Shadow Warrior is a game that you simply must own, because it represents a by gone era where videogames didn’t take themselves at all seriously. And we all need a bit of fun in our lives.

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

A wonderful game that really tests your gaming skills.

More to this game than first meets the eye.

If you are a fan of the likes of Thief and Hitman then Styx: Master of Shadows is well deserving of a play. Goblins may be foul, disgusting creatures, but you won’t help but like this one.

An amazing example of online and offline racing built around an engaging, satisfying handling model with the looks to match. Very, very nearly worth buying an Xbox One for alone.

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 highly recommended, fun & beautiful game for all the family.

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

A wonderful accompaniment to the early films and a return to form for the franchise overall.

A stunning title that mixes the best parts of other games, whilst introducing its own 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.

Another great shooter to add to Sony’s growing library.

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.

The core of Steamworld Dig is a simple one, yet with the charm & wit it possesses really hooks you in.

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.

A wonderful strategic game that will test your logic and deduction skills to their fullest.

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

As rewarding as it is frustrating. So just like real golf then.

Do you like Naruto? Great stuff, go nuts, be happy. If you don’t then buy something, anything, else.

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

Some excellent gameplay let down slightly by poor story and characters.

A worthy sequel to the original release.

Futurlab made a bold claim that Velocity 2X is the game of the year 2014… They are not wrong.

Telltale have saved the best for last. Now the long wait for Season 3 begins.

A wonderful experience that you cannot help but want to share.

A quality remake that is well worth the price tag.

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

Disgaea 4: A Promise Revisited is an entertaining game that is an ideal fit for the Vita, but one for fans of the genre, rather than the casual audience.

A safe game that does a lot by the numbers, but still an enjoyable experience for anyone willing to give it the time.

Despite minor issues Guardians of the Galaxy is a great addition to the Pinball FX library.

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

A great mesh of two beloved franchises.

An ideal fit for the Vita, the classic arcade styling and gameplay are a joy.

The occasional issues with the gyroscope mechanics don't stop Metrico being a must own title for the Vita.

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

A wonderful Roguelike puzzle game that feel unique.

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

Minor niggles stop this being a perfect pool game, but it is the best simulation of pool to date.

The Swapper is a wonderful example of how a puzzle platformer should be done, challenging, but without any of the frustration.

Oddworld. Same as it ever was... Well no, it is better. Better than ever.

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.

A wonderful game that plays on the best ideas from Roguelikes and creates something a bit special.

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

A cracking puzzle game, but the lack of level sharing lets it down a little.

Guacamelee was great first time around and Drinkbox have taken something fantastic and improved on it even more this time with this release.

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.

A glorious return to form for the series.

A fine racer and more than welcome during the racing drought on new consoles.

A super enjoyable puzzle/shooter hybrid.

A sure fire system seller that everyone who owns the console should buy, and if you don’t, now’s the perfect time to buy one.

An excellent premise, let down slightly by some out of place game mechanics.

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 decent effort for a new IP and hopefully a sequel can build upon a solid base.

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

A competent HD upgrade, nothing more, nothing less.

Every once in a while, a game comes along that just feels special and Transistor is one of those games.

An adolescent males fantasy coming to life in your hands.

A by the numbers puzzle game, but one that is worthy of your time.

Not the strongest, but another fine addition to The Walking Dead.

Tons of atmosphere, but little in the way of replayability.

A wonderful party game that should be making an appearance at your next event.

A lengthy, and hugely enjoyable, first person dungeon romp.

A good game is in there somewhere, but held back by an overly ambitious ideal.

F2P done right. But not just that, a game that is truly worthy of your money.

A joyful experience from start to finish, a must have title for PS4 owners.

The worst version of Dead Nation.

Demon Gaze is what it is and it is fantastic at doing what it does. One for veterans of the genre only though.

MLB 14: The Show will not be for everyone, it isn’t a game for the casual gamer. It is a game for fans of the sport and for those it is the perfect game to have, especially with the cross-save features that mean you are never away from the action for any longer than you need to be. As good a sports simulation as you can get.

