    Skullgirls
    There is a lot of positives to take from Skullgirls, everything from the art direction, to the game play itself. The game seems to have been made from the ground up by a team who love the genre and wanted to make a game that everyone could share. It is a great title and a wonderful addition to the library, but to get the most out of it, you need to spend out on that fight stick.

    The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings
    The Witcher 2: Assassins Of Kings Enhanced Edition is an unforgiving and challenging RPG, made by adults for adults. It is not without flaws but what it offers in abundance is refreshment amongst a market of identikit RPG's afraid to take risks.

    South Park: Tenorman's Revenge
    SP:TR is not a bad game, but it also isn't good enough to be considered a classic either. It's so close to being a really enjoyable game, but the levels just aren't exciting enough to warrant making a player replay them over and over again. The story is good, and fans of South Park will enjoy it, but SP:TR has such a poor user interface that means that most gamers will not return once it's finished.

    The Splatters
    The Splatters is a game that from first view feels like it should have been made for iOS rather than XBLA, but from the moment you start playing you will not regret your purchase. Game play is challenging but without ever become dull or too complex. It is only 800 Microsoft Points too and very much worth every penny you will pay.

    Anomaly: Warzone Earth
    Tower defence games have been done to death, yet here Anomaly adds an excellent twist to the genre. If you have the PC or mobile version, then this may not be an instant purchase, but if not, then you just need to pick it up.

    The Pinball Arcade
    At 800 Microsoft points, you are getting great value per table. Pinball Arcade is by far the most accurate representation of pinball there is and short of buying up the real things, you will not get a better option.

    Tiger Woods PGA Tour 13
    Overall Tiger Woods PGA Tour 13 is worth owning, especially if you missed out on last years effort, the swing mechanics are improved and there is a decent amount of new content. It isn't worth buying for the Kinect alone though.

    Wrecked: Revenge Revisited
    Awful single player and online issues that frustrate more than entertain mean that Wrecked: Revenge Revisited should be one that should avoid at all costs. However, should you be in a position where you can do local multiplayer, then there is no reason not to own this game. That alone is enough to sell the game, as simple as that.

    Knight Fortix 2
    All being said, Fortix 2 is a real challenge for those new to the game and those medieval strategy veterans. Across 35 levels, the sheer strategy of it all can get too much at times and feel repetitive despite the constant variety of enemy onslaught, but those dedicated to genre will enjoy Fortix 2 a lot.

    FIFA Street
    There is a lot crammed into FIFA Street and on first glance it may seem like a cash in title with little depth, however scratch beneath that surface and there is a game that is anything but shallow. Aside from poor online features, which are the only blight on the game, FIFA Street is a wonderful entry into the sports genre.

    Rayman 3 HD
    Overall Rayman 3 HD isn't anything new, it is however a worthy re-release of decent platform game. Whether you played the original back in 2003 or not, it is a game worth picking up, especially if you are a fan of platformers.

    Dead Space 2
    Perhaps the lack of anything new limits the impact of this sequel. The storyline isn't riveting, far from it in fact, but for players who reached the end in the original; you'll want to see what else is going on in the Dead Space universe.

    Sine Mora
    Overall, Sine Mora is a game that is accessible enough that newcomers need not be scared away, yet deep and challenging enough that long time veterans of the genre will not feel short changed, it is not an easy balance to get right, especially with this type of game, yet Grasshopper and Digital Reality have done just that. Simply stunning.

    Defenders of Ardania
    In conclusion, Defenders had the basis for a good game. The developers have tried something different, but it hasn't worked this time. The gameplay just comes across as uneven. Certain units should be strong against some towers and weak against others and vice versa, instead of every unit bar one being weak against everything. Unfortunately, this game simply comes across as a chore to play, rather than a joy.

    Alan Wake's American Nightmare
    This is a solid entry in the expanding repertoire of Alan Wake and keeps players interested in what lies ahead.

