Hands-on: Ghost Recon: Future Soldier

"Basically you go from situation to situation, checking the environment out, maybe by using a drone and tagging enemies."

Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes

"Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes is due out on just about every imaginable platform this June."

World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria

"Pandaria has grown from five to seven zones, and content wise Mists looks to become the most densely packed expansion for World of Warcraft so far."

Civilization V: Gods & Kings

"Gods & Kings appears to offer just the right amount of tweaks and new features to potentially change the way you play the game."

The Amazing Spider-Man

"Do we finally see a Spider-Man version of Arkham City? No. But that's a 'no' full of positive elements."

Max Payne 3

"Every aspect of what we see proves Rockstar knows exactly what it's doing. Expectation's still high, while any residual worry has flatlined."

The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings

"From the off it's immersive stuff. Fantasy fare with a bitter, mature taste that bristles with dialogue more Game of Thrones sharpness than Lord of the Rings poetical."

Sleeping Dogs

"We would be just as happy if United Front managed to deliver what they promise as far as atmosphere, story and kung fu goes."

Dragon's Dogma

"You look at Dragon's Dogma, and you think this is what Final Fantasy XIV wanted to be."

Halo 4

"'Traditional' is the word that springs to mind. Microsoft obviously wish to reassure fans at this point that whatever new features they're building, it's still on familiar foundations."

Fable: The Journey

"Kinect had forced the studio to rethink radically, Lionhead explains. One has to think differently to craft a great Kinect game, to create a strong experience."

End of Nations

"We try and draw some suitable analogy for what follows. Some movie for easy reference, some great literary work for poetic description. Neither spring to mind."

Hands-on: Risen 2: Dark Waters

"There is some drinking, gambling, sneaking, cheating and lots of treasure hunting involved."

Trials Evolution

"Based on everything I've seen, it's not only going to contend for a downloadable of the year, but game of the year as well."

Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City

"Despite the oddity, Resident Evil going the way of Left 4 Dead is an incredibly attractive proposition."

Shootmania Storm

"It's a far simpler setup to what's expected from the genre today, but purer as a result: straight into gameplay that's boiled down to attack or defend, dodge or repulse."

Prototype 2

"Radical Entertainment are doing something very interesting with Prototype 2 from a narrative point of view."

Total War: Shogun 2 - Fall of the Samurai

"The scale of the project undertaken here is impressive. Forget about this as an expansion pack, because it is much more than that."

Warlock: Master of the Arcane

"Warlock: Master of the Arcane is set in Ardania. The world best known from the Majesty games..."

Spec Ops: The Line

"He'll slowly drown in each and every decision made. A flash of bloodied sand dunes vomiting out blackened, crawling figures is still burned into our mind's eye."

Mass Effect 3: The First Hour

"With little more than a word of thanks to staff, we walk out. There's little more to be said: the end of the world is here, and it feels great."

Syndicate: Co-Op Hands-On

"Once more advanced tactics are used in the battles Syndicate co-op stands out as an experience you won't find elsewhere."

War of the Roses

"From the very brief demo of the technology that runs the game it is clear that there is massive potential here."

Ghost Recon: Future Soldier

"In Ghost Recon, AI is what you make it. In three of the four single player levels we play for this preview, we're slowly reintroduced to the idea that 'I' equals team."

Darksiders II

"Compared to the previous game with its open and expansive dungeons this takes things one step further..."

Rainbow 6: Patriots

"They've not been privy to his terror, his fear. The dual perspectives of conflict cast a sense of uneasiness over the situation."

Mass Effect 3

"I'm not sure if it'll ever become natural for me to yell at my Xbox 360, although the results are undeniably satisfying."

Hitman: Absolution

"It's no less a convincing portrayal. With low-grade pixelation filters from the previous title scrubbed, Glacier 2 can finally shine."

The Settlers Online

"Rectifying problems became compulsive, and with so much going on, there's always something going wrong."

MUD

"It's as if Milestone has exchanged the prim and proper dedication of a 9 to 5 for a debauched and wild weekend in the country."

The Last of Us

Naughty Dog's latest wowed at the VGAs: but what's the real story behind The Last of Us? We headed to the creator's studios to find out.

Hands-on: Binary Domain

"Shoot off the head of one of the many robots you're fighting and it's not long before they're staggering about aimlessly, shooting at their robotic brethren."

Ridge Racer Unbounded

"There's liberal exuberance in its two-ton metallic flings; exciting in its voraciousness, but suitably bizarre in the extremities in which drifts play out."

2012's Most Wanted - Aliens: Colonial Marines

"This is an opportunity for Gearbox to really put itself on the map. All it needs to do is deliver a game worthy of the series. If only it were that simple."

Resistance: Burning Skies

"Stepping onto a balcony with a stunning view of, among other things, the Statue of Liberty, it's easy to see how Sony's little device flexes its muscle."

2012's Most Wanted: Prey 2

Our latest Most Wanted for next year is Prey 2: a title that trumps the identikit sequel stylings of many series with something wholly unique and exciting.

2012's Most Wanted: Halo 4

"Chances are that 343 is going to serve us up an entertaining game. Just how good it will be remains to be seen."

Furmins

"Pride wants you to complete the level perfectly first run round. You won't. But you won't be alone - there'll be plenty of other folk swearing alongside you."

Transformers: Fall of Cybertron

"The action looked a lot like in War of Cybertron, but the variation in levels and bots was much better than anticipated."

I Am Alive

"Visibility is poor, the high density of the air pollutant a killer - excursions below the dust line are high risk, but can yield collectables essential to your survival."

Mass Effect 3

"Seeing all the story threads come together in Mass Effect 3 is going to have a massive impact."

UFC Undisputed 3

"Yuke's took on the criticisms it received and developed a completely new system, which at first feels too hard. Way too hard."

Final Fantasy XIII-2

"It's Terminator with a sexual predator twist...though we're aware that's the cynicism talking."

Hands-on: Syndicate

"Don't expect the old Bullfrog Syndicate, and don't expect Deus Ex and you're likely in for something very entertaining come February."

Hands-on: Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning

"You're the chosen one, brought back from the dead, to save a world where the mortal races are well on their way towards extinction."

Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary

"There's a fervent wish that 343 had the time to reupholster the entire game as such, even though such a grand undertaking its purely a pipe-dream."

Soul Calibur V

The newest info on Soul Calibur V has been revealed, as we go hands-on and round up all the latest on Namco Bandai's returning fighter.

Hands-on: Star Wars: The Old Republic

Arriving at Korriban a disgraced slave, stripped of my Sith rank as my master had fallen - we're the Sith Inquisitor.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

"We've lived a lifetime already, and we've barely scraped three hours. We've barely scraped the world."

Assassin's Creed: Revelations

"Ezio may be 52, but he's still one of the strongest characters in the medium. If Revelations lives up to its promise, it will more than do justice to his memory."
