We like Namco's idea of remixing their classic arcade games and switching up the rules. But while Pac-Man Championship Edition DX is one of our favorites, Galaga fails to capture the same magic, as what's on offer simply isn't fun enough in the long run.

There's no doubt that F.E.A.R. 3 should have been a better game, as it fails to live up to both its predecessors and much of what else is on offer in the genre these days. The overall experience is still worthy of approval, and there are some fun co-op modes. Whether you're into horror, action or a combination of the two you might want to take a look at F.E.A.R. 3. Just don´t expect a scary wonder-ride like the first installment.

As the Wiimote is the only input the game uses, it's possible to "cheat" and do small moves with the controller instead of actually dancing. Playing that way is no fun, however. But if you embrace the game and dance the night away, there's plenty of colorful fun to be had, and with 40 songs and the option of buying more online, the longevity should be in order too.

Tokyo Jungle seems to completely miss the zeitgeist and the strengths of its chosen platform. It's barely recommendable for the most fanatical of animal friends, and everyone else should look for other hunting grounds.

An entertaining effort, particularly in the company of friends. If you're playing on your own, though, it might seem just a little too sparse.

Tumble is a great little block-stacking puzzler that's fun to play and very immersive. Probably the best game available for Move at the moment, and way better than many of the initial offerings available for Sony's motion controller.

One of the strongest launch titles of the PlayStation 4 is definitely Killzone: Shadow Fall. But that is mainly due to stellar graphical fidelity and a solid multiplayer. While the story is great, some of the characters are lacking. What we are left with is a top tier first person shooter, that might be forgotten in a few years even if right now it is the title to buy to show off your new PS4.

If you are into Twilight, vampires and stuff like that, then you will love this expansion. Not only do you get a chance to make a new choice in regards to your "relation", but you also get a gripping story, a family tragedy and a decent amount of new spells if you are into the werewolf or vampire parts of TeS. And you also get a dragon shout and new gear. Not bad.

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 lack of any sort of multiplayer is mindboggling, but otherwise this is a wonderful handheld port of one of the best fighting games of all time.

A fun game than will quickly steal hours of your life, particularly if you bring along a friend for co-op. There's little news to report on the gameplay front, but LEGO Pirates certainly matches the quality of previous games in the series.

A fine soccer experience that will be able to satisfy even the most eager, but it also has components that are in need of improvement in the next entry in the series – most of all the online possibilities.

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.

A well-done graphical update that stays true to the classic platformer. Sadly, the original game isn't very good, and the update doesn't change that. Co-op is a nice addition, though.

If you enjoy games like Painkiller and Serious Sam, Hard Reset is a game to get, but if you're not into old school shooters, you should steer clear. It's very much a niche title, but if you belong to that niche, it hits all the right buttons.

Disney Epic Mickey is delightful, funny, charming, highly entertaining and quite challenging game. It mostly treads familiar ground, but also has a few original ideas, and the paint/thinner mechanic gives the designers plenty of opportunities to encourage exploring. The enviroments ooze wonder and imagination, and there's always something to catch your attention and lure you off the obvious path. If you're into action platformers and adventure, don't miss out on Mickeys journey through Wasteland.

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.

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.

This is Rare and Microsofts version of Wii Sports. It hasn´t got as precise control as Sports Champions or as great graphics, but it delivers on the fun part. Party Mode is an excellent addition to a solid line-up of disciplines.

Warp is a brilliant, inventive and well thought out action puzzler that's easy to pick up and hard to put down again. It's a bargain at the price, and a title we'll heartily recommend to all fans of games like Portal.

An entertaining and well executed action game with traces of Max Payne and True Crime. The single player campaign is a bit on the short side, but 9mm makes up for it with excellent multiplayer. Gameloft is at the top of their game.

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.

The many sidejobs and minigames lack both variety and challenges, but the excellent boss fights make up for the tedium. It's not perfect, but it does have a lot going on for it.

