    Football Manager 2012 exercises the same sheer depth and freedom that have seen the series leave other football management titles in its wake.

    The best open ended superhero game to date, despite what the score says. Excellent action sequences, but needs more mission variety.

    Astonishing madness and action packed gameplay drenched in gallons of ultra violence and style. Not to be missed.

    Sid Meier's Civilization: Revolution is easily the most effective and most addictive strategy game ever to be released on a console, and is worth a shot for anyone interested in the franchise or genre at all.

    Micro to macro, creation to community, Spore is a wonderfully imaginative and engaging experience. Don't expect great gameplay - instead, expect creativity you never knew you had, and a real attachment to the creatures in your virtual petrie dish.

    One of the greatest Racing games I as a gamer have ever played... Rockstar made a great choice by affiliating with DUB.

    While severely lacking in some features that really should've been there and being a little unfriendly to newcomers, Marvel vs Capcom 3 is a fun, deep and unique fighter full of visual flair and satisfying combat.

    Killzone 3 is a sequel that improves upon its predecessor in just about every way, and is a visually astonishing spectacle to look at.

    F1 2011 is a technically stronger outfit than its predecessor, with some sweet new additions for fans, but we can't say that it's absolutely vital unless you're very passionate or curious.

    The core gameplay outside of the combat is identical to the original game, the camera can still cause problems, enemies could have had a little more variety, some of the bosses are lacking in quality compared to others while the soundtrack is slightly limited. But none of these hinder the game in any major way.

    Simple flaws aside, NBA 2K9's solid gameplay shine above the rest, assuring that the series lifts the championship banner into the rafters for at least another year.

    Just Cause 2 reminds us why we play games in the first place: to have an utterly ridiculous amount of fun, and to surf jets because it's possible.

    Crysis Warhead is a visual tour de force, an excellent shooter and, for the price, well worth purchasing.

    Worms 2: Armageddon is a worthy follow-up to 2007's Worms. With an improved online infrastructure, new vertical levels and a variety of gameplay options, the game will keep you entertained for a long time.

    The gameplay is solid, but there are far too many mistakes and flaws that really hurt what could’ve been a solid sequel.

    The breath of fresh air that was needed in a seemingly stale FPS genre. It takes a remarkably good idea, slides across the battlefield, kicks the enemy into the air and shoots him in the crotch with it. It's that awesome, and exactly what you'd expect of a shameless, over-the-top and entertaining old-school action romp.

    American Sk8land manages to create a feeling of fun that has been missing from recent Tony Hawk titles, by focusing on pure skating, rather than mischief.

    Fallout: New Vegas gets off to a slow start, and the engine is showing its age. Nonetheless, it's extremely addictive and immensely rewarding for those willing to put in the time to see all the Mojave Wasteland has to offer.

    Dragon Quest: Hand of the Heavenly Bride is among the best Japanese RPGs ever created. RPG fans should not miss this classic.

    Gran Turismo 5 mostly delivers on its promise of an all-encompassing, incredibly accurate and challenging racing simulator, and is by all means a treat for car fans and racing game fans alike.

    It may not be that complex and it might feel a bit weary towards the end. However, this combination of Rockstar experience and a fantastic license has given the gaming community one of the best 3-D beat'em ups ever made.