LEGO The Hobbit is another LEGO game, with yet another skin. But it still retains that all important fun factor.

Stop what you are doing and buy it now.

A great Motocross experience with enough to keep you playing for months on end.

Still a wonderful game, but no need to buy it if you already have it on another Sony console

Fans of the games are going to love coming back to experience them all over again, with lovely updated visuals and some tweaks that enhance the gameplay just the right amount. Newcomers will find this a lovely introduction into Final Fantasy and if this sells enough, you never know…we may get FFVII HD afterall. But even if we don’t, this is great in its own right.

On the whole though, Steamworld Dig is a fascinating game and one that will bring plenty of joy. It is a game you can take your time with and enjoy. Taking some elements from other games in the genre and tailoring them to make a wonderful experience. It is just a shame about that Cross-Save

Luftrausers has been a long time coming, but it doesn’t disappoint one little bit. The title is cross-buy, and whilst it is great on the PS3 and the big screen, it is yet another Indie title that has found a home on the Vita and it really is the perfect fit.

Ordinary. That is pretty much the best way to describe this, it isn’t a bad game, but neither is it one that will live with you, you will play it, have moments of enjoyment and moments of annoyance, then at the end of the day, you will forget about it. It could have been so much more, but it just isn’t going to make any new fans of the genre, that is for certain.

A House Divided manages to build on what the first episode started. It was a strong start, but episode 2 is where the season truly begins. With mystery and intrigue, it feels like no character is exactly who they seem. The coming episodes are going to be very interesting.

Dark Souls II is an ideal refinement, it maintains all of the original game’s qualities, but opens its doors a little to allow a whole new audience to experience it. It is the perfect sequel.

Tropical Freeze is a trip to a time when games didn’t hold your hand or treat you like some sort of imbecile. It revels in its challenge and while there will be many moments of screaming and frustration, it never feels unfair, and that’s what makes this game great.

This isn’t a game for everyone, it is one that can be enjoyed by many, but it will be fans of the show itself, that will get most satisfaction from the game.

A solid, if basic, side scrolling beat em up.

On the whole Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 is a game that does the basics well enough, without ever really setting itself apart. It is a nice conclusion to the first game but nothing more, nothing less. Worth picking up if you enjoyed the original, but hardly essential at the same time.

The LEGO Movie Videogame isn’t the best LEGO game on the market, but it is a fun title and one that you will get a good few hours of enjoyment from.

A fantastic adventure from beginning to end, and one that everyone should play.

One of the best score attack games on any system anywhere.

The themes of Danganronpa aren’t going to be for everyone, but for those who want an exceptional story that gets its hooks in, then you cannot go wrong here.

Puzzle games have always been a highlight on handhelds, and Surge Deluxe carries on this tradition. It’s amazing that despite largely lacking the AAA blockbuster titles, the Vita has become something of an indie paradise. Surge Deluxe is the latest, and one of the best.

Dragonball Z: Battle of Z is a decent game, that anyone can dive into, but it is one aimed at fans first and foremost. Fans will lap it up, but there is room for the newcomer, as long as they are willing to take their time to buy into it and learn more about the Dragonball Z world.

What the original Borderlands did so well has been grabbed and near perfected with this sequel. The comedy may be hit and miss, but it thrives on its shooting and loot grabbing. Many hours of fun will await you in Pandora.

You will be frustrated, you will swear more than you have at any point in your life before, but you will have one amazing sense of accomplishment when you complete goals and levels. OlliOlli is one amazing game, it is an instant classic. If you own a Vita, you need to pick this up right away.

A mastery of games design, Super Mario 3D World shows that Nintendo are still on top of their game. Blending the old and the new into platforming gold, this is everything we could’ve wanted and more. The reason to own a Wii U has arrived.

It isn’t a game with much substance, it isn’t one that will eat all your time, but it is a fun little time waster for when you have a spare five minutes.

After ten years Wind Waker is still as magical as it was when it was first released. The Wii U is all of a sudden looking like a console worth considering.