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

Full Bore might appear as a modest project. It's not as embellished in indie cred and hype as Fez or Braid, and the basic idea is so laid-back and silly that it might invite to you to not take it seriously, but that is exactly the game's strength. There is no stress and no exaggerated expectations, and that's why you'll be gently pulled into its mysteries until you can't put it down. Full Bore is a wonderful puzzle platformer that you should not miss.

A simple yet fresh, funny and well polished take on classic tower jump gameplay.

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.

A thoroughly entertaining adventure filled with clever and fun puzzles. There’s not a lot of similarities to its predecessor, but since pretty much every change is an improvement, we won’t complain.

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.

Even with the enormous amount of customization options, plentiful weapons and gadgets and a rather solid progression system, Gotham City Impostors can't hide the fact that it's a fairly ordinary shooter, despite the colorful packaging.

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

If you're pining for a handheld substitute for Gears of War, look no further than Shadowfingers brilliant Shadowgun. At a tenth of the price of Epic's blockbuster, recommending this one is easy.

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.

One of those rare cases where a game manages to create a unique experience by adding a physical object to it, rather than something that just seems gimmicky.

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.

Works brilliantly for those moments where you just need to make a few minutes pass.

Has just enough content to get the stamp of approval considering the price, but we were frankly expecting more. You won't miss out on much if you skip this package.

The puzzle mechanics are enjoyable and well done, especially the ones requiring you to command around your Majin-buddy. Same thing goes for the Metroid-esque exploration and unlocking of new abilities. The combat is simple and uninspired though, and long travel distances between important areas in the later part of the game means that it can be rather boring at times.

In many ways, Off the Record is a better game than the original Dead Rising 2 with a better save function and a parallel universe setting of sorts. But it's also the SAME game, and if you've already played the original, there's little point in getting this. Only Dead Rising newcomers or absolute die-hards need apply.

Mystery of the Japanese Werewolf is one of those indie titles that deserves all the attention it can get. Quality is good, the entertainment value is high, and the price is ridiculously low. Pick this up the next time your iGadget hungers.

The first few hours can be a little slow, but once Dead Island gets going, it's hard to put down. It's blend of genres ensures that it's not just another zombie game, and the excellent co-op support is the icing on the cake.

Frustrating at times but mostly enjoyable, and the content to price ratio is hard to argue with.

Not the worst shooter around, but an enormous disappointment compared to its predecessors.

Most shoot em ups these days rely on a gimmick, and Zeit2 has a clever one: time travel. By rewinding the game a few seconds, you are essentially able to play co-op with yourself. The shooting is a bit lackluster, though, and Zeit2 often feels more like puzzle game, where you have to use the rewind function just right to beat the oncoming wave of enemies. May be interesting to hardcore Shmup-fans, but more casual players of the genre can skip it.

Probably not for everyone, but if you know your games and pop cultural references, Retro City Rampage will provide you with more smiles, laughs and "did you see that!?" moments than most other games.

Unit 13 takes the tactical shooter genre and serves it up in a way that can be enjoyed either as a snack or as the main course, whether you're playing alone or with a friend.

By all rights, doing a proper MOBA on console shouldn't be possible – but not only have Monolith managed to make it work, in some aspects Guardians of Middle-Earth actually feels and plays better than the PC games its inspired by.

It could do with a practice mode or some proper tutorials to introduce newcomers to the commander mode, but if you're up for a challenge or find a decent server, Nuclear Dawn is an exciting take on a genre that's usually lacking new ideas.

Escape Plan is an interesting project with certain problems. If you can get past those, it presents an atypical story and a gripping experience, but it's one that requires you to be in a certain mindset to enjoy.

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.

Where LEGO City Undercover delivered a great solo experience in a sandbox and LEGO Marvel Superheroes delivered lots of characters, The LEGO Movie Videogame seems happy enough with providing the usual two player co-op that TT Games does so well. This time they do it with a lot of focus on the well-known building blocks and some twists on the movie. As a fan of LEGO assembling, the movie or TT Games in general, this is a must-have.

