    Worms is a great game of strategy but, for us, the nostalgia has worn off. Do we really need three Worms games packaged together?

    Borderlands 2 is by far a giant leap ahead compared to its predecessor, but it's also one of the greatest games to finish off this generation of consoles. You'll get lost under enormous piles of loot, a good-enough story that's surpassed by side missions, and an absolutely hilarious cast of characters. This all comes together in a giant package of joy.

    With a massive character roster, great online mode and solid gameplay mechanics, Tekken Tag 2 is easily one of the best brawlers on the market and a triumphant return for the series.

    It's on the pitch that really matters and PES 2013 delivers an exciting, fluid game of football that finally takes it to the next level.

    Tokyo Jungle is a refreshing game with a unique setting. It doesn't stay exciting forever, but there's a lot of fun to be had.

    With the varied unit types at your disposal and the commander abilities you can use, Anomaly: Warzone Earth should provide a lot of fun for those hoping to get something new out of this well-established genre.

    EA Sports takes its NHL series in a more realistic direction with a new skating system. While it's accompanied by some other authentic hockey features, it may turn off casual fans as they struggle to adapt to a slower game.

    This compelling, imaginative adventure is the best LittleBigPlanet yet and breaks new ground in a hybrid space of touch-and-button-based gaming that is only possible on PlayStation Vita.

    A clever twist on rhythm-style games featuring all that the retro scene has to offer.

    The remarkable gameplay of Ratchet and Clank's first three adventures holds up in this great HD package, but don't expect a pitch-perfect port.

    The Fall of Cybertron isn't without its issues, but it's filled with great moments and enthralling experiences worthy of any Transformer fan and anyone wanting to explore the origins of the Transformers.

    Even with a few minor technical issues, Long Road Ahead raises the bar for emotionally deep, thought-provoking narrative in a video game, and may be the best episode yet.

    Ever tried driving with butter smeared all over your tyres?

    One of the best Madden game[s] of this generation.

    The Spider-Man game franchise has long been a series that gamers have always thought should work, but it rarely has. The third attempt from Beenox, but first attempt at an open world version, shows some promise, but it has a lot of cracks along the way.

    Darksiders II is an exhilarating action-RPG set in an enormous game world. Featuring an addictive loot system, tons of side quests, and rich gameplay, Darksiders II easily deserves a spot alongside the other greats of the genre.

    Sleeping Dogs offers one of the strongest narratives in recent gaming and drags you through the gritty streets of Hong Kong's mob underworld in the process. Its gameplay doesn't offer many new ideas, but it delivers what it promises. Namely, an engaging story, fun combat, slick driving, and solid gameplay.

    While I had some issues with the soundtrack – as the music can get overly repetitive at the best of times - the graphics are pretty good for a handheld, with the plastic models and environments looking quite impressive during the replays.

    Queasy Games revitalises the platforming genre with its melodical masterpiece.

    One great part to this game was the phenomenal soundtrack.

    Challenging, fun and hypnotic, Velocity is one of the best mini games you'll experience.

    Trail and error approach can frustrate, but Puddle's attractive aesthetic and increasingly difficult challenges make it one of Vita's top puzzlers.

    A nice mix of events with different control schemes makes London 2012 a solid accompaniment to this year's Olympic Games.

    Neither Monster Hunter nor Dark Souls--but a great combination of the two.

    Strong proof that MGS works on handhelds, even if Peace Walker isn't on it.

    Surely, games like PulzAR aren't game changers, but they do show off the ability of the PS Vita in a way that other launched games don't really do.

    Table Top Tanks shines as a tech demo but falls rather flat as a game. Still, recommending PlayStation Vita's most novel experience is easy when it's priced at $1.99.

    Shortcomings aside, Codemasters has delivered a very fast paced, slickly presented, arcade demolition derby that is more than capable of giving you some great entertainment value.
    • 79 Metascore

    A strong entry now in the franchise's 20th year. It's probably one of the better NCAA games in recent history, but not a huge upgrade over last year's edition. Online is strong and there is little delay or lag during gameplay.

    Quantum Conundrum is the king of puzzles. Sadly, some of the controls keep it from being king of the genre.
