F1 2010 is a fine starting point from Codemasters who deserve credit for putting together this comprehensive release. Generally, our high expectations have been met; it's where the series goes next that will be the true test.

Has a very deep and engrossing (perhaps blasphemous, hence the furore) tale to tell.

The classic single player and the revolutionary multiplayer makes this a great little package.

Top Spin 4 is a fantastic game and definitely the best tennis game currently on the market. There a few minor flaws, but for every negative, there are a hundred more positives. The realism of the game play is leaps and bounds ahead of competitors and predecessors in the series, but there are still a few loose ends that need to be tied up.

UFC Undisputed has raised the bar in the cage itself but has really let itself down with a career mode that offers very little.

A solid framework for the future of online gameplay on the Wii and the strong multiplayer sessions are the only reason this game is getting an above-average score from us; if you’re not a fan of the series or can’t play online, deduct three or four points from our score and stay away.

The game's difficulty is well-placed, with early scuffles leading to increased mania.

As incredibly ambitious and well-plotted the execution, Deus Ex: Invisible War falls slightly short of towering. If only those crash bugs and loading times were near-invisible, we'd be unapologetically, opaquely positive in our praise.

Quite simply, one of the greatest stories of this gaming generation has just released its greatest chapter.

NBA 2K7 is your typical update. It may not revolutionise anything, but the improved graphics and online mode are enough to win over fans of the series.

The first superhero game that actually made Gamestyle feel like we WERE the protagonist (unlike wannabe titles such as Batman Begins and Spider-Man 2, which dressed you up in spandex and left you hanging for more).

This is definitive version of one of the best games to come out in an absolute age. There really is no excuse not to own it.

All in all the game is a marked improvement over the first, with the addition of new weapons, a great sound track, and the same brilliant combat.

There's plenty of depth and challenge that even the best strategist may find hard to conquer. Controlling a civilization has never been so fun.

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

Killzone 3 doesn't do anything that the genre hasn't seen before. That said, everything that it does is done very well: the fantastically detailed visuals, the brilliant shooting mechanic, the variation of the levels.

All the polish, options and new modes are all well and good, but without a precise handling model and intelligent AI, then F1 2012 wouldn't be worth the upgrade, so the fact Codemasters have managed to spend the year getting that aspect right, plus improve all the bells and whistles is just so refreshing to see.

Double Fine have produced some brilliance in Stacking and it is a more than worthy addition to any collection.

The PS2 engine may be showing its age ever so slightly, but the fluidity of the action is something Gamestyle did not expect to see until the next generation of consoles.

Whilst the one man team isn’t exactly new, it still impresses when the game in question has the level of polish that Axiom Verge does, it may look extremely retro, but it feels fresh because of the way it plays.

That doesn't change the fact that underneath the fireworks and glitter that the generation-jump brings DMC4 is a far less complete video game than its predecessors, and being new to the series will simply delay the realisation that the game just doesn't live up to the series' potential.

There's not a huge amount that's actually new in the singleplayer game but for those on Live it's an absolute must have. All your Friends will have it and be talking about the game and the new levels, so you'll simply be missing out if you don't get involved.

Etrian Odyssey IV is an example of just how engaging a JRPG can be, but also doesn’t stick exclusively to the traditional roots. It is accessible, but the difficulty remains, as it blends what the genre does best with modern elements making sure it finds a wider audience. Whether you are a series veteran or coming in fresh, this is a wonderful game to get stuck in to.

Bulletstorm is the Summer Movie Blockbuster of the videogame world. It is big, brash and bold.

There's enough levels to provide a bit of variety to the single player modes but multiplayer is definitely where it's at, and always has been.

A worthy successor to the Ace Combat series in almost every respect. Fans will love this game and many more may succumb to its charm.

All in all, an improvement over the original, but not a huge step forward by any means.

A return to gaming's roots. The best launch title for PS4 bar none.
