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.