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.

In some ways its little else than a glorified tech demo displaying the abilities of the Nintendo 3DS. But there's also a decent game hidden in there, even if it's a bit short on variety and content. Soaring over Wuhu Island can be a rather breathtaking experience, it just leaves you wanting more.

It's a fine demonstration of Kinect's abilities, but it lacks longevity. It's fun, but compared to the other Summer of Arcade games its decidedly thin. We're not sure it's worth the price tag when the handheld versions are that much cheaper.

In order to trade blows with the best in the genre, all the minute details have to be in order, and sadly, this is where Grand Slam Tennis 2 stumbles. While it's a good effort, there's little reason to pick this game over the other, better tennis games out there.

Whether Unbounded is a game for you depends on temper. If you won't tire of always flooring the throttle and going through every corner sideways, this is a technically solid arcade racer that hits home more often than it misses. But if you demand more variety and focus on driving skills, you should look elsewhere.

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.

A nice multiplayer shooter that borrows rigorously from genre staples, but doesn't really add anything new besides the western theme. Can't beat the price, though.

Liberation delivers more of what we know, and mixes it up with new mechanics and an enjoyable minigame.

Amazing visuals, great controls and superb car physics. You might hate the freemium model introduced in Real Racing 3. But if you decide to skip the game because of this, then you will miss out on the greatest mobile racer ever made for mobiles and tablets. Sure, you can always buy the cheapest pack which includes a nice BMW. After all that will only be a third of the price for Real Racing 2. Go ahead no one is looking. If not, then lock your credit card away and drop repairs until you get enough in-game currency to put some cars in your garage. After that there’s no turning back. You will be hooked.

As a whole, there's very little news here, but the game still justifies its own existence through a good, polished racing experience at a very cheap price. Particularly if you head online to race against friends.

All 4 one is a good co-op game with a few blemishes, but a disappointing Ratchet game for fans hoping for the full package. If you're looking for a co-op platform laugh that encourages competition, greed and a dash of cooperation, this is for you. But if you were hoping for a Ratchet adventure that would be fun on your own, you're better off with the previous games.

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.

Doesn't offer anything we haven't seen before, but Puss In Boots wins us over by offering the same joyful mood as the film, and a range of surprisingly fun mini games.

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

Anyone with a Move controller and even a marginal interest in fantasy and magic should give this a shot. It might not be the best game around, but it is one of the best Move games, especially for the younger players.

The sims' social life finally get the overhaul they've been longing for. There no new burrough or new main feature, but there's plenty of golden nuggets strewn about in every corner of the game, all of which are well worth looking for.

Solid mechanics, impressive enviroments and gripping gameplay in a universe where genre giants like Kratos or Dante would feel right at home.

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.

This is much better than the usual emulator crap that Sega throws at the iOS audience. It is still not at the top of iOS gaming due to touch controls that aren´t always as good as the competition. Lots of colours, good sense of speed and a fun albeit rather short game. Well worth a buy if it goes on sale.

It’s like watching a great TV series. Out of the 12 hours you will only find about two hours of "real" gaming though, which might be too little for some. Insanely high production values, great story and good acting makes this worth getting if you want the best in interactive movies.

A poor mans Gran Turismo lacking the depth, polish and graphics of the latter, but offering some fun if you are really keen to drive on two wheels.

A gorgeous adventure with a touching story is marred by mildly frustrating moments and mystifying puzzles. Recommended for the old-school adventurer.

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

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.

If you are looking for a good story and a different experience look no further. Homefront takes the horrors of war really close. Near the ending of the game it ends up resembling more of a Bruckheimer movie than a war classic, which is a shame. Excellent multi player is sure to entertain players tired of Call of Duty.

