A stylish new take on the indie stealth genre, The Swindle doesn't have the chops to compete with the very best, but manages to be addictive and likable enough to succeed on its own merit.

Neither game really does anything wrong, but this remaster does nothing whatsoever to justify its existence, in some cases running worse than the originals.

A vast improvement on episode four, and gets the series back to where it should be, containing emotional moments and lots of action.

F1 2015 mimics the 2015 season in every aspect, unfortunately that includes the bad ones, too.

An acid-fueled tribute to the chiptune scene, Spectra is high on musical euphoria and painfully low on gaming excitement.

A platformer in the mould of the Sonic-games of old, and as such, well worth your time and money.

You can find fun in causing destruction in Godzilla for about forty-five minutes, before the repetitive game play, awkward controls and disappointing Kaiju fights take their toll. Godzilla deserved better.

God of War will never be Shakespeare, but it’s a bloody good time that doesn’t take the player for granted. Maybe that’s why it was remastered, after all, then: to remind us of what games can be, if we just let them take us on a journey. A daft, angry, bald journey, led by a screaming topless Adonis that lets us kill everything that moves. Fair play, Sony.

A good entry point to the franchise if you want one, but The Nightmare Princess has much more appeal for established fans.

No longer a Tiger Woods game in name, but you do wish they had retained more of the older ideas. But while there's not much content here, it still plays a superb game of golf.

Lego Minifigures Online may want to build a fanbase, but those IAPs are as painful as stepping on a LEGO brick.

Bethesda have taken the grandiose essence of The Elder Scrolls and diluted it into an MMORPG with some success, but there's still a way to go to fully realise that ambition.

Rocksteady have created one of the best comic-book games ever made.

It is fast becoming the case that the formula is becoming a little stale, and although the games are nice and inoffensive enough, it’s becoming harder and harder to shake the feeling that you’re just playing the same game, again.

Miracle Cure doesn’t really break the mould in any way for the puzzler genre. It throws you a selection of levels and different modes, it gives you several different power-ups, but overall it frustrates and fails to excite.

A wealth of content to keep you busy, but you need a good group of like-minded, hardened criminals in order to make the most of it.

An innovative auto-runner with a AAA shine.
