It's impressive to see how thirteen years later, Radiant Silvergun is still among the finest shoot 'em ups ever made.

If you're not familiar with the series, it might seem odd that Capcom hasn't spent more time updating the graphics or the 4:3 display format, but those in the know will be pleased to see that playability has been the main focus of this update. Anyone who's already dedicated large amounts of time to Street Fighter III can dig out their arcade stick and venture online without worry.

Rayman Fiesta Run might not be as great a platformer as Legends or Origins, but it takes the formula from Rayman Jungle Run and refines and expands that. With a harder difficulty and an option to cheat a bit, it caters for both the casual and experienced gamer. It is simply a fantastic platformer for mobiles.

A fantastic sequel to a delightfully simple strategy game. Rest assured that you can easily play it without running your head into any paywalls. And that fact alone makes PvZ2 one of the best freemium games in recent times.

The graphics and atmosphere are well done and colorful on every screen, and while the characters are a bit too talkative, they are also funny and sufficiently silly. But the story and gameplay seem entirely detached as usual, and it's a shame that the story devs and puzzle devs apparently didn't have more meetings together.

Dance Central 2 has obviously been made with passion and love, and isn't just a quick cash grab. Compared to its predecessor, it has better songs, more forgiving gameplay and the option of two-player dancing, which is easily the most important addition.

Bastion is like the love child of the visual style and calm of Braid and a refined and trimmed version of Torchlight, and one that manages to exceed well beyond our expectations. There are a couple of missteps, and the story could do with a little more bite, but other than that there's no reason not to throw your money at this game and stay indoors a little longer.

A charming and highly addictive racing platformer with plenty of staying power assured by the excellent level designer tool. Great value.

Tales From Space: Mutant Blobs Attack is one of the rare experiences where everything just clicks. The style, the feeling, the controls and the gameplay. If you are looking for a solid (or cheap) platformer for your priced PS Vita look no further. This one has everything going for it.

A new an improved Max Payne, without forgetting the old guy we all have come to love and remember fondly. Purists will no doubt enjoy the fact that there is no regenerating health, and you can decide yourself how much assistance you want as far as aiming goes as you pull the left trigger - and you can turn the assist off completely if that's your preference. The challenge is there even on normal difficulty. You can expect somewhere between 8-10 hours to complete the game. And then there is a solid multiplayer game to mess around with. Great stuff!

Brilliantly mixes stealth and puzzles in a wonderfully accessible way. Funny, charming and highly detailed.

Dance Central 3 is the best Dance Central to date. It's not a revolution, but it's a safe buy regardless of whether you're already a fan or a newcomer.

DJ Hero 2 is the best rhythm game I've played in a long, long time. The soundtrack is boss, and the new freestyle sections are an awesome addition. Rather than just hitting buttons in time with the music, DJ Hero 2 actually makes you feel as if you have a degree of control of what comes out of the speakers. I'd much rather play with plastic turntables than plastic guitars at this point.

Back to Karkand is a wonderful map pack that highlights the best parts of Battlefield 3 and the series in general. If you like the game, you shouldn't miss out on this DLC pack under any circumstances.

How minimalistic can you make a strategy title? The answer is Rymdkapsel. Super addictive, with a flair for details and clever design. Rymdkapsel is a short but perfect brain twister for iPad.

Gorgeous visuals and a brilliant cast make Splinter Cell: Conviction a terrific, if a little short, singleplayer-experience. The Co-op modes bring loads of entertainment for shadowy agents and novice spies alike. Fisher's latest comes highly recommended.

EA is still miles ahead of everyone else when it comes to digital boxing, and Fight Night Champion only adds to their lead. There's still room for improvement, though, even if the new Rocky-inspired story mode is a wonderful addition.

Battlefield 4 is far from a revolution, but it is undoubtedly a peak for the series. It's everything you may have missed from the previous game, and on PS4 we finally get a console port that doesn't feel like a string of compromises. BF4 delivers multiplayer action of the grandest kind, and that should be your reason for getting the game. Single-player can safely be ignored.

There's no real news here if you're already a Street Fighter ace on the home consoles, but it's still the Street Fighter IV that we know and love. For newcomers, the little helper buttons on the touch screen are a clever addition that makes the game more accessible. The 3D effect is neat but nothing mindblowing, although the optional over-the-shoulder camera angle confuses more than it helps. But all in all an excellent fighting game.

The differences from previous versions of the game are miniscule, but Mass Effect 3 still offers a fantastic story with grand moments. A great place to start your Wii U collection.

While it may initially feel wildly different than other stables in the genre, the combat system of Blazblue: Continuum Shift quickly reveals itself to be logical, intuitive and in possesion of enormous depth. The mix of 2D fighters and 3D backgrounds is a little jarring, but otherwise Blazblue is a rock-solid fighter that plays as well as the household names.

The combination of simple graphics, terrific soundtrack, grotesque violence, creepy and nightmarish atmosphere, and the blistering fast and demanding gameplay makes Hotline Miami one of the best action games we've played in ages. Buy it. Buy it now.

The game itself is fantastic and addictive fun, the new controls are solid, despite a few issues with the touch features, and the graphics are perfectly suited for the Vita’s screen.

A very scary and very effective horror game, that is guaranteed to give you chills and literally left us short of breath. Average story and voice acting and other small annoyances keep it from getting top marks, but we'll still recommend it heartily to all horror fans. Especially at the cheap price point.

Forza Horizon impresses, and not just with the high quality of almost all its facets or the sheer amount of content in the package. Where it really wins us over is in the pure driving bliss that too few racing games remember to include these days.

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.

AC3 has flaws, but they are not all that important. It's easy to love the game, and you'll surrender yourself to Connor's fight for freedom and independence from the Templar oppressors with great satisfaction.

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.
