A decent rhythm game that fans of Persona will lap up and newcomers may be left a little bewildered.

Rock Band 4 is bare bones sequel to a spectacular game and your mileage will depend on how desperate you are to play these games on the newer consoles.

One of the weaker platformers for the Wii U where sadly a beautiful game can’t hide the rather poor level design.

Beaten to the ball. A frustrating but undeniably well put together package.

A solid game, with a few minor port issues, but at a budget price one you should be at least flirting with the idea of playing.

Another solid, if unspectacular episode in the Borderlands series.

Lovely visuals cannot save Risen 3 from falling way short in the overall quality stakes.

A solid JRPG with an addictive battle system which is let down by the repetitive plot, minor technical glitches and generally being way too easy.

A solid entry into the exploration genre, but a couple of minor niggles stop it being a classic

A fine simulation of the technical game of poker, but just cannot hope to reproduce what makes poker so great.

A game of two parts, one that makes you feel so relaxed within its world and another that just about works, but feels like it doesn’t quite belong in this experience.

Overall, Tembo the Badass Elephant may be short and a bit cumbersome but it is also a fair amount of fun and keeps players interested by introducing new things at regular intervals.

Overall, Yatagarasu: Attack on Cataclysm is a solid fighting game with some nice mechanics but it really has its work cut out to overthrow the current crop of fighters.

Ronin is a good game, with an excellent idea for combat that is slightly devalued by an almost absolute need to stealthily take out enemies before entering battle. It frequently reminds you that this is not a stealth game but it is with stealth that you often make the best progress.

A ton of video game references and cultural in-jokes… but as always and once again, it turned out to be quite a juicy guilty pleasure.

This episode is the most amusing yet, but again, comes with the same problems.

LEGO Jurassic World follows the tried and tested formula but is missing that little bit of magic, despite John Williams’ amazing score being part of the expereince.

An enjoyable dungeon crawler with a decent story.

A nice and inviting title that doesn’t set the world alight, but is happy to simply entertain your spare time.

A real missed opportunity, it should be done better and has been before.

It shouldn‘t work, there‘s gaping holes in its structural integrity, it should have broken up in orbit. Yet somehow Out There remains intact, exerting a mysterious gravitational force that kept pulling me back.

Upon completion it does feel pretty much worth the effort, although even then it is still a little bit confused and there are unanswered questions.

A competent game which has little wrong with it, but just won’t leave an impression.

A nice concept with just one too many issues to make it worthwhile.

Overall, this is an attractive and amusing game that is pleasing on the eye as well as the ear that is great for a fun quick blast in the middle of the day, during your commute or simply whenever you feel like it.

Not NetherRealms finest, but still a solid fighter.

Overall, Tower of Guns starts out showing some strong promise that it could be an excellent little blaster. However, the more time you spend with it the more the lack of depth and variety begins to become a problem.

Overall, there’s no denying that La Mulana is both an excellent platform game and a great addition to the Vita’s catalogue. However, it is very tough and obscure at times.

There is a lot of potential here and when it is finished, it will be absolutely essential, but as it is? It is for those who REALLY need a game like this in their life and want to show support to the developers.

Stealth Inc 2 can be a really challenging and frustrating experience but it is still a good game that just needed another pass to iron out some of the kinks.

Might not be one for veterans, but newcomers will get plenty from Etherium.

Paperbound has a lot holding it back but at its core it’s is an inventive, feverish multiplayer game that has in it the magic to inspire the same kind of cursing and joy as the best multiplayer game – it is the magic of the formula.

The randomness of the battles and the lack of replayability let the Japanese Ghostbusters down from an otherwise well written story.

Not the best Final Fantasy you’ll ever play, but still very enjoyable on the whole.

Another good entry in the adventure game genre. Just don’t go expecting a game changer.

Unfortunately this is the equivalent of getting all six numbers on the lottery, but on two separate tickets. You win a bit of money, but you were so close to the jackpot!

Overall, it feels like a very rocky beginning to a potentially exciting series.

It follows rather than leads, but Soldner-X 2 is a decent if unspectacular entrant in the genre.

An intriguing tale, coupled with lenient stealth gameplay that will exclude no-one.

To follow up one of the greats like Hotline Miami was never going to be easy and this fails to improve on it in every single way. It is still a decent game though, just don’t expect the second coming!

As one of the premiere strategy series, this feels like an almost budget expansion pack. Whilst there is plenty of game, you’ve got to wonder about the number of unplayable factions.

Aaru’s Awakening is a competent if unspectacular game, that with a little more time in the oven could have been much better as an overall experience.

Dying Light shares much with Dead Island, some would probably say a little too much, but it cuts away a lot of the septic flesh and binds the wounds with some new (if not entirely fresh) ideas.

ScreamRide is a decent game that could have been much better, but it is still worth owning just for the sandbox alone.

Neon tinged retro shooter fun. Just don’t expect it to last.

There isn’t much to say about Pillar, it cannot be recommended to everyone, because it clearly isn’t for everyone. But if you like to use your own imagination whilst being tested, then you will get a good experience here.

