Disappointing and uninspired. As a free advertisement game for the Riddick movie, it could have been okay, but at this price tag we’d rather spend our money on fast food, and that’s saying something.

Certainly the best installment of Codemasters’ F1 franchise so far, but it also feels like the series isn’t really going anywhere. It’s at a point now where only the most die-hard fans will notice most of the changes.

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.

Works splendidly on the PS Vita and fits the format wonderfully, as it’s only in the later parts of the game that missions last more than ten to fifteen minutes. The artwork is ludicrous, but other than that, this is a solid dungeon crawler.

The riveting growth of the handheld market in general means we're not as blown away by the third Infinity Blade game as we'd expected we'd be, but it's still a solid game with the potential to become the best of the series.

GTA V feels like a next-gen game without actually being one. If all the other studious could do what Rockstar can, there'd be plenty of life left in the current console generation. But that's the thing, isn't it. No other developer is like Rockstar. And no other series is like Grand Theft Auto.

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.

Unless you’re really, really into brawler games and have a few like-minded friends on hand, you can safely take a pass on this year’s second Summer of Arcade title. Despite novel graphics and a silly story, it feels kinda bland.

The base game is fun, the controls are neat, and it has all the upgrade possibilities you could ever dream of. Unfortunately, it’s also completely unbalanced, entirely favors those who spend big bucks, and brings together all your worst fears and prejudices about fermium games in one neat package.

Rayman Origins, the predecessor to Legends, was one of the best platform games of this generation, and Rayman Legends has it squarely beat across the line. It may well be that the main character is 18, a practical lifetime in game terms, but he certainly doesn’t feel that way. Rayman feels refreshing like few others.

This is the most exciting arcade racer we've played in years. It makes Burnout 3: Takedown feel like a laid-back Sunday drive. A masterpiece of handheld gaming that will give any of the arcade racers on "proper" consoles a run for their money.

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 blast from the past, a type of shooter that just isn't made these days. Ridiculously fast, absurdly gory and deliberately silly. Certainly not for everyone, and the online play still needs some work, but if you're in any way tempted by this game, you should go right out and buy it.

The most hardcore Splinter Cell-purists might still be a little miffed, but otherwise Blacklist is by far the best outing the series has had on this console generation. Even if the new Sam Fisher is a bit dry.

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.

Solid craftsmanship combined with an endless amount of levels and a coat of crazy hardcore platforming make Pwnee Studios’ Cloudberry Kingdom a winner.

Solid fighting, social gaming, a surprisingly awesome gimmick and a great vampire story is what you get with BloodMasque. Vampire hunting has never been this much fun.

This game will both entertain and frustrate you in equal parts, just as the first titles in the long-running series.

We are far, far beyond “so bad it’s good” territory here. Dark is a botch job, avoid it like a vampire avoids the sun.

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.

Brain-dead licensed shovelware.

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

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

If it weren’t for the many glitches and regular stuttering, Painkiller H&D could have been a decent if somewhat repetitive retro shooter. But the technical issues make it difficult to recommend even as a niche title.

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.

Having to manage your riders stamina and resources is an interesting twist on the racing genre, but you need much more than just a fleeting interest in cycling to enjoy this game.

Feels more like a collection of tech demos with a tacked-on Wario theme than a coherent experience. Game & Wario is nowhere near as fun as earlier Wario games.

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