and an improved speaking portal makes this more than a quick cash in. Though it will most certainly suck your wallet dry. You will be smiling while it does so though.

Destiny has been hyped to an extent that it cannot live up to that hype. It is not a great living world for the solo player, and it is bound to disappoint some players, but it is insanely fun for the social player. While PvE might be thin on story, it keeps getting more content. PvP though is great fun and easily among the best FPS experiences. The future looks bright for Bungie's Destiny.

Copious amounts of entertainment, and plenty of well-thought out console-only features. Highly recommended for all fans of action RPGs.

The new area is intriguing, the enemies are tougher than ever, and the play time is just the right length to feel you’ve gotten your money’s worth, especially if you bought the season pass. Highly recommended to any Dark Souls fans.

Even if the Remastered version only really adds improves textures and better framerate, The Last of Us remains one of the greatest games in recent years. It’s a must-have for any PS4 owners who didn’t play the original, and well-worth replaying for those who did.

Modern Combat 5: Blackout is a mixed but overall great experience. If you come for the singleplayer campaign, you can easily deduct a number from the final grade due to a fragmented campaign. Are you looking for some great FPS multiplayer action in mobile form, you won’t go wrong. Modern Combat is still the world's best multiplayer shooter series for mobiles.

Capcom has done a truly amazing job of cramming one of the deepest action games onto the iPad.

Combining Minecraft-esque gameplay with a freemium city builder works surprisingly well. When you add fun mini-quests, puzzles and lots of social features the hours seems to fly, and the timers seem like less of an annoyance than usual.

Hands-down the best version of Street Fighter IV yet, and that goes whether you’re a complete newbie or an online veteran of the game.

While it certainly has flaws, we’ll still wholeheartedly recommend Valiant Hearts to anyone, as it offers a beautiful and respectful tale of one of the most gruesome periods in modern history.

A short but wonderful platformer that’s well worth playing.

The 2014 edition of Sky Force is one of the best shoot em ups in a long time on iOS and Android. Simply gorgeous to look at, great to control and filled with enemies and insane levels. Ads are a minor let down, but if you are prepared to pay a bit there is IAP to get rid of this.
