A fun virtual pinball game that really celebrates the amazing female characters from this comic book universe, especially from the animation and sound effects. The graphics are great and the two pinball machines are well designed that are bursting with colours, special effects and some traditional gameplay as it helps emulate a real-world pinball machine.

Pinball FX: Marvel’s Women of Power is a fun virtual pinball game that really celebrates the amazing female characters from this comic book universe, especially from the animation and sound effects. The graphics are great and the two pinball machines are well designed that are bursting with colours, special effects and some traditional gameplay as it helps emulate a real-world pinball machine.

Ultimately, I liked Psycho-Pass: Mandatory Happiness and that is not something I expected from the outset.

It’s still an addictive play on the Xbox One with overall good gameplay that is well presented and for it’s price, it’s excellent value.

PES 2017 is rewarding, intriguing and exhilarating. Quite simply, the beautiful game has never been more beautiful.

Mechanically solid and getting better with each month, The Elder Scrolls Online is one of the better MMORPG options available on current gen consoles.

I was very happy with the experience (well that’s a relative term as their are some dark elements to the story). It’s impressive to see what Indie teams can achieve and the best part is we get games that just wouldn’t be made if the field was only open to the big production houses that have to “play it safe”.

Destiny Rise of Iron is a worthy addition to the world of Destiny with some fun tweaks, improvements and great multi-player shooter mechanics.

It’s graphically amazing, boasts perfect in-game mechanics and overall, the single-player and multiplayer components work on all levels. Yes, it’s pretty much perfect with a great open-world illusion set in beautiful Australia and the only thing is missing, is that smell of rubber!

Combined with beat ‘em up gameplay and hundreds of different items to use against the hordes, the series’ best psycopath bosses and mall setting and a ton of endings and secrets, Dead Rising still holds up today for both newcomers to the franchise and returning fans like me indulging in some gory nostalgia.

The Bioshock Collection is the perfect way to revisit this amazing franchise in glorious FULL HD graphics.

It is the most accomplished basketball game out there without a doubt, and one of the most rewarding sporting games on the market.

As it stands as the individual episodes, as mentioned above, it can be frustrating getting so caught up in the wonderful story only to suffer a similar fate to Bruce/Batman in having the story suddenly stopped and having to wait for the next installment to be released.

Virginia shows what can happen when people with a passion for games, story telling and perhaps a touch of avant garde get together and let their collective subconscious flow. It is not too out of place to say this is an art house game… perhaps the more populist thing to call it would be an intellectual game… the important thing to know is that it has the capacity to make you think and feel and any game that can do that is certainly a worthy title to add to your collection. Virginia helps solidify the notion that games can be art.

Possibly good for a bit of a giggle… but be careful who you play it with or purchase it for… oh and please don’t run around an museum and tip over exhibits.

ReCore isn't weighed down with baggage but that might leave it feeling a little thin around the edges.

If you love NFL this will be a great addition to your collection with the depth available and the control given.

King of Fighters' long awaited return has resulted in arguably SNK's best looking and performing title in their long and storied career.

Sure, there is some grinding involved but once you get your characters to certain levels, things start falling into place, especially with all the items and bonuses the game throws at you, not to mention the customisation options! If you love Japanese RPG games, you really need to check out Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past.

Professional Farmer 2017 (perhaps too accurately) requires you to do a lot, just to get one crop.

Ninja Pizza Girl will tug on your emotions as it delivers a strong powerful message about adversity and positivity. It may be a simple and short game but it will leave you wanting to replay each level to see if you can beat your existing times, grab more collectables and find alternative paths to finish each level.

Whilst the generic plot and outdated graphics bring down the game somewhat, overall the game has proven itself to be worth the wait, a highly enjoyable experience with a great co-operative mode and one which will keep you hooked for hours. Coupled with the generous bonus of the original game on top of that, Namco Bandai have provided great value for money in this package and one that comes highly recommended.

Sure it’s not Samus but Metroid Prime Federation Force is actually quite a good game on the 3DS and if you’re looking for a challenge with some fun gaming mechanics, it would do you well to check out this title.

Even ‘spoiling’ the game would fail to accurately capture the full extent of what Inside has to offer, and what playing it is like. These might seem like unusual, high-concept ideas for a simple 2D puzzle-platformer, but Inside is a particularly special case.

There is a lot here for those of us prone to nostalgia and the core mechanic is well set for future adaptations. If you loved the book series then you will no doubt be charmed by this game… There are lots of different characters to play through with… but you will find the first few rooms a bit repetitive after a while.

A familiar feeling, incredibly addictive, accurate depiction of an anime that took the world by storm.

If you like sneaking around but hate engaging with provoking, meaningful discourse then Deus Ex: Mankind Divided has you covered.

Whether you're a lover of all things formula one or just a fan of racing games in general, F1 2016 deserves a place in your collection.

