An interesting universe, a decent story and excellent action are the deciding factors when determining whether Reckoning is a game for you. For us, there is no doubt – we are itching to get back to the world of Amalur.

SSX is a game trimmed of all superfluous fat. It's old-fashioned in the good sense, where you can just pick it up and play, and nothing gets in the way of the gameplay. With the hunt for medals and the frankly mad amount of drop points, it's also a game that you can squeeze plenty of hours from. SSX is everything we hoped it would be.

The first game had some interesting ideas, painted with delicate strokes, whereas the sequel throws the bucket of paint at the canvas and stands as a much more traditional game and comic book experience. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

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.

A stylish and well-made point’n’click adventure.

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

You might not like everything about Simogos' fairly short adventure game. But if you are looking for something different then this is the game to get.

Short but otherwise highly entertaining shooter game filled to the brim with unique aesthetics and enjoyable gameplay. The newly added multi player lacks depth, though. There are plenty of shooter games around these days, but Pixeljunk Shooter is one of the most entertaining on PSN right now.

There’s little doubt that Pikmin 3 is the best game of the series, and even if we’ve seen most of it in the previous games, they’re so old by now that the experience feels new and fresh again.

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

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.

An endearing little puzzle platformer with unique visuals and plenty of challenges. The game may have its flaws, but the humor and the bargain price makes up for it.

Even though the original NBA Jam is 17 years old, and the formula hasn't changed much since then, EA's latest revival seems surprisingly fresh and has an irresistible playability. The controls are simple enough that you'll know them by heart within minutes, the graphics are fun, and the commentator has so many one-liners that you can't help but get a smile on your face. Boomshakalaka!

If you want another MOBA game and you do not want to spend a penny, this is the one to get. A surprisingly competent freemium product for fans of the popular strategy genre.

Disney Infinity is like watching Toy Story for the first time. It's strange, wondrous and presents us with a world where the only barrier is your own imagination. But even if your imagination runs wild, you have to live with uneven controls and simplistic combat.

A rock solid action game that shouldn't be taken too seriously. The multiplayer component borrows heavily from other titles, but adds a unique element in the form of transformation mechanics. All in all a very good game.

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.

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.

Ignoring the price, Deadlight is a solid and entertaining game that brings crude oil-thick atmosphere to Xbox Live in the same way Limbo did two years ago.

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.

The more time you spend with Grid 2, the more you feel like its caught in a conflict of personality. However, there are no problems here that can’t be fixed with a patch or two, and racing fans will find plenty to enjoy. Here’s to hoping that Codemasters will support the game post-release.

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.

An amazing showcase of how Kinect can be used. This is a competent dance trainer in your home. Amazing moves and a good track list. It is lacking in multiplayer options and at times feel more like a trainer than a party game.

A bizarre mix of wildly different genres, weird chibi-inspired graphics and loads of charm. For once it feels like Square Enix has rediscovered their ability to take any genre and give it their own unique twists, and coupled with a backdrop consisting of the entire Final Fantasy series, this game becomes quite the charmer.

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.

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.

This will possibly be the last big release for the DS, and in that way it's a fitting end of a console era. It shows the handheld at its best with gorgeous pixel graphics, well made stylus controls and plenty of original ideas.

An insane and over-the-top experience that manages to blend challenge and simplicity in the way that only Nintendo knows.