The visuals get older by the day, and the dialog doesn't match the quality from the main game. But if you liked New Vegas, you're bound to enjoy Dead Money as well. The story is quite good, and there's enough new ideas here to make the overall experience feel satisfyingly different from your previous escapades in the Nevada desert.

The LEGO MMO has many kinks, quirks and weird design choices at the moment, but if you approach the game with patience and curiosity, there's plenty to enjoy. Just don't expect a virtual version of LEGO bricks just yet.

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.

Plays like a simpler version of Infinity Blade, but with a little less finesse and feelings of grandeur. For bat fans, however, there's no doubt that the experience of beating baddies up as Gotham's no. 1 vigilante is a lot more satisfying.

The Fall is an entertaining (almost) five hour ride and a good take on the Deus Ex universe. Even if it feels more like a light snack than a full meal compared to Human Revolution.

It's remarkable how well Rebellion creates the experience of being one of a few survivors in an enormous zombie-ravaged city. And at a price of "free", there's no excuse not to get this for your iOS device.

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.

Despite its obvious parallels to the classic Lemmings games, Swarm disappoints. In spite of cool ideas and some nice design, the actual execution is hugely lacking. With a stronger focus and most of the technical issues ironed out, it could be worth another look, but at the moment it's just not worth its price tag. A new Lemmings it ain't.

One of the best beat ’em ups/brawlers we’ve played in a good while, and the spectacular daemon beatings you’ll be handing out makes Foul Play well worth the price of admission.

Rayman 3 isn't a lacking experience because Ubisoft botched the HD conversion, but because the original is simply one of the weakest chapters of the series.

I Am Alive has its strengths, and is certainly entertaining when you're climbing alone on the side of a toppled skyscraper, but the generic and repetitive combat drags down the overall experience.

Overall, Alice: Madness Returns is a nice little action platformer. It's not without its problems, and the levels do tend to drag on for a while, but the core mechanics are strong enough than genre fans should give it a look.

Playing Quake on a console might seem like blasphemy, but this modern Xbox port of the 11 year old Quake III Arena plays much better than you'd expect. In a time where military shooters dominate the online space, playing some oldschool deathmatch is incredibly refreshing. Quake has aged well, and this version offers plenty of content and entertainment without having to rely on nostalgia.

Heroes of Ruin wants to do a lot more than the 3DS will let it at this point, and it's a shame the game didn't have more willing hardware to work with, because it has plenty of ideas and good intentions.

Nostalgic fans are likely to enjoy it, but by modern standards, these games lack cohesion and are flawed in such ways that new players probably won't.

A solid shooter that feels fresh and original on some points, and succesfully borrows from the best on others. It's not perfect, but it's a title that all shooter fans should take for a spin.

Copying so much from Batman Arkham City that it almost feels like stealing. But when the end result delivers, then I can´t really complain much. Despite a few flat textures the game delivers: nice animations, good voice acting, great writing and a nice way to continue after the trip to the cinema. Word of caution: this adventure continues the movie's plot, so go watch the movie first, then beat the hell out of all the bad guys in this fun sandbox.

A simplified version of the usual Pokemon games, though it is so simplistic that it quickly gets boring. There's not enough variety, and while it's certainly charming, it's hard not to see Guardian Signs as anything else but an introduction to the Pokemon universe for those who have yet to play any other game in the series.

What might initially seem like a a greedy offering, is in fact a decent package. Two classic COD4-maps with improved graphics and new game-modes, plus another three maps added for good measure. An expensive piece of DLC, but worth it for fans of MW2.

One of the best attempts at a kids game for Kinect yet, with lots of variety, excellent use of the Pixar license and wonderful graphics.

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.

A very original and stylish team-based shooter. Once you figure out the Parkour-based SMART movement system it's a pleasure to use, and the gunplay is very satisfying. The singleplayer game is weak and boring, mostly due to miserable AI, but go online and Brink has plenty of fun to offer especially after the latest patch.