Livelock provides some enjoyable fun on the PC that although is not a challenge, still evokes a good gaming experience.

Manage your staff, respond to emergencies, and investigate crimes in a city on the brink of chaos.

No Man's Sky is not only a marvel but also a disappointment in some respects. Nonetheless, it's a very ambitious and powerful title with quite a bit of grinding thrown into the mix.

The variety of weapons and weapon variations automatically make this a worms to add to your collection, especially if you haven’t visited the Annelid’s for some time, this is a great game to get back into their world… it is both familiar and new all in the one lovely funny and destructive package.

In summary, Doom Unto The Evil is a fun DLC for the main game which gives players some enjoyable new maps, a couple of new weapons although the handgun really shouldn’t count and of course the Kinetic Mine and the new playable demon which adds to overall Doom mythology well.

Beyond the player choice statistics, the game also invites you to play with others… which I don’t think I’ve really seen in an adventure game before (again this is my first Telltale series game)… it’s an interesting idea and for those of us who are fans of Batman it is pretty cool being able to share our experiences as the caped crusader.

An excellent gaming experience full of nostalgia and some giggles too (read the movie posters before you think about changing them to your own… there are some nice “alternate versions” of movies).

Good for an adventure gaming fix… and if you like a touch of horror thrown in… well you’d be hard pressed to find a better blending of the two.

ABZÛ is a very original game on the PlayStation 4 and if you played Journey before, you may see a few similarities but at the end of the day, this is game should be played on its own merits and on that level it succeeds.

It’s nice to have an incentive to dive back into The Division and the new explosive RC cars are shockingly great fun to muck around with.

Mighty No. 9 is a game hamstrung by its own hubris. By choosing to rely upon archaic design decisions and outdated level design it fails to achieve the level of success so clearly desired by the developers.

The literal definition of a cash grab, this is a blatant attempt to take advantage of the hype surrounding the latest film and prey on the nostalgia of the franchise's fans.

All in all, despite being waaaay overpriced, Call of the Beastmen is a welcome addition to Total War: Warhammer and provides healthy clues the game has plenty of room to grow and improve more as time goes on.

Disney Art Academy lets younger gamers become a virtual artist with their favourite worlds!

Prison Architect is a surprisingly addictive game at times with minimal longevity.

Although it's short and unspectacular, Super Mutant Alien Assult is a fun arcade platform shooter that is worth a visit.

I Am Setsuna is a little too shallow at times to truly stand out as a worthy successor to its precursors but, if you have a hankering for a throwback to Square’s golden age of RPGs but with a current generation sheen applied, it’s worth giving the game a look even if it doesn’t quite manage to reinvent the wheel.

On the whole, Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens is a solid entry in the Lego franchise and although it's primarily intended for children, there's enough here to appease all ages, especially if you're a Star Wars fan.

Monster Hunter Generations successfully captures what made this series so great and then amplifies it on the 3DS!

I just wish that Star Ocean: Integrity and Faithlessness was a little more refined: it isn’t an unpleasant experience, but there is very little ground-breaking about it.

If you’re a fan of games like Guacamelee or the two titles the genre derives its name from, then Song of the Deep really deserves your time.

Not only would I recommend playing this game I would put it under the category of required playing especially as it is very competitively priced for a game that has obviously had a huge amount of work put it to perfecting it.

A super-deep zombie survival crafting simulator ruined by a sub-par PC-to-console port effort, resulting in endless bugs and glitches and an ugly game which struggles to run competently.

A true visual novel that draws you in and leaves you wanting more. Fantastic voice acting and musical score really just provide icing on the cake here. Very worthwhile!

A melodic and stylish JRPG catering to those who love anime, Japanese culture and J-Pop, but might not entirely appeal to Shin Megami Tensei or Fire Emblem fans.

If you want a fun party game this is a great choice… you have the “brand” of the Olympics plus the characters you know (and at least some you probably love). The controls aren’t overly taxing which can be a negative if you like a challenge… but are great for when you just want to enjoy the game, especially with friends.

Heart & Slash is an unforgiving but rewarding entry into the brawler genre.

The Technomancer is an ambitious sci-fi RPG limited by the realities of budgets. Fun and intriguing, but lacking polish and certain genre staples.

Turn-based role-playing mixed with real-time combos and complex battle systems from a variety of inspirations equals one unique SRPG.

Trials of the Blood Dragon is an interesting experiment that ultimately fails to completely succeed.

Pac-Man 256 on the PlayStation 4 is not only nostalgic but provides some quick fun!

Kirby Planet Robobot on 3DS is a great mix of classic and modern gameplay with a health dose of fun thrown into the mix!

Uncover the mysteries, solve the crimes and conceal the secrets of your family in this action adventure game set in the heart of dark London.