    Mass Effect 3
    In conclusion, this game has not let the series down. Opinion will differ with the actual story, but with the amount of different options available in the game, that is bound to happen. It just can't be stressed enough that this game will only give half the pleasure if it is played without prior Mass Effect experience.

    Shoot Many Robots
    Overall Shoot Many Robots is a game that takes an existing genre and builds on it, without ever trying to reinvent the wheel. It does what it does and it does it rather well. It isn't the best shoot-em-up you'll play, but it is one you'll get plenty of enjoyment from.

    JASF: Jane's Advanced Strike Fighters
    JASF is a fine concept that could have been a winner, however it is let down by some questionable design choices and a lack of excitement that flying a jet fighters should give. It isn't a game that should be bypassed completely, but one left for rental or the bargain bins.

    Resistance 3
    They say the show must go on and in the Resistance world there are still questions to be answered, but the disappointing nature of this third instalment and its failure to deliver at retail most likely means this is the last release in the series. Perhaps such an end is the best option all round.

    SSX
    Despite a poor single player mode, a half finished RiderNet feature and some suspect track design choices. SSX has that something special, that bit of magic that keeps you coming back for more.

    I Am Alive
    Overall, I Am Alive is a fantastic achievement for a downloadable title. It manages to achieve a feeling of survival that not many have managed to achieve. It tells a story really well and the end of each chapter keeps you wanting more and makes you want to push on.

    Binary Domain
    Like other recent SEGA titles, such as Vanquish, Binary Domain isn't one that instantly jumps out, it is however one that will grow on you over time and one that becomes very hard to leave alone until finished. It has some faults granted, but the overall package outweighs any negatives easily.

    Smash 'N' Survive
    Overall, Smash and Survive is like a poor man's version of the Burnout series with a demolition derby aspect badly added. If you're looking for a diamond in the rough amongst all the other low budget downloadable games on the Playstation Network then we suggest you keep looking, because this isn't it.

    Catherine
    Catherine, above all else, is an incredibly bold game. It's the black sheep (more puns) in a flock of all too similar games out there right now. It's smart, funny, well scripted, well animated and very fun to play.

    Grand Slam Tennis 2
    Planning on spending time online? Spend some hours in Career mode and a few more on the practice court and you're on your way to greatness. Staying offline? Unless you're happy with a tragically uneven Career mode, you're better off perusing other options for the virtual tennis court.

    UFC Undisputed 3
    UFC Undisputed 3 is the standout of the series thus far, gameplay is the best yet and the amount of content on offer is incredible. Career mode may be the main focus for these games, but it is the Title and Ultimate Fights modes that offer up the most rewarding experience. Whether you are new to the series or an old pro, this is worth picking up and is easily the best sports fighting game on the market.

    Warp
    For 800 Microsoft Points, Warp is a fantastic way to start the 2012 House Party, it will be bettered over the course of the year, but it is short enough that it won't take over your gaming time, yet engaging enough that you will have a great time with it.

    • 90 Critic Score
    The Darkness II
    The Darkness II easily has one of the best narratives you'll find in a game, from how it is told, to how it looks. Along with some excellent gameplay, you would be an utter fool not to add this to your collection.

    Final Fantasy XIII-2
    One thing you cannot criticise Square Enix for is taking this direct sequel lightly as there's been a thorough spring clean on all fronts. A much improved gaming experience but is at the same time hampered by its ties to the past. The characters remain uninteresting and a great villain makes an RPG worth all the hours of work. If Square Enix continue to listen to criticism then there's hope for another classic entry in the Final Fantasy series one day.
    • 71 Metascore

    Grand Slam Tennis 2
    Grand Slam Tennis has a fantastic engine, it plays an amazing game on the court, however it is surrounded by an uninspiring career mode and a sterile feel to the whole thing. It is a great base to start a new franchise but there is still a lot of work to be done. Going to a fifth set against Rafael Nadal can be a real tense affair, mistakes start to creep in and there is a fine line between winning and losing. It really does capture the drama of professional tennis. Well worth picking up as there is plenty of fun to be had, despite the flaws.
