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 classic cult movie is turned into an incredibly bad dual stick shooter with barren enviroments, boring action and horrible sound. Even though it sticks to the story, it is bad enough to hurt your opinion of the movie it's based on.

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.

Scream 4 mixes slasher movies with stealth gameplay, makes rather decent use of the Scream license. Sadly, it's held back by clumsy controls and an insanely short game.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

A very pretty but tediously paced attempt at a God of War clone, in-app purchases might be optional, but that does not change that the game simply isn't that much fun for the four hours it lasts.

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

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.

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.

A worthy sequel to Battleheart that lets you fight with a single character. An insane amount of class customization combined with a charming style in both audio and graphics and a great story ensures at least 15 hours of great adventuring. After that there is arena and a new game plus. This might simply be one of the best action roleplaying games on iOS.

The main character has the charisma of a wet piece of cardboard, but other than that, Watch Dogs is solid and a great foundation for Ubisoft to build on in the future. Having spent many hours in virtual Chicago as Aiden Pearce, we’re only hungry for more.

A well executed handheld take on the MOBA genre. Well worth a look if the genre’s your thing.

While it doesn’t quite live up to the magnificent standard set by Supergiant’s previous game Bastion, Transistor still makes its mark with deep gameplay and an engrossing story.

Vastly superior to all its karting competitors. Once again, Nintendo has filled its tank with the finest fuel you can imagine, and anyone who gives the gas pedal even the gentlest of squeezes will be hard pressed taking their foot off it again.

It’s not offensively bad, but Record Run just doesn’t hit its marks. You can obviously give it a shot since it’s free, but don’t expect it to grab you for days. There’s simply too little of Harmonix’ knack for music games on offer for that.

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.

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.

One of the most inventive and enjoyable Kirby games in quite while, not because of the lackluster minigames, but because the main game keeps surprising you.

A shining example of the powers of adventure, and what a well-realised fairy-tale world can do for a gaming experience. Child of Light is magnificent journey that deserves both your attention and your time.

Feels like the ultimate Sly Cooper experience, and is among the best releases on the Vita. The games may be old, but they feel timeless.

Trials Fusion is as addictive as always, a fantastic experience that balances complexity and nuanced simplicity in a display of level design power. The eight worlds are easily enough to justify the price tag, and the track creation tools will make us keep coming back for ages.

Essentially it’s just the Everybody’s Golf series reskinned with the usual Mario cast, but that can certainly provide for an enjoyable and relaxed golfing experience.

While the PC and Xbox One versions are superior, the Xbox 360 port of Titanfall comes as close to their glory as one could possibly have hoped for.

Easily one of the best platformers available on iOS. It’s both charming and brilliantly designed, and manages to make one of the most troubled genres on touch-devices work beautifully.

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.

Combining Fez, The Room and Journey into a piece of art is no small feat, but Monument Valley succeeds. Here is something that can be played and enjoyed by almost all ages. A tiny masterpiece bordering on genius. And there is a great puzzle game beneath the gorgeous paintings, it is not all about looks. Get this for a great one to two hour journey.

The game Diablo III should have been from the start, and an absolute must for anyone who likes Diablo. With the massive injection of new content and total renovation of several core systems, Reaper of Souls in many ways feels fresher than Diablo III did two years ago.

Awesome celshaded comic book style, marred by a swath of crazy and incomprehensible bugs, but even if Gameloft fixes those, the basic gameplay of this arcade brawler isn't enough to really excite us.

We do not miss Cole, even if Delsin is an annoying brat. When you finally climb up the Space Needle it gives you a brilliant view and shows of the amazing visuals of one of the best looking games on the PS4. A Worthy installment in a great sandbox series.

There are two ways to look at Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes. Either as a short game that feels too much like a demo, or as a two hour long game with about eight hours of extra content for those willing to explore. No matter what you feel, Snake's newest adventure is worth diving into if you are a fan of stealth or just want a taste of how good stuff can look on the PS4.

Dark Souls II has lost none of its relentless difficulty, and the many improvements make it a great experience for veterans and newcomers. But it may not be for everybody. Still a highly recommended experience if you thirst for a new action role playing game in your collection.

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.

Fun and entertaining, unusually polished for a game from Obsidian Entertainment, and beneath the simple surface and the fart jokes there's a surprisingly well-functioning RPG. If you're in any way tempted by South Park: The Stick of Truth you don't need to worry. Just stick with the PC version.

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.

Tropical Freeze is a fun platformer that proves itself with wonderful graphics, plenty of personality and merciless challenge – most of the time. It also gets in the way of itself with bad pacing, and it will feel very, very familiar to anyone who played Donkey Kong Country Returns on the Wii.

There are many reasons to treat yourself and your Vita with TxK. The gameplay’s sharp, the soundtrack’s fantastic, and it’s one of those games were you’ll keep feeling like you can improve your high score with just one more go.

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.

Dungeon Keeper is an anti-game. It sucks the joy of gaming out of me and it has no redeeming qualities, not in the slightest. Calling it greedy would be understatement of the year. The already tarnished image of free-to-play could hardly receive a more devastating blow than that which Dungeon Keeper has given it. It eats at my soul every time I play it. And that's why I'll uninstall, nay, banish it from my tablet as soon as I've finished this sentence.

If you're a fan of The Last of Us, you should download Left Behind immediately. The expansion exudes quality, and lives up to the high standards set by the base game in every way. Naughty Dog are the kings of the cinematic gaming experience, and unique in their ability to create believable and human characters that we empathize, laugh and cry with. Left Behind confirms that without wavering.

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.

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.

It’s like Clash of Clans with a sci-fi twist, and you’ll keep coming back to scale the leaderboards and steal resources from your enemies.

A very addictive roguelike that we’ll happily recommend to anyone who owns a PS4.

As a horror game, Outlast is a resounding success, due to an engaging story, a finely tuned sense of graphical detailed and a nuanced soundscape. If anything, it plays its strengths a little too safe.

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.

Once again, Hello Games takes the full-fledged console experience and brings it to mobile without compromising either controls or the level of challenge. Well worth getting.

Rockstar returns with their best iOS release yet. Polished, great looking, tons to do, customizable controls, awesome music and just a perfect conversion job all over. San Andreas has never looked this good.

Simple, fun, crazy and addictive. These are all words I would use to describe this pixelated twin-stick-shooter. Good chiptune-music, charming retro graphics and tons of loot keep you hooked no matter if you are in for a retro fix or a simple space adventure with focus on ship building.

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.

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.

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.

The most refreshing Zelda game in a long while, and yet additional proof that Nintendo knows how to utilize the 3DS like no one else. An essential game for the platform.

Very close to being the best Lego game yet, and sure to entertain kids, families and comic book fans alike.

Super Mario 3D World is a sublime Mario adventure. Finding the three stars and one stamp every level contains quickly becomes an obsession, which is a result of Nintendo's brilliant level design.

Tearaway is beautiful, well-designed, fun to play, and a must-buy for all Vita owners.

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.
