    Gears of War 3
    Being a gamer who puts story almost equal to gameplay, personally I was kind of annoyed at the tangent the third game seemed to go off on. Gears 2 asked more than a few questions, and whilst Gears 3 answers some of them - mainly relating to the lambent - it leaves other's painfully un-answered.

    Hard Reset
    So amongst the other problems, it's also short and clearly rushed.

    Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine
    In a year of big-hitters, Space Marine is one hell of a surprise.

    Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine
    One of 2011's best surprises.

    Resistance 3
    It may have taken 3 attempts, but Resistance 3 is the FPS the PS3 has been waiting for.

    Crimson Alliance
    Bite-sized gaming at its best.

    Men of War: Vietnam
    It is good, but the Vietnam setting doesn't fit the template as well as World War II, and I would strongly advise newcomers to play the original Men of War first, otherwise that first mission may well put you off for life.

    The Baconing
    Hothead may be pushing their luck, but there's life in the Hero to the Downtrodden yet.

    Deus Ex: Human Revolution
    The only thing one might criticise is that it can get a bit samey after a while. Around two-thirds of the way through, you may well be feeling a bit fatigued by the whole yellowness of your surroundings, and be yearning for something to change, even just for one level.

    Bodycount
    A lack of ideas and poor design just won't cut it in a year that sees Battlefield 3 and Modern Warfare go head-to-head.

    Bodycount
    Bodycount has been pinned as the spiritual successor to Black, but this couldn't be any further from the truth. The latter was full of quality at the end of the last generation's lifespan, while this title whimpers to a halt in a key point of 2011's gaming calendar.

    Serious Sam Double D
    Easily the most insane and downright fun 2D shooter I've played all year, if not ever. And yes, I did say Vuvuzela sandwich creatures with forks for legs.

    Dead Island
    An injection of human drama could have brought the game's reality into line with our expectations, which were so cruelly raised by that teaser trailer mere months ago.

    Hector: Badge of Carnage - Episode 2: Senseless Acts of Justice
    You certainly might find a few hours of amusement here, and original ludicrous comedic 2D adventures are something I'll always support, but Straandlooper have a long way to go before they reach LucasArts standard. They're not even at Leisure Suit Larry yet.

    Tropico 4
    If you've got time to kill, Tropico 4 is perfect. It hasn't changed much since its predecessor, but it's still an excellent simulation – something that's welcome in the era of visuals-conscious FPSs and lacklustre adventure games. A modernised concept, that's perfectly period.

    King Arthur: Fallen Champions
    Ultimately though I found myself sat in front of my computer, scratching my unkempt beard and trying to answer the question: who is the game for?

    Driver: San Francisco
    Clever ideas are interspersed with components that fail miserably, making this the definition of 'mixed bag'.

    Street Fighter III: Third Strike Online Edition
    3rd Strike Online Edition provides a lick of paint that improve the dated visuals considerably.

    Deus Ex: Human Revolution
    Challenging, addictive, immersive... provided you like stealth-based action – there hasn't been an action/RPG this good in a long while.

    Dungeons of Dredmor
    A fun game, especially for rogue-like veterans, who will get its dry British wit and genre in-jokes. The game is basically the next generation of the true rogue-like, much like Fatal Labyrinth was before it.

    Toy Soldiers: Cold War
    An excellently crafted game that goes above and beyond all expectations for an indie downloadable title. The action feels tight, it's bursting with content, the graphics and sound are impressive.

    Age of Empires Online
    This is a bold step for an RTS into the ripe and unconquered pastures of the Internet, and while it isn't completely surefooted, its spears are certainly sharp.

    Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet
    Insanely Twisted? Maybe not, but it's definitely entertaining enough to be worthy of the name Ultimately Excellent Shadow Planet: a fantastic adventure for anyone enticed by the thrill of exploration.

    Bleach: Soul Resurreccion
    It's just a little too shallow for comfort.

    Boulder Dash-XL
    It just lacks that bit of variety and any sort of multiplayer that would push it right into recommended territory.
    • 83 Metascore

    Fallout: New Vegas - Old World Blues
    You will love it though if you chose the Weird Wasteland perk, loved the Vault filled with Garys in 3, or just don't mind playing through an extremely funny and well-written DLC pack that throws interesting surprises at you all the time, rewards exploration greatly, and packs more imagination and play-time in it than nearly every other full-priced game out there.