Some curious design decisions dampen the whole affair and the game suffers as a result.

The skilful combination of breathtaking graphics with hopeful yet haunting music including hypnotic background space sounds makes Elite Dangerous: Horizons epically immersive.

American Truck Simulator Arizona DLC is country driving at its best!

Episode 3: Marrakesh is entertaining but it doesn't build upon the brilliant Sapienza mission!

While other similar games offer a little bit of interactivity and control on what's going on, in Fragments of Him we act as a mere camera operator through various people memories, which even fail to trigger in us any empathy for the dead boy they talk about. Maybe a video game wasn't the best medium to tell this story.

I wanted to get behind Faith and the story, but it seems that the game world oppression of the big corp that runs the city has permanently leaked into the personalities of the characters.

Homefront - The Revolution is spectacularly broken in a way that very few games can get away with and offers very little redeeming features to justify playing through it.

At the end of the day, One Piece: Burning Blood is another fun instalment of this series that features a decent collection of playable characters that is cemented with a sturdy gaming engine.

With a time consuming upgrade system and lack of variation in the levels despite the procedural generation, Neon Chrome is, forgive the obvious pun, ultimately neither bright or polished enough.

Hitman GO: VR Edition really showcases the Gear VR and takes this tablet game to a whole new level with virtual reality!

Overally it’s a decent effort. It’s not overly expensive so it won’t break the bank and it’s a nice walk down memory lane for those of us who grew up on Adventure games (but with mouse clicking instead of Parser commands.

The Witcher 3 Blood and Wine provides a fitting conclusion to the story of Geralt of Rivia!

Ratchet and Clank packs a sentiment and graphically stunning punch, but remains imperfect beneath the surface.

If you’re a hardcore Fire Emblem fan, this collection will give hours upon hours of unbridled gaming fun and if you’re really keen, you have the option of playing it through again in order to experience the other side of the war.

Shadwen could have been something truly special but unfortunately it fails to reach the lofty expectations built up around its ambitious central premise.

Weapons and equipment are equally as diverse as the characters and whether that’s shurikens, mines or guns, everything has a place.

Ultimately TW: Warhammer is a deep game with plenty to keep the fan of the genre committed. The learning curve is steep, but will prove rewarding once climbed.

Doom is back on next-gen consoles and it's definitely a worthy reboot in every sense!

An esoteric mishmash of genres and with an art style that belies the more sombre elements of the storyline.

Life Goes On - Done to Death is an accomplished little indie that offers up a tangible challenge.

A very worthy addition to your games catalogue and who knows… you may get so engrossed you want to pay to experience it all!

The Revolution wants to Make Homefront Great Again but fails to shed the fact it was only ever mediocre to begin with.

So far, Hitman has shown that it can produce on the grandest stage. The transition from the last generation to this generation has allowed Hitman to showcase that it can produce expansive environments as seen in Paris and stylish atmospherics like in Sapienza.

Although certainly not without its flaws, Battleborn is a solid foundation for Gearbox to build upon in the upcoming months.

The final episode of The Walking Dead: Michonne runs out of time to provide a truly satisfying character arc, but still leaves us with a bloody, violent, thought-provoking conclusion.

Compared to the previous chapters, I found this current instalment a little on the easier side but thankfully the narrative held me quite captivated from start to finish and I’m really eager to see how this modern incarnation of King’s Quest plays out.

If you’re looking for something to fill the gap between the inevitable current-gen iteration of the Borderlands franchise, albeit with a much stronger focus on characterisation and story, then Tales from the Borderlands will more than satisfy your desire.

It’s emotional, it’s powerful but more importantly, it’s probably going to be the most memorable game of the series with a theme of redemption and forgiveness!

Ori and the Blind Forest is a special game. It doesn’t quit sit solely in the platform genre, it is a far more involved story than simply slotting in that.

Star Fox Zero is a fun game on the Wii U not only offers some entertaining gameplay but some immersive level design matched with first class graphics and audio.

It’s fun at the time, yet ultimately forgettable and the links to the Star Fox universe are tentative at best.

If you’re a fan of 2D retro platformers that test both your mental acuity and your thumb dexterity, then Shantae and the Pirate’s Curse should be right up your alley.

The core idea is simple… but the implementation adds variety and complexity to stand out from the pack. If you like this style of game then I would happily recommend The Collider 2… if you have a VR headset, get ready for a real rush!!! [VR Tested]

Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games on the 3DS is a collection of fun and some forgettable mini-games!

The second episode of The Walking Dead: Michonne is faster-paced and more about the action, but things are more than a little rushed - though still immensely violent and satisfying.

A change of pace from the running and gunning games, though with slight blemishes in the armor.

However while it’s rough around the edges, I liked it. It’s not a fantastic game, but it’s just the beginning of the collect-a-thon revival.