Ultimately it’s a game that feels like some of the mechanics are a little bit too wonky to be truly great, but if you have a knack for real time strategy you’ll get a good deal of enjoyment out of it.

A great fighting game that is unfortunately let down by a few bugs.

That aside, from a gameplay perspective it’s a decent first foray into the world of SRPG’s, it’s just bogged down by poor characters and story.

A decent concept, that has been marketed and presented totally wrong.

Crashes, glitches, bugs and constant below-par combat manage to undermine the gorgeous art style.

Hit and miss humour and some ropey stabs at surrealism aren’t enough to spoil solidly crafted and frequently beguiling storytelling. Just bare in mind it won’t last long.

Now is a great time to jump in for new players, but established players will quickly tire of grinding the same content.

Visually spectacular and mechanically solid from moment to moment, but fundamentally flawed.

It felt mean spirited, harsh and unbalanced.

A great noir adventure let down by technical issues, and features missing from its superior PC counterpart.

There is a lot about Criminal Girls: Invite Only that is good, but as usual, it is hard to dig beneath the needless sexual content.

An interesting opening to what will hopefully grow to be something quite special.

Splice is a game that will cause you great amounts of stress, but also rewards you with a sense of accomplishment.

Ultimately, there just isn’t enough here to make a full recommendation.

A competent game with a few too many flaws to make it a must have.

This game is perfect for that rainy Sunday afternoon where you know you can download this and let your kids while away a few hours without having to worry about them too much.

There is a lot to like about this trip down memory lane, but really Duke Nukem 3D just feels like a relic from a bygone era. While we would welcome back some of the classic FPS design traits, the rest is best left in the past.

Another good title from Nintendo, but with a bit more content, could have been a great one.

It is simply run of the mill, but that is fine depending on how much you like Zelda type games, or Adventure Time.

And this is it with The Crew; it tries to do so much and excels at nothing. It falls apart on almost every level, and given the potential it had that is a damn, damn shame.

An major overhaul is needed to give some life back to WWE games. This just isn't it.

Despite each stage lasting only sixty seconds, it takes hours for Minutes to blossom.

A fine game for younger audiences that can be enjoyed by parents too.

Minor issues and short playtime aside, D4 is well worth a look, and one of the few times the “better with Kinect” slogan is appropriate.

For many, though, there’ll be a point where the learning process feels too much like work, the subject matter is off-putting, or the technical ceiling is just too high to warrant the effort. Find a friend who is at the same level of (in)competence as you though and you can at least have the most ridiculous scrap of your life.

It’s still Halo. Only with more bugs than you remember.

A fun game that lacks a slight spark, but is still worth picking up.

The Legend of Korra is proof that everything Platinum touches doesn’t automatically turn to gold. An interesting combat system can’t contend with the utter mediocrity that is layered on top of it. Even Korra fans may find it difficult to get through the short playtime.

Jet Car Stunts shows a ton of promise, but much of the game is locked behind some pretty awful criteria for progression.

We gave it time, but it still isn't the game we'd hoped for. It may get there one day, just not right now.

A passable, if not perfect adventure, but certainly worth a look.

None of the stress matters in the end, though. All that you care about is getting Baby back to mummy, and the excited grinning and hopping she does after you navigate a tricky segment together is worth every moment of frustration along the journey.

A colourful tribute to an amazing city crossed with some unbelievably bad ideas.

It’s not exceptional enough to demand your time or money above the billion other games vying for your attention, but nowhere near being awful as to want to stomp into paste and fire into the sun, never to darken your door again.

Fairy Fencer F just feels a little unpolished. Despite its innovations in reducing grind and the Weapon Point system’s initial promise, there’s too much that just doesn’t sit right.

A far from perfect RPG, but one that fans of the genre will get some enjoyment for. Casuals really need not apply though.

A pretty decent football game that unfortunately has more bugs than Starship Troopers.

An enjoyable single player tower offense game that unfortunately suffers from a barren and empty online multiplayer.

Not quite hitting the levels of Lemmings, but still a decent return for the genre.

A quality remake that is well worth the price tag.

Interesting combat can’t save an otherwise incredibly dull experience.

Not for everyone, but a good laugh for those who want something that doesn't take itself too seriously.

A fun time waster nothing more, nothing less. Table Top Racing takes a while to get going, but is enjoyable when it does.

Abyss Odyssey manages to be an interesting game that will reward those who spend time with it to really get to know it.

On the whole this review may seem incredibly downbeat, but when you’ve set the bar so high it’s going to be hard to reach, and episode 4 is where the big stumble happens. It’s not a bad episode per se, just a disappointing one.

An average but fun 2D Arena Shooter that provides some fun distraction.

A decent action adventure that fans of the series will enjoy.

A solid on-rails shooter that if great fun for the short time you will spend with it.

If you can break through the walls it puts up for the player then there’s a rich and rewarding experience to be had.

There are plenty of half-naked anime girls to be found for free on the Internet.

If you are new to the Worms series, or if you have done away with any of your previous generation consoles, then Battlegrounds is a great place to start, or update to. However, if you are still playing older iterations, it doesn’t really offer enough to warrant you moving on.

A higher score if we didn't feel a sense of shame rubbing half naked girls to level up.
