It hasn’t aged particularly well, and there are serious technical issues with the remaster, but the sequel to Chrono Trigger is still one of the original PlayStation’s best Japanese role-players.

It may not be a simulation but this is still an in-depth and hugely enjoyable racing game.

At first a HD remake of Wii Sports seems a faintly ludicrous idea but the game is still a great introduction to gaming, and to the potential of motion controls.

Not the most polished of officially licensed golf games, but its passion for the sport and wide variety of options make it a very playable and fun experience.

A tense and dramatic interactive movie with superbly realised characters, a breathless plot, and a still-frame animation style that’s likely to prove extremely divisive.

It may not offer any surprises, but with a mountain of modes, options and unlockables this amiable golf sim is another excellent showcase for the PS Vita.

A highly competent 2D platformer, but one so utterly devoid of any new ideas it’s really only for the nostalgic and those desperate to play something new(-ish) on the Switch.

A deceivingly original multiplayer shooter with plenty of unusual ideas for the committed player.

A perfectly solid rhythm action experience that manages to cater to casual and experienced players alike, although it lacks ambition.

A clever mix of Pac-Man and Qix, together with retro modern presentation and an addictive high score challenge.

Some of the most difficult decision-making in gaming, both tactically and morally, but occasional rough edges betray the game’s small budget and short development time.

Not much more than an HD update of the last gen version, but still one of the best arcade shooters around and a loving homage to the original Asteroids.

A thought provoking yet funny retro style adventure, that offers one of the most complex and versatile branching narratives in gaming.

Still one of the series' most influential and enduring entries, but this latest repackaging offers very little that is new to celebrate it.

The turn-based battles don’t fully convince but the new protagonist and bizarre mini-games still feel distinctively and entertainingly Yakuza.

Yet another current gen disappointment that can't hold a candle to the ever improving FIFA series.

A Heavy Metal comic strip come to life, this is a worthy successor to Golden Axe and a great co-op game – but it stops short of fully revitalising the genre.

The central 2D shooter is not very good, but creating your own game to replace it is much more rewarding.

There’s not much to it, and it’s infested with ads until you cough up 99p to get rid of them, but its absurdity and charm carry what is at heart a very simple game.

Purposefully old-fashioned and frequently frustrating, but despite being a 15-year-old retro themed Wii game this remaster still holds up surprisingly well.

It's preaching only to the converted but if you can stomach both the story and learning curve this remains a rewarding and innovative fighter.

Amanita’s distinctive art style and wonderfully expressive characters, whose movements and expressions convey chapters’ worth of emotion, are as effective as ever, even if the ladder mazes and robot baiting eventually get to feel a bit samey.

A great version of an okay fighting game might not seem the best of recommendations, but this a surprisingly worthwhile alternative to Street Fighter.

It may lack the scares of its big brother, but this proves an impressively progressive lightgun game.

Mountains of game modes and content but only a molehill amount of personality, this does nothing for either Tetris or the 3DS's back catalogue.

An astoundingly beautiful puzzle platformer, that’s a little too frustrating in practice but far from the twee family game some may mistake it for.

Microtransactions rear their ugly head once again, but they’re not enough to take the shine off one of the best portable Ridge Racers so far.

The best Mana game in a long while but how it managed to leave out the one feature that should have come as standard is a complete mystery.
