    Heart&Slash
    Besides a camera straight from Robot Hell, there’s a real Heart to this little indie brawler.

    Ratchet & Clank Collection
    Despite a little wear and tear, the original Ratchet and Clank Trilogy more than gives you bang for your buck.

    The Walking Dead: Michonne - Episode 3: What We Deserve
    Important, eye-opening, beautiful, and heartbreaking.

    Age of Booty
    With its colourful visuals, animated soundtrack and a real sense of “pick up and play” gaming, Age of Booty is a title most people with Xbox Live should check out, even if it is just for the demo, as chances are you’ll like what you see and purchase it for 800 MS points.

    Aliens: Infestation
    A fairly enjoyable title that's let down by a few glitches and questionable design decisions. The best things it has going for it is the budget price (around $60) and that the majority of the game is the classic Metroid-style exploration.

    Atelier Shallie: Alchemists of the Dusk Sea
    Much more than meets the eye here - an RPG for RPG fans.

    Din's Curse
    If you've still got a 14" monitor or are looking for something to play on your GeForce 2 equipped monster of a PC (this would probably work well on a netbook), Din's Curse is a pretty addictive way to flit away the winter hours.

    • 73 Critic Score
    ShootMania Storm
    It does get a little tiresome, however, with so few options and - more importantly, perhaps - the lack of variety in the look of the maps.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Payday: The Heist
    When you take into account that Payday is an indie game and the promise of potentially more levels down the lines as downloadable content, there is very little reason to not pick this game up.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Paper Mario: Color Splash
    A fun game that is almost a step in the right direction for the series.

    Don Bradman Cricket
    Aside from difficulty finding a quick match, and the fact that it’s a year old game that looks a lot older as it’s being sold at full price, Don Bradman Cricket offers plenty for those that don’t have the 2014 version.

    LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars
    There is just so much content to the game, that players will find themselves inevitably in the middle of a frenzied grab-a-thon.

    SingStar Amped
    All in all, the lineup of songs isn’t terrible – it just lacks any compelling set of standout songs that hold everything together.

    Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine
    Space Marine is solid. Dependable. If intense combat carnage is your thing, you will enjoy this game. If you're a fan of the 40k universe, you will enjoy this game even more. If you are into neither of these things… well, there's always the demo to try out. It never reaches the heights of the top echelon of third-person action games, but it's a good start.

    Tales of Hearts R
    Tales of Hearts R won’t convert anyone, but fans of Japanese RPGs would do well to pick this up.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Sports Champions
    This is the game to get if you're set on buying a Move controller or two. It's a shame that we couldn't have more involved experiences at launch, but Sports Champions should tide you over until the mythical bunch of 'second generation' Move games arrive.

    Wonderbook: Diggs Nightcrawler
    It would have been perfect with a little more polish and gameplay variety, but it still manages to be enjoyable, not too hard or scary for younger kids, and a nice looking game that adults hopefully shouldn’t find too unbearable to play with the young ‘uns.

    Dead Space 3
    A combination of an average shooter (that won’t appeal to shooter fans) and a (tension and atmosphere barren) survival horror game.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Who's That Flying?!
    Who's That Flying? raises the bar for what minis are capable of.

    Tiny & Big: Grandpa's Leftovers
    While it's not every day that emails about "underpant games" make it through my spam filters, I'm particularly glad this one did. It's indie gaming at its finest.

    WWE 2K14
    WWE 2K14 isn’t a huge improvement over WWE ’13. It does a great job of representing the events of past WrestleManias, however, packing a roster that has almost as many legends as modern superstars - it might even rely too much on nostalgic appeal.

    • 82 Critic Score
    Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles
    I daresay that this is the perfect girlfriend game; in fact, most situations have you paired as a girl/guy duo which really sets the mood. Shooting zombies is great, but shooting them with friends is even better.

    • 72 Critic Score
    Edna & Harvey: Harvey's New Eyes
    For those who like their adventures on the darker, twisted - but still humorous side, Edna & Harvey: Harvey's New Eyes might just tickle your fancy. A worthy successor to the original.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    After Burner Climax
    After Burner's high-energy action, combined with next generation visuals and arcade pricing combines for a stellar package.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Panzer General: Allied Assault
    Despite the bizarre you-failed-because-the-Germans-surrendered quirk this is one of the top turn-based strategy titles of the generation. On the down side it isn’t something casual gamers will get into easily. Play the trial first.

    SUPERHOT VR
    Superhot has been talked about a lot since it debuted on Oculus, and for good reason. Now that it’s finally available for PSVR owners, it’s a must have for anyone who wants to play a VR first-person shooter with a twist.

    Battalion Wars 2
    Its presentation is some of the best on the Wii and will silence those who feel that Nintendo doesn't know modern production values. However, at the same time the gameplay remains the simple and accessible stuff that has sold the console to the masses.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Overlord II
    It's fun, looks great and will make you chuckle - you'll just be frustrated a little more often than is entirely forgivable. Very definitely worth a look, though, even if you thrashed the first one.

    Sam & Max: Beyond Time and Space
    Sam & Max represents fantastic value.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    NHL 18
    NHL 18 is a good game, but I’m biased; even I know that there is little in it that’s new, and NHL Threes isn’t enough make it worth buying. There are great details that I love. The gameplay is fast and tough and takes work to master. But hockey is in danger. It’s in danger of falling behind baseball, football, and basketball in the gaming world, just like it’s lagging behind in real life.
